The Kansas City Chiefs announced the release of 11 players on Monday morning and also placed safety Sanders Commings on injured reserve for the season, one day before the first NFL cut-down deadline.
The eleven players released were:
- WR Deon Anthony
- DL Jairus Campbell
- DT Jermelle Cudjo
- WR Weston Dressler
- G Otis Hudson
- WR Jerrell Jackson
- CB Brandon Jones
- CB Vernon Kearney
- S Jerron McMillian
- TE Adam Schiltz
- WR Darryl Surgent
There were no real surprises in this round of cuts even though Chiefs fans have been hearing Weston Dressler's name since he signed as a free agent during the off-season. At the time he was signed, the former Canadian League standout was considered a favorite to replace All-Pro kick returner Dexter McCluster on the roster after McCluster left the Chiefs to sign with Tennessee as a free agent.
Unfortunately for Dressler, the Chiefs added rookies De'Anthony Thomas and Albert Wilson to the roster since then and the two have played well enough to make Dressler expendable.
The placement of Commings on IR is a serious blow to the Chiefs secondary. The coaching staff believed Commings had a great chance to be the starting free safety next to All-Pro Eric Berry. Unfortunately for the second year in a row, Commings suffered a season-ending injury and may have blown his last chance with the Chiefs. He has appeared in two regular season games and has one tackle.
After these moves, Kansas City's active roster currently sits at 78 players and they will have to cut three more players before Tuesday afternoon.
Each NFL roster must be cut down to a maximum of 75 players by Tuesday, Aug. 26 at 3 p.m. CT. The league's final roster cut-down to 53 players must take place before 3 p.m. CT on Saturday, Aug. 30. The Chiefs wrap up their preseason Thursday night in Green Bay with a 6 p.m. CT game against the Packers at Lambeau Field.

Flash Fringe Review, 8-28: Shiney
& Soulless
Shua No Shuah Thing
By Tara Zahra
Copyright 2001 Tara Zahra
In the intimate space of the Lower
East Side's University Settlement, Shua! Dance Group gave its audience all the
elements one might associate with "fringe," for better or worse. There was the
visible energy of a group performing its first evening-length work in NYC, in
this case called "Shine Down On Us." Moments of innovation or at least deliberate
unease. A warm, community feeling in a small friendly audience of like-minded
folks. But also, in this entry to the NYC Fringe festival, choices that felt at
times like parodies of fringeness: a seemingly random slide show projected onto
a white screen. A dancer who sat in the audience with us during the Pause (and
not for us to question!). A cacophonous synthesizer score, and slightly too self-indulgent
sequences with no score at all. Overall, a hard sell for anyone not already taken
by modern dance.
The choreography, by Joshua Bisset,
carried echoes of Cunningham and Cage, with movement (often minimalist and repetitive)
itself as the subject, and partnering sequences full of playful manhandling (and
at times self-abuse), carried out in androgenous polyester gray tunics with crayon
orange panels. This is, personally speaking, an aesthetic that somehow leaves
me empty, but I was glad to finally figure out why: Thrift-store gray androids
dancing to synthesizer music simply don't ring true to me as a statement on or
expression of modernity. Maybe it's meant to be an anti-statement, a deliberate
attempt not to entertain or edify. Maybe it works as a kitschy way of poking fun
at someone's 1970s futuristic fantasies, the dance equivalent of a bell-bottom
revival. But that's not enough to sustain me for an hour.
The most interesting moments of the
work to me were therefore when the dancers endowed their android vessels with
unexpected moments of selfhood. Bisset speaking in the middle of his own solo,
for example. Nothing seems to evoke the self more than a voice, even when it is
simply chanting something deliberately cryptic and nonsensical, like, "Actually,
it is quite hard to stand up." I was also taken by the partnering sequences performed
by Bisset and Geok Tin-Tay and Rachel Cohen, in which moments of real facial expression
and communication disrupted the glazed feel of much of the work. Finally, there
was a sequence near the end of the second movement in which four of the dancers
crawled on their hands and knees while Rita Bezalel sang in Hebrew (a little too
much soul, too suddenly, too jarring, perhaps, but still an interesting moment
of contrast). The work seemed at its best as well when the choreography was fast,
intricate, and loud (lots of foot stomping) -- when it looked a little like work
rather than the coincidental movements of vessels-not-in-control-of their-bodies.
But that's again a bias toward entertainment, for those were also moments in which
the dancers' (considerable) technical skills were most blatantly on display.

The casual dining chain competition is getting to look more and more like a high-stakes poker game. Raise. Raise again. Raise yet again. All in!
The 900 TGI Fridays venues on Monday topped all their competiters' discount deals on Monday when they unveiled "Endless Appetizers" program for $10 per person. The promotion will run through Sunday, August 24.
The company has Upstate New York venues in Guilderland, Clifton Park, Wilton, Vestal, Big Flats, Buffalo, Amherst, Cheektowaga, Rochester, Greece, Victor, Syracuse and DeWitt.
Customers will be able to choose one appetizer from a list of the restaurant's most popular starters and receive unlimited servings of that same appetizer during their visit. The appetizers are Loaded Potato Skins, Garlic and Basil Bruschetta, Mozzarella Sticks, Boneless Buffalo Wings, Tuscan Spinach Dip, Crispy Green Bean Fries and Seared Pot Stickers.
What about sneaky eating that might make the "endless" promise difficult to honor? Chief Marketing Officer Brian Gies said that sharing of the deal appetizers would be discouraged although "at the end of the day, our servers aren't policemen. We're not going to slap someone's hand if they reach over and share someone else's mozzarella sticks."
TGI Fridays, founded in New York City in 1965, is in the process of being sold by longtime-parent Carlson to private-equity firms Sentinel Capital Partners and TriArtisan Capital Partners, a deal that is to be completed this month. Carlson, headquartered in Minneapolis, also owns more than 1,340 hotels, including the Radisson brand.

