The Manchester Millrats' front office have been drastically changing the dynamic of their team since their opening day roster was released. Marlowe Currie was traded to Halifax a few days prior to the two teams meeting at SNHU. The Millrats received a second round draft pick in return.
January 26th marked the return of P.J. Young, to Manchester who led Central High School to back to back New Hampshire State Championships in 2000 and 2001. He also played college basketball at SNHU. Also the Millrats announced the signing of the former Springfield Armor Wing of the NBA's Development League, (NBADL) Julian Allen.
The 26th also marked the end of three Millrats who were released to pursue basketball careers elsewhere. Alexus Foyle is currently pursuing a career opportunity in Taiwan. Jose Guitian was signed to a contract in the BSN league in Puerto Rico. Al Stewart was the third player released.
Anthony Anderson who leads the league in scoring and assists, signed an overseas contract yesterday with the Trotamundos de Carabobo. Anderson is the fourth player to earn this type of contract after the first month of the season. Alexus Foyle of the Taiwan Mobile, Luke Bonner of the Austin Toros of the NBADL and Jose Guitian of Humacao in Puerto Rico.
"Part of our mission is to help players advance their playing careers, and we've done that extraordinarily well this season," said Millrats GM Ian McCarthy. "When it happens, it opens the door for other players to step into new roles."

John Roberts Jumps From CNN to Fox News
That is a long leap.
Last month, new CNN president Ken Jautz shook things up at his network's early show, American Morning. He booted anchor John Roberts from the fourth-place cable news morning program and is apparently thinking of replacing him with reporter/stud T.J. Holmes. Roberts was set to move down to Atlanta to report as a national correspondent for CNN and to be near his pregnant fiancée, CNN Newsroom anchor Kyra Phillips. But according to Mediaite this morning, there's been a change of plans: Roberts will instead report from Atlanta for rival network Fox News. Nabbing an award-winning hard-news journalist is a coup for the network, which struggles to differentiate from what it terms its straight news reporting and its prime-time opinion programs. Roberts, with his decades-long experiences at both CNN and CBS, will certainly help the network in that regard.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama head softball coach Patrick Murphy announced that the game against South Alabama has been rescheduled for Thursday, Feb. 28. First pitch is slated for 5 p.m., at Rhoads Stadium.
The game was originally set to be the home opener for the Crimson Tide on Feb. 12, but inclement weather caused the contest to be rescheduled.
South Alabama finished 41-17 in 2012 and played in the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional, where they fell to Alabama in the final, 6-0.

Upgrade Or Replace A Desktop Computer?
Desktop Computer – Upgrade or Replace?
In today's economic climate, home and business users can't afford to simply throw away their old desktop computer and replace them with the newest model. Review these tips if your desktop computer is slowing down of if you are wondering if you need a newer model before investing your hard earned dollars in a new system.
On average a desktop computer has a lifespan of approximately two to five years. This lifespan will depend on the type or unit you originally purchased, changes in software systems and their requirements and new hardware advances. The first thing that desktop computer users usually notice is that their systems aren't running as fast as they used to. Another problem is disk storage space for documents, photos and videos. Videos in particular take up a lot of space on your system and as you download videos stored on your cell phone or camera, you are taking up precious hard disk space. These are the primary areas when consumers tend to start thinking about a new system.
You will want to look at all your options before you run out to your local computer store. Compare the cost to upgrade your desktop computer to the cost of a new system and then decide what the best alternative for your situation is.
Guidelines For Upgrading Your Desktop Computer
There are several replaceable parts on a desktop computer as opposed to a laptop. We will take a look at a few of these components, their cost and the east of installation.
Computer memory is the most cost effective and easiest component on your desktop computer to upgrade. The concept is that the more memory your computer has, the more data it is capable of processing without having to access the virtual memory. A quick definition of virtual memory is the memory that is swapped to and from your computer's hard drive to do the necessary processing for the current task. At the time you purchased your computer you probably thought you had plenty of memory. Over time you may be doing more and more processing and you system "appears" to be slowing down. Adding additional memory could solve this problem. (Don't you wish it was that easy with our human brains?)
The cost of a memory upgrade will vary depending on the type of memory that is utilized by your desktop computer and the additional memory you would like to have added. This is one of the least expensive upgrades you can do for your system. Memory can be easily added by a knowledgeable desktop computer user, however, if you are not one who likes to get inside your system, you will want to call a computer repair professional.
Hard Drives
Next to a memory upgrade, adding additional space is the easiest upgrade you can do for your desktop computer. The average consumer's use of hard drive space has doubled over the past few years thanks to video, audio and picture collection. A good solution for this problem is to purchase an external hard drive and move some of your information off the main unit. Keep in mind that external hard drives can be damaged, so you will want to ensure that you also have a good backup of your data. Another alternative is to purchase an internal hard drive and have it installed by a computer repair professional. If you are utilizing a backup system (and you should be) make sure that the backup is adjusted to include the additional internal hard drive.
CD/DVD Drives
When it comes to the cost of upgrades, this is one of the least expensive changes you can make to your desktop computer. You can add DVD burner to your system for around $30 not including installation. This will give you another option for offloading data stored on your desktop computer that is not needed on a regular basis.
Video Cards
This is one upgrade that is usually not needed by the average desktop computer user unless you are into gaming. There have been some real advances with computer games and if this is one of your passions and you are thinking about purchasing a new computer just for your games, you may want to consider simply upgrading the video card. This would also apply if you are working with 3D software applications.
This is one of the least useful upgrades for a desktop computer. The process is intricate and is difficult to be done by most computer users. In many instances you will be restricted from upgrading the CPU by the type of motherboard on your computer. Check with your local computer repair professional to see if an upgrade to the CPU (central processing unit) of your computer would be a cost effective alternative to purchasing a new computer.
Time to Replace?
On average the cost to upgrade a desktop computer is 50% of the cost to replace the computer. Unless you have money to spend, upgrading your computer is a great alternative to purchasing a new unit. After all, there will be a newer and better system on the market tomorrow and trying to keep up with the latest and greatest can be a very expensive proposition.

UPDATE ON FLORA: Flora is no longer scared. She is on her way to her new home, and we all wish Flora and her new mom a happily ever after. Thank you everyone for sharing Flora's story.
At the overcrowded San Bernardino Animal Shelter, Flora sits quietly in Kennel 41, and makes no eye contact or movement with anyone. A volunteer writes:
"Flora just broke my heart so bad that I had to leave the shelter early today. She doesn't move."
No one knows for sure if Flora just had a litter of puppies or if she is pregnant. She has not growled or shown any aggression. As of the latest report, four-year-old Flora is available for adoption.
Flora has not been examined by a veterinarian, and it is unknown if her stillness is due to panic or pain; this is a truly desperate situation. When a volunteer entered Flora's kennel, this poor soulful dog defecated on herself; again no aggression has been noted.
Flora's tragic story has been shared over 2,500 times, but there are still no guarantees this dog has been rescued.
Please watch Flora's video.

