Choking in Infants
Choking in Infants
Choking occurs when food or a small object blocks a baby's airway. If the airway is completely blocked, oxygen can't reach the lungs, and brain damage or death can result. This is an extreme medical emergency. Knowing what to do can help save your baby's life.
To clear a baby's airway, follow these steps (call 911 for verbal instructions):
When to Go to the Emergency Room (ER)
First, call 911 or emergency services right away. Then begin lifesaving measures while you wait for help to arrive. If you're alone, first try to clear your baby's airway (see sidebar). Don't attempt to drive to the ER yourself.
What to Expect in the ER
The emergency team will begin treatment right away. A breathing tube may be passed into your baby's windpipe (trachea). This sometimes pushes the object out. If not, the breathing tube may be placed through a small incision in the windpipe. The tube helps your baby breathe on the way to the hospital. In the ER, a doctor will gently pass another thin, lighted tube (bronchoscope) into your baby's throat to locate and remove the blockage.
|Keep small objects, such as balloons, raisins, small coins, and buttons, out of an infant's reach.
Tips to Help Prevent Choking
Cut your baby's food into very small pieces.
Avoid raisins, grapes, nuts, hot dog skin, and hard candies. These can easily become stuck in your baby's throat.
Don't let your baby play with small objects that can be swallowed, such as small toys, balloons, buttons, or coins.

Famed Swiss surrealist H.R. Giger passed away yesterday at the age of 74. Giger was known for his surrealistic artwork that was heavily influenced by science fiction. The most famous representation of his work is the design of the alien from the Alien films. Many of Giger's fans have decided to show their love for the artist through tattoos so we have gathered a gallery of some of our favorites to pay tribute to him. He will be missed.

Bob Tyrrell incorporated Giger's most famous work, the alien from Aliens, in this portrait of the surrealist.

You Can't Have a True Muslim State without Freedom, Democracy, Music, Art and Science
A model of society in which people are forced to worship is completely contradictory to Islam. In fact, it is not the threat of Islam but it is the threat of bigotry that concerns people. If true Islamic moral values were lived in the countries in question, there would be painting, music, art, science, democracy and freedom of ideas and belief, and Christians and Jews as well as others would be enjoying their freedom in the truest sense of the word and living in peace and in safety.
Surely, one of the most debated topics of the day is how Muslims view Christians and Jews, the rights of religious minorites in Muslim-majority countries, and whether there can indeed be democracy, freedom of thought and freedom of worship in Muslim countries. The world is used to seeing people who claim to represent Islam as they preach hatred, promote violence and terrorism while implementing dictatorial regimes and rejecting democracy and civil liberties. But is this true Islam? Do these people faithfully express Islam as we know it from Scripture?
Much of the time, people researching such matters turn to individuals or ideas as a point of reference, and these individuals or ideas are not at all reflective of the true nature of Islam itself. This is a major mistake; it is especially important to differentiate between bigotry supported by the classical rightist propaganda and the true teachings of Islam. In order to shed some light on the matter, it is imperative to understand the outlook of Islam toward democracy and freedom from its source: the Holy Qur'an.
As a Muslim, when I see any pressure put on Christians and Jews, especially in some countries where a majority of the society is Muslim, I feel intensely disturbed about this situation. I would be delighted when people live, trade, travel and pray at ease. And every true Muslim would share the same feelings with me. On the other hand, when the leftists are under pressure, it is equally something that makes true Muslims very uneasy. Thus it is my goal to ensure that everyone lives in peace and lives by their own beliefs sincerely, and to reveal that the persecution perpetrated in the name of Islam is not Islam itself but bigotry.
The rights of religious minorities, or the rights of others are generally an issue of legitimate concern in countries with Muslim-majority populations. However, this concern owes to the fact that true Islam is not being practiced in the countries of concern. Some people who are genuinely unaware of the morality of Islam, or obtain information from innacurate or dubious sources may end up harboring several prejudices and erroneous convictions on this subject. These people assume, for instance, that Islam will limit their lives or freedoms, or perhaps attempt to control their very thoughts or restrict the arts and sciences. The simple fact of the matter is, however, that Islam is a religion that ensures all manner of intellectual freedom as well as the freedom of worship and expression, that takes as a serious matter the rights of those people enjoined under its protection. Indeed, in a model where genuine Islamic morality prevails, Jews and Christians would be in the utmost peace and people from all walks of life, be they Hindus, Buddhists, Taoists, or nonbelievers -regardless of faith, culture or ideology- would be living in comfort as first-class citizens and enjoying their equal rights.
According to Islam, it is not only those who believe in God, but even those who be classified as idolaters are granted asylum and protection, and it is the responsibility of Muslims to ensure that they are allowed to live undisturbed and in peace as well. According to the Qur'an, Muslims are responsible to protect people who worship idols, as these people go from one place to another, even at the expense of their own life. This is an important criteria that Muslims must not be obstacles but rather guarantors of people's safety and freedom. And Muslims have a God-given responsibility to establish the comfort for all people, whether they are Christians, Jews, Sahabbeans, pagans or else.
Islam forbids not only physical pressure but also the slightest coercion and removes the basis of discrimination. Thus Islam -in its purest form- is not a threat to freedom but the guarantor of freedom. God says "There is no compulsion in religion." (Qur'an, 2:256) Even though some critical voices would bring forth various interpretations of this verse to oppose me, God's statement in the Qur'an is quite explicit for a sincere Muslim and leaves no room for doubt. Imposition is incompatible with human honor and it is also prohibited in the Quran.Sinem Tezyapar

Report: A6 chip in Apple iPhone 5 is a custom design; 1GB of RAM is aboard
0. phoneArena 16 Sep 2012, 00:55 posted on
While Apple really didn't break down the details of the A6 SoC in the new Apple iPhone 5, a report on Saturday says that the A6 is the creation of Apple's in-house design team; additionally, the report says that the new Apple iPhone 5 has 1GB of RAM, double the amount in the Apple iPhone 4S...

this site is FULL of comments like his... lol
this is the home for android users...
unbiased users have to mask themselves to survive in the comment sections...
he'll get 20 thumb ups by morning... i'll have a few down... (shrugs)

Home of android users? More like Apple biased website.
Hyping up a dual core, 1gb phone that is finally getting LTE is too much. I come here for news updates from many phones not just one.
34. JC557 (Posts: 1518; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
There's more apple bias overall in the tech site area. Hell, PhoneArena was quite biased towards Apple not that long ago. It was relatively recently that more people are calling Apple and their devout fans on their BS.
35. serious9010 (Posts: 254; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
Soo true dude! Like everytym I post something good about apple I get them thumb downs! This place's full of fandroids bro trynna impose them opinions on others... SHOO FA*DROIDS
52. sgtslayer321 (Posts: 36; Member since: 01 Oct 2009)
I am a Android user and I respect Apple's hardware but you have to admit that the A6 chip set is top tier at this point.
49. dr_fajardo12 (Posts: 118; Member since: 26 Aug 2012)
im a windows phone user . maybe this page is so informative that people here knows about phones and knows that iphone is not on par with samsungs or last nokia s phones
59. dragonscourgex (Posts: 307; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
I think this is more a long the "truth line". More people here actually do research on all different type of phones and not just rely on what Apple says.

