To a man, the Baltimore Ravens see the Patriots as soft sissies, who run a "gimmick offense"...and who cheated their way to the top. You see, their players never heard an excuse that they didn't like.
Let them go right on, spouting off. The Patriots are well aware of their "opinions". Please Buzzards...keep the trash talk coming: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/14/ravens-ayanbadejo-rips-patriots-for-spygate-gimmick-offense/

Exceptionally made. These gloves look and fit great. The materials used are perfect and theyre padded and/or reinforced in all the right places. They provide warm and yet allow dexterity. Fit well around the wrist and the velcro closure actually stays closed. Theyre affordable too.

These gloves definitely have grip. Theyre warm and not bulky feeling at all. They stay on quite well too, in fact, you might say...they fit like a glove (should)!! Theyre also very affordable especially given the quality.

They fit well even if you have wide feet like we do. The zipper works surprisingly well. They do a great job at not allowing particles to penetrate and actually keeping your feet feeling somewhat dry (if you know what Im trying to say). And, because of their soles, they are very comfortable to walk around in no matter what the conditions. I originally got these for my husband. He liked them so well that I ended up getting myself a pair too. Id also like to mention they are very reasonably priced especially considering their quality.

When I decided to go to the University of Oregon for graduate school in 2005 I was like, "Those hippies are going to be bummed when I remind them of the UC basketball team beating down the No. 5 Ducks in 2002." (There were also feelings of, "Goddang UC givin' me an English degree that ain't worth nuthin'…")
But before I could even get out there and wear my Jason Maxiell jersey on Oregon's lovely campus (those dudes have about 1,284 bike racks, for reals), Bob Huggins had been let go and my confidence in UC's 2007 National Championship plans (the pending recruiting class was going to be ridiculous) were shattered. Even worse, this scary guy named Ivan Johnson backed out of his commitment to UC, and guess what school he went to? Freakin Oregon.
This year's free agent market has been extremely slow in developing, and there are still big-name guys waiting to find out where they fit in. The opportunity is ripe for a team like the Reds, with a little cash to spend, to find a rare deal. But the Reds are a weird team right now, and it's been difficult to figure out what would be a good move, even if it comes for less than market value.
Anyone who misses the days of Eric "The Helicopter" Hicks jamming on people's heads for the University of Cincinnati basketball team will have a chance to see Hicks suit up for another local team later this month, but this time he'll be playing football.
Hicks signed a one-day contract to play in the Cincinnati Commandos game against the Marion Blue Racers on April 28. He'll be in town practicing with the United Indoor Football League team during the next couple of weeks. He calls it his "OchoCinco moment."
Although he never played in the NBA, Hicks has been a professional basketball player since leaving UC after his senior season in 2006. Hicks has been a very good player in several European leagues, having played on championship and All-Star teams in such countries as Belgium, Poland, Russia, Israel, China and Spain.
Several notable NFL players had college basketball experience, including tight ends Antonio Gates, Jimmie Graham and Rob Gronkowski. Hicks, who is 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds, hasn't played football since his sophomore year of high school in North Carolina. Although he doesn't expect to end up in the NFL any time soon, Commandos coach Billy Back says his size and athleticism could be real advantages in this league.
"He's an all-time fan favorite Bearcat and one of my favorites as well," Back said. "He's an athlete, and we can use his height to our advantage."
Hicks plans to return to Europe soon to resume his basketball career, but said in a release that he's excited about playing for the Commandos.
In addition to the April 28 game in which Hicks will play, the Commandos have home games at the Cincinnati Gardens May 12, May 26 and June 2. Tickets are $10-$22 and available through Ticket Master or the Cincinnati Gardens ticket office, 513-631-7793 or
2250 Seymour Ave. Find the team's website here.
Here's a video showing a bunch of cool stuff Hicks did as a Bearcat.
Let's start with Xavier, who is in a far more intriguing position heading into tonight's game. Joe Lunardi, Jerry Palm and Shaw Siegel — all well-known braketologists — have XU in as either an 11 or 12 seed. Fair enough, although as the 3 seed in the A-10 Tournament I believe the Muskies should have to win at least one game to earn a bid to the big dance. I'm going out on a limb here — win and in, lose and lock up a home game in the NIT.
But if the Musketeers can hold on for a "W" the 11 to 12 seed range looks far more promising than you may believe. Xavier is talented on any given night to beat most of the 5 and 6 seeds. Here's a mouthwatering thought: Lunardi has Xavier against Louisville in his latest projection. That would be one hell of a game.
The Bearcats will be more than familiar with Syracuse after tonight's game and a regular season meeting, but I think the Bearcats match up better with the Jayhawks. If things go according to (my) plan and UC gets Kansas, Yancy Gates is going to have to go into beast mode against player-of-the-year candidate Thomas Robinson. I digress; a win against Syracuse tonight in the mecca of hoops, MSG, might push UC into the realm of a 7 seed. Oh how magical that would be.
If Gates can put up a performance similar to yesterdays and the defense can limit the opportunities of Dion Waiters and Kris Joseph the 'Cats have a fighting chance. It would also be nice if those cool new uniforms — 28 percent lighter than the old ones, I hear — could supply and additional 10 points or so just for good measure.
As a UC fan I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a 7 seed. I really would like to see Xavier in and prove that their recent struggles aren't a true reflection of their potential. Check back Monday for a Selection Sunday analysis.
The year 2000 seems like only yesterday — everyone all hunched up in our bomb shelters assuming the bank was going to turn our life savings into some kind of repeating decimal instead of the hundreds of dollars we had in there, all because a computer doesn't know how to count above 1999.
Once we made it to the Millennium, many Cincinnatians' concerns shifted from ultimate survival to how awesome it was going to be when Kenyon Martin and the UC Bearcats won the National Title. We're not here to recap how much it sucked to witness Kenyon's broken ankle in the stupid Conference USA tournament or to apologize to the girlfriend at the time who walked in the room during the injury and expected some semblance of reason to be demonstrated despite the fatal blow to the 'Cats' chances. (She says she forgave me, but her recent marriage to a hockey player in California speaks otherwise...)
Before the conference tournament there was the Bearcats' second-to-last regular season game, a contest against future pro Quintin Richardson and the DePaul Blue Demons on March 2, 2000. UC had four of its own players who would be drafted following the 1999-00 season: Martin (1st overall pick in 2000), DerMarr Johnson (6th pick in 2000), Kenny Satterfield (53rd in 2001) and Steve Logan (30th in 2002).