The effects of Election Day vote centers on voter experiences
1. Introduction
Election Day vote centers, first adopted in Larimer County, Colorado in 2003, were used in 21 Colorado counties and a number of counties in Texas and Indiana in the 2008 Presidential Election. Election Day vote centers are intended to make Election Day voting more convenient and accessible and thereby increase voter turnout, especially
among infrequent voters. The evidence to date demonstrates that vote centers have had a significant and positive effect on voter turnout, especially among infrequent voters (Stein and Vonnahme 2008; 2009). Why?
In this paper we examine how the attributes of Election Day vote centers shape the voting experience. Our focus is on how different voting systems effect voter satisfaction with voting technology; paper versus direct recorded electronic (DRE) voting machine, the places at which voters vote, the number of races voters ballot in, voter
confidence that their ballot will be counted accurately and the time voters spend waiting to vote and to cast their vote. Our central thesis is that voting, especially for the first time and infrequent voters is an 'acquired taste." Voters rely on a learning mechanism for determining the likely costs and benefits of voting when deciding whether or not to vote.
Positive voting experiences reinforce and increase the likelihood that the satisfied voter will vote again.
Three questions motivate our research:
1. Do vote centers provide the voter a better voting experience?
2. Why do vote centers provide a better voting experience?
3. Is the effect of vote centers on the voter's experience different for frequent and infrequent voters?
Section 2 reviews current research on convenience voting and explicates the reasons underlying the adoption of Election Day vote centers and how this method of voting might influence voter satisfaction and voter turnout. Section 3 and 4 presents a research design and measures for testing our hypotheses about how vote centers effect
voter satisfaction and participation. We provide the estimation results in section 5 drawing on an exit poll conducted on Election Day 2008 in Colorado. We conclude with a discussion of how experiences with Election Day vote centers might be used in precinct voting systems.

Briones published in Library of New Testament Study series
Dr. David Briones, assistant professor of theology and ministry at Sterling College, has presented several lectures on the apostle Paul at conferences and in the classroom. In November, his work on Paul can be on your living room bookshelf. Briones's Ph.D. thesis on Paul's financial policy will be published as a part of the Library of New Testament Studies series by T&T Clark. The LNTS series focuses on work in three primary categories: historical perspectives, studies using social-science and literary theory, and developing theological, cultural and contextual perspectives.
"Many scholars believe that Paul is completely inconsistent in his financial dealings with his churches because he accepted money from some churches but rejected it from others," said Briones. "I argue, however, that his financial policy is not only consistent but also socially and theologically strategic. He only accepts gifts from churches that embody a Christ-centered pattern of living and that recognize God as the source of all their possessions. From this, it becomes evident why Paul would accept financial gifts from some churches but not from others."
Briones has presented several papers to the Evangelical Theological Society, the Society of Biblical Literature and the Institute for Biblical Research. He has also published articles with internationally-recognized journals: New Testament Studies and the Journal for the Study of the New Testament.

Microsoft shows off Windows Phone 7 games
Months before the release
BIG GAMER EVENT Gamescom 2010 in Cologne, Germany has been Microsoft's venue for announcing its Windows Phone 7 games that it thinks will set it apart from its competitors.
The video games will be available for Windows Phone 7 at launch or shortly after with 50 titles that are a mix of new and old. The choices are designed to target casual and hardcore gamers. The games include Bejeweled, Uno, Game Chest and a collection of card and board games.
The Vole also announced that its Windows Phone 7 games will be linked to Xbox LIVE. There seems to be an indication of a tie in between the games console and the phone. This includes games like CarneyVale: Showtime, which will be ready to play this fall when the phone launches.
Microsoft indicated that it is marketing the launch of the Windows Phone 7 games more like it would a games console. Which is fair enough as it has done rather well at that, rather than like its phones where it has been pretty pants. µ

KENN is still happy now that his newest EP, We Killed KENN, it out on iTunes, Amazon and [[KennJams]]. The six-track set is bright, brash and morbidly coquettish to boot. He may have taken the time to get engaged and live his privacy, but he still eager to bring out the music and question those who are comfortably following social expectative.
KENN, whose "Still Pretty'' made the list of the 30 best songs of 2013 you have probably not heard, previously stated that the track "is an interesting story. I heard all these over sexualized songs by female artist like "S&M" by Rihanna or "If You Seek Amy" by Britney Spears and I thought it would be interesting to hear a male voice singing the same sort of song and see the reaction. I like challenging gender roles. So that was the starting point. Think of it a s a really gay answer to Shania Twain's "Any Man of Mine" two decades later."
The out singer-songwriter is making a point about gender ideals in society, but how does his sexual orientation inspire his work?
"My homosexuality really only comes into play when I am writing and producing my songs. It's just another attribute of mine that seeps it's way into the music I write. I like to think that my queerness has and will have no impact as I move though my music career."
KENN takes his work seriously but that does not mean he is not having fun. His imagery is bright, vibrant and in your face. The cover image of the EP is serious but mainstream, think Terry Richardson. With images showcasing his chest tattoo, being a sexy horse, and telling the masses to get over homosexuality, KENN is always ready for a message. He says "as far as my photography goes, I work almost exclusively with Andi Hedrick. I pretty much decided on a direction and concept for the album and then start developing cover ideas with Andi."
Being an independent and self-promoting artist these days has its ups and downs. The internet is at one's disposal, but does releasing digitally make it easier for those making it on their own?
"I personally love this new digital age of music. It's the best thing that ever happened to the indie artist. Now musicians have abilities to crowd fund, distribute to all major digital stores or even independently distribute. And the social networking tools available now allow musicians to market their music worldwide without a label. The only downside is that now these tools are at everyone's fingertips and thus more competition in getting noticed."
Now that the EP is out, what is next for KENN?
"As far as my musical goal, I have a lot of different projects I want to try at some point but frankly all I really want is to eventually get to the point where I can simply live off making music."
More interviews: Mary Lambert, SATURN, Stephen Dittmer, Stephan Nance, Mark David Gerson, Eric Himan, Kevin J Thornton, Sammy Crawford, John Carrasco, YogaBear, Bryan Nevin with Christopher Van Etten.
Read more about KENN:
Full name: Kenneth Cifuentes
Nickname: Kenny
Height: 6 feet 3 inches
Zodiac sign: Scorpio (specifically the Scorpio-Sagittarius Cusp for those who care)
Tattoos: I have several tattoos including a replication of my heart on the center of my chest plate and banner with the Oscar Wilde quote, "A true friend stabs you in the front."
Piercings: Yes. I have pierced nipples and …
Favorite color: Olive Green or Midnight Blue. I can't decide.
If you were not human, you would be: I would be a pair of David Bowie's tight polyester pants circa the "Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars" tour..
Person responsible for driving you into music: My piano teachers growing up, Margaret Sargent and George Widiger, recognized my propensity for writing music early on and were instrumental in helping me develop the skills required.
Best thing about being a performer: That moment when someone tells me they went through the same things I wrote about in a song or that a song of mine helped them through a rough situation. After all, music is just another platform in which we can all communicate and relate with each other.
Hardest thing about being a performer: The logistics of scheduling and organizing involved. But even more than that, deciding how to approach a project. I have a very eclectic taste in music and that can make it hard to know how to approach a song (buzzing synths or steel guitars?).
Which one of your projects identifies you best today: Every project I embark on has a little part of me in it and I make an effort to expose another side of me each time. I mean, you're looking at a twenty-six sided dice here.
Sum up yourself in ONE word: Thankful