REVIEW: 'Eat Pray Love'
2 stars
Drama adapted from the best-selling memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert, stars Julia Roberts as a newly-divorced woman embarking on a journey of self-discovery. Also stars James Franco and Javier Bardem. Click here for session info.
Of all books to turn into a movie, a spiritual memoir is surely the most problematic. Translating heartbreak is one thing but personal epiphanies, encounters with God and witty inner monologues don't have a natural home on the big screen. Because of that, Eat Pray Love, the cinematic version, feels too much like a film and less like Elizabeth Gilbert's real-life story. It's as though the "phenomenon" of Eat Pray Love got away on itself and, rather than casting a self-deprecating, unknown actress who could embody 30-something middle-class angst, they chose the biggest, richest movie star of the lot. And let's be honest: Julia Roberts has a face that could distract you from even the most thrilling plot.
The plot here doesn't quite hang together within its two-hour-plus limits either. One minute Liz has a husband, the next, a boyfriend, then suddenly she's complaining about putting on weight in Italy. Yeah, right.
The best part of the film is in India where we're introduced to Richard from Texas (Richard Jenkins), a character who yes, wants to save her but without fawning like the next joker, played by Javier Bardem. It's telling that Richard's back-story provides the film's most affecting scene, sweeping Liz's problems into woe-is-me oblivion.
As a travelogue, the film almost delivers. Glee director Ryan Murphy brings a much-needed dose of flamboyant colour and movement to the cinematography, (aside from a rather dull Italy – it can't have been easy shooting in Rome so perhaps that explains it). And Bali must be pleased. Its tourist numbers are sure to spike once this comes out.

The latest in earth shattering DC Comics related news items from January 18th - 20th, 2014!
"Batman vs. Superman" moved to 2016!
Warner Brothers and DC Entertainment surprised many when they announced that Zack Synder's still officially untitled sequel to "Man of Steel", dubbed "Batman vs. Superman" (or "Superman vs. Batman" or "Superman/Batman") has seen its release date pushed ahead ten months from July 17th, 2015 to May 6th, 2016. This comes amid no end of rumors over the past months from Ben Affleck being cast as Batman, Gal Gadot cast as Wonder Woman (in a cameo of unknown importance) and no end of casting rumors involving everyone from Denzel Washington to the Rock. Joaquin Phoenix ("Gladiator") is still supposedly up for the role of the main villain. In its place will be the umpteenth take on Peter Pan, now titled "Pan".
Warner Brothers stated that the extra time is being taken to "help fully realize the vision" that writers David S. Goyer and Synder himself have hashed out. One reason suspected for the move was Affleck's schedule; he was set to direct "Live by Night" in the near future with some rumors being that the "Argo" director may have some influence on the script for "Superman/Batman". Another is that 2015 is going to be a hefty summer for audiences - with Disney related projects loading the theaters such as the next "Star Wars" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" as well as Marvel Studios' "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Ant-Man". Shifting the release date to 2016 would instead pit the film against Fox's "X-Men: Apocalypse" and a film which Marvel Studios has yet to officially announce.
Within the past seven years, the flip flopping Warner Brothers has had with their DC Comics related projects has been akin to a fish out of water. The Chris Nolan trilogy of Batman films have brought them success, but their envy of Marvel Studios' "cinematic universe" built up over many films has caused them no end of trouble. A proposed "Justice League" film began production but was then nixed in 2007 following the writers' strike and higher than expected taxes in Australia. "Green Lantern", once imagined as their answer to "Iron Man", bombed under its own weight in 2011. Despite iconic heroine Wonder Woman being considered too "tricky" to make into film, Warner Brothers instead invested tens of millions on "Jonah Hex" with a horrid result. Last summer's "Man of Steel" was a success, but apparently not so much of one that simply doing a straight up sequel was considered a no-brainer, especially with the studio now once again attempting to emulate their rivals with a "team" film. At any rate, delaying "Batman vs. Superman" is either a sign of flaws being shored up, or a train beginning to go off the rails.
"Batman: Son of Batman" trailer online!
Despite the latest of the DC Universe Animated direct to video films, "Justice League: War", not yet up for sale yet, Warner Brothers Home Video has begun the push for the next one in line. It will be the first one since January 2013 which isn't an adaptation of a story written by Geoff Johns, now chief creative officer of DC Entertainment. Titled "Batman: Son of Batman", it is based off of the "Batman and Son" story by Grant Morrison and Adam Kubert did in 2006 in "Batman #655-658,#663-666". In it, Talia Al Ghul reveals to Bruce Wayne that he is the father of her son, Damian Wayne. They then go on to battle no end of foes (such as Man-Bat) as well as each other as the young Damian has been bred for war and may be the harshest Robin yet. Displaying awkward synergy, the character is currently dead in the comic books.
TV Guide revealed a trailer as well as much of the voice cast. Jason O'Mara, who plays Bruce Wayne/Batman in "Justice League: War", reprises the role in this next one, implying some rush in production. The rest of the main cast includes Stuart Allan as Damian, Morena Baccarin as Talia, Giancarlo Esposito as Ra's Al Ghul, David McCallum as Alfred, Xander Berkeley as Kirk Langstrom/Man-Bat, and Thomas Gibson as Deathstroke. Sales for these direct to video animated features typically average between two and a half to five million each, although typically those centered around Batman tend to fare the best.
Wonder Woman's "Amazon" show officially dead at The CW!
In a move which was hardly unexpected, The CW network has taken a pass on a Wonder Woman TV series in the immediate future. Announced in September 2012, "Amazon" was pitched as a tale following a younger princess Diana produced by Allan Heinberg, former "Wonder Woman" comic writer and best known for "Grey's Anatomy". The show was put on hiatus with Aron Eli Coleite ("Heroes") working on a new script as of May 2013. CW president Mark Pedowitz stated, "We did not go forward with it. It all depends on the script. We were very careful with Arrow, and we're being very careful with Flash. These are iconic characters, so we're going to be very careful with Wonder Woman. You only get one shot before you get bit."
Not only is The CW airing a second season of "Arrow" and prepping "The Flash" as a spin off, they are moving forward with producing TV shows based on other DC Comics properties such as "Hourman" and "iZombie". Meanwhile, Fox is moving forward with a show about a young Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne called "Gotham" with "Constantine" coming up on NBC.
Lex Luthor joins the Justice League and more comic updates!
Apparently the "Forever Evil" crossover will have a lingering effect in the spring. In April, Superman's arch nemesis will be joining the pages of "Justice League #30" alongside another villain, Captain Cold from the Flash's rogues gallery. Also on the cover are Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Aquaman. Geoff Johns continues to write the series, which is one of the best selling DC Comics from the "New 52" relaunch. Also in April, Jeff Lemire's Canadian based "Justice League United" will debut.
Meanwhile, the creator shuffle continues. Scott Lobdell, last seen being exposed as a con creep, announced that "Teen Titans" will end with its' 30th issue and an annual. Kyle Higgens, writer of "Nightwing", announced that he would no longer be writing the title of April. He wrote the book for almost three years, and a new writer has not been announced.