Witness, via the beauty of the
Internet, the final 3:46 of gametime, the No. 2 Bearcats trailing
60-50 and Dick Vitale in the house to go off about how awesome Kenyon was.
University of Cincinnati basketball players might not know that much about the history between their program and that of Ohio State University, but Cincinnati's mayor just added another level to the stakes for tonight's game. Mayor Mark Mallory and Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman have made a friendly bet on the outcome, putting each city's hometown ice cream on the line.
If Ohio State wins the game — which will take place 9:45 p.m. tonight in Boston — Mallory will send a shipment of Graeter's to Columbus. Should UC beat OSU and advance to the Elite 8, Coleman will send some of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams to Cincinnati.
Mallory has offered supreme confidence that the 6-seeded Bearcats will take down the 2-seed Buckeyes.
"The Cincinnati Bearcats are a great source of pride for the entire city. I'm confident that UC will prevail and march on to the Elite 8," Mallory said in a news release. "I just hope Mayor Coleman sends enough Jeni's Ice cream for the entire team."
When offered the initial wager, Coleman reportedly slammed down his OSU travel coffee mug, then paused to reflect on the heartbreak Buckeye fans felt back in 1961 when UC upset the favored Buckeyes to win the NCAA championship and then defeated OSU in the title game again in 1962. (Just kidding, Coleman was also gracious and nice, releasing his own statement.)
"I want to thank Mayor Mallory for his generous offer of Graeter's ice cream on behalf of the Bearcats," Coleman said. "While I do not expect it to be as sweet as the Buckeyes' victory Thursday night, I'm sure it will be delicious. In fact, I'll be happy to share some with Mayor Mallory if he'd like to join me next week rooting on the Buckeyes in the Final Four.
ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi has Xavier as one of his first four out, and I tend to agree — although I disagree with the pointless bickering in the comments section regarding the brawl that happened — wait for it — almost three months ago. The Bearcats are listed as a 10 seed, a much better prospect than having an 8 or 9 seed and having to play Kentucky or Syracuse if they can make it past the first round. With the current mock up, the 'Cats would play San Diego State in the first round — a winnable game — and North Carolina in the second — maybe, with a hope and a prayer.
Not to say that crazier things haven't happened: VMI, Butler (twice) and George Mason have all knocked off No. 1 seeds in the tournament. UC has more talent than any of those teams, and if they can continue playing like they did against Marquette this past Wednesday the Sweet 16 or even Elite 8 isn't out of the question.
The Bearcats played stifling defense against Marquette, forcing 17 turnovers. They dominated the paint, outscoring the Golden Eagles 42-24, and JaQuon Parker was a revelation. Parker used his size and strength to drive to the hoop at will and went 2-for-4 from behind the arc, including a halftime buzzer-beater that put UC up 16 at the half. Parker finished the game with a career-best 28 points.
The Bearcats didn't look back. Yancy Gates finished the game with 13 boards despite being limited to less than four minutes of first half play because of foul trouble. The 72-61 final wasn't as close as the score indicated, as UC coasted to victory. With the emergence of Parker the 'Cats now have a steady combo of inside and outside threats that will make them a difficult team to face both in New York and in the NCAA tournament.
Xavier, on the other hand, isn't a lock for a ticket to March Madness. Winning the A10 tourney would put all doubt to rest. The Muskies host Charlotte tomorrow; with a loss the NIT will certainly be beckoning. A win leaves a glimmer of hope, but in all likelihood, Chris Mack and his team will be on the outside looking in next Sunday.
The Bearcats' sweet double-overtime victory yesterday over Georgetown was the team's sixth win in its last seven games, three of which were against teams ranked in the Top 25 at the time. The 'Cats are now 6-3 against the RPI top 50, with tonight's 7 p.m. Big East semifinal against No. 2 Syracuse offering an opportunity to seriously enhance the team's seeding come Sunday.
ESPN Bracketologist Joe Lunardi currently has the Bearcats projected as an 8 seed, playing Virginia in the first round with a potential second-round game against No. 1 seed Kansas. This situation would seriously suck. (For Cincinnati or for Kansas? ... Good point.)
Cincinnati is by far the most dangerous team in the 7-10 range, having recently defeated projected 3-seeds Marquette and Georgetown, along with projected 5-seed Louisville. It's safe to say that no No. 1 or 2 seed wants to see the Bearcats in the second round. And for UC, the road to the Sweet Sixteen actually would look a lot easier from one of the 11 or 12 seeds — fellow Big East squad South Florida is projected as a 12 to face 5-seed UNLV in the first round and potentially 4-seed Florida State in the second. I think UC would gladly take on a tougher first-round matchup for a second round game that's not against a school that starts four or five future NBA players.
It actually wouldn't be a huge surprise if UC is one of the several teams that every year gets slotted somewhere far from what the prognosticators expected. The Bearcats' RPI of 58 might fit in with those of some of the current bubble teams, but only two other teams outside the RPI top 17 have as many wins over the RPI top 50 as UC's six (Kansas State, RPI 44, and Notre Dame, RPI 37, each also have six).
The Bearcats received votes in the AP Top 25 last week. UC's five votes had the team around the No. 35 ranking, which falls in line with the 8- to 9-seed projection. But that was before yesterday's win over Georgetown, which would likely have earned the 'Cats more votes even if the team loses to Syracuse. Louisville, on the other hand, fell from the Top 25 in last week's ranking, actually sitting two spots out at No. 27, but the Cardinals are currently projected as a 5 seed, which would typically include teams in the 17-20 range.
The selection committee doesn't strictly follow any single set of rankings when determining seeding, but the guess here is that even with a loss to Syracuse in the Big East semifinals it wouldn't be a stretch for the committee to consider UC one of the top 28 teams in the country, which would put UC among the 7 seeds. And it's safe to say that a win over Syracuse would put the Bearcats firmly in the Top 25 by week's end, meaning a 6 seed would be possible. And if UC were to win the whole Big East tournament, it would be difficult for any selection committee to seed the team very far from the likes of projected 3-seeds Georgetown and Marquette, two teams the Bearcats have beaten in the last 16 days.
Here's hoping the
Bearcats put on a good showing tonight in primetime against the No. 2
team in the country in the Big East semis. Selection committee
members will be watching, as will the potential No. 1 and No. 2 seeds
which certainly don't want to see Cincinnati between themselves and
the second round.

