TMZ is reporting that Buff Bagwell called his wife from his Jeep around 1:30 PM on Monday and "advised her he was getting ready to have a seizure."
Bagwell lost control of his vehicle a short time later and was seriously injured in a car accident.
who was it that Tweeted that Bagwell was fine. with all those injurys he doesn't sound fine.. wish him a full and speedy recovery.
I really hate that this happened to Bagwell. I was always a fan of his. At least the cause of his accident was a legitimate medical condition and not alcohol or drugs. It has gotten to the point that when I see stories like this, I automatically assume that these guys were up to no good. There have been WAY too many drug and alcohol incidents in wrestling!!
God bless you, Buff!! Get well soon!!!
I don't mean to sound insensitive but if he felt a seizure was coming on shouldn't he have pulled over rather than risk his life and that of other people? As it is TMZ reporting it I will save my judgement until it is confirmed by another source.
I was thinking the same. Pulling over and calling your wife, and paramedics seems like the most logical thing to do.
I was wondering the same thing myself. The only reason I can see to keep driving would be if he was driving to a hospital.
I was reading this aloud to my friends and they all asked why he didn't pull over. Also, was he calling hands free, or actually dialed her.
I know that sometimes when you're about to have a seizure your brain doesn't really work correctly (from some research I've done and talking to people who suffer with seizures).
Honestly, I'm just glad he didn't take anyone else out when he lost control.
I don't know the laws where he is, nor do I know the frequency in which he has seizures. That being said, Alabama law states a person shall not drive for 6 months after having a seizure. My wife has suffered from them and sometimes you can get an "aura" (the feeling of a seizure coming on) and sometimes they occur with no warning. Regardless, I'm glad he is alive and no one else was hurt in the incident. Hopefully he will have a full recovery and receive treatment to better control his seizures.
Hmm, just using my head here:
Maybe he couldn't use his legs to apply the brakes?! He was having a seizure; his brain was not sending the signals for his legs to move and he knew something bad was happening. He called his wife because he though the was going to die in the car wreck that was going to happen so he wanted to tell his wife what was going to happen and that he loved her.
TMZ is the cesspool of the internet with their comment section.

Privy Counsellors
The Privy Council is the ancient executive governing body of the United Kingdom. It is presided over by the Sovereign and exercises many functions, some of which have been entrusted to it by Acts of Parliament, which may be legislative, administrative or judicial. Its decisions are usually embodied in Orders in Council or Proclamations.
Membership is for life, with the style of 'Right Honourable', usually abbreviated to 'Rt Hon' (it is possible to be struck off the list, most recently in the case of Jonathan Aitken).
Privy counsellors are appointed by the Crown and include some members of the Royal Family, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the Bishop of London, the Lord Chancellor, many members of the judiciary such as Lords of Appeal, all Cabinet ministers, and some overseas prime ministers. The Lord President of the Council is usually a senior member of the Cabinet.
A full Council is now only assembled for the Accession of a new Sovereign, and a member does not attend any Council unless specially summoned. Those summoned are generally, though not invariably, members of the Government. A routine Council meeting is usually held at Buckingham Palace by the Sovereign (or in HM's absence abroad, by Counsellors of State), and must be attended by at least three privy counsellors and the Clerk of the Council.
As membership of the Privy Council is an appointment rather than an honour conferred, the letters PC follow all honours and decorations awarded by the Crown.
How to Address a Privy Counsellor*
*The spelling privy councillor is also used, but the Privy Council Office prefers the above spelling.
The recommended (social) style of address is as follows:
Beginning of letter
Dear Lord Smith/Dear Mr Smith
End of letter
Yours sincerely
The Rt Hon Lord Smith/ The Rt Hon John Smith
Verbal communication
Lord Smith/Mr Smith
Formal invitation
Rt Hon Lord Smith/Rt Hon John Smith
Social invitation
The Lord Smith/Mr John Smith
Joint formal invitation*
Rt Hon Lord Smith and Lady Smith/Rt Hon John and Mrs Smith
Joint social invitation
The Lord and Lady Smith/Mr and Mrs John Smith
Description in conversation
Lord Smith/John Smith
List of Directors or Patrons
Rt Hon Lord Smith/Rt Hon John Smith
Place card
Lord Smith, PC; Rt Hon John Smith
*Note that, traditionally, invitations to a married couple, when sent to their home address, are addressed to the wife alone, with both names being inscribed on the invitation card. It has become increasingly acceptable, however, to address the envelope with both names.
Other ranks such as ecclesiastical, ambassadorial, Armed Forces, etc, precede The Rt Hon, e.g.:
The Rt Hon Sir John Smith, MP
Lt-Col the Rt Hon John Jones
The Rt Hon Patricia Hewitt, MP
The Rt Rev and Rt Hon the Lord Bishop of London
His Excellency the Rt Hon Sir Christopher Smith
Ladies who are Privy Counsellors drop the use of 'Miss', 'Ms' or 'Mrs'. For example, The Rt Hon Jackie Smith, MP.

Thiensville — An upcoming art sale Friday and Saturday will both celebrate deceased Thiensville artist Earle Raine and raise money for the Mequon-Thiensville Historical Society.
The Mequon-Thiensville Historical Society is a recent recipient of a matching grant from the Wisconsin State Historical Society, President Bob Blazich said, and auction company owner Tarq Durante will donate 50 percent of the sale proceeds to help the historical society raise funds for the grant.
On Friday, the nearly 100 available works of Earle Raine will be 50 percent off, or best offer, at Cedarburg Auction and Estate Sales, 227 North Main Street. On Saturday the works will be marked down further, an auctioneer said.
According to an MTHS statement, Raine was a nationally acclaimed artist who graduated from the former Layton School of Art in Milwaukee in the 1930s. He was a longtime Thiensville resident and died in 2005 at the age of 94.
Sale prices range from $10 to more than $700. Works include World War II paintings from Raine's time in France, artwork for Collier's magazine covers and cartoons, as well as sketches and paintings of people, area buildings and landscapes.
Longtime Thiensville resident, artist, and former teacher Allen Caucutt said Raine's work is an excellent example of popular styles dating from the late 1920s to early 1950s. Caucutt said Raine was a master of the contour drawing method, a practice in which artists kept their eyes on their subjects and their hands moved unseen across the canvas.
Raine also innovated an early method of stenciling which mixed painting and graphic art processes, Caucutt said. In a number of works, the same figure is multiplied several times over by stencil but shaded differently, a technique which suggests the inherent similarities and differences in all of us.
"He was a very quiet, soft spoken artist," Caucutt said. "He didn't try to push his art or ideas about art. He thought his art would speak for itself, and anyone who knew anything about art would pick up on that."
In the years before his death, Raine had been the head of the Ozaukee County Art Show, one of the oldest county shows in Wisconsin, and had a reputedly good eye for talent in young and upcoming artists.
Caucutt describes him as a contemplative and assured artist, one who would ponder a scene at length before beginning to work. Unlike many artists, he would make his strokes with singular confidence, very rarely revising or restarting a piece.
"An eraser was not his friend," Caucutt said. "He didn't have one. A rubber crutch was what he called it."
WHAT: Earle Raine art sale
WHEN: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday
WHERE: Cedarburg Auction and Estate Sales, 227 North Main St.