Archimedes entered into a research collaboration agreement with the FDA to develop a computer model of clinical trials evaluating weight loss medications. The model will be used to obtain a better understanding of the benefits of weight loss drugs against the long-term risks of cardiovascular outcomes.
Specifically, the model will attempt to reproduce the results of the Sibutramine Cardiovascular Outcome Trial (SCOUT), which showed that patients receiving sibutramine were 16% more likely to suffer serious cardiac events than those who received a placebo. Sibutramine was marketed as Meridia by Abbott Laboratories but was pulled from the market last year after the cardiovascular risks became obvious.
Archimedes will build and validate the clinical trial model using published data from the SCOUT trial, patient information from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, and information about physiological pathways and disease symptoms in the targeted patient populations. The model will then be used to explore possible outcomes over a 10-year simulated extension of the trial.
The company's technology, called Archimedes Model, is a full-scale simulation of human physiology, diseases, behaviors, interventions, and healthcare systems that utilizes mathematics, computing, and data systems to represent human physiology and the effects of diseases. At the core of the model are a set of ordinary and differential equations that represent physiological pathways and the effects of diseases, tests, and treatments. Whereas statistical models such as Markov models describe associations between small numbers of variables, Archimedes says that its model describes the underlying causal relationships of systems of physiological variables.

Kelly Osbourne
"To fill the shoes of rock 'n' roll, because of the family I have, is a really hard thing." -Kelly Osbourne
The youngest daughter of Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne earned celebrity status in her own right on MTV's The Osbournes, and has since capitalized on it with her own nascent recording and acting career.
Kelly's appeal may be small, but it is there. For hard-rocking, punk and rebel types, she could be just the thing -- especially heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne in the family tree. Going to pick up Kelly for a date and meeting her folks would certainly be an adventure.
Kelly's fame, however, is greater than the sum of her accomplishments. After becoming notorious overnight from her exposure on The Osbournes, she has been featured in magazines like Cosmo Girl, Teen People, Elle Girl, Seventeen, and Interview, and has been talked about quite a bit. But Kelly's fame may be on the wane if her solo career remains in doubt as The Osbournes fad wears off.
Kelly Osbourne BiographyKelly Lee Osbourne was born in London, England, on October 27, 1984. She's the daughter of heavy metal pioneer John "Ozzy" Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy's longtime manager and wife. Kelly has four siblings: Jessica Starshine and Louis Osbourne, born in 1972 and 1975, respectively, are from Ozzy's former marriage, while Aimee and Jack Osbourne, born in 1983 and 1986, are Kelly's full siblings.
To say that Kelly had an unusual upbringing would be an understatement. She was born during Ozzy's 1980s comeback heyday, and spent as much time in hotel rooms while her father was on tour, as she did in the English countryside being traditionally schooled. As a result, Kelly and the rest of the Osbournes became unusually combative and frank, but close, too.
In 1995, the Osbournes made a permanent relocation to Los Angeles, a strategic move from which Ozzy was to make his next comeback. But home life continued to be dysfunctional, and Kelly dropped out of school by the tenth grade.
the osbournes do reality on mtv
During her teen years, Kelly, along with her younger brother, Jack, made more and more public appearances with her father, and people began to take note of their brash dynamic. Soon MTV saw the potential for a series based on the quirky clan, and in March 2002 The Osbournes debuted, featuring Ozzy, Kelly, Jack, and mother Sharon (older sister Aimee refused to take part).
At first, Kelly felt that having cameras in the Osbourne home made her feel "uncomfortable and violated," but she soon got over her initial trepidation and settled into her usual devil-may-care habits. Viewers picked up on the brutal honesty of Kelly and her family, and the show was an immediate hit.
Encouraged by sister Aimee, Kelly went on to record a version of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach," which sounded so good that it was included on The Osbourne Family Album, a record quickly released to cash in on the show's success.
kelly releases shut up
When "Papa Don't Preach" became a hit single on its own, Kelly landed her own record deal, and her first album, Shut Up!, hit stores in November 2002.
However, Shut Up! failed to ignite listeners, and Kelly was dropped by her record label, Epic. She was picked up by Sanctuary, and Shut Up! was reissued as Changes in September 2003 with some new material, including a duet with Ozzy of the title Black Sabbath track.
A planned tour in 2003 and work on her second album was stalled by Kelly's drug problem. Hooked on painkillers and other pills, she checked into the Promises treatment clinic in Malibu, in April 2004. Kelly received a great deal of support from her family, as both Ozzy and Jack had already been through rehab.
Kelly emerged from treatment more focused on her next album, and preparing for her role in the fall 2004 ABC drama called Life As We Know It.