Late Sunday night, as the Cincinnati-Florida State game prepared to determine the final member of this year's Sweet Sixteen, the national analysis dudes all started talking about how the state of Ohio had gone 7-0 up to that point — Ohio University had just defeated South Florida to get into the Sweet Sixteen for the first time since the 1960s. Ohio State and Xavier were both already in.
Cincinnati went on to win a physical, back-and-forth game against FSU, which finished third in the Atlantic Coast Conference and won the ACC tournament. It was the first time in the history of UC's program that the team beat a higher-seeded opponent in the NCAA Tournament. The No. 6 seed Bearcats will play No. 2 seed Ohio State at 9:45 p.m. Thursday in Boston, which means the state of Ohio will suffer its first loss of the 2012 NCAA Tournament then.
After a second-round comeback win over Notre Dame, Xavier found itself in the fortunate position of facing a team called "Lehigh" rather than one called "Duke." Lehigh was one of two 15 seeds to defeat a No. 2 seed in this year's second-round of play, and the "Mountain Hawks" made actually game of against Xavier, which didn't have the game in hand until less than five minutes remained. Xavier will now play No. 3 seed Baylor at 7:15 p.m. Friday in Atlanta.
Ohio University upset 4-seeded Michigan in the second round and then ousted No. 13 seed South Florida in the third. The Bobcats will play No. 1 seed North Carolina at 7:47 p.m. Friday in St. Louis.
Ohio State beat Loyola (Md.) and Gonzaga to earn its spot in the Sweet Sixteen. OSU and Cincinnati last faced each other in the NCAA Tournament in the 1962 National Championship game, which UC won 71–59. (UC also defeated OSU in the 1961 title game, 70-65.) The Ohio State-Cincinnati winner will face the winner of Syracuse-Wisconsin, setting up a potential rematch of the Big East Tournament semifinal game when Cincinnati upset Syracuse.
The Ohio Valley's hoops success easily spreads beyond just the Ohio teams — three more schools within 100 miles are in the Sweet Sixteen: Kentucky, Louisville and Indiana. Kentucky and Indiana are actually matched up in the South Region (9:45 p.m. Friday in Atlanta), while Louisville faces Michigan State in the West (7:47 p.m. Thursday in Phoenix).
The Big East again this year sent more teams to the NCAA Tournament than any other conference, and four of its nine are still standing: Syracuse, Marquette, Cincinnati and Louisville. Each of these schools is in a separate region, so it's still technically possible for an all-Big East Final Four.

Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Batman had the Joker. Superman had General Zod.
Felix Hernandez's nemesis this season has been the Texas Rangers. Leonys
Martin hit a homer and drove in four runs as the Rangers pounded the Seattle
right-hander again and swept this three-game set at Safeco Field with
Wednesday's 12-4 thrashing. Adrian Beltre and Elvis Andrus each had three
hits and two RBI for the AL West-leading Rangers, who posted their seventh
win in nine games. Martin Perez (8-3) won his career-best fifth straight
start after tossing six innings. He held the Mariners without a hit through
three frames and allowed just solo homers by Dustin Ackley and Kyle Seager.
Hernandez (12-8) was far from effective in his brief outing. He was roughed up
for nine runs -- eight earned -- on 11 hits in three-plus innings. The 2010
AL Cy Young Award winner is now 0-4 with a 7.57 ERA in five meetings with
Texas this year. He has also dropped three consecutive starts and four of five
overall. Ackley added an RBI double in the ninth for the Mariners, who were
winless during their six-game homestand.

Cyclones Bested by No. 35 Kansas, 6-1
AMES, Iowa- The Iowa State tennis team (8-6, 0-2 Big 12) dropped the Big 12 opener to No. 35 Kansas (9-3, 1-0 Big 12), 6-1, at Ames Racquet and Fitness Center.
"We were right in it," Espinosa said. "A 6-1 final is not really depicting of the match. It's not really what happened out there."
Junior Ksenia Pronina earned a powerful win at No. 1 singles over Dylan Windom in the Cyclones' sole singles victory of the day. The Geraardsbergen, Belgium, native fought through a first-set tiebreak to take the win, 7-6(4), 6-4.
"[Pronina] is playing really well," Espinosa said. "She's sticking to what she does best."
Pronina teamed up with freshman Samantha Budai at No. 1 doubles to take down Windom and Paulina Los, 8-6. Despite the win, Kansas took the doubles point after wins at both other doubles slots.
"I think the momentum of the match kind of switched after we lost the doubles point," Espinosa said. "There were tons of opportunities there."
After a loss in the first set, junior Meghan Cassens fought her way to a third set at No. 2 singles against Maria Jose Cardona. Cardona took the match, 6-2, 3-6, 1-0(8).
Freshman Talisa Merchiers fell in a second-set tiebreak to Morgan Barnhill, 6-3, 7-6(0).
The Cyclones will get another chance at Big 12 success this Sunday when they take on No. 58 Kansas State. The match will begin at 9 a.m. CT at Ames Racquet and Fitness Center.