Curtis' book is available in Barnes and Noble, Deseret Book, Seagull Book and Walmart
Last August, a movie captured theater audiences with its gripping story of the 517th Parachute Regimental Combat Team's dangerous mission in the height of World War II. The story behind Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed is a true story, inspired by a book by L. Vaughn Curtis called Letters Home: A Paratrooper's Story.
Curtis based the book on the experiences of his own father, Harland "Bud" Curtis, as they were written in 150 preserved letters. When film director Ryan Little came to a reunion of the 517th in 2009, Curtis gave him a copy of the book. Two years later, Little contacted Curtis to ask permission to use parts of the book in a new movie. Curtis is still dumbfounded and thinks it's surreal and a blessing to see his dad's story come to life in Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed.
Curtis shared a few thoughts with us about his book, the military and more:
Why is this story important?
"The men of the 517th were the 9-11 team of their day. They were placed in the heaviest combat areas, but they received no recognition. Lots of others are recognized and portrayed in movies like Band of Brothers, but people need to know about those that performed parachute duty for the country."
Did your own military experience influence your writing?
"When I was young I would go to my dad's mother, my grandmother, and ask why my dad was so tough. She would read me his letters. I got to know more about my dad as a father and husband and what he did in World War II as a paratrooper through those letters. My military experience helped me understand some of the things that he talks about though. For example, when he talked about KP, I knew that KP meant kitchen police. I knew when he talked about the HQ company he meant headquarters and that DZ meant drop zone. My military knowledge allowed me to explain connections and acronyms in the book. It also helped me understand the more poignant moments and experiences in my father's letters."
Most difficult part?
"The hardest part was compiling all of the data to go with the letters. I had to take out some that said things like 'Hi Mom, things are great' and make sure the letters I included were meaningful. I also had to check the letters for accuracy in actual history and make sure they fit with the other facts I was connecting."
Corbin Allred, Jasen Wade (Curtis' father in the movie), L. Vaughn Curtis, David Nibley. Curtis was an extra in Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed.
Favorite part?
"I never would have thought of doing this until I saw the HBO series Band of Brothers with my brother. After we watched it, we thought 'Is this what Dad went through?' so we went home and asked him. He told us that it was and started telling us stories. Before, he never talked about his war experiences. A little while later, my brother received an invitation to go to Camp McCullough. We also wanted to take Dad down to where he went to jump school and trained in Georgia. Because I was retired military personnel, it was easy to arrange all that.
"I just have to tell a short side-story. When we got to Georgia, I told the Sargeant Major my name and said I wanted to take my dad to the mess hall so he could experience military dining again. He said no problem. So after we walked around for a bit we went back to the hall. There were hundreds of paratroopers waiting in line, and I thought 'I don't know how long we'll be here.' I suggested we just go grab a sandwich from Subway, but my dad said no. My brother was never in the military so it was a fun experience for him, too. After a bit, the paratroopers around started to notice my dad. Once they figured out he was a World War II veteran somebody shouted 'Make a hole and make it wide.' Everyone stood on the sides of the sidewalk and they were all standing at attention. It was neat to see that these men hadn't forgotten what happened in World War II and they recognized my dad as an American war hero. People were asking for time to eat with him and it was wonderful to see that even after 60 years, his service was not forgotten and he was still treated with such great respect.
"Going back to the question, the most excitement I had was connecting to the letters as a boy, forgetting about them, and then having my dad send them to me again in 2003. As I put them together and tied information in, more and more people, especially other veterans or family members of veterans, wanted a copy. Then I gave a copy to the movie director and you know the rest."
Anything else?
"I would just like all veterans and people who served in the military to know that this book is meant to honor all of them, not just the paratroopers. It remembers and recognizes that big sacrifices that all of them made to defend our country.
Jason Wade, Corbin Allred, L. Vaughn Curtis and David Nibley at a promotional event at Deseret Book

Olympians Claire Donahue and Tyler McGill simplify the Butterfly by demonstrating two drills that focus on great technique. The first drill emphasizes body position and awareness of body position in the water. Building off that drill, the second drill gets swimmers to feel the origin of the kick and how it relates to their position in the water.

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) often cause hemorrhages that can result in severe clinical manifestations, including hemiparesis and seizures. The underlying mechanisms of the aggressive behavior of CCMs are undetermined to date, but alterations of vascular matrix components may be involved. We compared the localization of the tight junction proteins (TJPs) in 12 CCM specimens and the expression of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT-1), which is sensitive to alterations in TJP levels, in 5 CCM specimens with those in 5 control temporal lobectomy specimens without CCM by immunofluorescence microscopy. The TJPs occludin, claudin-5, and zonula occludens ZO-1 were downregulated at intercellular contact sites and partly redistributed within the surrounding tissue in the CCM samples; there was also a marked reduction of GLUT-1 immunoreactivity compared with that in control specimens. Corresponding analysis using quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction on 8 CCM and 8 control specimens revealed significant downregulation of mRNA expression of occludin, claudin-5, ZO-1, and GLUT-1. The altered expression and localization of the TJPs at interendothelial contact sites accompanied by a reduction of GLUT-1 expression in dilated CCM microvessels likely affect vascular matrix stability and may contribute to hemorrhages of CCMs.