One of the great things when you travel for business, is seeing cities and people in a different light. As an employee, I traveled a lot but usually with the corporate team so the travel trip usually consisted of in and out. I would be in a great city and never even know what happened in the city while I was there. I went airport, hotel, sleep (maybe), office and back to airport in many cases.
My problem is I never understood the get in, get out mentality. The business paid for me to travel 3,000 miles to a city I will never see again or would not normally go to and we never stopped and see it. This never made sense to me so now as a self-employed business consultant, when it's time to go on the road, I do the work, but I also learn to stop and smell the roses. Taking a side trip is mandatory for me and anyone with me.
That said, when traveling during your business development activities don't just bring back business, get inspired, visit a few places and who knows what you will bring back. So this is my list of my favorite travel destinations, that contain very friendly people and sights to take advantage of and remember all work and no play makes for a very dull lifestyle.
New York City New York Travel
So nice they named it twice. As a business consultant travel in New York City is a dream come true. If you live here, then you know you can travel from here to there, very easy, no matter where your client is located. Being a major business city, you can have a ton of potential clients and a multitude of ways to travel around New York. And when one method of travel doesn't work you can always find an alternate means of transportation to your preferred business destination. In support of the horses in New York which by the way just hosted the Super Bowl, they are great way to travel, albeit expensive if you are on a limited work budget. But sans having a love interest which is how one usually travels on the horse carriages, I advise you stop and enjoy the horse carriage rides as it is one of those unique New York travel activities.
Vancouver British Columbia
This one extremely business travel friendly coastal seaport city on the mainland of British Columbia, Canada. A West Coast city where travel is just as easy as being in New York City or any major city. The people are friendly and the business opportunities for consulting are many as it is located in a very populated area. Highly recommended city and remember it's an entry point for travel to Alaska for many cruise lines.
SanDiego California Warm wonderful and powerful environment
San Diego is warm and inviting when it comes to doing business and extremely inviting when it comes to leisure after work activities. As a business center it has lots of big buildings downtown which also means lots of business consulting options that may need your consulting skills. The city is easy to get around and many big business conventions on a regular bases like Comic Con and the World Cup.
Ottawa, Ontario, CA Wonderful seasonal opportunties
Ottawa is the capital of Canada, and the fourth largest city in the country. It is not a very large but has loads of politicians and business owners. For consulting there are lots of business choices in town and at all the business venues directly outside the city. It's also great pace to go see Montreal and or visit Toronto and come back. Seasonal activities abound since you can skate the canal to work in winter and ride your bike in summer on the canal.
Boston, Mass. Commitment and focus
Boston is the capital and largest city of the state of Massachusetts. You always hear the word hearty and strong when talking about the New England folks of the North. Boston is packed with things to do, get ready to experience history, culture, plenty of good food, and lots of walking. It's a small version of a big city. Boston has a condensed downtown that makes business travel in this city very easy. Since it's a major business terminal port city, there will be a load of consulting opportunities for just about any type of business.
Toronto, CA. Fast, furious and delightful
Toronto to me is best explained as the major city in Canada and a small version of New York City. As to your business travel, it definitely easier then New York however the trains and planes and cabs are just as fast and convenient as any other city. Being a big city, there are an unlimited amount of business consulting opportunities.
New Orleans, Miss One lively jumpin town
New Orleans is a major United States port and the largest city and metropolitan area in the state of Louisiana. Having fun, while working is a major activity of a business consultant. There is nothing more appropriate then a good golf game, a festival and an easy way to move around town in a city that can be termed the survivors. They understand what it takes to succeed in life and business. New Orleans is self-contain, historic, inspiring and a great place to conduct business.
Oslo, Norway Cold Warm Expansive views
If you love northern activities you will love Norway. Oslo Norway is easy to get to from the US and they are a very cosmopolitan city. While some traditional rules may take some getting used to, if you are not a native. If you have an opportunity to be a consultant, it's highly recommend you go on assignment. The folks are friendly and the travel by car is easy but if you hate driving you can get a cab to almost anywhere in Downtown Oslo.
Austin, Texas, country, cowboys and more.
Austin Texas is one of those really great small cities. Austin is the capital of Texas, it is the 11th-largest city in the United States of America and the fourth-largest city in the state of Texas. Business travel is easy and the folks are extremely friendly. While being small means a smaller set of available business activities and opportunities for consultants, there are still many available options to do some serious business. Once there you will see that getting around is extremely easy.
Newark, NJ Bustling and growing environment
Newark NJ is the home of the New Jersey Devils hockey team and is a city that seems to be on the comeback trail for a long time. When it comes to doing business, Newark is home to over 50 Fortune 500 companies. Like Prudential Financial, PSEG and according to Newark's Brick City Development Corporation that's in addition to more than 10,000 businesses. It is also an easy city for travel as the Newark International Airport is located just outside of Newark City proper. Newark also has many colleges and entrepreneurial think tanks located in the downtown area.

A Monster 696 giveaway is being held to benefit the International Rett Syndrome Foundation. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Rett syndrome is a childhood neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by normal early development followed by loss of purposeful use of the hands, distinctive hand movements, slowed brain and head growth, gait abnormalities, seizures, and mental retardation. It affects females almost exclusively.
Tickets for the raffle (held in California) cost 25 USD and are limited to 500 total. Tickets are available at the Pro Italia online store or in the US, in Los Angeles and are available until October 24th. Pro Italia is an American online store in Southern California.
The motorcycling world often helps out in charity causes, as seen in Shane Byrne's charity project to raise money for Mcmillan Cancer Support. The British Superbike Champion's helmet was recently auctioned on ebay. Shane said: "I suffered a big loss in my life because of cancer. I hope that the money raised from the auction of this helmet can go some way, however big or small, towards helping others similarly affected whilst also highlighting the great work carried out by the people at Macmillan Cancer Support."
It's great to know that the motorcyclingworld and even riders are continuing these fund raising initiatives for charities in these difficult times.

The excitement started early Friday morning as the kick off to Fresno State football began with a slew of early morning radio and television broadcasts live at Bulldog Stadium.
The coverage of the 2010-2011 Bulldog season launched into action at 5 a.m., with the KMPH Great Day morning show and continued from there as six radio stations and four television groups weighed in on the ins and outs of the highly anticipated seven-home game season that will be underway Sept. 4 at home against Big East Champion Cincinnati.
Many Valley media members pitched their tents and camped out at the stadium to interview head coach Pat Hill and quarterback Ryan Colburn along with other leading starters to dig into the action that is to come on the field. Radio stations covering today's events include KMJ 580, ESPN Deportes, ESPN Radio with Paul Swearingen, and the morning show with Jennifer Lipp on 105.1 The Blaze.
The Fresno State spirit squad and dance team, along with Time Out and Victor E. Bulldog also took to the field with the team for great photo opportunities to help bring out the spirit that is Fresno State and rev up fans for an exciting season.
The Fresno Bee, in collaboration with the Fresno State Athletic Communications office, will once again offer fans a great way to learn all about the Bulldogs before they hit the field Sept. 4 with their special edition section and preview that will run Saturday, August 28.
The publication will include features from in-depth interviews with players and coaches, previews, biographies, depth chart, a season overview with a look into the competition and all the useful game day information from stadium maps to concessions, ticket prices and parking. This will be a fan's hot commodity this season with a seven-home game schedule and Centennial Celebration of the University.
This special section insert will also include photos and an intricate look into the true guts of Bulldog football, some stories behind the scenes and into the lives of student-athletes, and even a look into the life of the living Bulldog himself, Victor E. Bulldog. This is a true fan's guide to Bulldog football, so look for your 2010 special edition of the Fresno State Bulldogs in the coming weeks.