Just because PA posts an article about Apple's new chip, you accuse them of being biased? Come on. I am not an Apple fanboy. I personally am curious about what is powering the iP5. I suspect there are one or more readers out there who share my interest.
32. wendygarett (unregistered)
I share :D
At least we finally know that a6 chips is not quad core...
take that Apple!! For make those marketing gimmick to brainwash fanboy
89. 305Bucko (Posts: 506; Member since: 07 Aug 2011)
Wendy some days you say good things about iPhone, some days you trash them... Dont let yourself get swayed by what others say. Dont be a fan, be yourself... all the time.
I like the apple avatar you had before. Especially since the person in the pic is not you.
38. serious9010 (Posts: 254; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
Here on PA everything is biased if non-android related. The site is infested with fandroids....
41. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
"Here on PA everything is biased if non-android related."
You must be a recent join. There are quite a few Apple fans as well. Even some WP and BB/RIM fans too.
45. Glim12808 (Posts: 394; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
I'm a WP fan but I also like Android. In fact, I had 2 Android phones but last December 2011, I converted one phone to WP7 and loved it. So now my primary phone is WP and my secondary is Android. Unfortunately this December, both my phones will be WP8 but I don't hate Android.
As to Apple, I like Apple products too except the iPad. Unfortunately I did not like Steve Jobs so that is what's keeping me from fully using the iPhone. Sorry.
46. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
why is it unfortunate that your buying W8 devices? If your sad about it.. dont do it. lol. No one will think less of you. :)
47. Glim12808 (Posts: 394; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
I'm not sorry I'm going to buy 2 WP8 phones. I'm sad actually to leave Android. But can't help crossing over completely to WP8... really, really love the OS.
58. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
I have the same dilemma. I absolutely love WP8, but I absolutely love Android too...
51. dr_fajardo12 (Posts: 118; Member since: 26 Aug 2012)
remixfa knows a lot about phones and is an android fan, he cant accept that wp is too awesome but he will, like all ifans.
95. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
what are you talking about? I own a windows 7.5 phone as well as android devices. I was making fun of the way the statement was typed, not the device.
54. kingpet13 (Posts: 139; Member since: 02 Feb 2012)
Almost any site that is not like cult of mac or something will have more android supporters. Gennerally android users are more likely to understand tech, so you will find them on thec sites more. However w "fandroids" are not always ignorant and biased. I remember in an article where samsung was accused of child labor, Taco, (if you don't know him he was the leader of this sites isheep and was constantly los ing arguments with us "fandroids) said something like that samsung is just as bad as apple and got almost 20 thumbs up and only a couple thumbs down. There have been other scenarios that I don't remember right now where people supporting apple got a lot of thumbs up. We do not just randomly thumb people down, we thumb you down if you say Iphone 5 is better than s3 and have absolutely no real argument to support that. If you have a good reason to say that however, we will thumbs you up, no matter who you are.
50. No_Nonsense (Posts: 826; Member since: 17 Aug 2012)
Oh yeah perfectly share your view here. And finally we all know that the processor in iPhone 5 is dual-core and a cross between the A9 and A15 architectures like the S4. The 1GB RAM is a welcome addition. I'd have got this one if it wasn't the 920 or S3.
96. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
ok, where are you gleaming this info.
The S6 chip is an A9 dual core 32nm HKG+ manufactured chip. In other words it is a modified Exynos 4212. Its not some "hybrid" of anything. And neither is the S4 Krait chip either. The Krait is a custom design that is neither a true A9 nor A15. However, it is an A9 in performance. Everything else is just salesmen trying to convince you its something better.
101. No_Nonsense (Posts: 826; Member since: 17 Aug 2012)
The S4 chip is a cross between the A9 and A15 architecture. The S4 is better than A9s but will be no match for true A15s when it arrives to the market.

86. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
how? it actually is not nearly as apple-pro as other articles… they did not even call this new chip structure innovation.. they did not say how this chip structure has probably been in the works for a while due to apple's acquisitions a few years back… they did not discuss how the A15 is based for servers and if htc/samsung/lg uses it, it will not function as well as this chip which is specially designed for a mobile os…
its called news… and this was certainly not pro-apple
2. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
Wow. Apple actually still can design new things. Nice, if it really lives up to Apples claims we finally have an Apple chip thats beefy not only in graphics performance.
18. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
I suspect that Apple's A6 chip will not exactly be beefy in comparison to say, the S4 Pro, but it will give a user experience that convinces the owners of 3GS and 4 handsets that they need to upgrade to the new iP5.
For Apple, it is more about keeping their installed base happy and profitability of the handset than performance comparisons to Android (or WP for that matter).
19. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
Indeed. What matters is real life performance.
25. nak1017 (Posts: 328; Member since: 08 Jan 2010)
Indeed. Real life test numbers that compare actual performance.
Buying a high-end phone is like buying a muscle car. I already know it's fast and I know the horsepower numbers are not the only thing that determine how fast it is, but I'd still like to know what the engine puts out regardless. So someone please clock this thing and tell me how many numbers it can crunch...
37. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Well, one piece of information appears to have leaked out - the iP5 is equipped with 1 Gb of RAM. There is an article on macrumors about the RAM spec for the phone based on part numbers that have appeared in photos of the A6.
42. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
its basically an exynos 4212 with a PowerVR, just like I've been saying.
64. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
where in the article did it say that, so you are questioning two different site man you are 'smart'
97. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
let me make this very simple for ya.
The A6, as I've said from the beginning is an A9 32nm HKG+ dual core chip manufactured by samsung. It is in laymen's terms basically a modified Exynos 4212 chip. That exynos is also an A9 32nm HKG+ dual core chip manufactured by samsung. Bot the A lines and Exynos lines have always been sister chips with slight modifications and different GPUs. Its not that hard.
However, Anandtech came out right away and said it looks like it "MIGHT" be an A15, and then everyone ran with it... and turned "MIGHT" into "IS" a long the way.
As far as I can tell, I was the ONLY person saying that was bullshyt and that it was in fact an A9 based 4212 sister chip.
So yea, that makes me "smart"... since I was the only one that was right.
84. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Geekbench has put up a benchmark score of 1601 for the A6. The article I read is posted on macrumors. The article makes the claim that the 1601 score exceeds scores produced by all Android phones on Geekbench. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find the listing of scores for all Android phones on Geekbench, so no frame of reference. I would expect the A6 to beat a GS II, but not a GS III.
98. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
if the A6 is a modified 4212, that is just the dual core version of the quadcore found in the SGS3 international version. The A6 however has a more powerful PowerVR GPU than the Mali400 that the Samsung uses... so some of the difference would be right there.
Without getting a breakdown of each category the score to see it all, its hard to tell. But I would expect it to be on par or slightly higher/lower depending on the GPU use.