- Ingredients:
- 1- ½ oz Spring Blonde Spice Rub Packet
- 2 + pounds Pork Tenderloin
- 6 Oranges, juiced (yields 1 cup), + 1 rind chopped (or zest)
- ½ Jalapeño, small diced
- ¼ bunch of cilantro, chopped
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1/4-cup olive oil + 1 tbsp
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 Red onion, halved, then sliced into 1/8 inch slices
- Method:
- In a bowl, combine all ingredients except the pork loin and red onion. Mix well. Transfer into marinating dish with pork. Let sit over night.
- Cooking process: Heat cast iron skillet on medium until smoking. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and coat. Place marinated pork tenderloin in skillet and sear each side (2-3minutes a side). Once all sides are seared, transfer to an oven safe pan with the red onion slices and place into a 400* oven for 25-30 minutes (or until internal temperature is 145*).
- Meanwhile, place remaining marinade in a saucepan and heat on medium until simmering, this is heating the marinade through.
- Once pork is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Slice into medallions and serve with warmed marinade.
The summer projects for Blue Moon have been fun, challenging, and exiting to create. This first recipe comes after a lengthy assignment developing spice rub packets for two of their seasonal beers. After many trials, a digital scale purchase, and some taste tests the spice rubs were chosen for development. The 1/2oz packets will be distributed nation wide soon! So… with the spice rub packet comes a recipe!
The Spring Blonde Spice Rub packet has some sharp flavors that were to be paired/sold with a value offer for oranges therefor this recipe had to call for fresh oranges. When discussing with the team, I suggested since oranges and spices weren't that appealing on their own they be used as a marinade or sauce. The Blue Moon team was into it and I ran with the idea. I started with the 1/2oz spice rub (Celery salt, ground mustard, brown sugar, black pepper) and about 6 medium sized oranges. I juiced all the oranges, but saved one of the rinds, and julienned that to add some more orange flavor into the marinade. I then built up the flavors by adding half a small diced jalapeno and then some chopped cilantro. I tasted the marinade and it was running a bit acidic, so I added some honey. From there I knew I was close to something tasty. Adhering to the marinade rule (acid, salt, savory, fat) I added some olive oil, as well as some fresh lime juice for some punch. This was looking and tasting good. I added the pork to this marinade and let it sit overnight in the fridge.
The next day, I headed over to the Pollock house to finish this recipe. Ali was roasting potatoes which would turn out to be a perfect compliment to the pork. I pulled the pork out of the marinade and heated up a cast iron skillet until it was smoking then seared the loin on all sides. The pork was then transferred to a baking dish along with just a touch of the marinade to keep the pork moist. It went into a 400* oven for about 25 minutes. I pulled the loins out when they hit 145*. They looked caramelized and delicious. Once rested, I cut the pork loin into medallions and got it all ready to serve.
It's always fun seeing people eat your food. The best compliments are not necessarily the verbal ones, but the physical acts of those getting up to get seconds and thirds… or Ali texting that she had the leftovers for lunch. I love my job!
Keep an eye out for the spice rub packets in stores! The Summer Honey Wheat Spice Rub recipe will be on this space soon…

"Red Robin… Yum," as the slogan goes. Except in this case, "yuck" would be the more appropriate interjection, after news was released that an ill restaurant worker in Missouri may have exposed upwards of 5,000 customers to the Hepatitis A. In response, a shipment of vaccines has been sent to Springfield to combat a potential outbreak.
According to the Huffington Post on Thursday, county health officials announced that customers who visited the chain's location on S. Glenstone Ave. in Springfield between May 8 and May 16 may have been exposed to the highly contagious Hep-A virus. The infected employee worked for months at the location however before any illness was reported, so the number of exposed workers and patrons may in fact be well over 5,000. Springfield, a city in southwest Missouri, has a population of 160,000.
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers issued the following statement: "Upon being informed of the incident, the Springfield Red Robin took all safety measures to ensure the well being of our guests and team members including arranging the inoculation of all Springfield team members with the immune globulin prophylaxis shot."
Springfield-Greene County Health Department officials are working with the CDC and state officials to import enough vaccines so that those thought exposed between May 8 and the 16 can be inoculated, reports KSDK.com out of Springfield. Officials said they are looking at a narrow window to get the vaccines shipped and administered.
"If the vaccine is not taken within 14 days of the time exposed, it doesn't work," county health department director Kevin Gipson said. "So we are really on the clock, which is why we are doing this very quickly and we need your help to get the information out."
Hepatitis A onsets as an acute disease of the liver, caused by an infectious virus. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, yellow skin, fever, and abdominal pain. The virus can easily be transmitted through contact. It is usually spread by eating or drinking food or water contaminated with fecal matter. Even microscopic amounts can carry the virus.
The Red Robin location has since passed a state health inspection and has been reopened for business.

The London Hotel Could Be Yours for $500 Million
Get those Michelin sparklers back, if you feel like it.
In a move somewhat similar to previously announced plans for its West Hollywood hotel, the Blackstone Group is reportedly looking to divest its interest in the London New York, home to Gordon Ramsay at the London and Maze. The Real Deal notes that the news may mean an eventual closure of the restaurants, which recently reached a renewed union contract with the management. Despite its name, Gordon Ramsay at the London has no real connection with the British chef, and recently lost its two Michelin stars. [The Real Deal, Related, Related]