Health & Pregnancy
Women Are Still Dying From Childbirth
May 25, 2000 (San Francisco) -- In Los Angeles County, where inlaid stars give testament to celebrity on Hollywood Boulevard, women are still dying giving birth to children, says a doctor who studied 17 years of birth records at a Los Angeles hospital.
Robert B. Gherman, MD, says the death rate for women in labor during the years 1982 to 1998 was about 24 per 100,000 live births, a rate that is three times the CDC-reported national average. Gherman says the leading cause of maternal death was a condition called preeclampsia/eclampsia, also known as toxemia.
A very common complication of pregnancy, preeclampsia is characterized by high blood pressure accompanied by painful swelling of feet, legs, and hands. Left untreated, the condition can damage the kidneys and cause seizures. During the 1980s, almost 30% of the maternal deaths at L.A. County Hospital were caused by preeclampsia, says Gherman. The percentage dropped slightly, to about 26%, from 1990 through 1998.
Bleeding was another leading cause of maternal death, as was infection and blood clots, says Gherman. He says the take-home message is that "women still die in childbirth."
Gherman tells WebMD he collected the data from records of almost 220,000 live births. At the time, Gherman was with the L.A. County/University of Southern California Women's Hospital. "This is an excellent data source because the hospital records are [collected] within 42 days of delivery," says Gherman. Now director of the division of obstetrics/gynecology at the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth in Portsmouth, Va., Gherman presented his research at a meeting of ob/gyns here this week.
Judith Weiss, ScD, director of the Massachusetts Maternal Mortality Study in Boston, tells WebMD that her group will also report maternal death much higher than the CDC rates. The Massachusetts study, she says, defines maternal death as deaths occurring up to a year after delivery. Both the CDC and Gherman use the 42-day cutoff. She says "it is more accurate to extend to a year because many of these delivery-related deaths ... are likely to occur beyond 42 days." She says, however, that "most deaths do occur within the 42 days."

About FWD
Greetings from FWD!
I've been in the fabric business for my entire professional life - more than 50 years. I started as a teenager in Manhattan's garment district as a buyer, a seller, a middle-man, and have held every position in between. Over the years, I have developed relationships that have always allowed me to buy and sell the finest dress fabric, upholstery and drapery at the lowest prices anywhere. In 1983, I opened the first Fabric Warehouse. I started small, but went on to open nine more stores located throughout the NY Metropolitan area, and have never looked back.
I can tell you first-hand that the business has changed immensely since I first started out on 9th Ave. fifty years ago! Seven years ago, my daughter, Valerie, joined the business and has brought Fabric Warehouse into the Internet age by developing fabricwarehousedirect.com (FWD), the online version of Fabric Warehouse. Of course, she works with Lucille who keeps everything humming. One thing remains constant in anything we do - whether its in our stores or on the web, our goal has and always will be the same - to bring our customers the best selection of "designer fabrics below wholesale prices!"

The series with SEC power Texas A&M will begin in 2016 with a Sept. 3 matchup in College Station, Texas, UCLA's first-ever visit to Kyle Field. The Aggies will visit the Rose Bowl on Sept. 2 to open the 2017 season.
UCLA's series with Big Ten opponent Rutgers, previously scheduled for 2016 and 2017, will now be played on Sept. 5, 2020 at the Rose Bowl and Sept. 11, 2021 in Piscataway, N.J. The Bruins and Scarlet Knights have never faced each other.
UCLA will host Mountain West Conference foe San Diego State at the Rose Bowl on August 31, 2019 and will travel to San Diego to face the Aztecs on Sept. 19, 2020.
Within the last six months, UCLA has also announced a home-and-home series with Oklahoma in 2018 and 2019 and with Michigan in 2022 and 2023.
"Facing tough non-conference competition is a necessity with the new playoff system beginning this year," said Guerrero. "We are excited to add home-and-home series with both Texas A&M and San Diego State to a future schedule that already includes a traditional Big Ten/Pac-12 series with Rutgers."
UCLA and Texas A&M have met four previous times, with each team winning twice. The Bruins won the most recent matchup in the 1998 Cotton Bowl, 29-23, coming back from a 16-0 deficit to defeat the Aggies behind the play of quarterback Cade McNown. The other three matchups between the two teams have all taken place in California. UCLA won the most recent one, 21-0, at the Los Angeles Coliseum in 1955, and Texas A&M won the first two in the series, 7-0 in 1940 and 21-14 in 1951.
UCLA holds a 21-0-1 overall record against San Diego State, with 19 consecutive victories. The teams last played in 2009, with UCLA winning at the Rose Bowl, 33-14.

Anglers are to target barracuda on the flats in the 2014 Cuda Bowl, set for Friday, Jan. 31, and Saturday, Feb. 1. Scheduled just before professional football's Super Bowl, the all-release tournament is designed for anglers fishing in pole-able depths of water with artificial flies and lures.
Awards await the anglers who catch the largest total inches of barracuda in the fly and spin divisions. Each angler can count three fish per day toward the total.
The Cuda Bowl is to begin with a final registration and captains meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 30, at The Angling Company, 333 Simonton St. in Key West's historic Old Town.
Fishing is scheduled Friday and Saturday. Teams can begin their pursuit of barracuda at any time during daylight tournament hours, but cannot exceed eight hours of fishing per day.
Anglers and guides must appear by 5:30 p.m. each day for check-in at Hurricane Hole Marina, 5130 Overseas Highway at mile marker 4.5 oceanside. Boats are not required to leave and return to Hurricane Hole by water; trailering is allowed.
An awards gathering at Hurricane Hole is to follow the close of fishing Saturday.
Tournament rules allow licensed guides to fish as anglers. The entry fee is $200 for one angler on a boat and an additional $50 for a second, with two anglers allowed per boat. Early registration is suggested to ensure participation.
Even as the tournament gets under way, Florida Keys guides are concerned about the status of barracuda, worrying that those who do not release the toothy creature are harming the fishery to the point that protections for barracuda are being discussed by fishery managers.