Prolyl-4-hydroxylation is necessary for proper structural assembly of collagens and oxygen-dependent protein stability of hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs). In vitro function of HIF prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain (PHD) enzymes requires oxygen and 2-oxoglutarate as co-substrates with iron (II) and vitamin C serving as co-factors. While vitamin C deficiency is known to cause the collagen-disassembly disease scurvy, it is unclear whether cellular oxygen sensing is similarly affected. Here we report that vitamin C deprived Gulo(-/-) knock-out mice show normal HIF-dependent gene expression. The systemic response of Gulo(-/-) animals to inspiratory hypoxia, as measured by plasma erythropoietin levels, was similar to animals supplemented with vitamin C. Hypoxic HIF induction was also essentially normal under serum- and vitamin C-free cell culture conditions, suggesting that vitamin C is not required for oxygen sensing in vivo. Glutathione was found to fully substitute for vitamin C requirement of all three PHD isoforms in vitro. Consistently, glutathione also reduced HIF-1α protein levels, transactivation activity and endogenous target gene expression in cells exposed to CoCl(2). A C201S mutation in PHD2 increased basal hydroxylation rates and conferred resistance to oxidative damage in vitro, suggesting that this surface accessible PHD2 cysteine residue is a target of antioxidative protection by vitamin C and glutathione.

If Alicia's striking presence seems familiar, it's not because you're confusing her with Cindy Blackman, Shauney Recke or other brown-skinned drummers with big hair (an all-too-common mistake) it's because she's played with many high-profile singers who got their start on television. She's worked with Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Chris Rene & Colton Dixon. Alicia got her big break when she replaced Kelly Osbourne's drummer on MTV hit reality show, "The Osbournes".
Artist Spotlight
1. What is your schedule like when you are on the road?
It differs a little depending on who I'm on the road with. Right now, I'm touring with Chris Rene (Epic Records). There is a LOT of flying, airports and little sleep involved. I try to hit the gym everyday, I go over our set list & my drum parts on my iPod before the show, we usually do an early soundcheck and sit at the venue all day...drinking large amounts of caffeine and visiting the catering several times. We've been doing the radio tour-thing (stadium, outdoor ampitheater, arena gigs with several other new Pop / Hip Hop artists). It's cool - doing the radio promo tours, you get to play with a lot of the same artists and you become a little touring family.
2. What are some of the things you love about your job?
Everything. I love traveling, meeting fans, waking up in new cities and meeting the crazy locals :) Just being able to play music for a living is such an amazing blessing. I don't take one minute of it for granted.
3. What are some of the drawbacks?
The people in your personal life get mad at you for never being available. Haha.
4. What made you want to play drums, and how did you get started?
I immediately wanted to play drums when I walked into my grandparent's basement and saw my uncle's new drum kit. It was a 1970's Ludwig, stainless steel, 16-piece monstrosity...everything from a 4" roto tom to a 22" concert tom. It was glowing under stage lights and a fog machine on top of a homemade riser. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in all 11 years of my life. My uncle was into the 80's hair metal and hard rock so, that's what I started with. He set up a stereo with a PA system in the basement and we would play along to tapes all day. Haha. I taught myself by drumming along to Dokken, Bullet Boys, Queensryche, Motley Crue and Stryper.
5. Whom did you study with and how did that affect you?
I've actually never studied drumming with a teacher. I studied guitar for 5 years and learned a lot about music, time signatures, etc that way. I think guitar has helped me be a better drummer, in the way that, I know how to complement a musical piece and work creatively, yet tastefully. I'm not one to overplay or compete with other instruments. I'm definitely more of a groove player. As far as drumming, I've always been big on watching videos, live drummers and just playing with people. However, I do want to work with someone now that I've been playing for such a long time.
6. What was your most difficult -or challenging- gig, and how did you handle that?
The Gore Gore Girls gig made me focus on not focusing, if that makes sense. I love GGG's music. I did a 10-country tour with them. It was a Garage Rock gig so, it was a challenge for me at first, to loosen up so much and just have more fun with it as opposed to drumming super tight and precise. Also, all of the songs were up tempo and we were doing the long set / headlining gigs. It was physically demanding to keep up the power and intensity every night but, it was a great gig. Those ladies rock. I did a few gigs with Dawn Robinson of En Vogue. I've been a huge fan of En Vogue since I was 9 years old. Playing with Dawn was an absolute honor. The thing that I worried about most was that - we were playing the hits - the hit songs that Dawn has been doing for 20 years with En Vogue. She was used to hearing them a certain way, she knew the songs and the drumming like the back of her hand. I just wanted to do my best representation of the songs the way she knew them and bring my own style into the mix at the same time.
7. How did you get your current gig?
I was tracking drums in an LA studio, when the producer got a call asking if he knew of any good female drummers, for an upcoming gig on the Ellen DeGeneres show. That gig ended up being Chris Rene. I did the Ellen show with him and then, thankfully, was asked back to be a part of his touring band.
8. Are there certain shows that stick out in your mind above others?
First shows always stick out. I always remember the first shows of any artist that I've worked with. There's always that moment of, wow...how did I end up with THIS gig, or - never thought I'd be playing with these people. Kelly Osbourne at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit sticks out in my mind because my whole family was there. I loved that they were all able to see what I do and that "See mom! Drums really are a real profession". Hahaha. My family has always been very supportive so, it was good to have them there.
9. What was the strangest thing that has happened (or that you have seen,) during a tour?
Well, I met a real live hooker at a Karaoke bar the other night...does that count?? Haha
10. Female drummers are becoming more prevalent. What do you feel you have to offer to other female drummers that may be coming up?
Hopefully, my track record helps inspire young female drummers who might have people around them telling them that drumming is a "guy thing" or that it's not a feminine instrument. If you're good at it and drumming is what you love - then just do it. Go for it and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Growing up, I didn't have many female drumming inspirations. I wanted to be Scott Rockenfield. There may have been female drummers but when I started, outside of Roxy Petrucci, Debbi Peterson and Gina Shock - I never really saw female drummers. Female drummers didn't (and still do not) have the media coverage that male drummers do.
11. What�s your current set-up, and what are you digging about it?
My current touring set up is a Ludwig Classic Maple kit: 22" Kick, 10" Rack tom, 16" Floor. I like a Ludwig 6x12 maple or 5x14 Black Magic as my main snare and an Epic series 6x10 birch/maple/birch side snare. The Epic side snare is a recent addition. It really cracks and adds some nice accents to my sound.
12. How important to you are the drums you play and how do you feel it affects your playing?
I've been a Ludwig girl since the beginning. I've played other drums, I like some of them but Ludwig has always been the most consistant in quality craftsmanship, sound and durability. I feel like Ludwig focuses on the actual drum and sound quality as opposed to a lot of other drum companies focusing on how many flames and finishes they can get into their catalog. In cases where I have to use backline gear on a tour, there's always a sense of relief when I see that they have what I asked for on the rider. If I show up and see a Ludwig - I know what I'm going to get that night. I know what I'm going to sound like.
13. What drew you to Ludwig?
See above :)
14. Can you describe how you tweak your drums to get your personal sound?
I tune according to the type of music I'm doing as well as the room I'm playing. However, I generally prefer a punchy impact. I have the Aquarian Texture Coated Performance II's on my toms. They allow me to have a deep, yet punchy sound. I usually use a Texture Coated Hi-Velocity head on my snare. It's a really versatile head. My kick drum varies the most. I use a few different Aquarian kick heads, either the Clear Super Kick II for a more focused punch, Super Kick Coated double-ply for a bit warmer sound or the Coated Impact III for a dry, darker feel.
16. Who are you major drumming influences?
I LOVE Will Calhoun above all but...also really dig Janet Weiss, Mike Bordin, Matt Cameron, Brendan Canty, Vinnie Paul, Scott Rockenfield, Gerald Heyward, Jean Paul Gaster, Bernard Purdie and Chris Phillips.
17. What are your four favorite albums (drumming or otherwise)?
Four? Seriously? I have to give you at least 12...

