- Denver Broncos fall 24-23 to Dallas Cowboys in preseason opener
When the Broncos released their first official depth chart of the season, one name was notably absent from the two-deep list of starters and backups.
After starting nine games last year as a rookie, Perrish Cox, the embattled second-year cornerback, has found himself fighting for snaps with the second- and third-string defense at the same time he is facing two counts of felony sexual assault.
"I've got to earn their trust back at corner. So that's what I'm going to do," Cox said after practice Wednesday.
Cox was arrested last December and is accused of raping a woman who told police she believed she was drugged. Cox has pleaded not guilty and has a trial date set for October. If convicted, he faces a minimum of two years and a maximum of life in prison.

"With the off-field issues, that's all on me. They're letting me do what I do, and that's play ball," Cox said of his coaches. "Whatever is off the field is off the field."
Yet the on-field work has been a challenge for Cox.
He admits he has had trouble adjusting to the nickel corner position — where he is asked to line up in the slot, rather than outside — and said that is the reason for his slide down the depth chart.
"I've never been in there before and that's kind of tough," Cox said. "Going inside is totally different."
Cox was the fifth cornerback for the Broncos to enter Thursday's preseason game at Dallas, but he was the one to make the first interception of the John Fox era.
Cox jumped in front of a short pass by Dallas quarterback Stephen McGee and returned the ball 27 yards to the Cowboys' 7-yard line, setting up a Broncos field goal just before halftime.
Plays like that could help remind the Broncos new coaching staff why Cox was the team's No. 3 cornerback last year as a rookie, when he started eight games at right corner opposite Champ Bailey and another game in Bailey's place on the left side.
But now Cox is behind not only Bailey and starting right corner Andre Goodman, but also fellow second- year player Cassius Vaughn and veteran Nate Jones.
Cox insisted that he doesn't think he has been distracted by the courtroom drama, but he said he's not sure his bosses at Dove Valley feel the same way.
"How they see it, in their eyes, that's what it's been," Cox said, when asked if he had been distracted. "But in my opinion about it, it's like I said, a new position,"
Coach John Fox said Tuesday that it was "still early" and that Cox was adapting to the new defense. The Broncos have been quiet about Cox's legal trouble.
Meanwhile, Vaughn appears poised to move into a significant role, as he has leapfrogged not only Cox, but also Jones and Syd'Quan Thompson, each of whom played ahead of Vaughn last season.
"It was very evident that he worked on his flexibility, that he worked on his cover skills," Fox said. "He invested the time it takes to make that sophomore leap."
Vaughn, who made the team as an undrafted rookie last year and played almost exclusively on special teams, spent nearly his entire offseason in Denver to work out with safety Brian Dawkins and linebacker Joe Mays.
Now Vaughn is among the busiest players in every practice, with reps with the first-team nickel package, the second-team base defense at left cornerback, the second-team nickel package and all of the special-teams units. He is currently the No. 2 kickoff returner behind Eric Decker.
"It is pressure that you invite. When you work hard enough, you're prepared for it," Vaughn said. "It's been good for me this camp, and I'm just blessed to be here right now."

Backup competition
Veterans Champ Bailey and Andre Goodman appear set as the Broncos' starting cornerbacks. NFL reporter Lindsay H. Jones analyzes the other six players competing for the nickel and backup jobs:
Cassius Vaughn
An undrafted rookie in 2010, Vaughn is playing with the first-team nickel defense in camp after a solid offseason of training in Denver. Also a key player on special teams.
Nate Jones
The versatile veteran played nickel corner and safety at times last season, as well as special teams. That versatility could help him secure a spot on the final roster.
Perrish Cox
Listed third on the depth chart at left corner, Cox has seen his practice reps diminished from last year, when he started nine games. His role on special teams has decreased as well.
Syd'Quan Thompson
Third on the depth chart at right corner, Thompson — who played in 13 games in 2010 — has been a ballhawk at practice. He made two interceptions in the final full practice before the preseason game at Dallas.
Brandon Bing
An undrafted rookie from Rutgers, he has been getting work on the punt and kickoff return units.
Chris Harris
The bigger of the two undrafted rookies, Harris — who played at Kansas — also could play safety if necessary.

I picked up a 70's Raleigh 531 frame to build as a fixie for my brother who's in grad school in Berkeley. He is pretty damn athletic, but has never ridden fixed before. What's a good ratio to start him out at? 42-16?
I'm not familiar with the area (hills) wel enough to know what ratio would be appropriate. Thanks!