'The Physics of Wall Street': The Most Arrogant Book in the World? Part 14
Aaron Brown
More on quant equity.
Editor's note: The following column is the 14th part of an ongoing series of articles by Aaron Brown examining the claims made in
The Physics of Wall Street: A Brief History of Predicting the Unpredictable
a new book by James Owen Weatherall.
to read Part 1.
Last week we looked at Physicist James Weatherall's
The Physics of Wall Street
and his wacky solutions to problems like the quant equity crash of August 2007. This week we'll look at the real problems.
Quant long-short equity is a simple strategy in principle. If you buy a large random basket of stocks, you can expect volatility around 20% per year in average times. If you buy a large random basket of stocks and go short a random bucket of other stocks in the same amount, your volatility drops to about 8% because the short positions offset much of the gains and losses from long positions. If you select your baskets carefully, you can get the volatility down to something like 2%. A typical quant long-short equity manager might try to find such a 2% volatility portfolio with an expected return of 2% per year, net of financing costs. This would give her a Sharpe ratio (return net of financing costs divided by volatility) of 1 and a low or zero correlation to the overall direction of equities, which would be quite valuable to institutional investors like pension funds and endowments.
However, the strategy would be difficult to market in this form as institutions are generally looking for higher returns. So our manager might lever her strategy 3 to 1 (6 to 1 gross leverage) to get an expected return and volatility of 6% per year. If she had $100 million to invest, she would buy $300 million of stock and short another $300 million of stock.
Leverage becomes the principal market risk of this strategy because so much effort has been made to squeeze out all the other risks. The portfolio has offset long and short positions in every country, industry, and type of company. It is balanced carefully to moderate risk from macro events, and diversified so broadly as to be protected against most micro events. It is monitored closely and uses only very liquid securities, so it can reposition quickly when necessary. Other than leverage problems, most of the market events that could damage this portfolio would result in slow bleeding rather than dramatic crisis losses (of course, there are still credit and operational risks that could cause sudden disasters).
Leverage imposes costs as well as risks. The direct financing costs are obvious. Less obvious is a mathematical disadvantage. Suppose one month your long positions go up 8% while your short positions go up 10%, resulting in a 1% loss to the unlevered portfolio. The next month the long positions go down 8% and the short positions go down 10%. Net, your long positions have gone down 0.64% (the square of the 8% move) while your short positions have gone down 1% (the square of the 10% move). The unlevered portfolio has a profit of 0.18%.
It's a different story for the levered portfolio. The 1% unlevered loss in the first month translates to a 6% loss with 6 to 1 gross leverage. This requires a 13% reduction in the long positions and a 15% reduction in the short positions in order to keep the legs in balance and the leverage at 6 to 1 (a real portfolio would rebalance more frequently than monthly and at price movements smaller than 10%, and would have more sophisticated algorithms to reduce the leverage drag, this is just a toy example). As a result, the levered portfolio cannot take full advantage of the second month. Instead of getting six times the 0.18% return of the unlevered portfolio, a positive 1.08% return, it actually loses 0.36%.
This routine drag can become dangerous when the cost of leverage goes up due to less willingness of lenders to extend credit and increased cross-sectional volatility in the market. Cross-sectional volatility, also called "dispersion," refers to the differences in performance of different stocks on the same day, as opposed to time series volatility (usually just called "volatility") that refers to the performance of a single stock or index over successive days. The increased costs lead to reduced leverage as well as fund losses that require further leverage reductions. This trading soaks up liquidity in the stock market, which results in even higher trading costs, hence bigger losses, hence more position reductions. Lenders get nervous at the illiquidity, volatility, and losses, and become less willing to lend, driving up lending costs and exacerbating the spiral. If investors start to pull money out of the strategy, the crisis intensifies further. Opportunistic traders spot the situation and try to jump in ahead of the quant equity fund managers, throwing gasoline on the fire.
This is common knowledge among quant managers. It's not an abstract theory; the effect is always present and has often risen to significant proportions. It is measured and managed in the normal course of business. Surviving traders are quite sophisticated at managing the risk. The version that occurred in August 2007 was the largest ever observed, but it was not fundamentally surprising.
An important point that most commentators including Weatherall miss is that the leverage-induced crash described above does not depend on the quant hedge funds all holding the same positions. All that is necessary is that there be enough overlap that some securities have significantly unbalanced holdings with quant funds as a group mostly long or mostly short. Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid this situation. There are stocks that will go up tomorrow, and stocks that will go down. Anyone who makes consistent money will have to be overrepresented with long positions in the stocks that go up, and overrepresented with short positions in the stocks that go down. If there were a small group of small hedge funds, they could avoid overlap by using different approaches. But with the large number of large funds that we have, significant overlap is inevitable. The only strategies that can be safe from this effect are the ones that don't make consistent money.
Thus the seeds for the quant equity crisis were sown by the success of the strategy. This was recognized decades ago, and people have taken countermeasures. One thing you can do is develop new signals constantly through original research, to find profitable spread trades outside the set of popular quant stocks. Another is to monitor activity in your stocks and news about competitors to detect quant overcrowding. Or you can refine your execution capability to take advantage of liquidity pockets during large stock moves. Funds do all these things and more.
Unfortunately, all these efforts of funds to protect themselves increase the systemic risk. Lots of people trying new strategies means there's more chance for error, plus those new strategies tend to be less profitable than the time-tested published strategies, so they require more leverage. Watching your stocks and competitors to buy or sell before others do makes markets unstable, like everyone trying to get out through a small door at the same time. More sophisticated execution can also lead to errors or instabilities. There is a more direct link as well. Your success and apparent safety encourage new entrants, and allow them to survive for a while without good risk management. These are often the largest players, hoping to make up in size for their late start, who run the riskiest businesses, both because they have to distinguish themselves from established funds and because they have not yet learned the harsh lessons of experience.
Attempts to reduce local risk create systemic risk. This is a general point, not just applicable to quant equity. The reason it is so obvious in quant equity is that many of the other risks have been reduced, and also that the kind of people who run quant equity strategies are more interested in truth and less interested in rewriting history to defend their actions so it's easier to get at the truth. Next week we'll discuss why instability introduced by efforts to make things safer is inherent to financial markets.

Dudley-Giles, Sharpe Earn Preseason All-MAC Honors By Athlon Sports
June 19, 2014
AMHERST, Mass. - Trey Dudley-Giles and Tajae Sharpe were each named to the preseason All Mid-American Conference squad by Athlon Sports on Thursday. One of the highest rated magazines covering sports, Athlon Sports named Dudley-Giles as the MAC's second team punt returner and kick returner, while Sharpe was named to the third-team offense.
Dudley-Giles was recognized earlier this summer by Phil Steele who selected the Florida native as his first-team punt returner and third-team kick returner. Sharpe was also named by Steele to the third-team MAC offense at wide receiver.
A junior cornerback from Dade City, Fla., Dudley-Giles was one of the top specialists in the Mid-American Conference last season averaging 12.2 yards per punt return and 22.3 yards per kick return. Additionally, he started nine of 11 games played with 42 tackles, three pass break-ups and two fumble recoveries.
Sharpe is the top returning wide receiver for UMass after leading the team last year with 61 catches for 680 yards and four touchdowns. The junior from Piscataway, N.J., ranked eighth in the MAC among wide receivers in 2013 and figures to once again be one of the league's top targets. The two-year starter enters the 2014 campaign with 81 career receptions for 886 yards.
The 2014 UMass football season kicks off on August 30 as the Minutemen host Boston College at Gillette Stadium. Season ticket plans are currently on sale with packages for the entire six-game home schedule. Fans can purchase a six-game package which includes the three games at McGuirk Alumni Stadium and Gillette Stadium or three-game packages for each of the two home fields. Group tickets for 15-or-more fans can also be purchased at this time for either venue.
To order season tickets, visit www.UMassAthletics.com/tickets for complete information or call 866-UMASS-TIX (866-862-7784). To order group tickets, call 413-545-1401. Single game tickets for the Boston College, Colorado and Eastern Michigan games are also on sale now through www.TicketMaster.com.