You can write bunch of articles about the new iFAIL everyday but everyone knows that there are many great phones out there which iphone5 can not even come close to them.

7. good2great (Posts: 1042; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
no body is saying the iPhone 5 is the best phone man...
damn android won ok its the best... you happy now? get over it...
apple's brand will always be iconic and the talk of the town... it creates more buzz than anything else... look at the number of comments in all the previous articles... that's your proof...
all the writer is doing is informing us of what this A6 chip is about...
so many broken records in here... hahaha smh
never see any complaints when there are a bunch of android articles... but as soon as someone says something positive about apple is DOOMS DAY...lol
16. jshan (Posts: 200; Member since: 25 Dec 2011)
LoL ... There is no doomsday man ... It will happen at step by step ... C the thing bout apples processor ... It is what it is ... Android oh c'on man.. U don't need to say like "u win happy ? Stuff " ... Tell me some performances that over the iPhone but android does ????
73. good2great (Posts: 1042; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
my point is there's no comparison... android has the most powerful and up-to-date tech in their phones... no contest...
BUT this is still news it's worth reading about so people are informed of whats under iPhone's hood...
The same with windows phone... they will post some chip specs about that phone too...
just because its not android doesn't make it not worth talking about... GEEZ
88. jshan (Posts: 200; Member since: 25 Dec 2011)
Ok u win !! Android is the best and apple stolen by android !! Not android stolen by apple !! I'm I right ? That's the thing man .. Your taking all in wrong ways ... I do not need to make any bulls**ty arguments !! I'm fan of smartphone !! And I saw the quality only on apple. So I'm staying with em. I like HTC also.. But not the foolish Samsung !! Cz their copying things like children's in the schools ... C'on Samsung !! Try to be smart and do some ... Then u guys can do better than this !! And we shouldn't bash anyone.. Cz we are just customers !! Hey anyway do u have the list of sgs3 parts cost ?like ? Display ? Processor ? Etc ...

Everything on that list has been existing since ICS...
Once again, Apple is late to the game.
11. Savage (unregistered)
Knew it wasn't a quad-core. Remember how Apple kept emphasizing its 4S was a dual-core? I was suspecting since they didn't say anything about the no. of cores, the 5 must be dual.
And I don't think there will be a quad-core next year. Why does Apple need more cores on iOS? A newer chip will suffice.
14. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
less cores needed becuase the demands ios is askin for to run it is "less" than android phones........it does what it does and it does it well......only problem is ..........you're paying the same price you would pay for a laptop for a "pretty-basic" phone.............and i meant that its pretty AND basic lol
i feel the new xperia line is what we all been looking for........beauty, power, and its still android! so go figure

I thought I saw something the other day about an Xperia Nexus coming... For one reason or another, there has always been a deal-breaker for me with Sony smartphones, but an Xperia Nexus? That's got my attention, if true.

Ok, oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, my Galaxy S3 isn't really an S3, it's actually a Super Android Power Phone 5000, custom by me... Yeah, renaming something doesn't make it a custom.

Who cares as long as it provides twice the performance. A phone must be judged on the basis of real world performance not its specs. iPhone 5 is a very decent phone. In fact I am gonna be selling my galaxy S3 to buy it as the cheap plastic feel of the S3 is too much for me to bear. It's not about being an iFan or a fandroid. It's about what you want and what you prefer.

you people keep sayin a phone needs to be based on "real world" performance but all the reviews i have watched so far have shown me "buttery smooth" performance from the galaxy s3........and its not even runnin jellybean yet! so i still dont know how the iphone is better in real life performance or anything for that matter.......except design, thats all i can give the iphone

I did not say galaxy S3 is not good. It's a great phone! And it is smooth and will be as butterly smooth when it gets JB but the iPhone is pretty darn good. I hate accepting this but the design beats galaxy S3, the one x, 4X HD and thelumia 920 hands down. The best android in terms of design is the one s.

CHARLESTON - Philip Barbour battled defending state champion Oak Hill on even terms for nearly three quarters Thursday night in Class AA quarterfinal action before Kalif Wright took over.
The all-stater and player of the year runner-up scored eight points over a 3:00 stretch to close the third canto as the Red Devils pulled past the Colts for a 53-36 victory at the Charleston Civic Center.
Philip Barbour, despite being the eight seed in the tournament, never backed down against the taller top-seeded team and never trailed by more than eight points until Oak Hill's late surge to end the third quarter.

"This game was a lot closer than the final score indicated," said Philip Barbour coach Marcus Johnson. "No disrespect to Oak Hill, because they have a very good team, but we had our opportunities to win this game.
"We just got into foul trouble and they were able to wear us down at the end."
The turning point in the game came when the Colts' Isaiah Simon was whistled for his third foul in the third quarter. That limited the 6-foot-4 senior's defensive capabilities against Wright, who scored 14 of his game-high 32 points in the third. Teammate and second-leading rebounder Cody Lindsey also was forced to the bench in the third with foul trouble.
Philip Barbour trailed 19-15 at the half but an old-fashioned three-pointer by Sam Crickenberger brought the Colts within 26-24 with 3:22 remaining in the third
The Colts would come no closer as the Red Devils went on a 10-2 run to end the canto.
"We picked up our play in the third," said Oak Hill coach Fred Ferri Jr. "We were standing around a lot in the first half, especially on defense, and not playing good team defense at all."
The lead grew to 11 before a trey from Zack Summerfield brought Philip Barbour to within eight at 39-31 with 6:45 left in regulation. After a three-pointer by Tyler Rogers cut the deficit to 43-34, the Red Devils ended the game on another 10-2 surge.
Wright, who was the lone player in double figures for the winners, also had 12 rebounds, including six on the offensive end. Deandre Leonard added 10 caroms and eight assists.
Simon poured in 14 points and collected 11 rebounds for the Colts, who ended the season 17-9.
"Philip Barbour has a very good team and I don't know why they were the eight seed," Wright said. "Their big guy Simon is a good player and we're happy to get the win against them."
"I think Isaiah showed he can go against one of the best players in the state and hold his own," he said. "Our kids gave a great effort and played with a lot intensity. We just missed a lot of good looks at the basket, and with the foul trouble, were too mu
Oak Hill (23-3) faces Keyser today in semifinal action at 7:30 p.m.