World-renowned artist, Makoto Fujiumura, was welcomed by Duke University on March 31st as a Visiting Artist by the Department of Art, Art History and Visual Studies and as part of the Visiting Artist Residency in collaboration with Duke Divinity School.
Fujimura is an artist trained in Nihonga, a Japanese form of painting dating back to the 8th century. As a contemporary Nihonga artist, his work broke from the traditional masters and is a synthesis of the ancient technique and modern influence.
On Thursday, he met with students in the Visual Studies and Visual Arts courses and gave a demonstration on the gilding technique in Nihonga painting. On Friday, Fujimura gave two lectures at the Divinity School about his new project to commemorate the 400th Anniversary of the publishing of the King James Bible: an illumination of The Four Holy Gospels.
The craft of illuminating manuscripts is ancient and its purpose has been described as decorative and a process using gold or silver, or, in some Eastern traditions, paint made from the pigments of earths and minerals. In the simplest sense, the visual image is meant to give light to or illumine the written text. The Lindisfarne Gospels are an example of a traditional illuminated Gospel.
What's different about what Fujimura does is that his illuminations are not traditionally recognizable images but abstract renderings. He has taken the Nihonga technique of waiting for layers of color to dry to a new level by creating worlds rather than figures – but the process of waiting is the same as in the ancient work and something that Fujimura says provides the space to meditate deeply on the text.
It is here in this quiet waiting that time takes hold of repetition, burrows its way into the mind and becomes a way of learning. This is not unlike the traditional Humanities education where the classics were read: Plato and Aristotle ingested so that students would have a canvas on which to shape their newly formed and agile ability to reason.
In modern terminology, education and the humanities is about ingesting new research, finding meaning in an unfamiliar text, taking time to ponder its meaning, and seeking out others who will grapple and argue with the contents that challenge the way one sees. What one does with ones findings can be illuminating not only to the self, but also to others.
Makoto Fujiumura stands in the gap between his given text and naming the meanings that emerge while illuminating them. This spiritual path is what he depicts in his paintings: a place of elegiac color and opaque and translucent light.
(Illumination from the French Book of Hours, ca 1400)

Tbilisi Marks 1989 Soviet Crackdown
- By Unknown
- Apr. 10 1998 00:00
TBILISI, Georgia -- Hundreds of Georgians, including Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze, laid flowers Thursday on a street in downtown Tbilisi where Soviet troops brutally dispersed a pro-independence rally in 1989.
Twenty people, mostly women and children, were killed when Soviet troops moved against protesters who were demanding independence for Georgia and the ouster of its Communist leadership.
"That sacred blood wasn't shed in vain. It will always unite the nation,'' Shevardnadze said. At the time of the crackdown, he was serving as Soviet foreign minister and was outside the country.
The 1989 protest was organized by nationalist Zviad Gamsakhurdia, who became Georgia's first popularly elected president two years later. In early 1992, he was overthrown in a coup by opponents who accused him of dictatorship. Gamsakhurdia died in mysterious circumstances in 1994.
His followers have never recognized the presidency of Shevardnadze, who was elected several months after Gamsakhurdia's ouster. Some 1,000 of them marched across the capital Thursday carrying such slogans as "Down with the junta" and "Shevardnadze is Judas."
The rally wasn't sanctioned by the authorities, but police didn't intervene and it proceeded without incident.
Followers of Gamsakhurdia have been blamed for a Feb. 9 attack on Shevardnadze's motorcade in which up to 20 attackers showered the president's car with bullets and grenades. Shevardnadze was unharmed in the attack.

I bought the L one and it fits very big... The skirt is very large.
I like the material thought, very comfortable.

Alabama emergency officials sounded warning sirens nearly three hours before the tornado hit enterprise high school.
Some people are questioning why schools weren't dismissed earlier.
However, school officials say they had no chance to evacuate earlier, because of the approaching severe weather.
Planning for severe weather is a must when you're dealing with the countless lives of students.
Bay District Schools Safety Manager Mike Jones says every school is required to do at least 10-safety drills a year.
Every room in every school building has the means to monitor weather updates on weather alert radios.
"When that Plectron goes off, you better be listening to it because that's the Emergency Services telling us something's wrong," Jones explains.
Bay HS Principal Larry Bolinger says, "We also have email and we have a safety officer who is in constant contact with all of the agencies. So we're gonna' have the most updated information."
But schools understand parents will always be concerned about potential weather dangers.
"If a parent calls us and says 'I wanna take my child home with me', it's not a problem," Jones says. "Come and get your child and take that child home."
While some parents will chose that option, Jones points out the school buildings are generally the safest place for students to be.
Even portable classrooms are built to withstand 120-130-mile an hour winds; and driving may be your biggest mistake.
"Did you see how many cars were turned upside down on top of other cars with windows just completely smashed out of them? There's no way you're gonna' survive a tornado in an automobile," Jones says.
Jones says they don't encourage parents to call schools during an emergency, but those calls will be answered.
Officials say your child's safety is a top priority.
Local officials say if they decide to dismiss students in the case of a tornado threat, it would happen early on during a tornado watch.
Once a tornado warning goes into effect, schools go into a lock-down mode.