Famous entertainers playing this year include Kid Rock, Don Cheadle, Kenny G, Joe Kernan (CNBC), Darius Rucker, Ray Romano, and Kurt Russell.
Tiger Woods is not playing at Pebble Beach this year, he is scheduled to play a private event for big upfront money at the Dehli Country Club in India this week. Phil Mickelson is playing Pebble Beach this year.
Phil Mickelson has already won the Pebble Beach Pro-Am four times. If Phil Mickelson wins this year he will tie Mark O'Meara for the most ever wins at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am with five. Sam Snead also won the Pebble Beach Pro-Am four times, while Jack Nicklaus and Johnny Miller each won three times (just this tournament, not total wins at Pebble Beach).
Tiger Woods has only won the Pebble Beach Pro-Am once (2000) in his career. Tiger Woods also won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in 2000. Tiger Woods has not played the Pebble Beach Pro-Am every year in his career. Phil Mickelson, who is from California, usually plays the Pebble Beach Pro-Am annually.
There will 156 professional golfers and 156 amateur golfers teeing it up for the first round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Thursday.

paradise has the better crashes since they don't have to go by the license car rules of crashing. However, as much fun as i had in paradise, I still remember frustrating things like having to run a perfect race with no random crashes to get 1st and move on.
Hot Pursuit. But then again, I didn't have two dozen XBL friends with tons of free time when Paradise came out, so my experience with it was probably worse than most.
Regardless, Hot Pursuit didn't leave my Xbox disc tray for three weeks and I go back to it to make sure I'm still the top of the speedwalls, or retake them if necessary.
I've been top of 'em all for too long... *lofty shake of head*

Personally, I feel like Burnout Paradise has the more robust single player between those 2. Without multiplayer in Hot Pursuit, you're basically working through a simple list of races one after another, most of which are basically the same thing just on a different track. Paradise has a giant city (bigger than Most Wanted's too) with a lot of different event types, and a lot of stuff to just explore and fiddle with (I found hunting down billboards to be surprisingly fun). Paradise's multiplayer is definitely awesome, but I was able to play it by myself for longer, and had a lot of fun doing so. No Autolog invading everything either, which may be good or bad to you.
Also, I've never played Forza, but they might have decent single player options too. Might be worth looking into.

Thanksgiving Planning
Click on the comments you'd like to print with your recipe. Grayed out comments will not print.
I'm thinking about brining my turkey, but the plastic wrap says it's already infused with a salt solution. Would it still benefit from brining? Would it be too salty?
thank you.
Your turkey sounds like it has already been brined, so I wouldn't do it again. ~Elise
This is in response to "Mo" who was looking for dishes that travel well. We are also making a 6-8 hour drive, in our case from Tucson to San Diego this Thanksgiving. Because my partner does not eat meat, but does eat fish, we've been asked to bring Salmon. So we might try to bring prepackaged smoked salmon, the kind that does not need refrigeration. I've seen it on line at Costco. You could probably also find wild-caught, which is preferable at health food stores. We will probably pack ours on ice, just to be safe, although that's my own paranoia. Good luck.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I love your website and your down to earth style with your details and explanations and personal sharing! PERFECT! I've been on a ton of websites trying to create the perfect Thanksgiving menu. We host every year, you think it'd be easier but something isn't what I remember from growing up or it's just too many things needing to finish all at once and then everything is late… I only make and eat turkey once a year so I want it to be perfect and even ATK changes it's turkey advice.. anyway, I loved finding your website it's a real gem! I have been online way too long and it's after midnight but I look forward to reading more of your website. THANKS for inspiring and guiding and NOT overwhelming!
I'm a big fan of the Alton Brown method of cooking turkey, which doesn't involve cooking breast-side down, but uses a foil "heat shield" (which I think accomplishes the same thing.
Also, if you don't want to brine yourself and have access to a Kosher butcher, Kosher turkeys come already brined, since it's part of the certification process.
Get the Air Bake cookie sheets. They make the best cookies! It shouldn't burn (unless you leave it in too long, of course).
Hi Elise,
This is a bit off topic, but it is related to the holidays! We just remodeled our kitchen and I've lost most of my old, OLD cookie sheets.
Shopping for new ones, I was suprised how many different types of pans there are. I'm lost! I don't want to make up a whole batch of cookies, only to have the bottoms burn because I choose the wrong type of pan.
Any advice on what I need to look for in a good cookie sheet would be most appreciated!!
All of these look delicious!
I envy that Thanksgiving dinner. Living in Panama I may do a little, but not the complete spread you have there. Looks great. My mouth is watering.
I am going to make a squash puree. I will roast it in a similar fashion but then at the end scoop out the squash and simmer with butter and heavy cream…almost like you would make soup but not as much cream. I will use a hand mixer to puree it although a blender or food processor would work as well.

I definitely suggest brining. I always thought of turkey as a carrier for gravy and dressing only. Once I started brining, I actually started eating the turkey for taste of it.
I also suggest using a probe thermometer and cooking to temperature, not time, and not using that built in thing.
My mother ALWAYS cooked her turkey breast-side-down for the same reason. I've tried it both ways and have to agree, the breast-down makes for the most flavorful and moist breast.
If you haven't tried BRINING your bird, I strongly suggest you give it a try. Whether you're cooking the turkey traditionally or deep frying it (another fun thing to try!) it really adds moisture and flavor and shortens the cooking time a bit as well. Here's one (of many) articles on the web about brining your turkey.

Recently I have started doing Insanity exercises. After a workout I obviously get drenched in sweat. After 5 or so minutes of cooling down, I really begin to feel the chills. I have to wear a sweater to compensate for the cold even when I am in a normal room temperature. Is this normal or am I just getting too anxious?

There is an absolute possibility your experiencing dehydration. I would consider increasing water intake pre-workout significantly.
I don't have an answer , just a description of what happens to me during exercise! I run quite a bit, it's my exercise of choice , and I sweat and get quite warm when I do this . Obviously I feel thirsty to some degree and rehydrate. Now! When I do resistance training, or (weightlifting) at the gym, I get perhaps a little warm during the workout with what I would consider a small degree of sweat. That being said, my thirst is twice as much during my weightlifting low sweat workouts AND between my sets as I catch my breath , I notice my skin in some areas mostly lips turning slightly blue! I don't understand much of this at all. It all just seems to contradict itself .

March 4, 2013
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Kyle Anderson of the UCLA men's basketball team has secured Pac-12 Player of the Week honors for the week of Feb. 25-March 3, as announced by the conference office on Monday.
Anderson averaged 19.0 points per game and 11.0 rebounds per game in a pair of victories at home last week. The freshman from Fairview, N.J., registered his eighth double-double of the season in UCLA's 79-74 overtime win against Arizona State last Wednesday and finished with 17 points in a 74-69 win against Arizona on Saturday.
Against the Sun Devils, Anderson went 6-for-14 from the field (.429) and shot a perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line. With 21 points that evening, Anderson was one of three UCLA freshmen to tally at least 20 points. He also added 15 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal.
In UCLA's 74-69 win before a record crown in Pauley Pavilion on Saturday night, Anderson tallied 17 points and shot 8-for-16 from the field (.500). He scored 15 of his 17 points in the first half and finished the game with seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal.
Anderson has scored in double figures in each of UCLA's last four games. He has grabbed at least 10 rebounds in 11 contests.
Anderson is the second UCLA player to secure Pac-12 Player of the Week acclaim this season. Classmate Shabazz Muhammad secured Pac-12 Player of the Week honors on Dec. 31, 2012, after having scored 27 points in an overtime win against Missouri in Pauley Pavilion on Dec. 28.
UCLA (22-7, 12-4) closes its regular season with a pair of road games this week. The Bruins play at Washington State on Wednesday night (6:30 p.m.) and will play at Washington on Saturday (11 a.m.).