Revenge Over Nothing Personal - "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" (2004)
As with many of Anderson's characters, Steve Zissou is unable to free himself of many spiritual weights. In this case, it's his fading cultural rank as a legendary oceanographer and documentary filmmaker, his wife (Angelica Huston), for whose affection he battles with his sworn nemesis Alistair Hennessey (Jeff Goldblum), and most recently, the death of his best friend Esteban, swallowed whole by the elusive and singular jaguar shark.
The search for the creature takes him across a bevy of ships and locales, such as the Zissou compound on Pescespada Island (named after an Italian dish in the restaurant where Anderson and co-writer Noah Baumbach held meetings about the film), or his ship, The Belafonte (in actuality a minesweeper vessel purchased from South Africa) seen in cutaway form. Home to a divisive moment, though, are the Ping Islands, where Steve and his cronies stage a rescue of Hennessey and his crew against Filipino pirates. The ensuing gunfight, one of the most tonally stark and clumsily handled sequences of Anderson's career, is a rare sight, but it encapsulates the director's focus for such an action scene: the symbolism of the act—in this case the swell of Steve's courage—over real-life consequences or logic.
The creatures, created by stop-motion wizard Henry Selick, are an integral highlight of the film: the crayon pony fish, the Hermès eel (modeled after a Hermès scarf), and sugar crabs. They also add tremendously to the film's climax, as Steve and his crew finally confront the jaguar shark once more. The scene, scored to Sigur Ros' "Staralfur", is appropriately majestic, but according to Selick the actual process of pulling the shot off was incredibly trying.
"This thing, even though it was hollow, weighed about 90 or 100 pounds, so we had to build a special rig to support it," he said in an interview with Creative Planet. "We came up with a way to make it visible at a distance, with spots that glowed... that's definitely the big moment in the film, and it really pays off. It's surprisingly emotional and strong."
In Pursuit of That Spiritual "Thing" Across India - "The Darjeeling Limited" (2007)
If the prospect of shooting a film in India—with a foreign crew and many scenes set in bustling city centers and serene temples—wasn't daunting enough, "The Darjeeling Limited" also finds Anderson with one of his most elaborate and challenging creations: a fully functional train, carrying his trio of squabbling sibling characters across the sub-continent.
To pull this off, Anderson and head production designer Mark Friedberg called on Northwestern Railways to supply them with a locomotive and ten rail cars. Once secured, they decorated the exterior and interior with the inspiration of the New York-Chicago line 20th Century Limited, which ran from 1902 to 1967. Their creation, The Darjeeling Limited, in reality traveled from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer in the Thar Desert bordering Pakistan, and supplied the setting where eldest brother Francis (Owen Wilson) gathers his brothers Peter (Adrien Brody) and Jack (Jason Schwartzman) for a pre-planned spiritual journey.
Repeatedly throughout the film the word "thing" is used to signify a clue to a possible spiritual awakening; at different point all three brothers plan to "meet at that thing out there" or "do the thing". It doesn't matter if it's a peacock feather or the Temple of 1000 Bulls they're talking about—Anderson cleverly lines up these items on a laminated card for the trio to mistake consumerism, or consumption, for spirituality. In this case, the latter temple is very much a key stop, as upon arriving Francis comments on the its beauty. Of course, it's only a moment later that all three are shopping in nearby stalls for shoes, a power adapter, and pepper spray.
"Our approach with this movie was very much that whatever went wrong, we were going to make that part of our story," Anderson told The AV Club in a 2007 interview. "If the hut was brown, and we left for the evening, and when we came back, the hut was painted blue with flowers all over it because somebody thought that it would be a good idea, that's the way we were going to use it in the story… The bumps in the road can be so peculiar, and that was what we wanted the movie to be about."
Production Diary – Day 1: Temple of 1000 Bulls
The Simple Science of Whackbat - "Fantastic Mr. Fox" (2009)
"Well, it's real simple: basically, there's three grabbers, three taggers, five twig-runners, and the player at whack-bat. The center-tagger lights the pine-cone and chucks it over the basket, and the whack-batter tries to hit the cedar-stick off the cross-rock."
We've already delved into the many references, in-jokes, and allusions that populate the self-contained world of Anderson's first animated feature, but needless to say the film is a hilarious, intelligent blend of Roald Dahl's characters and settings with Anderson's own perspective on fatherhood and its many challenges.
Take even something as brief as the game of Whackbat, a dense, invented game mixing cricket, baseball and a hodgepodge of other sources. While the sequence ranks among the film's most humorous with its quick imagery and spirited narration by Coach Skip (Owen Wilson), it also acutely conveys Mr. Fox's once-reigning athletic prowess (having repeatedly won PS II Co-Ed All Species MVP of the Fox Year), and the futile attempts from his son Ash (Jason Schwartzman) to live up to it.
In creating the game, Anderson turned to animator Brad Schiff, a self-proclaimed sports nut on the crew, for help. Email exchanges between the two, chronicled in "The Making of Fantastic Mr. Fox" book, show the evolution of the game, as well as suggestions from Schiff on animating Ash's seemingly-perfect cousin Kristofferson (Eric Anderson) as he plays.
"He could twist as he jumps over taggers, like gymnasts do when they jump over the pommel horse or when they do floor exercises?" asks Schiff, and Anderson replies with certain narrative beats in which to place those physical moments. The director also references Walter Payton in Kristofferson's movements, and simply writes "PERFECT" to the suggestion of him yelling, "Divide that by nine, please" once "hotbox" is called. Even if none or all of that made sense, watch the full sequence below.

I'm terrible at recognizing celebrities. In fact, I stood next to Chevy Chase once without knowing it was him, and Clint Eastwood apparently walked by me at a rock after-party last year without me spotting him. But certain musicians -- well, that's a different story. So, random musician sightings so far:
Yesterday, while I was waiting in the New West line, Wayne from the Flaming Lips strolled by in a three-piece suit (his usual attire). A few minutes later, "Miss" Pamela Des Barres walked down the street. Her SXSW nametag/badge actually included the "miss" part, which made me wonder: when you've bedded pretty much every classic rocker of any note (and plenty of no note whatsoever), should you really be calling yourself "miss"?
During the brief amount of time I spent inside the New West thing, there was a guy who looked really familiar, and it finally hit me that he's Willie Nile, a musician I saw play at a Katrina benefit in New York last September.
Later, at the Signature Sounds showcase, Boston area singer-songwriter Mary Lou Lord wandered in and out a few times.
And I might have seen Chantal Claret from Morningwood walking down the street last night on my way to interview the Dresden Dolls.
I've also seen a few big-name music writers hanging around, including David Fricke from Rolling Stone, Jon Pareles from the NYTimes (who, for some reason, asked me why I wasn't on the indie panel, whatever that meant) and a chinless wonder from a major metro daily who shall remain nameless. Suffice to say he tucks his nametag in his shirt pocket, like he's too cool for the whole SXSW badge experience.

Sent to the principal's office
Friday, December 3, 2010
With smiles and greetings, the fourth-graders carrying their trays and notebooks through the St. Peter School office eagerly approached their principal, Joseph Gulino.
Pulled out of the regular lunchroom, and sometimes part of recess, to go to the principal's office each month might sound like a negative.
At St. Peter, it's a positive.
Jason Binkley, Maggie Winegar, Danika Giarratano and Daniel Rhea were selected by their classrooms as advisers.
Fourth- through eighthgrade classes send a boy and a girl representative to discuss concerns or suggest improvements with Gulino monthly.
"'From the mouths of babes — a phrase we all have heard, but might not really practice experiencing," Gulino noted. "I want to experience the wisdom of the students and all they have to offer, which is a great deal."
The experience grows leadership in these students, as they learn to conduct meetings within their classroom, take notes, represent their peers' interests and then report back on the results.