Skip to comments.Anna Nicole Smith, The Investigation #3
Posted on 04/07/2007 3:14:35 PM PDT by mom4kittys
Thread Number 3
She needs to put her energies into keeping the fact the inquest has not taken place so the powers in charge in the Bahamas do not sweep this under the carpet... at this point Virgie IS the only person with a vested interest in making certain it happens and for that I encourage her to make herself a nuisance....
Virgie is Cassandra
From Wikipedia
Cassandra "she who entangles men") (also known as Alexandra) was a daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy whose beauty caused Apollo to grant her the gift of prophecy. However, when she did not return his love, Apollo placed a curse on her so that no one would ever believe her predictions.
She said Anna would end up dead.
She wanted Anna buried in the US. Dannielynn is not going to be living in the Bahamas. Now she will be separated from her brother and her mother.
We've got 4 people dead....J. Howard...then his son who was not elderly at all..then Anna's son and then finally Anna. Anna ruined her life waiting for that money to materialize. She had a career and was established. Instead she became a joke all because she thought she was going to win the lottery.
You could be right about that... her comments to the Houston station were certainly not as well formed as they were to Greta.
""""""If Virgie saw HKS two times in her life, how did Donna Hogan know him? And Virgie said she doesnt even know Donna Hogan!
""""You're not supposed to notice discrepancies like that"".
How is that so hard to figure?
Anna and Donna had the same father (Don Hogan) but different mothers.
Anna was born first. It's possible that Virgie never met Don Hogan's children born to other women after she divorced him.
How can Donna Hogan's knowing HK$ be related to Virgie's seeing him only twice.
I shop at Food Lion - so does my neighbor - I don't see her in the store - but we may see the same cashier each time. DUH!
I think she lost her career when she became a laughing stock.... and it was drugs that allowed her to make herself a laughing stock. That program the ANS show was a mess... who, in their right mind, was going to hire her after that?
Bodyguard: Birkhead Abusive to Anna Nicole
Maurice Big Moe Brighthaupt, Anna Nicole Smiths bodyguard, will detail how Larry Birkhead, the father of her daughter Danielynn, held her against her will and sent her threats by phone in his tell-all book, Baby Girl, due out in July by HarperCollins.
Birkhead is the reason Smith escaped to the Bahamas, according to Kenji Jasper, the author who is co-writing the book with Brighthaupt, who worked for Anna for several years and tried to revive her with CPR in her room at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino where she died.
Brighthaupt, pictured above with Smith and her companion Howard K. Stern, also will discuss Annas abuse as a child, abuse her mother turned a blind eye to, leading to a feud that would last for the starlets entire life, Jasper says in an email interview. He also will detail his efforts along with those of Stern and a doctor to curb Annas prescription drug use after the death of her son, Daniel. Brighthaupt also says that G. Ben Thompson, the South Carolina developer who tried to evict Anna Nicole from her home in the Bahamas, tried to bribe him with $500,000 to get into Annas house while she and Howard K. Stern were away.
Jasper, a founding cast member of BETs Teen Summit and author of several novels including Dark, Dakota Grand, and Seeking Salamanca, says he was tapped to do the project by Manie Barron of the Menza-Barron Agency, which represents both him and Moe.
Manie felt like we would be a good match as we were both from DC, Jasper says. As it turns out we grew up in the same neighborhood. Thus I had an interest in making this as descriptive and personal of a story as I could make it. Once Manie had paired us together and we had talked I wrote a proposal for the book, which Harper almost immediately became interested in.
I wanted the challenge of taking what could have been made into this really fluff or sensationalist kind of thing and try to make it classic, he added. I wanted to have a hand in writing the definitive book on Anna Nicole through the eyes of someone who knew her extremely well during her last days.
Last month, a so-called tell-all book by Smiths sister Donna Hogan, Train Wreck, hit the shelves to poor reviews by those who shared their opinions on Amazon.com. And in California, two of her booksignings scheduled for this week have been cancelled due to negative feedback from consumers.
Jasper says he expects Baby Girl to fare much better.
I think the book will be have a terrific reception, particularly as Moe was a key figure in Annas life as opposed to Donna Hogan, who Anna told Moe she hadnt had anything to do with in quite some time. I think readers really want to get Moes take on all that has happened in these past few months.
I wish them both success, but Im not one of those people who cares enough about anybodys take on Anna Nicole Smith to buy the book. Do you?
"""But I do not understand why she is demanding joint custody."""
Nobody does - because she is not. She just wants to have visitation privileges.
Said so on the record with Greta
"Why would Larry be any different? He is from the Hollyweird."
I have friends there who have very successful and down to earth kids....in their late 30's. Please don't put everyone in a "wierd" category.
Somehow, the fact Larry fought to get ANS off drugs comforts me when it comes to him raising his daughter, who is going to have a genetic pre-disposition to drugs.
I don't believe her... I believe Larry.
You be my kinda peeple Liz honey.
Y'all come back Yheah?
hafta tek keer o bidness
I grew up in So-Cal... not everyone there is depraved..
What Virgie (or anyone) says and what she does can be two very different things. What would you expect her to say on national TV...that she really, really wants some of that money? Of course any sane person wouldn't say that. Watch what she does. It will tell you more than anything she says.
kids....in their late 30s.
Anna's age - now that's weird
Who said Donna was Virgie's kid?
US troops have given the producers of ANNA NICOLE SMITH's final movie, ILLEGAL ALIENS, a boost - the armed forces have snapped up 6,000 copies of the straight-to-DVD sci-fi comedy
So how is it a discrepency? From your post it appears that you are saying that the only way Donna would know HKS is thru Virgie.
ROFLOL..... guess the troops need a good laugh...
My mother met my stepbrothers even though they weren't her kids. I think it would be reasonable to say that many to most people in that situation do the same. I think Virgie protested way to much about not having met Donna Hogan and I didn't find her credible on that point. YMMV.
So what is the June 9th custody hearing about in the Bahamas?