For the past couple of years, I've been posting online under a pseudonym. That's not news, but this is:
I'm dropping the ruse. That funny-looking name you see next to the byline is indeed my own.
While this site is still largely a personal hobby, it's proven to be something that I now feel like I need to utilize professionally. So if I'm gonna "take ownership," I have to put my name on it.
Are things going to change now that I'm unmasked? No, not really. I'm still gonna go for the visual pun (see above) when I feel the urge, pepper the prose with one-liners, and exploit my bulldog for branding and marketing purposes.
In short, I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing. Happy New Year!
32 Responses to "Programming Note"
Happy New Year! It is time that I also stop using a pseudonym, and come clean to the readers here that I am in fact Don Zimmer.
Call yourself what you like, Luke, but please just continue to provide us this service and forum.
I remember once defending you from spurious comments on NFA. I believe I said something like "Hey, hold on there…Sue may be a chick, but she's a chick who KNOWS baseball." Someone then explained.
I didn't post again for about a year.
Damn blogging transvestites…
Doesn't this sort of thing cause psychological damage?
Hi Luke. I made the transition a couple of years ago from anonymous (dcbatgirl) to myself and think it was the right choice. Keep up the good work!
Good to meet you Mr. Erickson. Ironically I was just considering the advantages that you, TangoTiger and the Common Man's enjoy in anonymity and wondering if that wasn't the right way to go in the first place.
'keep doing what i've been doing' sounds good to me, Luke. And Positively, you're handle has been around since the 'Journals' inception, so I got rather used to it–a few originals are left, but a lot of interesting ones appear to have disappeared. (or changed their moniker)
On this site I've switched back to Jeeves from my real name, Jackson Campbell. (shorter to write)
And Luke, I assume that Spike is actually called Spike.
Happy New Year to one and all from Prince Edward Island, Canada. As I look out the window I'm amazed that there is no snow on the ground at all, and the temperature is well above zero. ( centigrade )
Jackson: Jeeves works, and your rationale for an alias is much like mine (Bob in Manassas = BinM), and probably others as well.
Glad to see our wizard finally step out from behind the curtain, however. The New Year is as good a time as any for change, so good on you, Mr. Erickson. Looking forward to another year filled with news, observations & opinions on all things related to the Nationals minor-leagues, even if a few of them are mine.
I won't really give up the old name, although I started in 2005 with a series of other names the first year or two. Good to have Jeeves back. And I am not Don Zimmer, although if you saw a current picture of the old guy you would know why I thought it was a funny idea; I hope he lives another 25 years and continues to look even more Don Zimmer with time.
It is refreshing and amazing to start a new year with real optimism and chance to truly feel positively about the team. We did so in 2006, as well, but that was a cruel joke. There is real substance to the system now (including Gio Gonzalez as the replacement for high prospects).
Now let's just sign Prince Fielder, already. Any logjam that causes can be cleared with a trade for prospects with time.
Nice to meet you, Luke. I approve of the change, and I'm glad you're proud of your work — you should be.
All I ask for is the same quality of content. And as many pictures of Spike as possible.
nice to see you taking credit for all the work you do! keep those pictures of spike coming!
Hi Sue-Luke,
I am from Montreal and and old member of the Expos fans message board (french section), and one of the few who still roots for the Nationals (as an ex-expos).
Every year I go to a few of the Syracuse Chiefs game and before I always went to Burlington for the Nats rookie league team (Expos-Lake Monsters).
But last year, I went to Auburn in the same week-end as you were there. I asked the Doubledays staff people if they had seen that Sue Dinem lady…with no success…
Just want to thank you for the wonderful job you are doing keeping this blog alive…mostly after the end of Nats Farm Autorithy…
The Big Board and the Draft Tracker are so useful tools for Nats fans.
Keep on the good job Luke.
Not sure how sensitive he is, but how is Spike handling the name change?
Which newspapers did you write for in Oregon? I live in Corvallis and am a Nats fan a long way from home. These blogs make following the Nats and their organization a little more bearable.
Wow, I bet Tangent was really in the boonies back then. Thanks for all you do to make the Nats babies a little more "real" for me.
Happy New Year, Luke! Congratulations on the new/old handle 🙂
Luke, I'm not your father , but I'm glad your out of the closet. Ladies and gentlemen it's a boy! This is one of my favorite sites to visit and your humor adds to the excitement of what the Nats our doing with their farm system. Keep it up!
The Caped Crusader is unmasked! Glad to see that you're taking this thing above ground and will have access to some more media stuff to keep the transactions current. I hope that putting your name out there will yield profitable and fulfilling opportunities for you. I got a taste of how much work you put in, and I'm always amazed by your steadfastness and your positive attitude in making nationalsprospects such a great site.