Site PCT02: Dick Cross Wildlife Management Area
This 1400-acre wildlife management area is an excellent place to view waterfowl in the wintertime. Large numbers of ducks and geese congregate in the wetlands along the Roanoke River and Allen Creek. Bufflehead, American coot, ruddy duck, and several other species are usually found in open areas. Make sure to look along the shoreline and in wetland areas to catch a glimpse of more secretive shorebirds such as Virginia rail and common snipe. In February and March, over more open, moist fields, you may be surprised by the intricate courtship displays of the male woodcock, peenting away and flying in complex patterns to impress his mate. A number of bald eagles commonly spend winter months in the vicinity, so visitors may have an opportunity to observe these majestic birds. During the warmer months, beaver are quite active in and around the wetland areas. Look for the telltale conical cut trees to see where they have done their latest construction. Spring and early summer may be time to see a young bear wandering to find his own territory. The rivers through central Virginia often create travel corridors for many large mammals to cross the Commonwealth. With the many wetlands in this area, there is ample opportunity to see several species of dragon- and damselflies guarding their territories.
Leaving Carter Lane Trail return toUS 58 and turn right (east) and continue 5.2 miles to SR 4/Buggs Island Road. Turn right (south) and go 4.5 miles to Tailrace Park on the left. At Castle Heights turn left into the main entrance to Dick Cross WMA and follow the road approximately 2.0 miles to a gate at the marsh.

Vielles Vignes. Alte Reben. Viñas Viejas. Vinhas Velhas. These terms appear, if not frequently, then with some regularity on wine labels throughout the world. Here in California we're treated to "old vines," "ancient vines," and sometimes even "century vines," thanks to some particularly well-preserved specimens throughout the state.
Winegrowers sometimes make a big deal out of old vines, particularly when they are in possession of them.
But do they really matter? And if so, how?
These were two of many questions that I set out to answer with a panel of winemakers and their wines last week at the In Pursuit of Balance tasting here in San Francisco. The seminar was streamed live, and has now been archived, so I thought I'd share it with you. The conversation was excellent and the wines outstanding.
From left to right in the video, my panelists were: Steve Matthiasson Winemaker, Matthiasson; Michael McNeill, winemaker at Hanzell; Adam Tolmach, winemaker at Ojai Cellars; and Pax Mahle, winemaker at Wind Gap.
The wines we tasted, in order were:
2012 Wind Gap "Woodruff Vineyard" Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains (old vines)
2012 Wind Gap "James Berry Vineyard" Chardonnay, Paso Robles (old vines)
2011 Matthiasson "Michael Mara" Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast (old vines)
2011 Matthiasson "Linda Vista" Chardonnay, Napa Valley (young vines)
2012 Ojai "Bien Nacido Vineyard" Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley (planted 2002)
2012 Ojai "Bien Nacido Vineyard" Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley (planted 1973)
2012 Hanzell "de Brye Vineyard, East Slope - barrel sample" Pinot Noir, Sonoma Valley (1999 planting)
2012 Hanzell "de Brye Vineyard - barrel sample" Pinot Noir, Sonoma Valley (1976 planting)
2012 Hanzell "Ambassador's 1953 Vineyard - barrel sample" Pinot Noir, Sonoma Valley (1953 planting - oldest Pinot Noir vineyard in America)
Unfortunately, because I was busy running the seminar, I didn't get a chance to make notes on these wines to share with you.
Enjoy the conversation.
So, what do you think. What are your experiences with old vines. How would you answer the question as to whether, all other things being equal, do older vines make better wines than young vines?

Does anyone have an update on Watson and QB Sam Richardson? Know Richardson stated ankle was very sore post game during Friday interviews. Never heard how bad Jansen Watson was hurt. In my opinion we really need Watson healthy for Tech game next week. Tech's passing game is much better than UT's.
I realize Nigel Tribune is young and talented, but he was a deer in the headlights versus Mike Davis before we switched Sam E Richardson on him. We need Watson out there instead of Tribune. Also, how much did Charlie Rogers play Thursday night? I think a key matchup versus Tech will be Brackens/Rogers against Jace Amaro, perhaps the best tight end in the Big 12.

Former White House Press Secretary James Brady died today. When James Brady was shot alongside President Reagan, that moment underscored violence by handguns in America, as if we needed more reminders. Presidents and politicians, famous rock stars, and masses of regular people are gunned down all of the time at the hands of violent people who have ready access to guns and ammo. They do so because the Constitution guarantees individuals the right to bear arms.
At the time the Constitution was written, America was a frontier land. Guns were needed to hunt for game to eat. There was insufficient law enforcement and military security to protect the civilian population. Citizens were enlisted to assist in self protection. As the nation matured, citizens created governments with local police departments and state police departments to protect them against criminals. Coincident with that maturity should have been an increase in gun control, or a decrease in guns among the people.
Why? Here are some good reasons:
- Proliferation of guns in communities among citizens increases the probability that guns will be used by criminals or by mentally disturbed people in committing crimes.
- Proliferation of guns in communities increases the probability of accidents resulting in death or injury.
- The adage that guns are needed by citizens to offset abuse by government is obsolete.
Explore these ideas further in the annotated description. Also, consider the gun advocate's rebuttal.
- Guns are a last line of defense
"There are those who say that owning guns to defend ourselves against a tyrannical government is useless, because the modern American Military is so powerful."
- Need them to protect the family.
- We arm ourselves because we have to and because we can.
Most people today favor more gun control if not outlawing them altogether. Eventually, if we live long enough, maybe We the People will motivate our elected representatives to help us all come to our senses about this. It would be a wonderful day when the James Brady laws become enacted.
1. Proliferation of guns in communities among citizens increases the probability that guns will be used by criminals or by mentally disturbed people in committing crimes.
"There is a pervasive paranoia that has gripped the segment of the US that resists all gun restrictions, even when in the country's best interests. For example, the writers to the appropriation bill that passed this month restricts ATF from tracking stolen weapons. The ATF cannot stop terrorists from buying guns, because by NRA endorsed law, it cannot compare gun sales to the terrorist watch list. Gun owners by virtue of their gun related purchases, their memberships in gun clubs,their memberships in the NRA and their votes for pro-gun Congressmen/women, support the rights of criminals and terrorists to access weapons. This seems illogical and anti-society. It jeopardizes their safety, the safety of their families as well as their neighbors."
2. Proliferation of guns in communities increases the probability of accidents resulting in death or injury
"In 2010, guns took the lives of 31,076 Americans in homicides, suicides and unintentional shootings. This is the equivalent of more than 85 deaths each day and more than three deaths each hour.1
73,505 Americans were treated in hospital emergency departments for non-fatal gunshot wounds in 2010.2
Firearms were the third-leading cause of injury-related deaths nationwide in 2010, following poisoning and motor vehicle accidents.3
Between 1955 and 1975, the Vietnam War killed over 58,000 American soldiers – less than the number of civilians killed with guns in the U.S. in an average two-year period.4
In the first seven years of the U.S.-Iraq War, over 4,400 American soldiers were killed. Almost as many civilians are killed with guns in the U.S., however, every seven weeks.5"
3. The adage that guns are needed by citizens to offset abuse by government is obsolete.
What do you want, a guided missile in every garage?
We the People control our government through the American political system. If you believe that government is somehow threatening to you, see a psychologist and get checked out. Of course, if you are sane, how about becoming more involved in your citizenship?