"""She needs to put her energies into.........."""
She should do what she herself believes is right...not what you or Howard Stern or Larry Birkhead's father think she needs to do...
Good grief!
""""So what is the June 9th custody hearing about in the Bahamas?""""
Have no idea - there's a gag order!
co-guardianship ..........
If she wins, that child is hers for six months, and Larry's for six months. Only she doesn't want the responsiblility.....that's a lot of work. She just wants to help control Larry's money.
Well I'm sure your stepfather wasn't accused of raping your mother's little sister. Maybe that would cause a wrinkle in future family reunions.
"This is Larry's baby - the battle for whatever money may come should be over. I'm guessing it is not."
Isn't Virgie pitiful?
You see the light! :)
Where did you hear about the child being hers for 6 months? Guardianship is not about custody.
I have never heard or read anything that states that Vergie wants to 'cut Larry out of control of Dannielynn's trust' Please provide proof for that lie. Also, you did not address the very poor wording you used in your statement. If poor Athina had read your post, she would think you were accusing her father of stealing from her!!! LOL!!
Yes, you are right about Thierry Roussel (his first name has an 'i' in it) fighting to raise her in a 'normal' family. Sadly, this is the 'normal' family he 'created' with his mistress while he was still married to her mother. After reading about her today, I feel very sorry for Athina, since she didn't have a 'decent' mother or father.
Also, I am happy to just 'agree to disagree with you' from now on. The tone in some of your posts today has come across as very argumentative, and I do not wish to discuss this subject in that manner any longer. IMO, there is room here for everyone's opinion.
Have a good evening!
The 'clarification' should have been in the poor wording of your original post, not in your mean-spirited replies to me.
IMHO it is almost impossible to believe any one person in the entire fiasco.
snip of Bon Bon -- and I don't particularly believe this either coming from this source:
Anna knew when Donna was writing the book, and she said to me in May that she never met her half-sister. (She was never aware of who she was when she signed her calendar at a calendar signing event - the only picture of the two together in her book). She told me that someone she didnt know at all was writing a book when she didnt even know her.
JANE: Regarding the Texas family, Hogan claims that the father she shared with Anna was a child molester. It has also been reported that Hogans sister Amy was homeless for a time, and that Annas half brother Donald Hart, Jr. spent six years in prison for kidnaping and terrorizing a paraplegic woman. This, along with Virgie Arthurs own history (first child at 15, mother of three by 20, grandmother by 34, and five marriages), would seem to indicate a highly dysfunctional family pattern. Hogan claims that she does not fit that pattern. Do you believe the book she wrote is indicative of being out of, or in, that dysfunctional mold?
Anna told me about the horrible things her brother and stepfather had done to her. It started when she was pretty young and went on until she left the house. She also told me that Virgie knew about it all, and went into great detail about her relationship with her mother and what she did to her also. I dont know much about Hogan except he left when Anna was two and Anna tried to reconcile with him during her Playboy era however it didnt work out.
so are you saying now you don't want the inquest to move forward but you do want Virgie to have shared custody of Dannielynn so SHE can file a wrongful death suit? You would prefer that to HKS going to prison?
"because both Virgie and I will be long gone before that matter is ever resolved."
O'Quinn is looking out for his grandkids and great-grandkids. Besides, he just doesn't want to lose! For some people it's all about winning no matter how many people they hurt along the way.
Why did E. Pierce fight? He died at 67 years of age. He fought for many hundreds of millions that he and generations of his family could never ever use. Some people just don't like to lose. It's pitiful. $$$$$
Won't that be special as she grows up?
Yep.. and I hope she is sanctioned for breaking the gag order yesterday.
But, Liz — sod just slapped my hands for saying I wanted Virgie to push forward to make certain the inquest takes place in the bahamas...
She said it last night on Greta — go back and read the transcript. she wants herself or someone from her family and another person from Larry's family to control the money — she doesn't find Larry (at 34) mature enough to control the trust.
Whatever you say. You seem to be an authority on all matters here.
LOL!! That is laughable on so MANY levels! I've never sued anyone, but I guess I would be considered 'sue happy' as well, if I believed that some one murdered my child and got away with it! LOL!! Not just SUE HAPPY, I'd be freaking SUE CRAZY to get justice for my child...but that's just me, maybe some people don't mind if the person responsible walks free....different strokes for different folks, I guess! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
I haven't been mean-spirited in replying to you. I have stated my opinion just as you have stated your opinion.
O'Quinn doesn't have any kids..at least that's what he said on one of the talking head shows. I was surprised to hear that.
I'm not up on the Marshall case but I thought it was reported that to give Anna that amount of money would have led to the company being dissolved and that's one of the reason why they were fighting it so. That could just be rumor though. If someone knows please post this info.
OQ doesn't look all that healthy (to me)... and we all watched him pass out in court.
""""You seem to be an authority on all matters here."""
I know - it is a burden to be sure.
This headlines for you from Foxnews.com
'Goat Man' Gets the Kid
More than a year after Charles Tombe 'married' Rose the goat, his 'bride' died, leaving a grieving 'widower' to care for his kid
I think he drinks or something. When he's on some of those shows he just as shaky as Anna was.
""""sod just slapped my hands for saying I wanted Virgie to push forward """
No, you didn't say you wanted .....you said "she needs to"
There is a difference - you have not wanted Virgie to do anything but give up, give in and give apologies for having lived a life of struggle that she managed to handle with guts and grace.
""""Some people just dont like to lose."""
Excellent summary.
I imagine Virgie didn't like losing her daughter and grandson...see what you mean.
Are you talking about the Greta interview? Where did she break the gag order?
I've wondered about that and being a diabetic that is a deadly combo for him.