Far out awesome and fantastic.
I love how even though you were more than likely trying to make it look over the top, its ten times more reasonable and stylish looking than 99% of sparkle dogs I've seen. HA
why does everyone hate sparkeldogs?

branging spackles bakc
seriously tho I haven't seen a sparkle dog in SO LONG maybe I don't watch enough teenagers on this site
I like its expression, it fits the fandom pretty well.
That looks like David Bowie in animal form, lol
i like sparkle dogs, even though most of them are unoriginal, some of them are really cool.
If Rainbow Brite was a dag with 'tude.

I bet if you put this design up for auction someone would pay you $60 for it.
time well spent /swoon
Legitimate, fantastic, made of rainbows, and WAY to cool for school. Love it. xD
What program do you use to make this?
It's not a legitimate sparkledog if it's not properly accessorized needs more pokeballs and ninja headbands and Tardis keys and iPods and... oh! Does it have a dark side?? xD
Needs more piercings, neck-chains and bracelets!
Though, I love the expression and the pink nails XD
Though, I love the expression and the pink nails XD
Are they are dude, or a girl.... or a..... dude.... ?
Does it really matter
In America where one's positive or negative opinion is mostly formed by the clarity of one's visual apparel and gender regardless of other, often more important qualities - YES.
Sometimes, one just feels a need to spakle :I
I really adore the style here actually, and the expression is brilliant~
Lol the expression is awesome xD
Dat. Attitude.
I think I may love that lipstick(?) a little too much.
Well he/she's prettier than most sparkle dogs on the Internet, sooooo...your time was not wasted, lol.
This made me realize one of my characters is basically a sparkle dog but a human. i stand by it.
This needs some sweet angel wings, and a guitar. Maybe a lip piercing.

- Price: $99.99
- Official Site: VerizonWireless.com
- Specs: 3.2 oz; 2" TFT LCD; 176x220; 285 min talk time
- Company: Verizon Wireless
Push-to-talk (PTT) phone technology has been a cornerstone of the Nextel network for some time now, but it is easy to forget that Verizon Wireless also offers such a capability, most notably in the new CDM-8975. Developed by PCD, the CDM-8975 brings PTT action from rugged cells into a compact flip phone, and also offers several of Verizon's advanced features such as EV-DO Rev and access to V Cast. The price tag on the CDM-8975 is very reasonable, listing for a fair $99.99 with a two-year service agreement.
If all you have been seeing lately are iPhones and BlackBerry Storms, the appearance of the Verizon Wireless CDM-8975 is not going to make your head turn. The black industrial look is really just about function, from the sturdy flip-down hinge to the all-plastic body, style takes a way backseat on this gadget. The phone is very comfortable to grip, and the large orange PTT button and external speaker allow you to mimic the actions of a walkie-talkie. The two display screens on the CDM-8975 are fairly bland, giving you all the necessary information, but in a washed-out and dull visual package. The music player on the CDM-8975 not only has external controls, but also an external speaker, making the feature a little more appealing to use than the standard audio application on most flip phones.
Besides your standard contact list, the Verizon Wireless CDM-8975 also gives you a separate PTT section. You can store up to 500 other PTT users in the address book, and you have the ability to divide them into unique groups and members. Most of the current essential phone features, such as web-based e-mail, navigation and full Bluetooth support are included on the CDM-8975, including the ability to download real-time software updates for the device over the air. EV-DO broadband connectivity allows the CDM-8975 to have access to V Cast services, which tend to be a mixed bag, but should you choose to take advantage of things like the Rhapsody music store, you can expand your hard drive up to 8GB via a microSD drive to handle all the music purchases. Of course, there is a digital camera built in to the top of the CDM-8975, but the resolution is a mere 1.3 megapixels, so the picture quality is average at best.

UTSA have managed a shock in their first game at the Conference USA Baseball Championships as they defeated the Number 2 seed, UAB 4-1 at Hattiesburg on Wednesday night.
Facing the CUSA Pitcher of the Year, Chase Mallard, the Roadrunners had some good luck in the third inning before some impressive pitching from Brock Hartson saw the game out.
Hartson only saw five men get on base and managed a career-high 12 strike outs, the second highest in CUSA tournament history, through 8.1 innings of work.
Through his 127 pitches, Hartson only allowed two hits, also giving up a walk and accidentally hit a batter as he tore UAB apart.
The first three innings of the game managed just one hit to each side, as the game appeared to be going in the defensive direction it was expected to go in.
In the third inning UTSA got a phenomenal stroke of luck, as Horacio Correa III hit a chopper that bounced over the head of the second baseman for the Correa to get on to base.
RJ Perucki stepped up was able to hit a looping shot that landed just inside the field of play, allowing a double, to put runners on second and third.
John Borman was able to hit a slow rolling shot to second base, which allowed Correa to make the run from third rapidly, and opened the scoring.
Jesse Baker was able to manage a triple as he hit a perfect shot down the third base line which fell and dribbled in to the corner allowing Perucki to get home and double the lead.
With Baker at third, Tony Ramirez was able to step up and make a third run as Ramirez to hit a line-drive for a single to wrap up the scoring in the inning at three.
Both defenses really sured up from there, keeping the game scoreless for five more innings until UTSA were able to extend their lead in the eighth.
Again it was Bormann who was able to get an RBI as the lead stretched out to 4-0 with an impressive RBI single that allowed Warren to score.
Late in the game UAB managed their only run of the game as they earned an unearned run when an error allowed Ryan Prinzing to get on base before a two out single from Nathan Vincent scored the runner.
Logan Onda came on to finish out the game as he managed a strike out to give UTSA a surprise win to get UTSA in to the winner's bracket as they will play East Carolina on Thursday night.