Like the rest of the campus community, I was shocked and saddened by the senseless shooting that left an ECU student and another innocent bystander dead in downtown Greenville. On behalf of the university, I extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to the families and friends of the victims.
In times such as these, as we search for answers and wonder what we should perhaps do differently, it is important to remember that East Carolina University is a safe campus. This is especially important for parents to know as they bring new students to campus for orientation sessions. Yes, we have crime and occasional violence on and near our campus, but those events are more a reflection of the society we live in than a constant threat to our students, employees and visitors. The university's annual crime and safety report, required by federal law, is available at this link: Annual Security Report.
We work every day to make the campus a safer environment. We have, for instance, in recent years invested in new technology that enables us to better communicate with individuals on campus and with neighboring law enforcement agencies (outdoor speakers; video message boards; VOIP telephones; text-messaging systems; new radio systems). We have increased the number and visibility of our police officers. We have hired a new police chief and are working on a reorganization of our campus safety reporting lines.
We have also ramped up our training and preparedness: We have conducted joint exercises with other law-enforcement agencies both on and off-campus in preparation for such incidents as chemical spills and active shooters. We have developed detailed plans for other safety threats such as the pandemic flu.
And we are pleased with the commitment and action of the city of Greenville in dealing with crime in the city. Since William Anderson arrived in Greenville as chief of the city's police force three years ago, he has made great strides in confronting crime throughout the city. He has initiated anti-gang efforts and he has increased downtown patrols. Cooperation between ECU Police and the Greenville force has never been greater; Chief Anderson has noted that GPD has "a great working relationship" with the ECU force. It is also important to note that the Greenville mayor is a retired ECU faculty member and one member of the City Council is a member of our faculty. Obviously they are committed to a safe environment for their university.
In closing, I believe that Bill Koch, our associate vice chancellor for environmental health and safety, summarized the current situation very well when he said:
"Continuous improvement is the foundation of our safety programs at ECU. Every incident requires us to assess our plans and make the necessary adjustments to help our students stay safe.
"As we mourn our loss, we strengthen our safety commitment to our students and their families. We have already begun this process by working with the Greenville Police Department and other campus units to assess and further improve safety for our students on campus and in the surrounding area."

The folks at "Once Upon a Time" are going to be airing a special prior to the spring premiere, entitled 'Once Upon A Time: Wicked is Coming.' According to the Feb. 20 report on Zap 2 It, it will bring longtime fans and first time viewers up to date on the goings on in Storybrooke and the Fairy Tale Land as well as giving in us a season 3 preview of things to come.
Here's the press release for the special:
Our heroes' journey from breaking the curse, dealing with the ramifications of magic in our world, travelling into Neverland to save Henry and their upcoming battle with the Wicked Witch of the West will be explored in anticipation of "Once Upon a Time's" exciting midseason return, on "Once Upon a Time: Wicked Is Coming," Sunday, March 9 on ABC.
The special will feature the cast and executive producers talking about what's happened so far and what we can expect in the future. New viewers will be brought up to speed on the show and faithful fans will be filled in on more details.
Things that will be looked in depth are the ways in which family is important in the show, the journey taken to break the original curse and what magic in the modern world did. It will also look at the rescue party that went to Neverland to save Henry and it will explore the upcoming good versus evil battle with the Wicked Witch.
Here is the press release for the second half of season 3 of "Once Upon A time" and many of these storylines will be touched on in the special.
"All is not well back in the Enchanted Forest when Hook comes calling on Emma in New York City in an attempt to jog her memory so that she can once again help her fairy tale family and friends out of a desperate situation. Everyone she holds dear is in danger as a new foe emerges – the Wicked Witch of the West (Rebecca Mader, "Lost"). Hook now must enlist Emma in an epic struggle that spans worlds – with the highest stakes possible – the fate of her family. No one remembers how they were transported back or the past year they had spent back in Fairy Tale Land. But someone in town is responsible for this curse, and all clues point to the Wicked Witch of the West, whose agenda in our world is a mystery. In an attempt to break the curse, new fairytale characters will be revealed and old acquaintances will be revisited. But not everyone can be trusted."
"'Once Upon A Time: Wicked is Coming" will air on Sunday, March 9 and will be followed by the season premiere of "Once Upon a Time" with episode 3X12 "New York City Serenade."

College Hockey:Brown Cruises Past Iona
Haggett, Robinson Provide Scoring, Rowan Gets Shutout
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The Brown Bears continued their roll with three more power-play goals in a 4-0 shutout of visiting Iona. Linemates Les Haggett and Brent Robinson were the offensive providers for Brown, as they chipped in two in the first and two in the second to cruise to the win.
Sophomore Scott Rowan made his first NCAA start in net for Brown and stopped the few scoring chances the Gaels could muster. Opportunities are few and far between for Rowan in the backup role behind All-America Yann Danis. But Tuesday he impressed with steady play and good stops.
"I feel like I have a lot to prove behind Yann," Rowan said. "Watching him has really made me a much better goalie. But today was really a team shutout."
The Bears controlled the puck and kept it in the Iona zone for most of the game, but it took power-play chances to net the first three goals. Brown's entire team moved the puck well and took advantage of slower Gael defenders to create plenty of scoring chances.
The power play has been key to a recent scoring surge from a Brown team which is more known for tight defensive play and good goaltending. Last Saturday against Holy Cross, the Bears scored all four goals on the power play. Tonight, the veteran power-play group tallied three more times.
"I think we have never really had a problem moving the puck well," Haggett said, referring to his team's power play. "Earlier this season we had trouble burying. It's important for us to match their intensity when we're up a man."
Sophomore Haggett scored twice and assisted on another one for Robinson. Both Robinson and linemate Kirley also had two assists. This line, which stays together in odd-man situations, has tremendous chemistry and talent. They have meshed lately, leading the Bears on this recent four-game winning streak. Robinson has 14 points in the last four games and has already surpassed his team-leading total from last year.
Brown has been on an incredible streak of success at home, dating back to last season's late run at the playoffs. The Bears are 14-1-2 since last January in Meehan Auditorium.
"We've had a lot of success here and the idea is to keep it up so we can host a playoff weekend at home," said head coach Roger Grillo.
This weekend Brown travels to Merrimack for another nonconference matchup. Iona will look to rebound from a tough string of losses against Sacred Heart this weekend.