We've been using Zimbra for staff, faculty, and student email for over five years. Although some might differ, it has been a successful deployment overall and our users have come to take rich access to their email from anywhere for granted. We were in the private cloud before cloud was cool.
But today Zimbra has greater competition in the EDU space in the form of "free" hosted email from Microsoft and Google. When we last looked at these options there were enough obvious caveats, gotchas, and not-so-hidden costs that the value proposition was arguable. Today competition between these two giants is driving the market and it's getting tougher for an EDU to justify the cost of hosting their own email.
Unfortunately, Zimbra doesn't seem well positioned to meet this challenge. Zimbra and VMware have preferred to leave public cloud Zimbra offerings to their service providers - a logical choice given their position in the market. Unfortunately that model no longer seems competitive in the EDU space where service providers have little reason to host large volume email domains for free.
If Zimbra wants to be competitive in the EDU market they're going to have to be more aggressive on both pricing and marketing. That probably means free Network Edition licensing for EDU and considerable work on exposing the TCO of these solutions. Certainly some will still see value in hosting their own email, but once management hears the siren call of "free" and "Outlook" there may be no room for argument.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Brandon Jennings poured in a season-high
33 points as the Milwaukee Bucks topped the Philadelphia 76ers, 105-96,
on Monday at Wells Fargo Center.
Jennings added eight assists and five rebounds, while Monta Ellis finished
with 18 points, seven assists and five boards for the Bucks, who improved to
3-0 on the road this season. Mike Dunleavy contributed 13 points and five
boards in the victory.
Jrue Holiday paced the Sixers with 25 points and six assists, but turned the
ball over eight times, while Jason Richardson returned to the lineup after
missing four games with an ankle sprain and dropped 20 points.
Dorell Wright donated 14 points and Thaddeus Young added 11 points and seven
rebounds in the setback.
Milwaukee got off to an incredibly hot start, sinking its first eight shots
from the floor en route to a 17-10 lead with 7:14 left in the quarter.
The Sixers answered with an 8-2 spurt to cut the deficit to 19-18, but the
Bucks fired back with the next seven straight, building the lead back to
26-18, with 3:29 on the clock.
A jumper by Larry Sanders gave the Bucks a 10-point margin and they led by
eight after one quarter.
Wright capped a 19-9 Philadelphia run with a 3-pointer to give the Sixers a
45-43 lead with 5:02 to play in the first half.
The game went back and forth for the next few minutes before the Bucks closed
the half with a 14-2 run to lead 62-50.
A technical free throw by Jennings gave the Bucks their largest lead of the
game, 75-59, but the Sixers fought back to tie the game at 83 with a 24-8 run
to close the stanza.
Jennings drained a deep three early in the fourth quarter to give Milwaukee a
92-89 lead, and the Bucks put the game away with a 9-4 push, capped by a
back-breaking Dunleavy trey with 2:45 to play.
Game Notes
Milwaukee won in Philadelphia for the first time since April 10, 2010 ... The
Sixers had a three-game winning streak snapped ... Earlier on Monday, the
Sixers announced that center Andrew Bynum would be unlikely to see game action
until January due to a bone bruise in his right knee ... Philadelphia shot
just 4-of-21 from the field in the fourth quarter ... The Bucks dominated in
the paint, outscoring the Sixers, 42-24.

For thousands of years indigenous peoples and local communities have been custodians of nature, living in harmony with the land and the oceans that sustain them, based on a deep knowledge of the natural world.
But in our drive for development this knowledge is being lost. Policies relating to land and resources have largely ignored the role of indigenous peoples in conservation and they have little say in how these resources are used.
With a growing recognition of the value of traditional knowledge and community involvement in managing protected areas, can indigenous people become key players in the quest for sustainability?
Respecting Indigenous and Traditional Knowledge and Culture is one of the key themes of the 2014 IUCN World Parks Congress.

Spring ForwardWritten by on August 1, 2001 10 New Trends At The Goodguys First-Ever Del Mar Nats
It felt like a fresh startan all-new show on the same weekend that wrenching season officially opened. It was the beginning of daylight saving time in California, and we were at the Goodguys first Del Mar Nationals. The show brimmed with cars wed never seen in our farther-north lingerings, and there were some novel ideas that got us thinking.
Many rodders have been looking at slightly newer cars for building fodder, and our advertisers tell us that early-60s cars are the next big venue for the peddling of parts. Springing forward past a stifling 48-and-older cutoff, Goodguys often welcomes cars as new as 72. Not only that, but our trade organizationthe Street Rod Manufacturers Associationhas recently changed the bylaws to include companies that specialize in cars through 72. The definition of street rod hasnt changed, but the age of acceptable coolness is becoming younger.
Taking the hint, we prowled the Del Mar show with the cameras set on the 60s, hoping to get your take on the newer cars. Were not talking about resto musclecars or 64 409 Impalas with a set of Cragars, but about early-60s American iron with a true Rod & Custom treatment. Here are 10 examples of what we mean. What do you think? Is this the next level, or is it a waste of space in R&C? Tell us your opinion by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling the voice-mail line at 323/782-2156. You can also write to Rod & Custom , 6420 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90048.