By Sean Collins
Bringing your program national and global attention is always something that a coach aspires for. If a program is fortunate enough for that to happen, it means that somebody or a team is really good at what they do, which is obviously the goal. It also means free advertising.
For Director of Cross Country and Track and Field Fred Harvey, the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials and London Olympic Games ended up being a great recruiting pitch. It certainly caught the eye of sophomore Nnenya Hailey (pronounced kneen-yuh).
Hailey, who prepped Mt. Vernon Presbyterian School in Atlanta, Ga., transferred to Arizona from Clemson in the summer of 2013. She was a highly successful hurdler prior to college, setting school records and winning Georgia state title.
Hailey also represented Team USA at the 2011 World Youth Championships in Lille, France. She earned a first-place finish in the final of the 400-meter hurdles with a personal-best time of 57.93. She also had the fastest semifinal time in the field, 58.44, and the fastest preliminary time at 58.71. She also competed at the 2012 USA Junior Championships.
Hailey was hampered by injuries during her first and only year at Clemson. Following the 2013 season, there was a coaching change that caused Hailey to rethink her collegiate career.
"My coach (Lawrence Johnson) left," Hailey said. "He's one of the best hurdle coaches in the country and he was not there anymore. The coach that they were bringing in wasn't somebody I wanted to work with, so I asked my coach for some recommendations. He said Coach Harvey."
Along with that recommendation, Harvey met one of Hailey's high school coaches that worked with her on the club circuit. From there, Harvey spoke with Cecillia Hailey, Nnenya's mother, and the rest is history.
Former Wildcat and current volunteer assistant coach Georganne Moline helped bring Hailey to Arizona without even realizing it. Moline's run to a silver medal at the U.S. Olympic Trials and fifth-place finish London Olympics caught Hailey's eye.
"What appealed to me first was Georganne," Hailey said. "I watched her run and I was like, 'oh, look at this girl run.' I had never heard of her and she just came out of nowhere. I felt like, if he could train Georganne then he could train me. Good coaches can train good athletes that want to be great."
Moline is just one of many athletes to arrive at Arizona not as highly regarded as some other recruits, but leaving as one of the best in the country. Development is something Harvey and the coaching staff focus on.
"I always hope that with all the student-athletes we recruit and their parents, that they see the progress these athletes at Arizona make over the course of their career," Harvey said. "Looking at the progress rather than the glitz and glamour you get at other schools out there."
Hailey and Harvey both envisioned Hailey having early success at Arizona; however, it came in a different way than originally anticipated.
"I knew she was going to be successful here," Harvey said. "But the vision was for her to be successful at the 400-meter hurdles. If you look at her times, she never ran that fast in the 100-meter hurdles and 60-meter hurdles. So her success may have surprised some people, but not me. I know her and her work ethic, but the 400-meter hurdles is her main event."
Hailey took third place in the 60-meter hurdles at the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) Championships.
She then represented Arizona in the same event at the NCAA Indoor Championships where she earned second-team All-America accolades. Her season-best time of 8.21 came in New York City at The Armory Collegiate Invitational where she took first place overall.
"I was so successful during indoors because of my determination and Coach Harvey," Hailey said. "Last year, I pulled my hamstring so I felt like I was robbed of my outdoor season. So when I came here, I told myself that I had to go hard and that I needed to do better."
Hailey was one of only 16 athletes to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships, and only one of four underclassmen in the event. Despite that, Hailey wanted to make the final of the 60-meter hurdles and score points for the women's team.
"I really wanted to make the final," Hailey said. "That was my goal, but I didn't do that so it just makes me work harder. It just makes me hungrier because I know I can do better. At the same time, the 60-meter hurdles isn't my main event; I'm a 400-meter hurdler. My mindset in the 400-meter hurdles is so different. That's what I do, that's what I like. It's hard but it's my bread and butter, it's what I do."
With Hailey's versatility, Harvey has an issue that as a coach, he doesn't necessarily mind at all.
"She is the type of student-athlete that I always want to have in a college program," Harvey said. "You're limited on the amount of scholarships you have. But, she can run a lot of different races for us. She can run the 100-meter hurdles, the 400-meter hurdles, the 4x100-meter relay and the 4x400-meter relay. But you need to be careful and not overuse her."
"An ideal world for me would be to do the 400-meter hurdles and the 4x400-meter relay," Hailey said. "But I always keep an open mind and Coach Harvey knows that I trust him and I'll do what he tells me."
On Saturday at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., Hailey will run the 100-meter hurdles and 400-meter hurdles along with the 4x400-meter relay. It will be the first time in the 2014 outdoor season that Hailey has hurdled at either distance.
"I'm kind of nervous," Hailey said. It's only Morgan (Struble) and I running from Arizona. I prefer to run with more people but I just have to go out there and do what I need to do. I mean, it's Tracktown, USA."
Track meets at Hayward Field are unlike meets anywhere else in the U.S. They have great attendance at every meet and the fans cheer for everybody, not just Oregon's athletes.
"I'm really excited; I've never run at Hayward Field before," Hailey said. "The travel is kind of rough, but I know I'll be okay. Going to Tracktown is going to be fun. I've heard it's supposed to rain. It is what is, that's where the NCAA Championships are, so if it rains, it rains."
Hailey has long and short-term goals set for herself and knows what she wants to accomplish, most of them have been in her mind since the fall.
"Every year, before we start fall training, I write my goals on my mirror so I see them every morning," Hailey said. "On my mirror right now, it says "54.5," which is my goal for the 400-meter hurdles this year. My goal going into this weekend is just to set a personal best."
She has had some setbacks in her career due to injuries but that has not stopped her from setting the bar high for herself.
"I haven't run the 400-meter hurdles in two years," Hailey said. "I had hip surgery and then I pulled my hamstring. I won the World Junior Championships with 57.9 so I would like to be at 56.9 or around there. I want to win the Pac-12 Championships, too; that's on the mirror. I also want to make it to the NCAA Championships, the final of the NCAA Championships in the 400-meter hurdles. Then, the end goal is to run at the 2016 Olympics."
Hailey plans on sticking with Harvey over the long haul and he doesn't seem to mind one bit.
"She's a joy," Harvey said. "She's one of the most competitive and intense individuals that I've ever worked with."

Joint Statement From A.G. Schneiderman And D.A. Gascón On Consumer Reports Projections That Smartphone Thefts Are Up 94% In Just One Year
SAN FRANCISCO -- New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman and San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón today issued the following statement in response to Consumer Reports projections that the number of smartphone thefts nearly doubled from 1.6 million in 2012 to 3.1 million in 2013.
"Today's report showing smartphone theft nearly doubling over the course of just one year is the latest reminder of the urgent need for the wireless industry to take action now and end this global epidemic. There is no need to put off the implementation of technology that is available right now. Every week that passes, another family falls victim to violent and often deadly smartphone theft. Wireless customers are being targeted for their devices because the industry has failed to deploy existing safeguards in a manner that will end the surge of street crimes that often turn violent. These findings show how critical it is for the industry to fast-track implementation of these solutions on an opt-out basis. These solutions must be enabled by default."