Thursday Night Football tormented our hearts and souls, as I can only imagine the remainder of week six will do to us all. Not sure what I'm talking about? Chris Johnson played like a man with a pulse and working legs, Baron Batch and Jamie Harper found the end-zone, Matt Hasselbeck actually played well, and Rashard Mendehall didn't do jack and got hurt (achilles).
Needless to say, it wasn't the best night possibly for fantasy football. Perhaps if we had issued a last second decision column prior to the game, things would have gone differently. Not? Yeah, probably not. But we'll try it for the games that are left over anyways, as we try to right ships, keep undefeated teams humming, and embarrass your brother in law and/or wife.
Without much further haste (because you know I had to have at least a little), let's dive into some week six issues:
Robert Griffin III, QB, Washington Redskins (Head)
RG3 should be fine to go, but the Vikes are no push-over anymore and he could easily get hurt again. As crazy as it sounds, week six might not be a bad time to let him sit one out.
Matt Cassel, QB, Kansas City Chiefs (Head)
You probably don't want/need Cassel anyways, but he's not going to play this week. So go get Brady Quinn in your lineup. No, I'm kidding.
John Skelton, QB, Arizona Cardinals (Ankle)
Skelton is nearing 100%, but it looks like the Cards are going to play it ultra safe and keep Kevin Kolb in for now. Translation: they trust Skelton even less than Kolb, and that's pretty telling. Translation within translation: who cares, just don't ever start either of these jackwagons.
Jahvid Best, RB, Detroit Lions (Head)
Best could be getting closer to a return, but the Lions certainly aren't letting anyone know how close. He's an interesting waiver wire stash piece right now, but that's really about it.
Donald Brown, RB, Indianapolis Colts (Knee)
Brown is out 2-3 weeks with a bum knee, giving Vick Ballard a crack at taking over as the top running back in Indy.
Peyton Hillis, RB, Kansas City Chiefs (Ankle)
Hillis is slated to miss his third straight game. It's probably a good thing, as Tampa Bay's run defense isn't very forgiving.
Ben Tate, RB, Houston Texans (Toe)
Tate missed last week and could miss this matchup with the Packers, too. Houston would be smart to rest him another week, and you would be, too.
Hakeem Nicks, WR, New York Giants (Knee)
Nicks has traveled with the Giants to take on the 49ers, but is looking to be a game-time call. It's not the best matchup in the world and he's not 100%, so I'm not ready to go all-in with him.
Greg Jennings, WR, Green Bay Packers (Groin)
Jennings is a very shaky option this week and is almost certainly going to sit another week with a sore groin. It's the smart thing to do, as he simply hasn't been effective all year.
Percy Harvin, WR, Minnesota Vikings (Hamstring)
Harvin practiced in full on Friday and looks ready to roll against the Redskins. He's a beast and the Redskins give up fantasy football production as much as anyone else, so you have to keep him in your lineup.
Pierre Garcon, WR, Washington Redskins (Foot)
Garcon is still dealing with foot issues and hasn't been healthy or effective since week one. The Vikings offer potential over the top, but I'd refrain from taking a swing (and a miss) on this one. Let Garcon sit for another week.
Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Oakland Raiders (Head)
DHB is getting closer to returning from a concussion, but is still no lock to play this week. Atlanta isn't the best matchup, anyways, so I'd sit him this week.
Danny Amendola, WR, St. Louis Rams (Collarbone)
Amendola is out for at least six weeks with a jacked up clavicle, so he's probably safe to drop to your waiver wire. In the interim, it's anyone's guess who kills it for the Rams in the passing game. My guess is actually no one, but if someone has to it looks like Brandon Gibsin is the leader at the moment.
Jerome Simpson, WR, Minnesota Vikings (Leg)
Simpson has been debating surgery, rest, or playing all week, so he's got to be a major risk. He has a nice matchup but he hasn't exactly been on fire since returning two weeks ago. I'd sit him this week and find a safer option.
Stephen Hill, WR, New York Jets (Hamstring)
Hill has missed the past two weeks and hasn't done anything worthy of note since two week one scores, but there's a chance he returns this week against the Colts. It's a solid matchup, but knowing the Jets' offense and his raw ability, he's clearly not even close to a reliable option. I'd look elsewhere for receiver help.
Aaron Hernandez, TE, New England Patriots (Ankle)
The Hern could make it back this week, but did not hit the practice field on Friday, and is still a full-blown questionable for Sunday. You're taking a risk even if he's suiting up and I'd lean toward sitting him for at least this week to see where that ankle is at.
Jermichael Finley, TE, Green Bay Packers (Shoulder)
Finley is likely going to be a game-time decision with a shoulder injury. If he plays, he might actually finally do something against a Texans unit sans Brian Cushing. Then again, he'll probably just drop everything thrown his way.
Dustin Keller, TE, New York Jets (Hamstring)
Keller is set to make his return to the field, which will be his first action since week one, when he caught one ball for seven yards. I'm not overly amped and I doubt he crushes it in his first game back.
Nate Kaeding, K, San Diego Chargers (Groin)
Nick Novak has been shaky as heck, so Chargers fans everywhere probably want Kaeding back ASAP. Unfortunately, they'll probably have to wait at least one more week.
William Powell vs. LaRod Stephens-Howling vs. Alfonzo Smith
Some are rolling with LSH here, but I don't buy him as an every down guy. Or really even a sometimes down guy. He's tiny and ineffective inside, and I see him as a bit player. Apparently he has conditioning issues, anyways. Smith is an average talent, so he's out, too. That leaves the reigns to Powell in place of the injured Ryan Williams and Beanie Wells.
I actually was very high on Powell after a terrific preseason, and can see him blossoming into one of those special finds that went undrafted but shocks the NFL world. I don't know if he'll be a beast this week against the Bills, but he should get the most touches and at the very worst give you solid Flex value. Arizona's o-line is awful and struggles to open up holes, but Powell has run the best out of all Cardinals backs dating back to the summer. I like him to prove a lot of people wrong.
Alex Green vs. James Starks
Again, same kind of deal here. A lot of people think Starks will get his chance again soon and finally get it right, but I don't see it. He's an average talent and reminds me a lot of Brandon Jackson. Green isn't a big guy, but he's shifty and explosive, and probably a little more versatile than Starks. Look for Green to get the start and be more productive. A worthy note: Brian Cushing is out for the year for Houston, which could mean the Texans' vaunted run defense may struggle a bit – at least initially.
On the flip-side, here are some bad matchup one-liners (aka, don't trust these guys with your mortgage cash):
For any lingering issues or question, comment below or hit my up on Twitter. Good luck to everyone in week six!
Hey, finally something goes as we thought it should. Thanks for the input
yeah, glad to see Gates work out. Rivers' implosion was utterly classic, though. worst thing I've ever seen, probably. that dude cost me like $600 bucks over at draftstreet. I was 9 pts out of 2nd place in two big money leagues and his 6 turnovers ruined me.
You could be right, as Gates hasn't done jack in the 4 games he's been healthy enough to play. But you have to think Champ Bailey will take away one of the receivers and Floyd and Royal aren't even 100% healthy.
I can't see how Gates finishes this game without 50+ yds and a TD.
Thanks, thats how i feel… just keep thinking after the game Dressen will have another TD and Gates will have 3/26, but its definately more probable Gates does better
Need 10 pts tonight. i have Gates but even though its crazy, Dressen or Tamme have a better chance at getting 10pts than Gates. What do you think, stick with gates even though hes doing nada or chase a Dressen TD
I would personally stick with Gates. He is DUE, my friend, and division rivalry + prime time can bring out the best in him. Rivers likes to keep his guys happy so you know he's gunning to get Gates going this week.
Relying on Tamme or Dreessen is by far a bigger risk than hoping Gates finally comes through.
.5ppr Start 2:
Nicks, Syd Rice, Bey?
Vick Ballard or James Jones for flex? and RG3 or Luck?
Start Doug Martin or Vick Ballard?
With Floyd listed as questionable for MNF, would you rather play him or Fred Jackson this week at FLEX?
Should I go with Fred Jackson or Stevie Johnson as a flex play in a PPR league?
Pick 3 please: Dez, Cruz, VJax, Roddy. I'm havin trouble deciding between Dez and VJax.
Only question I can't decideis the easiest….Blair Walsh or Matt Bryant?
RG3 or Stafford?
Have a few start toss ups…Randall Cobb or Mike Williams in my Flex? .5PPR.
Matt Bryant or Blair Walsh at kicker? I have Walsh but Bryant at home in the dome…also own Matt Ryan and Roddy.
lastly…have MIN and SEA Defense…have MIN starting but PHI is on waivers…?
RG3 or Vick this week?
Thanks for the help mate. Thinking I'll give RG3 a run because as you say Vick is still have some issues that hold him back from being fantasy superstar.
Eli or Rivers? Dont know if I can trust Rivers, but the 49ers scare me
Would you sit AJ for Reggie Wayne in my flex??ppr. Julio and harvin are my other wr
Realize Barden is actually probable. Does that put a damper on Randle and make Barden the better bet for WR3 in NYG if Nicks is out?
Would you rather have Manningham or Randle as an emergency backup in case Nicks doesn't go tomorrow? PPR league.
Randle. He saw the ball a good amount last week and Giants pass more than 49ers.
10 team PPR: which WR rides the bench this week, Nicks, Maclin, or Decker?
Nicks might answer that for you with his bum knee. Monitor his status and if he's out or known to be limited, he's the odd man out. If he's a full-go, however, that changes things. If you have to pick between Maclin or Decker, I think you have to go Decker. He's been a really solid PPR option and Maclin has been quiet since getting hurt in week 3.
I have been having trouble all year on my Flex, RB or WR? I am only in an 8 team league, so my team is fairly stacked. This week I went with the overwhelming opinion of RB, who for me is DMC, I chose him over Mike Wallace. Now I doubt DMC scores as many fantasy points as Wallace did, so I am asking do you support me just playing best matchup regardless of position at the FLEX? Or is the smart move playing RB more often then not. Non Ppr by the way. Thanks
I personally prefer a RB in my Flex as long as it makes sense. PPR leagues can mess with that logic BUT since your league isn't a PPR league, I think playing the RB makes more sense. The big thing there is the RB (especially DMC) gets way more touches than your average WR.
It might depend who the options are, but normally if they're even remotely on the same playing field, I'm starting the RB over the WR.
I'm not starting Steven Jackson over A.J. Green, but I'd take Jackson over, say, Brian Hartline or Sidney Rice.
R.Bush or Run DMC? I have Mathews & Rice,also. Only can start 3…ppr
PPR or not, I think you have to stick with your studs. Bush is solid and I actually like him this week, but he's not quite 100%. Go with DMC, Mathews and Rice.
So, I'm going back and forth on Leshoure, Ridley or SJax this week. All three have tough run matchups…thoughts?
Yeah, all have brutal matchups. S-Jax has been cold all year and he faces Miami, who is actually the stingiest in yds per game allowed on the ground. Leshoure is equally tough to trust due to having a great game in his debut and a stinker in his second game.
Ridley has a horrible matchup, but he's really been a machine overall on the year and its really tough to go against the Pats offense. I'll rank them Ridley, Leshoure, Jackson for week six.
Would it be crazy for me to start Vick Ballard over Stevan Ridley this week?
Not crazy, no. I'm still thinking Ridley is the guy to use, though. The Seahawks are a stiff matchup, but this is still the Patriots we're talking about and Ridley has three 100+ rushing games and 4 TDs on the year already.
Consider this, too: Ridley hasn't touched the ball less than 13 times in any game and four of five games had him having 20+ touches. The logic says stick with Ridley.
Opinion on flex: Bowe or VBallard?
Gotta go Bowe, even with Brady Quinn in. Bucs give up passing yards and Bowe should still be solid. I think Ballard has a chance but it's his first start and on the road.