I don't really have a solution to offer, but I can tell you that it's completely normal. Unfortunately, just as they discover all their other senses, children will discover this sensation at some point, too. Embarrassingly enough, my daughter started this at about 8 months. Some doctors said she was "too young to really be 'getting anything out of it,'" but she's 19 months, now, and she STILL does it. From what I've read on-line, there's no sure fire method for curbing the activity except for re-direction, just like anything else. The best advice I can give is, try not to overreact. It IS embarrassing, but it's not horrific, and it's not a "bad" thing. You don't want to give her some kind of psychological complex further down the road by telling her that what she's doing is wrong, dirty, or bad. You may, however, want to talk to a child psychologist, or family physician if it really seems to be a problem. They may offer some better tips for redirection and prevention. Good luck!posted 02/03/2008 by izzysmama06
well im defenitely glad not to be alone on this one. she has been doing this for a week now. specially to go sleep. at first i thought she is soothing herself but then she started looking for the pillow!!! it freaks me out. crazy thoughts like, is she gonna be some sort of sex addict when she growns up??? i guess i will still call her doctor tomorrow... i will post again if i get anything more than its normal...posted 09/19/2008 by chelisjv
I know this topic is old but just came across it. My daughter is 19 months old and humps her pillow when ever she gets tired. It is completely normal don't worry.posted 07/01/2013 by danharris851

No need to be so freaked out my daughter did the exact same thing. Its normal! Whenever you daughter starts humping her twin sister that when you should pick her up. When she is humping her blankies or her stuffed animals you could try to distract her with a toy or something. Don't ever tell her not to do hump things or they will learn to be ashamed of their body. You can simply just ignore it. Telling them don't do that will make them want to do it more to get your attention. Later on when she is in kindergarden or first she might still have to problem. Than it will come a very big problem. Hope this will help you. Good luck!:)posted 11/07/2011 by taylorjblair1
my daughter is 3 and a half and started humping her stuffed animals and other stuff too. she only does it when no one is around and i only know she does coz i walked into the living room and she was humping a pillow. as soon as she seen me she quit and i freaked out and told her to quit. but then i googled it and baby center said it was totally normal. it is embarrasing and it just seems strange to me because she is only three. but at least she only does this in private. i do know that if you punish the child for it and tell her it is bad or dirty and she should never do it it will cause problems later on for her. it will cause alot of confusion when she is an adult. i dont really know what to do either to stop it except to hope she outgrows it but reading some of the replies to your question apparently it can take a long time.posted 06/16/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
My 20 month old daughter has been humping "her" pillow (used to be on the couch for all) since she's 6 months old! I'm told it's normal and that she'll grow out of it. Your answers have certainly calmed my nerves a bit more - thanks.posted 01/27/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
My 6 month old daughter started this a week ago. I didn't really get freaked out, embarrassed, or yell at her though. I held her still, turned her on her side so there was nothing to hump, rubbed her back and hair, and sang her to sleep. Then I called my Grandma (mom of 7 Gram of 19) and asked if this was bizarre. She said it wasn't, that my mom did it, and so did I. I obviously grew out of it before I could remember or connect anything to what it was. I'm sure it's a comfort thing. If I leave my daughter to herself instead of rolling her over and comforting her to sleep she falls asleep on her own. For mom's that it bothers I suggest you find something else to comfort your baby.posted 12/06/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I dont have an answer but i'm experiencing the same with my 4 year old daughter. She's never walked in on my husband and me, so I don't know where she's getting this from. Any advise is appreciated.posted 10/16/2007 by Msfitz512
My 4.5 year old son was doing this quite a bit. Everyone I have spoken with says it is normal. Here is the best advice that I received: When you find them doing it say "oh it looks like you need some private time" and then send them off to their bedroom. My son does it much less now but at least he now goes to his room and understands that we don't do it in front of people. I also knock on his door before I go in and he does the same for us.posted 07/16/2008 by a BabyCenter Member

Aside from a few spotty showers across the western Big Country Monday morning, this area missed out again on rainfall. More clouds in store for Tuesday, even some light showers possible, but more than anything, cool temperatures. From the upper 40's Tuesday morning to the low 60's Tuesday afternoon. By Wednesday morning we could see temperatures close to 40 degrees which would be near record cool for mid-May. Wednesday afternoon temperatures will climb back to the low 70's, into the 80's Thurday, 90 Friday and low to middle 90's this weekend.

2011 RoughRiders' Awards
The first round of off-season awards are beginning to come in for the RoughRiders. Yesterday we talked about Jurickson Profar being named Low-A Player of the Year by Baseball America, and while the 'Riders don't have anything of quite that prestigious, there are certainly some awards of note.
Best Texas League Visiting Clubhouse
We all know there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes in minor league baseball, but there might not be a pair of guys that work harder than C.J. Allen and Philip Fleitman, the 'Riders Clubhouse Managers. Thanks to their efforts, the RoughRiders won Best Texas Visiting Clubhouse for the second-straight season. These are the two guys that make sure both teams are fed both before and after all home games, do all the laundry, and a LOT more. Congrats to C.J. and Philip. Here's a pic of the two of them taking some batting practice after the season was over. I'm pretty sure photo credit goes to 'Riders lefty, Corey Young.
Best Cheap Seats in Dallas
The Dallas Observer recently announced it's 2011 "Best of" awards, and the RoughRiders won the award for "Best Cheap Seats" in Dallas. They loved how inexpensive our tickets were compared to the local competition (Rangers, Cowboys, Mavs, etc.), and they really loved the swimming pool!
2011 Double-A MiLB Team of the Year
The 'Riders need your help to win this one. Click here to vote for the 'Riders as the 2011 Double-A MiLB Team of the Year. The other teams nominated are San Antonio, Harrisburg, Mobile, New Hampshire, and Tennessee. Interestingly enough there are two other Rangers' affiliates that have been nominated for "Team of the Year" in their respective class. You can vote for Triple-A Round Rock who finished with the all-time best record for a Rangers' Triple-A affiliate (87-57). You can also vote for the Hickory Crawdads for the best Low-A team in 2011. The 'Dads finished the year tied for the most wins in the South Atlantic League (79-58).
Profar Named Low-A Player of the Year
You know a player is good when he plays two levels below the team you cover and there's a steady buzz about him all season long. That's the case with Hickory shortstop Jurickson Profar.
It was announced today that the 18-year-old was named the Low-A Player of the Year by Baseball America after hitting .286 with 12 home runs and 65 runs batted in. At such a young age, it's impressive to note that Profar walked 65 times compared to striking out 63 times. If you take a look at the 'Riders during the 2011 season, there wasn't a single Frisco hitter with even 150 at-bats that had more walks than strikeouts. The only guy who came close was Leonys Martin who walked 15 times compared to eight K's in 135 at bats.
Defensively, Profar impressed as well. In 114 games, all at shortstop, he committed just 22 errors giving him a .955 fielding percentage. If you take a look at Elvis Andrus when he was 18-year-old and playing in the minors, the now Rangers' shortstop had a combined .949 fielding percentage at the High-A level (Myrtle Beach and Bakersfield).
Think about that for a second. We're all impressed that Profar played as well as he did in Low-A at 18, but Andrus played at a level higher at the same age. To be completely fair about the comparison (not that this is a fool-proof form of judgement), Elvis managed a .938 fielding percentage in Low-A Rome in the Braves' system at the young age of 17.
I've been surprised countless times, but I'd have to imagine that Profar opens up 2012 with High-A Myrtle Beach, which of course means that there's a chance he makes his way to Frisco late in the season. I don't think it would shock anyone if he stayed in the Carolina League for all of next year, but you never know what can happen.
No matter where he plays, it will be a long way from home. The switch-hitter is from Willemstad, Curacao – a tiny little island off the northern coast of Brazil. A population of slightly over 140,000, Curacao was put on the map during the 2004 Little League Baseball World Series by who else but Profar.
11-years-old at the time, Profar was the top statistical pitcher in the '04 World Series when he went 2-0 with one save over 12.1 innings while striking out 19 studly kids. He batted .313 (5-for-16) with one double, five runs batted in, a run scored, and two strikeouts.
He also played in the 2005 Little League Baseball World Series and posted the third-highest tournament batting average of .389 (7-for-18) to go along with five runs scored and two runs batted in. On the mound he went 1-0, 1.85 ERA over 13 innings with 26 strikeouts.
And have I mentioned that he speaks four languages? Should be fun to watch Profar in Frisco … someday.