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Review
0. phoneArena 06 Dec 2011, 07:21 posted on
The Mountain View company recently undertook a complete redesign of its platform. A bit risky, you say? Probably quite a few analysts have quoted the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" saying, but you know what? In our opinion, Ice Cream Sandwich is probably the best thing that has ever happened to Android...

I hope HTC's Sense UI gets on well with ICS--- because the reason why I stuck with Android specifically is because of HTC's Sense UI. Going over to any other phone/manufacturer for me is just... unthinkable. No matter how many times I experience the Galaxy S II or review other UIs, it's HTC Sense that does it for me. So... For HTC Sense... I hope the functionality doesn't disappear, but the visuals get an optional refresher. (I mean optional because I freaking LOVE it for how it is).
I will have to admit though... I am not that happy with the elimination of the context menu. I always look within the context menu instead of the app first when I want to do something and even though I can do the same thing with both of those options, I like the freedom... So this futuristic-looking OS.. I don't know if it will work for me... The only thing within this article I'm liking is what they did with the People app and the keyboard. The others... *sigh* There's a reason why I chose the well-done Sense UI instead of a Galaxy two years ago and there's a reason why I have two HTC phones in the house (and about to add another). I love those four Android capacitive keys... Not liking the vanilla Android experience.

In the face of the United States' first case of West Nile fever this year in neighboring New Mexico, local officials have called for increased awareness about the disease.
Officials in that state confirmed Wednesday that a man in the Four Corners area, which also includes Colorado, Utah and Arizona, has recovered from the mild form of the disease.
The mosquito-borne West Nile virus can cause encephalitis or meningitis, sometimes fatal forms of the disease. In New Mexico, it killed four people last year, all of them in their 70s or older.
"It doesn't surprise me that it is in New Mexico," said Dr. J. Rush Pierce, Amarillo's public health authority. "New Mexico was one of the hard-hit states last year."
The three deaths were among the 65 probable and confirmed cases of West Nile in Randall and Potter counties last year, he said.
Local officials expect and early start to 2005 season, with the Environmental Health Department having started larvaciding earlier this year.
The department has also increased surveillance, he said. "We want citizens to report dead birds."
Dead birds are a sign of West Nile in an area.
"Thus far this year we have had no positives in this region. The closest we have come is Lubbock," said Suzan Norwood with the zoonosis control division at the Texas Health Department in Canyon. "We expected to start any minute now because we're heading toward that time of year."
Temperatures need to average 70 degrees and above for mosquitoes to transmit the virus. They may be infected with it, but they can't transmit the disease to horse or humans below that temperature, she said.
The disease typically causes flu-like symptoms such as fever, nausea, headache and muscle aches.
Public health officials urge prevention measures that include: staying indoors at dawn, dusk and early evening; wearing long-sleeve shirts, long pants and socks outdoors; using DEET-containing insect repellent; making sure window screens fit tightly and have no holes, or leaving windows shut; and not letting water stagnate in places such as old tires, flowerpots and trash containers.

Thai Airways Inter-national along with more than 60 other airlines have confirmed they will stay at Suvarnabhumi Airport despite the government plan to reopen Don Muang as a second international terminal.
Meanwhile, three budget airlines, AirAsia, Jet Star Asia and Tiger Air, are expected to move to Don Muang Airport, said a source in the aviation industry.
At the board of directors meeting yesterday, THAI chairman Chalit Pukbhasuk said the airline had resolved to operate both domestic and international flights at Suvarnabhumi. Earlier, THAI planned to move its non-transit domestic flights to Don Muang.
"We have invested hugely in the new airport and we're also committed to provide facilities to clients of the Star Alliance members," he said.
THAI has invested Bt16 billion in facilities and equipment for the new airport, which has been opened for four months.
Chalit's statement is in line with the comment from an aviation source who said that the Board of Airline Representatives in Thailand (BAR), which represents more than 60 airlines operating in Thailand, including Thai Airways International Plc and all members of Star Alliance, have confirmed that its members will maintain operations at Suvarnabhumi because of the huge investment they have made.
"The airlines are now becoming more confident in using Suvarnabhumi Airport after the government reported the cracks in the taxiways and runway are not serious and it is committed to fixing the problems," the source said.
Council of Engineers President Vira Mavijak also said yesterday that Thai engineers are capable of fixing the problems at Suvarnabhumi without any help from foreign experts. He is against the Airports of Thailand chairman Gen Saprang Kalayanamitr's idea of appointing foreign engineers for the job, citing it would be a disgrace to the country.
"Moreover, problems at Suvarnabhumi are tiny and need not to be concealed given that they do not lead to safety problems," he added.
Transport Minister Theera Haocharoen will meet airline representatives today (February 15) to discuss further details about the operating of two international airports.
Theera cited earlier that Don Muang must be reopened as a domestic and international airport due to congestion at Suvarnabhumi. As some airlines move to Don Muang, traffic would be lighter at Suvarnabhumi and pave the way for repairs of the cracks on runways and taxiways.
It is not certain if Don Muang will be permanently reopened.
Meanwhile, according to the aviation source, Don Muang Airport could be reopened permanently but only for domestic flights.
AirAsia, Tiger Air and Jet Star Asia would move all the operations from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Don Muang Airport once the government makes a final decision on re-opening Don Muang.
"AirAsia is a Malaysian airline while the other two carriers are Singaporean. They will use Don Muang, where they don't need to make much investment," the source said.
However, Thailand's two budget airlines - Nok Air and One Two Go - are considering moving to Don Muang Airport but are waiting for clearer answers on how the authorities would operate the two airports.

I thought it would be nice to relate a story highlighting the importance of a sustained relationship with a family veterinarian.
Oliver is a 5-year-old Papillon mix. Judging from the fact that his owner came to us from Hilton Head Island, and that her father accompanied her for the appointment, and her mother for the discharge, and from the alternating expressions of love and concern for little Oliver, it was obvious that he occupies a special part of an extended family.
Oliver's medical records were complete and regular. Vaccination history, annual physical exams, medications, etc. It was all there. It was a testament to the commitment, on the owners part, to the health of their dog.
The records displayed the work of a thorough veterinarian. This may not have stood out to me, as much as it did if it hadn't been for the nature of the visit. Oliver was here for a tumor. Not some external skin tumor, visible to the whole world. Oliver had a tumor of the anal sac.
For those who aren't familiar with this bit of dog anatomy, the anal sacs sit within the anal sphincter. They are at about 4 and 7 o'clock, and serve to produce a very unpleasantly scented liquid that is used as a territorial marker. These are the same structures that produce the spray that skunks emit when threatened. The contents also are often expelled in our examination rooms, as dogs sometimes feel threatened in there. I took a quick look under the tail, but the mass was unapparent. I then put on the dreaded glove. As I performed the exam, my first thought was, "Great, these people have come all the way from Hilton Head, and there is no tumor."
At first, I could not feel a thing. The problem is that I was expecting what I always seem to feel; a large olive size, or larger, tumor that cannot be missed. I usually then feel further in and find that the lymph nodes are also involved.
I had to ratchet down my expectations, and then it came into focus. This mass was indeed there, but it was tiny. The size of a ladybug, at best.
The tumor type is known as an apocrine gland adenocarcinoma of the anal sac. This is the most common tumor type affecting the anal sac. They affect males and females equally, but certain breeds, such as Dachshunds and Spaniels, are more frequently affected. The average age is about 10 years.
These tumors, though relatively uncommon, are serious because they have a strong tendency to spread to local lymph nodes and eventually the lungs. They are usually fatal.
Part of the problem is their location. Owners don't examine that area, and the first sign they usually note is their dog's constipation and straining to defecate. They then take the dog to the vet, who finds a large anal sac tumor.
The problem is even worse than it seems, because the straining is usually caused by the internal lymph node tumor that you can't see.
This means that most of the time, by the time I see these cases, the tumor has already spread.
The prognosis is tied to the size of the tumor and whether it has spread to regional lymph nodes or distant sites. Overall, the average survival time for these patients is 15 months when treated surgically.
Chemotherapy definitely extends life expectancy when used in conjunction with surgery. But the best prognostic factors are early and complete removal of small masses that have not spread. These average a nearly three-year survival time.
Oliver's case was, by far, the earliest diagnosis I have ever seen. His surgery was uncomplicated and we were able to excise his small mass entirely.
Given its size and the fact that there was no evidence of spreading, I expect Oliver to be back at the center of his family for years to come, and it's really thanks to a regular and established relationship with a very thorough family veterinarian.