The Prime Minister is facing mounting criticism from his Lib Dem coalition partners over the UK's weapons exports to Israel.
09:17, UK, Wednesday 06 August 2014
David Cameron is under fresh pressure over Gaza in the wake of Baroness Warsi's resignation, with the Deputy Prime Minister saying he shares her concerns about arms export licences to Israel.
In a damning resignation letter to the Prime Minister, Lady Warsi said the Government's "approach and language" during the month-long conflict in Gaza had been "morally indefensible".
Her high-profile resignation unleashed a torrent of criticism over the UK's position on the crisis, particularly the licences that British defence manufacturers have to supply Israel with weapons.
They have been worth some £42m since 2010.
Mr Clegg said: "I think the question marks that Sayeeda Warsi has raised about the arms export licences... are very serious ones and I share her concerns."
He said he would work with the Business Secretary, Liberal Democrat Vince Cable, whose department administers the licences, on resolving the matter.
"He and I both believe the actions of the Israeli military, overstepping the mark in Gaza, breaches the conditions of those export licences and that's why we want to see them suspended pending a wider review of whether they should be revoked more permanently in the long run," Mr Clegg said.
Mr Cable later issued his own statement saying: "Both Nick Clegg and I agree that we should suspend export licences for military equipment that might be used by Israel in Gaza.
"We have been making this case inside Government but have not yet been able to get agreement for this position. I hope and expect that to change shortly."
The Government agreed on Monday to review licences allowing the export of ammunition, drones and armoured vehicles to Israel.
It said no new licences have been issued since Israel launched its military operation on July 8.
However a Downing Street spokesman said: "Suspending export licences is not a decision we take lightly and it is right that we examine the facts fully."
Sky News Deputy Political Editor Joey Jones says the Deputy PM's comments indicate he is confident he can force a complete change of position from the Government.
Earlier, the Prime Minister said he regretted Baroness Warsi's decision to resign, but understood her "strength of feeling on the current crisis in the Middle East".
He said the Government supports Israel's right to defend itself, while consistently making clear its "grave concerns" over civilian casualties.

College Hockey:2005-06 Michigan State Season Preview
The only true knowledge of things is the knowledge of their causes. — Archbishop Leighton
All those who think that Michigan State will emerge a top-tier CCHA team this season, say, "Aye!"
Come on. A little enthusiasm here.
"I feel good about our hockey team," says head coach Rick Comley. That's a big statement from a man whose team has undergone a crisis of faith in recent years. In the post-Ron Mason, post-Ryan Miller era of Spartan hockey, not only did MSU fans need to be convinced that the Earth would continue to spin and the center would hold, but Spartan players themselves seemed slow to buy into Comley's tenure.
Between Mason and now, Comley has had to endure early departures, attitude issues, injuries, and kids who just weren't getting what the man wanted his team to do. It took longer than expected for Comley to transition the team away from its Ryan Miller dependency toward a more offensive-minded style.
A strange side effect was a limping offense that didn't begin to blossom until midseason last year and never fully reached its potential. When the Spartans found themselves awake again offensively, though, they couldn't put together enough consistent back-to-back effort to make any real noise.
They did, however, realize what they could do if they played together as a team, and that's the cause of Comley's optimism. "The thing I like most about our team is our balance. Colton Fretter is a 20-goal scorer, Drew Miller has become a very valuable player. David Booth I expect to have a breakout season.
"Corey Potter, I think, we are lucky to get back. He could have signed with the New York Rangers but didn't. Ethan Graham will play a ton of minutes for us. Obviously, you can see with Dominic Vicari's selection as second team preseason that we are pretty good in that position."
And that, Spartan fans, is your team's biggest advantage. In a league that returns precious few time-tested goaltenders, Vicari gives MSU an edge; if he remains healthy and plays as he can, he has the potential to be among the best goalies in the country.
One big challenge for this year's Spartans is the schedule, which always pits MSU against Michigan for four regular-season games – and who would have it any other way? – but which also includes first-half trips to Ithaca and Fairbanks two at home against Northern Michigan, and the College Hockey Showcase at Thanksgiving.
"Our kids are going to get tested early, but I think they are up to it," says Comley.
The Spartans put together a three-game win streak to end last year's regular season before sweeping Miami at home in the first round of the CCHA playoffs, and MSU put up five or more goals in eight games last year, so the seeds of improvement have already been planted. Comley said all along last season that he never faulted his players' efforts.
What remains to be seen is whether the team chemistry has improved to the point of trust — trust in each other, and trust in the coach. If those particular ducks get into those specific rows, the Spartans will return to form — no, scratch that. If all goes as it should, the Spartans will not repeat any history specific to MSU or Comley's former school, Northern Michigan, but rather create something completely new and completely competitive.

Tonight I watched the sun set amongst clouds. I already knew the moon was big and bright for the east coast - I've been comforted by the many images of it from many friends on Facebook - and that its magic sustained as the sun set across the U.S. Susan Niebur's soul in the heavens shone, winking for her friends. I walked with a friend - a wise woman with a scar across her throat from thyroid cancer - as we discussed life, and the everlasting impact of someone like Susan. Her influence on others was tremendous. We are all better for having known her. She educated us about IBC, and opened our eyes to how many of the pink-ribbon organizations out there aren't so helpful. (Perhaps it is fitting that the documentary Pink Ribbons, Inc was just released.) I know that many of us are donating to the Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation, an organization that Susan supported. We cry tonight, and we look skyward tonight. We've lost a friend, but will undoubtedly see her everywhere, as her legacy endures.

Starbucks plans to bring back its cult favorite item, the Pumpkin Spice Latte, earlier this year for some customers.
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (WOAI) - Starbucks plans to bring back its cult favorite item, the Pumpkin Spice Latte, earlier this year for some customers.
Beginning on August 26, some customers will be able to get their first fix of the year. Although the drink doesn't officially launch nationwide until Sept. 2, some customers who participated in an online scavenger hunt connected with the Twitter handle @TheRealPSL will be able to buy them early.
Last year, the early access was based on customer loyalty through the brand's rewards program. In previous years, certain cities have gotten early access after their residents placed the most votes to secure the drinks ahead of the official launch.
This year marks the latte's 11th year as a seasonal item. Despite the limited-time offering's long tenure, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said on an earnings call last year that the PSL still ranks as its most popular seasonal beverage, adding that sales were as strong as ever.
Meanwhile, at a conference last year, Starbucks CFO Troy Alstead said, "We are continually, frankly, even amazed internally at its ability to keep driving its proposition, comping over itself every year."