RoughRiders Clinch Playoff Berth
For the sixth time in the franchise's nine-year history, the RoughRiders have qualified for the Texas League playoffs.
San Antonio defeated Midland 8-2 tonight to officially clinch the second-half South Division title. Because the Missions also finished at the top of the South in the first half, the 'Riders earned a wild card berth because they will finish second in the overall division standings.
The 'Riders and Missions will meet in the divisional round of the Texas League playoffs, which is a best-of-five series beginning Wednesday, September 7. Game 3 and, if necessary, Game 4 will be at Dr Pepper Ballpark Friday, September 9 and Saturday, September 10.
Frisco is 17-14 during five other trips to the postseason, which includes the RoughRiders' 2004 Texas League championship.
San Antonio won the season series with a 19-13 mark against the 'Riders this season. Frisco managed a split in the 16 games played between the two squads at Dr Pepper Ballpark.
The RoughRiders become the fifth Rangers affiliate to earn a postseason spot here in 2011. Triple-A Round Rock won its division for the first time since 2006. High-A Myrtle Beach and Low-A Hickory claimed first-half titles. The AZL Rangers earned a division crown, too.
Short-season Spokane, the only club in the Rangers' minor league system that has not guaranteed a playoff berth, entered play tonight tied for the wild card spot in the Northwest League's East. Overall, Texas' farm system owns the best record in baseball (412-319; .564 winning percentage).

A Banner Year for the Rangers' Farm
If the season ended today, every team within the Rangers' minor league system–from Arlington to Surprise–would make the postseason. As a result, it isn't surprising that the Rangers' farm clubs have the best combined record in all of baseball (394-303; .565 winning percentage).
Let's take a look at these teams' successes in the regular season and likely journeys in the playoffs.
Texas Rangers (74-56; 3.5 game lead in the A.L. West)
BIGGEST CHALLENGE: The Los Angeles Angels, who have won five in a row to pull within three and a half games. The Rangers and Angels meet this weekend in Arlington.
LIKELY PLAYOFF OPPONENT: With the American League wild card likely going to the second-place team in the East, the Rangers will get either the Yankees or the Red Sox. The two teams are tied for first in the division. New York has the better offense, while Boston has the better pitching staff, so it is a "pick-em" situation.
FUN FACT: The Rangers have shut out their opponent 15 times this year, which is good for 11% of the Rangers' games.
Round Rock Express (79-52; 14.0 game lead in the PCL's American Southern)
BIGGEST CHALLENGE: Getting to playoff baseball healthy and intact. The Express clinched its first division title since 2006 last night after a win over New Orleans and an Albuquerque loss to Memphis.
LIKELY PLAYOFF OPPONENT: The two American Conference division winners will square off in a best-of-five semifinal series. Entering play Wednesday, the Omaha Storm Chasers lead that division, with the Memphis Redbirds four games back. The Express is 9-3 against Omaha in 2011.
FUN FACT: Round Rock joined Columbus (81-51) as the earliest playoff qualifiers at the Triple-A level. Both clubs clinched last night.
Frisco RoughRiders (70-57/30-27; 14.0 game lead in TL's South wild card)
BIGGEST CHALLENGE: Rooting for the first-place San Antonio Missions. Frisco's magic number to clinch the wild card spot is also San Antonio's magic number to clinch the second-half title. Only Midland (eight games back) can prevent the 'Riders from going to the postseason for the fifth time in franchise history, and it would take a miracle for that to happen.
LIKELY PLAYOFF OPPONENT: As discussed yesterday, it will be the Missions, who own the best record in full-season minor league baseball (86-41). The 'Riders are 11-18 against San Antonio this year.
FUN FACT: The 'Riders have now won 70 or more games in eight of the nine seasons as a franchise. Frisco is the only Texas League team with at least 70 wins every year since 2006.
Myrtle Beach Pelicans (67-59/27-30; first-half champion in CL's Southern)
BIGGEST CHALLENGE: Turning things around after a stellar first half. The Pelicans are three games below .500 in the second half, which puts them four games back of first place. Fortunately, a key piece is back in action–Mike Olt is back from his broken collarbone, and he is 4-for-10 with four RBIs in three games.
LIKELY PLAYOFF OPPONENT: Kinston currently leads the second half at 31-26, a game and a half better than Winston-Salem. It will go down to the wire, but Kinston is the sentimental favorite because the franchise is moving after the 2011 season.
FUN FACT: According to the Pelicans' web site, Myrtle Beach owns a walk-off win against every Carolina League team this season.
Hickory Crawdads (71-52/31-24; first-half champion in SAL's Northern)
BIGGEST CHALLENGE: The Kannapolis Intimidators, who currently lead the second-half standings. It is looking like a Kannapolis-Hickory semifinal series in the South Atlantic League.
LIKELY PLAYOFF OPPONENT: Well, the Intimidators. So far this season, the 'Dads are 10-5 against Kannapolis.
FUN FACT: The Crawdads beat Stephen Strasburg and the Hagerstown Suns Monday. It was just the third minor league loss in Strasburg's career.
Spokane Indians (32-34/12-16; 3.0 game lead in NWL's East wild card)
BIGGEST CHALLENGE: The Boise Hawks, who trail the Indians by three games in the wild card standings. The Indians finish with five at Eugene and three at home against Everett.
LIKELY PLAYOFF OPPONENT: The Tri-City Dust Devils, who have led this division most of the season. Tri-City is tied with Eugene for the best overall mark in the Northwest League at 39-27.
FUN FACT: Spokane leads the NWL in attendance with an average of 4,828 fans per game.
Surprise Rangers (33-18; champion in AZL West)
BIGGEST CHALLENGE: At this point, nothing other than waking up early for baseball in warm temperatures out there in Arizona.
LIKELY PLAYOFF OPPONENT: The AZL Rangers have the second best record in the league, which means they will likely face the worst division winner. At this point, that is the AZL Dodgers.
FUN FACT: Five players who have played in at least 27 games have a batting average above .300.