Obviously, the FED CUP win doesn't count towards the single rankings but it counts in other big ways besides a win for her country and the team. Look what winning Davis Cup last year did for Novak Djokovic this year. I'm not saying Kiva will go undefeated in the first part of next season and bag three majors, but it cemented her as THE lady baller of the WTA after a dismal post-Wimby stretch that ended indoors this fall. She has the all of the momentum going into 2012 after a spectacular end to 2011.
Is she flawless? Hardly. Kiva still has bouts of inconsistency, but where those moments used to do her in during big matches in key moments she's found a way to work through it and pull out the win. Hell, she's got the weapons to turn any match around in her favor. And let's face it: When she's on court with most lady ballers, save for the Sisters Sledge and, perhaps, Kim Clijsters, the match is in her hands.
And, at the end of the day, that's a nice place to be.

Remarks by the First Lady on Take Your Child To Work Day.
The White House Press Office released the remarks the First Lady gave during this morning's "Take Your Child To Work Day" meet-up in which children of Executive Office employees had an opportunity to ask her questions. Read on to see what the children queried and how Michelle Obama responded:
Office of the First Lady
For Immediate Release
April 23, 2009
East Room
MRS. OBAMA: Well, hello. Wow, look at you, guys. What's going on? Did they tell you not to talk? (Laughter.) You can talk, you really can.
Welcome to the White House. Thank you, Katie, for that introduction. First let me just get off script for a second. What have you guys done so far?
Q We've met the people who give the letters --
MRS. OBAMA: Oh, yes, that's good, the correspondence people. What else?
Q We also have questions --
MRS. OBAMA: Ooh, questions for me. Good, good. (Laughter.) What else? What else?
Well, you're going to get to see this whole place. What -- what did you have to say, sweetie?
Q (Inaudible.)
MRS. OBAMA: Oh, yes? Somebody who worked for the Vice President, great. Well, so far, so good. But most importantly, you don't have to go to school today, right? Yeah! (Applause.)
But hopefully you'll learn something today. So before we get into questions, I just wanted to say good morning and welcome to the White House. We're really pleased to have you guys here for this day, Take Your Child to Work Day. Has anybody participated in this before? Cool. This is a good day. Well, this year's theme is "Celebrating Service: Country, Community, and Family." And we invited you all here so you could learn more about what your moms and your dads do when they come to work every day.
And when someone works at the White House -- and I think somebody told you this earlier -- they're called a "public servant." And it's not just people who work at the -- in the White House, but it's people who work in government, in the non-profit sector, people who work in city governments. They're people who do a ton of things around this city. They are all public servants, and that means that you're working every day for the community that you live in. And they work on all sorts of projects that affects things like the food that you eat, the air that you breathe, the school that you go to. Their work touches so many parts of your lives.
And working at the White House is an honor and a privilege, and your parents take their jobs very seriously. We couldn't do what we do -- the President, me, none of us could do it -- without the support of people like your parents who work very hard. And I know that they take a lot of time away from home. Sometimes you might think they work a little too hard, they could come home a little earlier. But we appreciate what they do, and we appreciate your sacrifice, and just understanding that your parents are busy not just working to make your lives better but children across the nation and around the world.
And what's important to know is that your parents got here because they worked hard. They worked hard when they were your age. And I tell my kids this all the time: If you want to work in a place like the White House, no matter what you do, now is the time that you have to start thinking about working hard in school. And I'm assuming that everybody here works hard in school, right?
CHILDREN: Yes.
MRS. OBAMA: That you make sure you're there every day on time, that you do your homework, that you listen to the teachers, that you do your best. I tell my girls this every day: It doesn't matter what grade you get, but it matters how well you do. And my question is, for them, did you do your very best?
And that's what I know your parents want for you and what we all want for you, is that as you think about developing into young people, that you think about how well you're doing in school, that you're listening to your teachers and that you're paying attention -- because we're counting on you guys.
In a short period of time, you'll find that you'll be in high school, then maybe you'll go to college, then maybe you'll go on to get another degree. But pretty soon you'll be adults out here doing really fun stuff, maybe something like what you've seen people here doing at the White House. And we want you to be prepared and excited.
But most of all we want you to think about serving your communities, because you don't have to be a White House employee to do it. You can do it now. You can do it first of all by listening to your parents. That's a service in and of itself, just being a good kid. But you could volunteer at a homeless shelter, right? You could work for a soup kitchen. You could volunteer in a garden. You could help tutor another kid in your class who's having trouble. You could walk your neighbor's dog, mow the lawn. There's so much that you can do right now. And we want you all to start thinking now about what you can do to be good public servants, not when you grow up but right now.
So we hope you have a great day. I think you're going to get to walk around the White House and see the great rooms that we have here. You're going to get to go outside on the South Lawn, and it's a beautiful day. We planted this wonderful garden, and I haven't seen it since the rain, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it's going and what you think of the garden. I think there's some big chocolate Easter egg out there that they're going to show you. You'll get to see where Barney -- not Barney, but where Barney used to run and now Bo, our dog, plays.
So I hope you guys have fun and you really think about, you know, what you want to do when you grow up and what it takes to get there.
So now I'll stop talking, because we already have one question right now. Yes, young lady. Why don't you stand up and tell me your name and how old you are.
Q My name is Aylis Davenport (ph) --
MRS. OBAMA: There we go.
Q And how does it feel to be the First Lady?
MRS. OBAMA: You know, it feels just like probably being a mom, being a worker. I've worked all my life -- I've worked in corporateAmerica, I've worked for non-profits -- and I consider this a very important job, but I have to take it just as seriously as anyone who does their job. I wake up every morning, first of all, making sure that my kids get to school on time and they do their homework.
And then I get to have a lot of fun because I get to do things like come and talk to you guys and go out to schools and plant a garden and go visit military families. So I think it's a lot of fun, the job that I have. But it feels good, actually. Thank you.
All right, let's get another question. How about that young man right there in the nice striped tie? You in the white shirt, turn around. That's you.
Q (Inaudible.)
MRS. OBAMA: Oh, okay, all right, we'll come back to you, we'll do you next. What did you say?
Q -- well, how did you -- if something bad happened --
MRS. OBAMA: Stand up for a second. Stand up, okay.
Q What will happen if something bad happened to a country?
MRS. OBAMA: If something bad happened to -- like what?
Q Like the earthquake that happened in China -- what would you do?
MRS. OBAMA: What would I do?
Q Yes.
MRS. OBAMA: Well, first of all I'd wake my husband up if it were at night. (Laughter.) And I'd tell him, hey, buddy, you're the President, get down to the Oval Office and call some leaders. You know, that's the beauty of my job. I mean, I'm married to the President and he has to worry about all that. So I think he would probably call together his Cabinet members. He'd probably talk to the people who were in charge. He'd talk to the Secretary of State. He'd call the leaders of other countries, and they'd work to figure out what they could do to help another nation in trouble. And then I'd go back to sleep and ask him how it turned out when I woke up the next morning. (Laughter.)
All right, let's get that young man that was in the back that we missed.
Q Well, what does your dog like to do?
MRS. OBAMA: What does my daughter --
Q Your dog.
MRS. OBAMA: Oh, my dog. Oh, the dog. (Laughter.) Oh, he is a crazy dog. He -- you know, he loves to chew on people's feet. (Laughter.) I'll tell you a story about Bo last night. It was like 10:00 p.m. at night, everybody was asleep, and we hear all this barking and jumping around, and the President and I came out and we thought somebody was out there. And it was just Bo. (Laughter.) He was playing with his ball. And it was like there was another person in the house. He's kind of crazy. But he's still a puppy, so he likes to play a lot.
All right, in the pink. Oh, miss Finnigan (ph), how are you?
Q My name is Mazy (ph).
MRS. OBAMA: I meant Mazy (ph). What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in school. (Laughter.)