Deaf Student Breaks Barriers
Serge Okogo has a very specific—and personal—reason for pursuing a master's degree in the Ethics, Peace and Global Affairs program at the School for International Service. He believes it will help him further the rights of disabled people in developing countries.
It's an area in which he is knowledgeable. Okogo himself is deaf.
"According to the World Federation of the Deaf, at least 90 percent of deaf people in developing countries have no education at all," Okogo explained. "This means there are over 180 million deaf people in the world without education."
His activism surfaced when he was growing up in Gabon. He served as president of a national association that advocates on behalf of people who are deaf and, later, as vice president of a federation that connects disability organizations across the country.
"My passion for working on behalf of those who are the most vulnerable took me to Haiti over spring break of 2011," he said. He volunteered on a project to improve educational programs at the Institut Montfort and St. Vincent's Center for Handicapped Children in Port-au-Prince, pushing educators to allow children to use local sign language.
During previous internships, Okogo organized after-school activities for youngsters at schools for the deaf in Mali and Gabon.
"Serge is fearless and bold and intellectually curious. He's crossing national borders and breaking sound, language and racial barriers, all while operating at the graduate level," said Professor Barbara Wien, who teaches Okogo in her Peace Paradigms course.
At AU, two sign-language interpreters accompany Okogo, who lost his hearing as a young child. He can read, write and speak French and is fluent in American Sign Language and Gabonese Sign Language. In addition, he reads and writes in English and writes and speaks two native languages of Gabon: Obamba and Bateke.
Okogo studied economics in his own country. In May, he graduated from Gallaudet University with a degree in business administration and international relations and then spent the summer in a United Nations internship.
Both Wien and Michael Schroeder, who teaches a course in International Organizations, said Okogo brings unusual on-the-ground experience that broadens their class discussions.
Okogo has a reputation for setting the bar high. While studying at Gallaudet, he worked at Gallaudet University Press, served as vice chair of the student advisory board for the Department of Business and was president of the Black Deaf Student Union. He also collaborated with his mentor, Cristina Berdichevsky, on the International Deaf Partnership Project (IDF).
"It's a deaf-friendly version of the Peace Corps that promotes deaf empowerment and solidarity across cultures in Latin America and francophone Africa," explained Okogo. "In connection with IDP, I participated in the Clinton Global Initiative for university students in 2010 and 2011 and received a distinction as a global citizen in April 2012."
At AU, he is a research associate for the Center for Research on Collaboratories and Technology Enhanced Learning Communities (COTELCO) and will be working on several new projects within the Center.
And what will he do in December 2014, when he completes the AU program?
"My dream is to become a diplomat for Gabon and to partner with the government and with businesses around the world to better address the challenges and opportunities triggered by globalization," Okogo said.

Prima lokatie, mooi appartement. Goed schoon. Met 2 badkamers voor 4 persoenen zeer comfortabel. Prachtig uitzicht op de Matterhorn. Voor herhaling vatbaar.

Excellent apartment in Hollerbach. Key Administrator Alice was very accommodating to us. Too bad there was no extractor fan in the kitchen. And wifi would have to be recommended. Furthermore, spacious rooms and 2 fine bathrooms with enough water! (No boiler) Skibahn / ski rental is 3 minutes away by car. From Hollerbach connection to Jochberg and Kitzbuhel. beautiful area.
Prima appartement in Hollersbach. Sleutelbeheerder Alice was bij ons heel meegaand. Jammer dat er geen afzuigkap in de keuken was. En wifi zou ook aan te bevelen zijn. Verder ruime kamers en 2 prima badkamers met genoeg water! (geen boiler) Skibahn/skiverhuur is op 3 minuten rijafstand met auto. Vanuit Hollersbach verbinding met Jochberg en Kitzbuhel. prachtig gebied.
Villa Nardi is a splendid occassion to see an italian house from inside! Really worth of the price if you travel to understand local culture. It is not a hotel room, nothing like BB standard. For those who have small children it is not good place - house is too big and children are affraid to be alone for night (story of contessa maybe not best advertisment...). It is very convinient location - easy travel to Padova and Venezia by bus, no need to search for parking place :) Big store close to villa. Needs internet ! In this time it is really everyday need ! We will come-back there.
Excellent apartment, the Internet is not working.
Swimming in winter is not available / further away,
For winter Buses from St Anton only to 18h back to Pettnau, so not very well served
Prima appartement, internet werkt niet.
Zwembad in winter is niet beschikbaar/verder weg,
Voor wintersport gaan bussen vanaf St Anton alleen tot 18u terug naar Pettnau , dus niet erg goed bereikbaar

A Visalia man was indicted Thursday on three counts of sex trafficking of minors by force, fraud and coercion, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California announced. Tyrell Richmond, 31, allegedly detained three female, teenage runaways in a Fresno motel. Investigators allege that Richmond prostituted the girls for about a week in Fresno and Visalia.
The girls were not allowed to leave the motel room, other that to get ice, prosecutors said. They were forced to turn all money they received from sex acts to Richmond. All three girls are said to be 16 years old.
Richmond was also charged with one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Richmond has three felony convictions, according to prosecutors. The nature of the previous convictions was not disclosed.
The arrest was the result of a joint investigation by the FBI's Fresno Child Exploitation Task Force, the Fresno Police Department Vice Unit and the Visalia Police Department. Prosecutor is Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Frye. The investigation was part of an undercover operation targetting prostitutes who appear to be underage.
Richmond remains in custody. According to prosecutors, he faces a sentence of 15 years to life in prison, as well as a $250,000 fine. Actual sentencing would be determined by federal sentencing guidelines.
Prosecutors successfully sought the indictment through a federal grand jury. The charges are only allegations, the U.S. Attorney's Office said, and Richmond is presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, No trial date was announced.

Watch a Bunch of Adorable Kids Freak Out Over Cow Tongue
"Needs a bit more salt."
You would think in this age of MasterChef Junior and kid chefs that more youngsters would be all about tapping into their inner Fergus Henderson, but the reactions to this giant slab of raw cow tongue presented on a platter would suggest otherwise. (The kid at the 57-second mark who says, "Now you get to look at it! Look at it!" while rotating the plate is definitely going to grow up to be a chef, though.) These kids shirk away from, then eat the mystery meat — "Needs a bit more salt" seems to be the most serious complaint. Straight ahead, watch one adorable kid hang his head in mock shame, then say, reluctantly, "That was so gross that I cannot even tell my mom."

CHARGE Syndrome Professional Packet
Practically every week, we at the Foundation get a request from one professional or another, asking for information on CHARGE. Most often it is a therapist or educator who has or soon will have a child with CHARGE in their classroom or as a client. They want to know many things, including, What is this thing CHARGE? What do I need to know about it? How can I best serve this child? In response to these requests, we have put together a packet of information for professionals. The sections were written by a variety of professionals with many years of experience with children with CHARGE syndrome.
This project was a collaborative effort. I especially want to thank Pam Ryan, who not only helped figure out what needed to be in the packet, but also found professionals to write the sections in a timely manner.
Although we feel this is already a fabulous resource, we know it can be expanded and improved. We need feedback: what works, what is missing (and who do YOU know who can write the parts that are missing), what can be improved... Please keep in mind that this is in no way meant to replace the Management Manual for Parents. It is a supplement for educators and therapists. Send all of your comments and other feedback to me at email@example.com.
The professional packet below is an interactive publication in Adobe PDF Format. If you do not already have the free reader installed, download Acrobat Reader. The sections may be downloaded individually by clicking on the article name or altogether by clicking on the "Full CHARGE Syndrome Professional Packet" link at the bottom of the article listings. If you need to order a printed version, contact the Foundation. There will be a charge to cover printing and postage on printed versions. Pass this information on to the professionals who work with your children, even those who already have lots of experience!