With Manchester United facing a titanic clash with their fierce rivals this weekend all the talk is about whether David Moyes's men can pip Liverpool to fourth place. With an eleven point gap and just ten games to go Manchester United's chances of finishing fourth appear slim and they simply must defeat Liverpool this weekend to retain any hope.
But, even though Manchester United can directly affect Liverpool this Saturday, we believe that Arsenal will turn out to be the club most likely to be caught.
Arsenal aren't exactly in a rut themselves – a 4-1 defeat of Everton in the cup over the weekend proves that they are in fine fettle – but the form of Liverpool is such that they will be looking up not down from now until May.
With City humiliated at the weekend and Chelsea winning without excelling, it's Liverpool who are playing the most convincing football right now. Points wise they still have ground to make up but they are easily the best team on form. Liverpool are playing theer best football in years under Brendan Rodgers.
Liverpool still have to play Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United in their remaining ten games – but, of those, only the United game is away from home.
As for Arsenal, they have Chelsea, Everton and Tottenham away and Manchester City at The Emirates. With two more games planned in The FA Cup and at least one more in Europe, they also have a heavier workload between now and May. Both Liverpool and Arsenal sit on 59 points in the title race.
So, we believe that, while the chance of a top four finish remains very slim for Manchester United, they are more likely to catch Arsenal this season than Liverpool.

COOPER CITY, Florida -- July 15, 2012
A Broward County Sheriff's Office deputy has been arrested on charges of battery, falsifying records and official misconduct.
An investigation into a December 2010 arrest found deputy Gerald Wengert falsified an incident report and intentionally struck then 17-year-old Mark Visconti, causing bodily harm.
According to the warrant for his arrest, Wengert rushed to stop Visconti after receiving a call from his girlfriend, who was angry about the way the teenager was driving.
He allegedly yanked Visconti out of his car, punched him several times and released his police dog on him. Visconti sustained injuries to his face and legs that required medical attention.
An investigation revealed Wengert had not seen Visconti drive in reverse and almost hit another car, even though he described seeing that in Visconti's arrest report.

Not since DoesItBehooveU dominated the horse racing world in the 1840s, has a horse won such acclaim before even stepping onto a track.
The fashionable pick by the experts in the 2007 Kentucky Derby has been WhatsAmatteru. The 3-year old Philly has never won a race and just two months ago was used as a tour horse in New York City's Central Park.
The Philly's speed attracted attention when the philly tracked down a robber on a busy Sunday morning. After the NYC Mayor Bloomberg honored the horse by retiring her to a more tranquil life in eastern Long Island, WhatsamatterU began galloping recreationally with deers and rabbits.
Soon the lightning-quick speed garnered the attention of neighbors who tried racing their cars against the philly. It is believed that the philly even outran a Ford Mustang.
We will find out if the horse can live up to expectations come Saturday.

Sheriff's deputies are investigating an armed robbery at a convenience store over the weekend.
The suspect reportedly walked into the Loaf N Jug at 6695 Galley Rd. in Cimarron Hills around 7:40 p.m. Sunday. Deputies say he aimed his gun at the clerk before taking an unknown amount of money and fleeing the scene. The clerk was unharmed.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office describe the suspect as a white male, 5-foot-10 with a heavy build, wearing a blue beanie, jeans and a black winter coat with blue stripes. He is believed to have left the scene in a newer-model light brown SUV, possibly a Toyota 4-Runner.