Heard about it yesterday on Mancow. Wow, that is classic. I love how she keeps saying "US Americans." She was on Good Morning America today and said that she was just in shock and didn't hear the question. That's why her answer was so insane. Riiight
I saw it yesterday so I can't watch it again so soon, but there are numerous great lines in it. My favorite was,

Summary:As his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry approaches, 15-year-old Harry Potter is in full-blown adolescence, complete with regular outbursts of rage, a nearly debilitating crush, and the blooming of a powerful sense of rebellion. It's been yet another infuriating and boring summer with the despicable Dursleys, this time with minimal contact from our hero's non-Muggle friends from school. Harry is feeling especially edgy at the lack of news from the magic world, wondering when the freshly revived evil Lord Voldemort will strike. Returning to Hogwarts will be a relief--or will it?

Lauderdale County's District 5 supervisor, Ray Boswell, announced Thursday his switch to the Republican Party.
In a written statement, Boswell said he has had overwhelming support and encouragement to do so. He said "his core values have always been more in line with the Republicans."
"I have been the most conservative member of the board of supervisors while serving as a Democrat," wrote Boswell. "I will continue as I have in the past to watch every penny spent by the county to ensure that it is spent wisely."
In his statement, Boswell said he'll continue to have job creation, low taxes, better roads and efficient operations as his goals.
But Boswell said, "in contrast to some Republicans, I will not be bought out by special interest groups or the wealthy. I will serve all the people."
Two other Republicans have already qualified to run for the District 5 seat, Kyle Rutledge and Peter A. Russell. One Democrat, Daniel Cook, has qualified so far. The qualifying deadline is Mar. 2.

text: No city can really thrive without animals. Animals represent an important part of our community. As companions, as an endangered species and sometimes as a source of nuisance. By connecting the interests of users (humans and animals) of the public space and align these with each other, we'll be able to create a more harmonious co-existence. The municipal welfare policy should not only represent the human vision, but also give animals a voice. There needs to be recognition that animals shouldn't be viewed primarily on the basis of their meaning, usefulness or the damage they possibly cause to humans, but that they should be assessed on their value as living beings.Isn't it striking how one can so easily replace the above subjects with 'people on bicycles' & 'car drivers', to describe a virtually equal objective? Or for that matter, 'people on foot' & 'transit'? Exactly. I could now veer off into an expose on how equality has prevailed in everyday traffic & policies in the Netherlands, but I won't. In these pictures you can easily see the 'chain reaction' of positive bicycle policies & promotion at work. The more human you treat your city landscape (by design), the more inviting and inspiring it is for people to act accordingly. Cycling is dealt with as a faster way of walking, so that gets facilitated appropriately. Cycling becomes the norm, then the most normal thing in the world: not giving it another thought. With the ease of cycling comes the natural selection of applications, aka: what can I do on my bike? The options are almost limitless. And pets, well, they form just one extension of those applications. Thus, people are able to seamlessly have their pets join them on their A2B routes, regardless of time & place (& weather). In short: nobody will look funny at you. Better yet, people copy behavior. And who wouldn't want to copy this, right? And why not add 'The Chase', while I'm at it. And click here if you wanna see me ride around with my parents' Jack Russel named 'Beau'.

DECATUR, Ga. -- Police arrested an inmate who was mistakenly released from the DeKalb County jail after a brief SWAT standoff at a Lithonia house on Friday afternoon.
According to DeKalb County, Joel Ledarius Harper had barricaded himself inside the Cedar Rock Drive home with his 4-year-old daughter.
Early Friday, the DeKalb County sheriff's office, announced they were working to locate and capture Harper, 22, who was mistakenly released from the DeKalb County Jail on November 21.
Harper was serving a ten-year prison sentence for two counts of armed robbery and one count of aggravated assault.
He was taken into custody shortly after 9 p.m. on Friday.