In the season of Lent, meditation on the Seven Last Words of Jesus can give us profound insight into His mission and teaching, and about the intersection of the Passion of Christ and the pro-life efforts of the Church. These words from the Cross enlighten us about the power of forgiveness, the promise of Paradise, and the victory over death which Christ obtains for us by dying and rising again. The words from the Cross teach us of the thirst we should have for the new heavens and the new earth where justice will reside and life will be respected. Reflections I've given on the Seven Last Words of Christ can be obtained by visiting our online store.
Join Us In Prayer
This Lent, I invite you to join our national prayer campaign to end abortion. If you visit our web site you will be able to sign up for and obtain the "Prayer of Commitment" that Priests for Life invites every believer to pray daily. In addition to the prayer, which you will find in English and Spanish, you will likewise be able to indicate that you are offering Masses, rosaries, and other spiritual sacrifices on behalf of our unborn brothers and sisters. Remember, not only can they not speak, but they cannot even pray. They are helpless spiritually as well as physically. We must stand in the gap.
Lent, a time of extra prayer, is a perfect time to pray more for the unborn. Please join the National Prayer Campaign at priestsforlife.org!
Lent is a Season of Life
Lent is a season of Life. As baptized believers, we reflect on how the Passion, death, and Resurrection of Christ have brought us the new life we now live. We commit ourselves to join all our suffering to His for our own salvation and that of the whole world. To help us all observe Lent, I have written a special Lenten prayer for life, and invite you to join me in saying it each day of this holy season. You can view it here. As we prepare to celebrate the victory of Christ over death, we commit ourselves to defeat the power of abortion and the Culture of Death. As we practice Lenten penance, we can do no better than to reach out and save the lives of our youngest brothers and sisters.
Let Us Renew Our Resolve
Lent is a time to pray for the catechumens of the Church, that is, those who are preparing to be baptized at Easter. They are preparing to accept the life of the Risen Christ into their souls and bodies. They are preparing to leave their sins in the tomb and rise to newness of life. When they are baptized at the Easter vigil, the rest of us will renew the vows of our baptism. In these vows, we reject the empty promises of the devil. One of those empty promises is abortion. How easily people are deceived that the choice of death somehow solves a problem. Even more deceptive is the idea that another person's abortion, though wrong, is none of our business. But whenever someone's choice destroys someone else's life, that's everyone's business. Let's renew our resolve to speak up for the children.
Join Us in Saying a Lenten Prayer for Life
As we make our Lenten journey, I invite you to join with me and thousands of others in a Lenten Prayer for Life. You can find it here.
Lent is a season in which we prepare to celebrate Christ's total victory over death, and our share in His life by baptism. Death was not part of God's original plan for us. Scripture says that God created all things that they may have life, and that He does not rejoice in the destruction of the living.
Standing with Christ in His new life means standing against whatever destroys life.
The Lenten prayer for life renews us in our commitment to be the People of Life. It can be prayed each day by families, school classes, parishes, and individuals.
Download the Lenten prayer for life at priestsforlife.org.
Why Abortion is the Opposite of Love
Lent teaches us the meaning of love. Jesus endured His passion and crucifixion for each of us, giving Himself away that we might have life.
Abortion, on the other hand, is the opposite of love, because it takes life.
Love says, "I sacrifice myself for the good of the other person."
Abortion says, "I sacrifice the other person for the good of myself."
Strangely, the same words are used in both cases. Supporters of abortion say, "This is my body, I can do what I want."
Jesus says, "This is My Body, given up for you."
The same words are spoken from opposite ends of the universe, with totally opposite results.
Let us resolve to live those words as Jesus did, giving ourselves away for the good of others, born and unborn.
Ash Wednesday
Today, Ash Wednesday, we receive the ashes that remind us of the power of sin and death, which return us to the dust from which we came. Yet we wear the ashes in the form of a cross, professing that Christ has conquered death and restored life. We repent of all sin, and prepare to renew the vows of our baptism at Easter, when many will be baptized for the first time.
In other words, Lent prepares us to share the victory of Life and to live as the People of Life. Lent is the time when we learn more deeply why we are pro-life. Turning away from sin means we put God above our "freedom of choice." Believing in the Gospel means we believe in life, and reject the forces of death, including abortion.
As We Prepare for Lent
Tomorrow the season of Lent begins. By our penance, we say no to ourselves and yes to God and others. This reverses the power of sin, by which we say yes to ourselves and no to God and others.
A perfect Lenten practice is to speak up even more for unborn children. Lent calls us to greater love and less selfishness. When we defend the unborn, we defend people who cannot thank us, and who don't even know we are defending them. This makes our efforts even more sacrificial and selfless. At times, we will suffer ridicule from others for our pro-life stand. To sacrifice our comfort, our pride, or our popularity is a beautiful Lenten sacrifice that brings us closer to the Lord, and brings the unborn closer to safety.

According to an Apr. 7 report from USA Today, one of the most shocking moments in Wrestlemania history occurred last night in New Orleans, as Brock Lesnar snapped The Undertaker's 21-year Wrestlemania win streak.
The Undertaker, 49, began his Wrestlemania win streak way back in 1991, by defeating "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka.
Since his debut at Wrestlemania VII, The Undertaker has defeated a who's who of opponents at Wrestlemania events, including Ric Flair and CM Punk.
WWE Universe learned last night that all good things must come to an end, as The Undertaker was shockingly pinned by Lesnar after more than 20 minutes of heated back-and-forth action at Wrestlemania 30.
Following The Undertaker's loss, he walked off into the sunset to a rousing applause from the 70,000 fans in attendance at the Superdome in New Orleans.
Is this the end of the line for The Undertaker? Time will tell how the situation plays out, but there's a couple different ways the WWE could play it.
On one hand, they could script The Undertaker to come back next year for a rematch with Lesnar, and send him into retirement with a victory.
On the other hand, the WWE might want Lesnar to be the new face of the WWE now that he snapped Undertaker's win streak.
At next year's Wrestlemania main event, the WWE might want to feature Lesnar against another WWE superstar, possibly Daniel Bryan or John Cena.
The Undertaker will be 50 years old by the time the next Wrestlemania rolls around, and he has had multiple surgeries over the years.
Father Time is catching up to The Undertaker, so it might be best for him to hang up the gloves for good. If this is really the end of the line for The Undertaker, he wraps up his Wrestlemania career with a 21-1 record.
Should The Undertaker retire following his loss to Lesnar at Wrestlemania 30? Should the WWE bring The Undertaker back for a rematch with Lesnar at the next Wrestlemania? Let us know in the comments or tweet the author, @BadNewsEric.