|Iowa Politics Roundup: IASB Board Fires Executive Director Over Scandal
|Commentary/Politics - Iowa Politics
|Written by Lynn Campbell
|Friday, 26 March 2010 13:35
The Iowa Association of School Boards (IASB) announced the termination of Executive Director Maxine Kilcrease, while the Legislative Council voted to authorize the legislature's government-oversight committees to meet jointly during the 2010 interim to conduct an investigation, issue subpoenas, and take other actions relating to the IASB.
IASB Board President Russ Wiesley said the board voted Thursday to terminate Kilcrease's employment, citing her decision to request and accept a salary increase of more than $100,000 without board approval. The board said Kilcrease also gave raises to several employees at the same time other employees were being terminated for financial reasons; prevented the IASB's auditing firm from providing information to the board; and directed an attorney to threaten the firm.
"We believe this to be in the best interest of the association," Wiesley said. "As a board we feel we were misled and blocked from information, and it has caused a huge amount of distress for this critical Iowa organization we so deeply care about."
Kilcrease also failed to utilize competitive bidding for projects over $10,000 and failed to obtain board approval for projects more than $75,000 by breaking them into smaller projects, Wiesley said.
Kilcrease has so far refused to cooperate with an investigation or appear before the government-oversight committees. Wiesley said the Polk County attorney, the Des Moines police, the attorney general, the departments of education at the state and federal level, the office of U.S. Senator Tom Harkin, the IRS, and the FBI have all contacted IASB.
A preliminary audit has shown the IASB will be in the black for 2009, and Wiesley said the group has voted to cut membership dues by 5 percent this year. Legal counsel Nolden Gentry said the group will be asking Kilcrease to pay back a sum in the neighborhood of $50,000.
"We share your anger at this situation," Bill Morain, treasurer of the board, told the legislature's Government Oversight Committee earlier in the week. "Anger because people we trusted with the management of our 64-year-old service organization let us down and erected such a barrier to information that it took months of painful disentanglement to tear down this wall. Looking back, we recognize that we could have exercised greater oversight during the transition between management teams. But none of us could have envisioned that such an appalling level of misconduct was even a remote possibility."
Morain explained that both Kilcrease and former Chief Financial Officer Kevin Schick came to the board highly recommended during the search process.
"While Dr. Kilcrease quickly assumed an uncommon level of autonomy in her leadership style, we accepted the matter with a deference we would have afforded to any new chief executive," Morain said. "In turn, Mr. Schick portrayed his numerous prior corporate leadership roles as valuable assets in assisting with our less-robust financial position. Both brought sharp new directions to the organization."
Morain called it devastating that these two executives broke the board's trust. "We did not have a credit-card policy," he said. "We had gone for two decades without a credit-card policy because everyone understands what the rules are with credit cards."
But Senator Rich Olive (D-Story City) said there's also a frustration among lawmakers: "Even though the board may not have been aware of some of these problems, a number of us feel the board should have been aware and taken steps earlier."
Legacy of the 2010 Session: Government Reorganization or $1-Billion Deficit?
The Iowa legislature is expected to adjourn this weekend with Democrats hailing passage of what they say is the largest government reorganization in history, and Republicans decrying what they say will be 2,500 pink slips for teachers, an increase in property taxes, and a $1-billion deficit next year.
"It has been no doubt the most challenging fiscal time that most of us in this body have even been alive to see," said Representative Jo Oldson (D-Des Moines), chair of the House Appropriations Committee, noting that budget chairs did everything they could to protect priorities such as education and health care.
"We can all feel good about the fact that we are going to leave here having reduced state-government spending and made further efficiencies in the way that we operate state government," Oldson said. "That we will have a balanced budget, that we will still have money in our savings account, ... and that we will have continued and will continue to be committed to educating our kids."
The Iowa House on Thursday wrapped up a two-day debate of the $2.7-billion catchall cleanup standings bill, which contains the all-important $2.5 billion in state aid for K-12 schools and has traditionally been the last bill debated by lawmakers before they go home for the year. The bill moved to the Senate for further debate.
Republicans said the state budget produced by Democrats that's moving through the legislature would commit the state to more than $1 billion in built-in expenditures without a funding mechanism.
"What have we done?" asked Representative Rod Roberts (R-Carroll), one of three Republican candidates for governor. "High expectations, missed opportunities, and the problem as large now as it was in January. People in Iowa are going to be dismayed."
Representative Elesha Gayman (D-Davenport), an assistant House majority leader, confirmed Thursday on the House floor that the standings budget bill underfunds K-12 education by $167 million, shorts the homestead property tax credit by $11.6 million, shorts the ag land tax credit by $2.2 million, and shorts the mental-health property-tax relief fund by $13.8 million.
"By my math, that adds up to $194.6 million," said Representative Chris Rants (R-Sioux City). "Today, you're making the decision to raise property taxes in this state by $194 million."
The landmark bill of the session came several weeks before adjournment: A government-reorganization bill estimated to save state and local governments $126 million, or $270 million when combined with early retirement and an executive order. The bill consolidates agencies, eliminates 14 different boards and commissions, reduces energy costs, combines state purchasing, requires a span of control of one manager per 15 employees by 2011 (which some say will cut down on middle management), and consolidates information technology.
Legislature Considers I-JOBS Sequel for Public Construction Projects
Under a 77-page RIIF budget bill released Friday, the Iowa legislature would create an I-JOBS II program for public construction projects relating to disaster prevention, would change the bonds authorized last year from appropriations bonds to revenue bonds, and would increase the amount of net proceeds from $105 million to $150 million by using money from the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund. This would bring I-JOBS to a total of $875 million over two years.
Senate Minority Leader Paul McKinley (R-Chariton) condemned Governor Chet Culver's plan to plow an additional $150 million -- including $45 million from the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund -- into I-JOBS, which McKinley called a "failed temporary work debt scheme."
"A year ago, Governor Culver promised Iowans that his I-JOBS plan would create 30,000 new jobs, but since that time, Iowa has actually lost over 30,000 jobs. If the goal was to create jobs, Governor Culver's plan has been a colossal failure," McKinley said in a news release. "All we get from Governor Culver is more unacceptable spending, more debt, and more Iowans out of work."
The infrastructure budget is the last budget bill to be released. It allocates $33.6 million for targeted disaster relief and rebuilding, flood mitigation, and construction projects, many which had applied for funding but were deferred. It also allocates $30 million to the I-JOBS board for a new Disaster Prevention Smart Planning Local Grant Program, under the I-JOBS II Program.
The bill instructs the Department of Administrative Services to conduct a cost/benefit analysis of using existing office space for state employees in downtown Des Moines and other areas in close proximity to the state Capitol Complex, in lieu of replacing or renovating the Wallace State Office Building and prior to leasing any space in the Mercy Capitol hospital building. The report to the legislature would be due January 14, 2011.
Debate on the bill is likely to include talk of leasing or selling the Iowa Communications Network (ICN). It includes $2.7 million for maintenance and lease costs associated with connections for Part III of the ICN, and $2.2 million for replacement of equipment for the ICN, an increase of $33,000 from this year.
The bill reduces money to the Grow Iowa Values Fund from $50 million to $38 million. It keeps the $47.5-million allocation to expand the Iowa correctional facility for women at Mitchellville and $130.7 million to build a new Iowa State Penitentiary at Fort Madison, but now says that can include costs related to project management. These are the first two projects to be covered under project labor agreements following an executive order by Culver. The Department of Corrections will receive a total of $2.5 million for prison-construction management for the two projects.
Obama Revisits Campaign Themes in Return to Iowa
Almost three years after first promising to reform health care during a campaign stop on the University of Iowa campus, President Barack Obama returned to Iowa City Thursday to start the work of selling a new and narrowly passed health-care-reform law to the American people.
"Today, health-insurance reform is the law of the land," Obama said. "It was because of you. This is the place where change began. ... From this day forward, all of the cynics and all of the naysayers will have to deal with what this bill is and what this bill isn't."
During his speech, Obama chided the Republicans for some apocalyptic rhetoric, and challenged them to make good on their threats to run on repealing the bill, arguing that once the American people realize the benefits of the bill, it will be much harder to demonize the legislation.
"My attitude is: Go for it," Obama said. "I don't believe the American people are going to put the insurance companies back into the driver's seat. We've already had that."
The president said some benefits in the bill include a tax credit to small businesses to help them pay employee health insurance, the prohibition of dropping patients from coverage due to illness or denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions, and the extension of the age dependent children can be covered by their parents' health care insurance to 26.
After the speech, a small group of roughly 25 protesters stood facing the departing crowd, holding signs with slogans such as "Taxed Enough Already" and "Don't Tread on Me."
Two of these protesters were John Hulsizer Jr. and his wife Amy, both of Dubuque. The pair of armed-service veterans came to protest with a few of their children for various reasons, including longstanding frustration with the care provided by the government-run health program for veterans.
"They can't run that system as it is, and now they want to stick their hands into the private sector. They're wrong." John Hulsizer Jr. said.
Opponents Rally in Advance of Obama Visit
About 250 Republicans and Tea Party activists rallied at the University of Iowa in protest of federal health-care reform on the eve of Obama's visit.
"We're here to stand up in one voice and say, 'No more, Mr. President, not without a fight,'" said GOP Second Congressional District candidate Christopher Reed of Marion, likening the backlash against health-care reform to the emotions Americans felt following the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. "Now our government is usurping the Constitution. We have to stand up and say, 'You have awoken a sleeping giant.'"
The crowd booed as speakers mentioned prominent Democrats who orchestrated passage of health-care reform that was signed into law on Tuesday. Protesters shouted "Tyranny!" and "Resist!" throughout the 90-minute event. But the crowd remained peaceful despite the frustration and anger expressed in the rhetoric.
"I would like to hear him [Obama] say logic rather than rhetoric, and explain how this really affects Americans," said Micah Doty, an uninsured woman from Williamsberg who described herself as a Libertarian. "We have no control over our home anymore, and I want to know why he thinks he has a right to usurp that power. I feel my future has been taken away from me."
Protesters and speakers echoed the rally's themes of "taking the country back" and "individual freedom" in opposing both the nationwide scope of the bill and the mandate on individuals to have insurance.
"What happened on Sunday [in the U.S. Senate] was touted as a victory. It was a victory over we the American people, a victory over our right of self-determination and our right to create our own destiny," said Republican Second Congressional District candidate Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Ottumwa. "In 10 years, the private health insurance companies will fail. When they fail, they will cry 'Uncle Sam' and the government will step in."
U.S. Representative Mike Pence (R-Indiana), the third-ranking Republican in the U.S. House, addressed the Iowa crowd via Skype and said the bill involved "job-killing taxes" and allowed the government to take over the health-care system. "This fight is not over," he said. "We can reform health care without putting our country on a path toward socialism."
Iowa Dems Praise Medicare Changes as House Passes Final Piece of Reform Puzzle
While Obama was in Iowa to make his case for the new health-care-reform law, Congress was closing out an acrimonious, yearlong debate on the matter, as the Senate approved final passage of a fix-it legislative package and the House followed suit several hours after Obama's visit.
The reconciliation package, as it's better known, was approved by the U.S. House on a strict party-line vote Sunday night. But on Thursday, Senate Republicans were successful at sustaining two budget points of order against the legislation. The narrow rules governing reconciliation bills, which only need 51 votes to pass rather than the 60 necessary to stop a filibuster, require that all provisions have a direct impact on the deficit.
The two provisions challenged by Senate Republicans were stricken from the bill, forcing the House to re-vote on the measure Thursday evening. Meanwhile, the Senate approved the reconciliation package along party lines, with three Democrats defecting to vote with the Republicans: Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas.
On Thursday night, in the final health-care-reform vote for this package, the House voted 220-207 to pass the slightly modified reconciliation bill. After the vote, Democratic U.S. Representatives from Iowa Bruce Braley and Dave Loebsack praised Medicare-reimbursement changes that they worked to include in the bill.
"Under the fixes secured in this package, Iowa doctors and hospitals would finally be rewarded for their excellent care," Loebsack said. "This change to the Medicare payment system is the right thing to do, and I am proud that I was able to help Iowa patients and America's taxpayers finally get a fair deal."
Earlier, following Senate passage of the reconciliation package, Senate Democrats took a victory lap of their own, praising the new law as fundamental reform that would lower costs, improve public health, and increase access to care. U.S. Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), chair of the Health, Education, Labor, & Pensions Committee, was ecstatic. Harkin has pushed for this kind of health-care overhaul for years and played a key role in the negotiations during the past year.
"The legislation passed by Congress this week looks to the future and means big things for Iowa's working families," Harkin said. "Comprehensive health reform eliminates the practice of denying coverage because of a pre-existing condition, lets kids stay on their parents' insurance until age 26, provides tax relief for small businesses, and provides a historic investment in prevention and wellness to change our current 'sick-care system' into genuine health care."
Prior to the final vote Thursday, the Senate debated and voted down scores of GOP amendments.
U.S. Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) was on the losing end of those amendment defeats.
Grassley, the top Republican on the Finance Committee and a crucial player in the health-care fight, signaled that he was not giving up, as on Thursday afternoon he proposed a bill to ensure that the new health-care law applied to the president, the vice president, cabinet members, top White House staff, and the congressional staff who drafted the law.
Grassley had proposed this legislation as an amendment to the reconciliation package, but it was defeated.
"As a result," Grassley said, "President Obama will not have to live under the Obama health-care reforms, and neither will the congressional staff who helped to write the overhaul. The message to the people at the grassroots is that it's good enough for you, but not for us."
Obama's office says he will participate once the health-insurance exchange outlined in the reform package is set up in 2014.