MARIETTA, Ga. -- Two busloads of members of the Roswell Street Baptist Church packed the Marietta city council meeting Wednesday to protest a controversial land.
Pastor Ernest Easley claims the city acquire a $1.5-million piece of church property for pennies on the dollar.
"We just want the city to give us a fair amount of money for the land they're taking form us," Pastor Easley said.
The pastor says the church has been in negotiations with the city for more than decade.
The city wants the land for a road-widening and improvement project.
The problem is that there has been little agreement on what the land is worth and how much the city is willing to pay for it.
Pastor Easley says the city lowballed them and when they refused to sell, tried to condemn the property and take it over their objections.
With the city council chambers packed with church members, the council dropped plans to condemn the property.
Instead, they voted to hire a mediator, hoping the two sides can finally agree on a fair price for the land.

http://mmajunkie.com A pair of lightweight bouts featuring alumni from Spike TV's "The Ultimate Fighter" reality series are likely to be featured during the cable station's upcoming "UFC Prelim" broadcast for UFC 109.
Sources close to the the Feb. 6 event told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) the one-hour broadcast will include Mac Danzig (18-7-1 MMA, 2-3 UFC) vs. Justin Buchholz (8-4 MMA, 1-3 UFC) and Melvin Guillard (22-8-2 MMA, 5-4 UFC) vs. Ronnys Torres (14-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC).
However, Spike TV officials could not comment on the plans when reached for comment.
UFC 109 takes place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The "UFC Prelim" broadcast, which airs at 9 p.m. ET/PT, precedes the pay-per-view showing of the night's main card.
UFC 109 is the second of 10 "UFC Prelim" broadcasts planned for 2010. The series debuted in September 2009 and have helped bolster last-minute PPV buys – and have scored solid ratings of their own. The recent UFC 108 pay-per-view teaser, which featured Martin Kampmann vs. Jacob Volkmann and Cole Miller vs. Dan Lauzon, set a series record with 1.5 million viewers. (Others have averaged 1.3 million to 1.4 million viewers.)
Danzig, who won "TUF 6," finds himself in a must-win situation following his recent string of losses to Clay Guida, Josh Neer and Jim Miller. The one-time PRIDE fighter and former King of the Cage champion takes on Buchholz, who also desperately needs a victory. The one-time EliteXC fighter went 1-1 in his first two UFC fights but has since suffered stoppage losses to Terry Etim and Jeremy Stephens.
Torres and Guillard, meanwhile, were originally scheduled to meet at UFC Fight Night 18 in April 2009, but a knee injury forced Torres out of the contest and a subsequent booking. He'll now make his promotional debut against a cast member from "TUF 2" who looks to rebound from a submission loss to Nate Diaz in September. That loss snapped Guillard's three-fight win streak.
The full UFC 109 card now includes:
- Mark Coleman vs. Randy Couture
- Nate Marquardt vs. Chael Sonnen
- Mike Swick vs. Paulo Thiago
- Demian Maia vs. Dan Miller
- Matt Serra vs. Frank Trigg
PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)
- Justin Buchholz vs. Mac Danzig
- Melvin Guillard vs. Ronnys Torres
PRELIMINARY CARD (Un-aired)
- Rob Emerson vs. Phillipe Nover
- Phil Davis vs. Brian Stann
- Tim Hague vs. Chris Tuchscherer
- Rolles Gracie vs. Mostapha Al Turk

CBS news reporter: Government lying to us about war on terror
by Napp Nazworth
Newscast Media HOUSTON, Texas—Veteran Middle East reporter Lara Logan, who works for CBS' "60 Minutes," accused the U.S. government of propagating a "major lie" about terrorism, in her keynote address at Tuesday's Better Government Association annual luncheon. The lie, Logan said, is that the Taliban and al-Qaida terrorists have softened in recent years.
There has been "a narrative coming out of Washington over the last few years," Logan claimed, "driven by Pakistani lobbying money and by Taliban apologists," that "the Taliban today is so unlike the Taliban of 2001. They are just a more moderate, gentler, kinder, Taliban that just can't wait to see women in the workplace, occupy an equal role in society … it's such nonsense."
Logan was speaking about a Sept. 30 segment she reported on for "60 Minutes" about "insider attacks" killing U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Watch:
Logan also criticized the media who cover terrorism for not paying attention to what the terrorists say about the United States.
"Our way of life is under attack. And if you think that is government propaganda, if you think that's nonsense, if you think that's war-mongering, you're not listening to what the people who are fighting you say about this fight," Logan said emphatically.
"In your arrogance, you think you write the script, but you don't. There's two sides and we don't dictate the terms."
Toward the end of her speech, Logan directed more of her criticism directly at the Obama administration.
"I can't stand that there's a major lie being propagated about the real situation. I don't care who's in power. I don't care who's behind it," she said.
She also criticized the Obama administration for its misleading statements about the terrorist attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya, that led to the deaths of Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
"When I look at what's going on in Libya, there's a big song and dance about whether this was a terrorist attack or a protest and you just want to scream, for God's sake, are you kidding me?"

Fort Worth, TX (Sports Network) - Ioannis Papapetrou finished with 15 points
to lead the Texas Longhorns to a 68-59 victory over the TCU Horned Frogs in a
Big 12 Conference tilt at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.
Connor Lammert added 13 points and seven rebounds for the Longhorns (12-14,
4-9 Big 12), while Myck Kabongo chipped in with 12 points and seven assists.
For the Horned Frogs (10-16, 1-12), Garlon Green finished with 15 points,
while Nate Butler Lind scored 12 points, Kyan Anderson tallied 10 points and
eight assists and Devonta Abron pulled down 11 rebounds.
The Longhorns took a 33-25 lead into the break, knocking down 59.1 percent of
their field goal tries in the half. TCU made 45 percent of their shots from
the field, but missed all three of their tries from beyond the 3-point arc
before the break.
Texas shot 46.2 percent from the field, including 3-of-5 from 3-point
distance, while TCU shot 42.3 percent and connected on 4-of-10 from beyond the
arc in the second half. The Frogs were able to tie the game at 48-48 with
under nine minutes to play, but the Longhorns responded with a 10-2 run to
regain the lead. The visitors held on for their first road victory of the
season and handed the Frogs their fourth straight loss.
TCU shot only 3-of-9 beyond the arc on the night and made good on just 14-
of-24 at the charity stripe in the nine-point decision.