What's in a name?
As is always the case when a new car is launched, a lot of thinking goes into the selection of a name. The name must be readily pronounceable in all the new car's target markets and must be neither inappropriate nor obscene. Furthermore it must be evocative of the image the manufacturer wishes to portray and should also draw on the manufacturer's past while being up to date.

When I tie my huge round tits up nice and tight so the skin is taut and my nipples tingle...
When I put the biggest suction cups I have found on my rosy pink nipples and squeeze them, one after the other in rhythm like I'm being milked...
When I put on the darkest red lipstick I can find and slide my lips across each other, imagining the warm musky stiff cock sliding between them...
When I put on fishnet stockings and slide them up over my rump, feeling them caress my skin like a man's hands...

The Global Warming Cult and the Death of Science
by Daniel Greenfield:
At the end of last year, the media widely trumpeted the "recantation" by Richard Muller, a physics professor at Berkeley. Muller's confession of faith was met with the unreserved glee of fanatics who believe that conversion equals validation of the True Faith. Now Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt, a prominent German chemistry professor and green activist, announced that he is coming out with a book breaking with the Warmist view. Naturally, this recantation wouldn't receive nearly the same prominence, except when the inevitable stories kick in about Vahrenholt being a tool of the oil companies.
But set aside the partisan bickering, and one professor accepting a view he had formerly rejected, while another rejects a view he had formerly accepted, is all part of the normal scientific debate. The journey from hypothesis to rock solid consensus is a long one, and it doesn't end just because Al Gore makes a documentary or a few ads show crying polar bears. Positions are argued, minds change and then a century later the graduate students have fun mocking the ignorance of both sides. That's science.
Unfortunately, the Cult of Warm doesn't accept that there is a debate.