WHat is the smallest tank to raise feeder snails?
I know is she crazy? I was thinking about throwing a common water snail or 2 in a small tank to raise food for my loach. I had a huge break out(100+ unintentionally) when I first started with plants in my 20gal and purchased a loach because hand removal was taxing and I couldn't keep up. I recently started to give frozen blood worms and brine shrimp since there are only a couple snails left. He will munch on shrimp pellets and algae wafers but really prefers the fresh stuff. I'm trying to get away from the freeze dried stuff because no-one in either tank really likes it, if it is the only thing given at the meal they will eat it though.
Petsmart had some 1gal and 2 gal tanks today on clearance. I resisted the urge to look at the price. Would this be too small? I don't plan on a heater snails wouldn't need it, probably no gravel, no plants just veggies.
Would I have to have a filter if I did a partial water change every couple of days? If it comes with one I will use it.
I figure I could throw excess snails in the birdbath outside for the birds.
Well it really depends on how many you want to keep. My personal recomendation would be a 10 gallon or maybe a 5 gallon with a small filter for cleaning and circulation. Snails can pollute a tank in high enough numbers and will die off almost completely in a short time. I think that setting up a tank to do so is a great idea and I actually raised Colombian Ramshorns for a while for sell and for my loaches. I now keep a small number or pond ramshorns to feed the loaches.
The best foods I have found for the snails is veggies. Cucumber and zucchini and Romaine or leaf lettuce will give you a lot of snails in a short time. A 10 gallon would be a nice setup with a heater and maybe even a coule fish if you have room. No reason to skimp for the snails and not have something to watch.
without the need for presentation a plastic tub would work
Excellent idea Daisy. If it is not an issue of wanting it to look formal and to just raise the snails a plastic container is perfect. So ofter we think that it has to be an "aquarium" when it doesn't. Even a 5 gallon bucket would work although for that matter.