(USA Today) -- Boeing's 787 Dreamliner continued to have problems on Wednesday when an All Nippon Airways flight in Japan was canceled over a problem with the plane's braking system.
ANA 698, a domestic flight headed to Tokyo's Haneda airport, was cancelled because brake parts from the rear left undercarriage needed to be replaced, Agence France Presse is reporting.
RELATED | Fuel leak reported on Boeing 787 in Boston
MORE | Battery causes fire on Japan Airlines 787 in Boston
"In the cockpit, an error message related to its brake system was displayed," an ANA spokeswoman told the AFP.
"The exact nature and the cause of the error message is not clear yet," she said.
The 98 passengers were switched to another flight for Haneda, AFP reports.
It's the third technical problem since Monday with Boeing's much celebrated aircraft.
On Tuesday, a Japan Airlines flight bound Tokyo was preparing for take-off at Boston's Logan International Airport when a fuel leak was discovered.
On Monday, a battery used to power another Japan Airlines Dreamliner when the engine is shut down on the ground caught fire at Logan.
The incidents are a setback for Boeing, which has marketed the Dreamliner as the jetliner of the future. The company started rolling out the aircraft last year. So far it has delivered 49 and plans to provide airlines with about 800 more.
The Dreamliner is the first commercial aircraft to be made largely of lightweight carbon composites rather than conventional aluminum and steel. Airlines around the world have bought the fuel- and cost-efficient planes.
Problems started during production, causing multiple delays of the aircraft's first delivery to All Nippon. And last month, United Airlines, the first U.S. carrier to fly the Dreamliner, and Qatar Airways had to divert or ground planes because of electrical issues on an aircraft that relies more on electricity than air pressure.
While the incidents have been an embarrassment for Boeing, some analysts say technical glitches during the first years of an aircraft are not uncommon.
"The 787 has undergone extensive testing, perhaps more testing than any other new aircraft in history," says Alan Bender, professor of aeronautics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. "I believe these problems are still within the realm of 'typical' new airplane problems. We only need to go back a couple of years to see somewhat similar problems with the new Airbus A-380--another 'revolutionary' aircraft."
Boeing spokeswoman Lori Gunter said Tuesday that the company was looking into this week's incident. But, she said, Monday's fire was not connected to December's issues with United and Qatar.
She says Boeing is cooperating with the NTSB on Monday's fire and previous events. She did not comment on Tuesday's fuel leak.
"Before providing more detail, we will give our technical teams the time they need to do a thorough job and ensure we are dealing with facts not speculation," she said.
Japan Airlines spokeswoman Carol Anderson said early this morning that Tuesday's leak was in the left wing surge tank vent.
The plane returned to the gate when it was discovered that one of the four valves connecting the center tank and left main tank was opened and had resulted in fuel flowing from the center tank to the left main tank. The leak finally reached the surge tank near the wing tip and out the vent, she said.
The leak was fixed and the plane was cleared for take-off to Tokyo's Narita airport, where it will undergo a more detailed inspection, she said.
The Federal Aviation Administration is looking into both U.S. incidents this week.
The National Transportation Safety Board gave an initial review of Monday's fire, which happened shortly after the plane landed from Tokyo and all passengers were deplaned.
Three investigators sent to Boston determined that the battery had caught on fire in the plane's auxiliary power unit, which is used when the jet's engines are turned off.
Firefighters discovered a fire in the electronics and equipment bay near the power unit's battery box, the NTSB's report says.
The fire was extinguished in about 40 minutes. A firefighter had minor injuries. No passengers were injured.

Taipei, Taiwan (SportsNetwork.com) - Francisco Garcia knocked down five of
Houston's 15 3-pointers on Sunday, as the Rockets ran away with a 107-98
victory over the Indiana Pacers in preseason action from Taipei Arena.
James Harden scored a game-high 21 points, while Jeremy Lin, whose parents
were born in Taiwan, added 17 points and four assists for the Rockets, who
were coming off a 20-point victory over Indiana on Thursday.
Paul George led the Pacers with 19 points, while Danny Granger contributed 15
points and nine rebounds for Indiana, which fell to 0-3 in the preseason.
The Pacers pulled within two twice in the fourth quarter, but were unable to
get over the hump as the Rockets used their hot shooting from beyond the arc
to hold on down the stretch.

"I feel like we are putting together a quality program here," said Hitchcock. "We had a good year finishing where we did in the standings (tied for 2nd in NHL with 109 points) but this club is not satisfied with our ending and firmly believes we have great things to come."
Hitchcock was named the 24th Head Coach in franchise history on November 6, 2011 and recently became the franchise's fourth winner of the Jack Adams Award joining Joel Quenneville (2000), Brian Sutter (1991) and Red Berenson (1981). Hitchcock led the Blues to their first 100-point season (49-22-11, 109 pts) since 2001 as well as their first playoff series win since 2002. Hitchcock set a franchise record for the best 10-game start for a new Blues coach (7-1-2) and became the sixth different coach in club history to record over 40 wins in a season. Hitchcock finished the regular season 13th all-time in games coached (1,110) and 11th in wins (576) while in playoff history he ranks 8th all-time in games (130) and 11th in wins (70).