Inbox clutter has made it seem harder than ever for email marketers to convey compelling marketing messages to even their opted-in subscribers. But at the same time, the popularity of social sharing has helped some messages circulate far beyond their initial audience.
According to Q4 2011 research from email marketing software provider Emailvision, more than a third of email marketers around the world said email promotions that included a discount got more shares than any other type of campaign. Humorous marketing emails ran a relatively distant second, with just under 21% of marketers saying these emails got the most shares. And email campaigns with direct incentives for sharing showed no higher success rate in terms of shares than email announcements with new information but no sharing incentive.
Respondents unsurprisingly named Facebook and Twitter as the two most important social networking sites for their brand, and a plurality considered building brand awareness to be their top objective for social media marketing.
This suggests that email "share with a friend" programs are not necessarily aimed at directly growing subscriber lists or persuading new prospects to opt in—just 7.4% of respondents said the primary purpose of their social marketing was to get new names for their database. Instead, email marketers are hoping that passed-along emails and other content shared through social channels will help build awareness or reputation, and, conveniently, the messages most likely to accomplish these goals are the ones with deals and promotions that should also help marketers increase sales and gain new customers.

Heidelberg University graduating seniors will have a rare opportunity to hear from a member of the famed Tuskegee Airmen when Lt. Col. Harold H. Brown, USAF (retired) delivers the commencement address on May 12.
The Board of Trustees approved the slate of speakers for undergraduate and graduate commencement and baccalaureate services during its meeting in late February.
Brown has a distinguished military career as a member of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African American military aviators to serve in the U.S. armed forces. A Minneapolis native, he fell in love with flying as a young boy. Following military flight training, he became a single engine pilot and second lieutenant.
Brown joined the 332nd Fighter Group and completed 30 missions before being shot down and held as a POW in Germany during World War II. He returned home in June 1945 and remained on active duty for 23 years, serving in Japan and Korea (1950-53), the training command (1954-56) and finally, the Strategic Air Command until his retirement in 1965. As a command pilot, he flew in 20 different aircraft during his career.
Following his retirement from the military, Brown embarked upon a career in higher education. He received master's and doctoral degrees and rose through the ranks at Columbus State Community College, serving as a faculty member, department chair and dean of the Engineering Division. He spent his last 12 years at CSCC as vice president of Academic Affairs, during which time the college's enrollment grew from 67 to 13,000 students. Today, Brown serves as a part-time consultant for the State of Ohio Board of Career Colleges and Schools.
Giving remarks at graduate commencement on May 11 will be Dr. William Rayburn, co-founder, CEO and board chair of FNC Inc., a pioneering mortgage technology company whose clients include some of the largest mortgage lenders and industry-leading appraisal management companies. Prior to establishing FNC, Rayburn co-founded two other successful ventures, a residential real estate development company and a seminar and training company.
He also served on the University of Mississippi faculty for 12 years. He is active in philanthropy and on the speaker circuit.
Heidelberg will welcome the Rev. Dr. David Mark Greenhaw, president and professor of preaching and worship at Eden Theological Seminary as the baccalaureate speaker on May 12. An ordained minister of the UCC, Greenhaw has served congregations in New York, New Jersey, Tennessee and Missouri. Although busy with administrative matters, teaching and preaching remain his passions. He has taught courses in homiletics (the art of writing and preaching sermons) and liturgics, and has published extensively in those areas.

September 24, 2012 — Since the Luce Scholars program—the signature program of the Henry Luce Foundation—was launched in 1974, The Asia Foundation has administered this major effort to provide an awareness of Asia among future leaders in American society. The Luce Scholars Program remains unique among American-Asian exchanges in that it is intended for young leaders who have had limited experience of Asia and who might not otherwise have an opportunity in the course of their careers to come to know Asia. The heart of the year-long program continues to lie in the organizational placements arranged by The Asia Foundation for each Scholar on the basis of their individual career interests and experience, and our advising and assisting them throughout the year. The range of organizations that have hosted Luce Scholars over the years reflects the extraordinary dynamism and rich diversity of Asia, the broad reach and depth of The Asia Foundation network, and the unique scope of talents and interests of the Scholars themselves.
Since 1974, over 600 Luce Scholars have completed their year-long fellowships, and have gone on to demonstrate extraordinary leadership in their personal and professional careers. This year's 18 Luce Scholars, the 39th class, are spending their year working on assignments in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Laos, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Meet the Scholars here.