• Six patients with hypoxic respiratory failure (arterial Po2/alveolar Po2<0.50) resulting from active tuberculosis were evaluated to assess the impact of respiratory failure on the diagnosis of the underlying tuberculosis. All patients demonstrated anemia (hematocrit [mean±SEM], 0.29±0.01 [29.0% ±1.0%]) and hypoalbuminemia (serum albumin, 22±2 g/L [2.2±0.2 g/dL]) and noted an illness longer than one week. Findings on chest roentgenograms varied from a miliary pattern, misinterpreted as congestive heart failure, to cavitary and noncavitary alveolar infiltrates, misdiagnosed as bacterial pneumonia. Tuberculosis was not considered as a diagnostic possibility on admission in any patient. The mean time from admission until consideration of tuberculosis was 4.7±1.0 days and the time to diagnosis was 7.2 ±1.7 days. In contrast, tuberculosis was considered on admission In 12 patients presenting with undiagnosed active tuberculosis without respiratory failure. We conclude that respiratory failure delays the diagnosis of active tuberculosis by suggesting nontuberculous pneumonia.

Both the Juniata and East Juniata girls soccer teams have something to brag about following the 2012 season.
The Tigers made it to the PIAA Class A tournament and were good enough for the District 4 runner-up spot. Juniata, who won the District 6 crown last season, fell to Forest Hills in a rematch.
But players from both teams were awarded, individually, for their accomplishments this season.
East Juniata coach Lori Goodling was named the Tri-Valley League Coach of the Year this season. On the first team were Kayla Hoke and Michelle Mease.
Juniata put four girls on the first team. Lauren Baublitz, Janelle Swartz, Megan Shoop and Joelle Winey were honored.
Goodling, who led the the Tigers to a 16-5-1 mark this season, knows it was her squad that earned her the honor of Coach of the Year.
"It's always an honor to receive it," she said. "I always go back to the team. We had a team this season that bonded and worked hard all season. You have to give credit to them."
Leading the way on the field for the Tigers was Hoke. The senior led East Juniata, and the TVL, with 20 goals and five assists. Her 45 points were tops in the TVL.
"Being a senior, she stepped up just like several of the others," Goodling said. "She took on a good leadership role. She works hard and likes to score goals."
Also on the first team for East Juniata was Mease. She played most of the season as a defender and limited opponents to very few shots in the TVL. Goodling said she could have been MVP of the league.
"I can't say enough about Michelle," Goodling said. "She works relentlessly all game. Her heading ability and her desire for the ball."
Juniata's four players voted to the first team made some noise this season. The Indians once again made a run in District 6.
Baublitz was hurt late in the year, and that could have thwarted Juniata's chances a little bit. But she stayed the course and was the mainstay in the Indians' offensive zone.
As Juniata's only senior, Baublitz had 12 goals and a pair of assists in TVL play. She was a 4-year starter.
"She was our target player up front," Juniata coach Brian Strawser said. "We looked to her to get things started for us and she worked hard all season."
Controlling the midfield for the Indians all season was sophomore midfielder Swartz. In nearly every game, she was one of the fastest players on the field. And although her stats were near the top of the board in the TVL, Swartz was a pest both offensively and defensively.
Swartz was third in the league with nine assists.
"We moved her to midfield early on and she was someone that will fit any where she plays," Strawser said. "She was a big part of getting the ball to our attacking third."
Juniata got some serious play out of Joelle Winey for the second straight season. Leading the the league in saves, Winey helped the Indians' bend but don't break style of defense.
The junior had 83 saves and only allowed seven goals in 2012. Her save percentage of 92.2 topped the TVL.
"There were so many games where she came up so big for us," Strawser said. "We had to replace some people defensively so we had to rely on her. She certainly came up to meet the task."
Shoop was named to the first team as a back. She and Winey were the only returning starters for Juniata defensively.
"She changed positions a little bit this year," Strawser said. "She had to be a leader and work with the younger players and keep their confidence up and did a great job for us."
In second team standings, East Juniata's McKayla Goodling took second team striker. One of the highlights of Goodling's season was when she scored the game-winning goal against Millville on Oct. 30 to clinch a berth in the PIAA tournament for East Juniata. She was second in the league in points (41) and goals (16) both behind Hoke. She was also second in assists with nine.
"She was quick and fast for us on the outside and created so many good opportunities with crosses," Lori Goodling said. "She had the desire to want to put the ball in there."
Also earning second team honors for East Juniata were Ashlyn Erhard, Lauren Maguire, Autumn Dressler, Brooke Kitting and keeper Zetta Zettlemoyer.
The two backers were Dressler and Kitting. It was Kitting's first year as a defender.
"Autumn (Dressler) is another Michelle. She's one of the hardest working players on the team," Goodling said. This was Brooke (Kitting's) first year back there. Her speed was fantastic all year."
Erhard, another senior for the Tigers, stepped into a dual role for the Tigers this season.
"She was also a very good leader," Goodling said. "She stepped up and we didn't take her off the field much.
"Lauren is just another really great leader."
Although Zettlemoyer didn't see a whole lot of action in the net, Goodling said she made some key saves for the Tigers.
"She was very improved," Goodling said. "She never played goal and embraced it. In some games she made some really big saves."
Juniata had two players named to the second team. Carly Burns as a midfielder and Rylee Duck as a back.
"She played a defensive midfielder for us," Strawser said of Burns. "She was someone we could rely on. She's very confident in her play and gave 100 percent."
For Duck, it was her first time playing in the back. But she didn't disappoint.
"She never played back there before," Strawser said. "We put her back there in the summer and I developed complete confidence in here. She is a very smart player."

Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry scored victories east and west Saturday, swamping his rivals in Nevada and the District of Columbia caucuses to build his advantage in delegates needed for the nomination. His opponents pinned their hopes on the coming Wisconsin primary to try to slow him down.
Kerry, the only candidate to campaign in Nevada, easily outdistanced Howard Dean in second place, for a Valentine's Day win that unexpectedly drew thousands to party meetings.
Kerry more than doubled his nearest opponent, Al Sharpton, in the D.C. race.
The rout kept Kerry's head of steam going as the candidates battled for the Wisconsin primary Tuesday. The Democrats converged in Milwaukee for a Saturday night party fund-raising dinner and a debate today.
That primary might be a last stand for Dean, the one-time presumptive favorite winless in the string of 2004 contests. Edwards, who won in his native South Carolina, spoke of his determination to press on into March.
"I'm completely committed to this race," Edwards said after speaking to supporters in a Madison, Wis., ballroom.
With almost all precincts reporting in Nevada, Kerry had about 63 percent of the vote, with Dean at 17 percent, Edwards at 10 percent and Dennis Kucinich at 7 percent.
Across the country, the full results in the D.C. caucuses showed Kerry with 47 percent; Sharpton, 20 percent; Dean, 17 percent; Edwards, 10 percent; and Kucinich, 3 percent.

text: I read the Sun-Gazette each day. I have not seen coverage in our local paper of the FBI investigation of the Federal Emergency Management Agency presently ongoing, so I wanted to make sure everyone is aware of this investigation. Through an investigative report recently undertaken by NBC news, it was discovered that there is over 500 instances where FEMA has remapped waterfront properties from a high risk flood zone to lower risk flood zones, thereby saving those property owners 97 percent on their flood insurance premiums. In a majority of those instances, the property owners were wealthy condo owners, multi-million dollar beachfront mansion owners, etc.; in other words those who have the resources, money, and could hire the "best companies", and I use that term loosely, to file and lobby on their behalves to change their flood zones. Want an example of this? How about a condo called the Island Towers in Alabama's Gulf Shores. This luxury condo building stands in the area where Holiday Inn and Mcdonalds were destroyed during hurricane Ivan. The condo association had previously been paying $143,190.00 yearly into the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

Many of you probably saw my colleague Anwar Richardson's post this morning, where an early mock draft had the Detroit Lions selecting Texas A&M defensive end Damontre Moore.
Here are a few more recent takes from national draft analysts, all of which have the Lions addressing the defense.
Russ Lande, National Football Post
Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas,: Louis Delmas is starting to get the "injury prone" label and the Lions do not have a top level safety to play next to him. While some may view Vaccaro as a reach, we believe he would be an immediate starter for the Lions and would upgrade their pass defense.
Barkevious Mingo, Linebacker, LSU: For all the defensive talent on the roster in Detroit, the unit still doesn't get the job done. Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley both had big 2012 seasons, but there's room for another skilled pass rusher. At 6-4, 245 pounds, Mingo -- the owner of the best name in college football -- can play either the defensive end spot or at outside linebacker. A talented kid who has played in several big games, he could make an immediate impact in Detroit.
Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame: The Lions have been very streaky on defense and need to add some leadership on that side of the ball. Te'o would not only bring his talented skill-set to Detroit, but he would also bring a positive influence to a squad with more than a few questionable characters.
Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State: Speed rusher Cliff Avril led the Lions with 9.5 sacks this year but that may not be enough to keep him in Detroit after he once again heads into free agency. A year ago Detroit franchised him after he reportedly turned down a three-year deal. The Lions could do the same this year but would still have depth concerns with backup Lawrence Jackson also entering free agency and 34-year old Kyle Vanden Bosch coming off the least productive season of his career. The 6-4, 255-pound Werner led the ACC with 13 sacks and finished second in the conference with 18 tackles for loss.

"I thought we signed a number of players that would have significant roles as freshmen for us," the head man said. "With injuries, that (role of freshmen) has become even more significant, especially with the receivers.
"There are a lot of (first-year) guys in there but that's good. It's good for the competition, and it shows these guys have worked really hard."
Just as Kiffin was not surprised by the number of rookies in key roles, he was not surprised that the No. 1 offense drove to a quick touchdown on its first possession of the scrimmage.
"I'd love to say it felt great but I understand it wasn't a live (full-scale) day and the defense wasn't throwing a ton of stuff at 'em," Kiffin noted. "So, I would've expected they'd score on every series with the setup today."
Two key Vols - first-team guard Vladimir Richard and second-team tight end Jeff Cottam - missed the workout due to minor injuries. Both will be back at practice on Monday, Kiffin said.
What follows are the scrimmage highlights:
Coming off the goal line, No. 1 tailback Montario Hardesty was dumped for a one-yard loss and a safety by the No. 1 defense.
Chad Cunningham boomed a 55-yard punt from his 1-yard line.
Safety Eric Berry intercepted an overthrow by scout-squad quarterback Nick Lamaison and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown.
No. 1 quarterback Jonathan Crompton hit No. 1 tight end Luke Stocker with a 21-yard touchdown strike to cap the first-team offense's first possession of the day.
Defensive end Gerald Williams ran down walk-on Matt Fromke from behind and sacked him for a six-yard loss.
Daniel Lincoln nailed a 47-yard field goal.
Cunningham booted a high kickoff to the 5-yard line, pinning a walk-on return man against the West sideline so effectively that he was swarmed under after a mere 14-yard return.
Freshman cornerback Eric Gordon stormed into the backfield to dump a scout-squad tailback for a two-yard loss.
Cunningham, the No. 2 place-kicker, missed a 41-yard field goal try.
Freshman David Oku showed great acceleration in returning a Lincoln kickoff 35 yards to the 40-yard line.
Tight end Luke Stocker dropped a pass from Crompton.
Crompton hit freshman Marsalis Teague for 20 yards on a deep slant.
Lincoln nailed a 29-yard field goal.
Rod Wilks, switched from safety to wide receiver earlier this week, made a nice adjustment and catch on a 10-yard pass from Lamaison.
Running for his life against a ferocious pass rush from the No. 1 defense, Lamaison made a nice scrambling throw to a scout-squad receiver for a 12-yard gain.
Gordon made a nifty end-zone interception of a Lamaison pass intended for Wilks.
Freshman Nu'keese Richardson muffed a nice punt by No. 2 punter David Harrington.
Defensive end Chris Donald, dropping into coverage, batted and nearly intercepted a Crompton pass.
Defensive tackle Chase Nelson batted down Crompton's next pass.
Freshman cornerback Nyshier Oliver got a little too animated after the scout-squad defense forced the No. 1 offense into a three-and-out, incurring a 15-yard penalty for taunting.
Lincoln hit a 37-yard field goal.
Cunningham boomed a kickoff that carried five yards deep into the end zone. The scout-squad return man who tried to advance the kick was dumped at the 11-yard line by Tyler Wolf.
Lincoln kicked off to the 7-yard line, and Oku returned it 20 yards.
Crompton found freshman Zach Rogers for a 20-yard gain.
Cunningham kicked off to the 10-yard line but the ball bounded into the end zone when the two scout-squad deep men couldn't decide which should field the ball.
Cornerback Art Evans picked off a pass by walk-on QB Mike Fromke and returned it 20 yards for a touchdown.
Crompton connected with Nu'keese Richardson on a 20-yard touchdown strike.
Defensive tackle Andre Mathis sacked Lamaison for a 10-yard loss.
Marsalis Teague made a nifty catch of a ball thrown slightly behind him by Crompton.
Freshman defensive tackle Marlon Walls batted and nearly intercepted a Crompton pass.
Crompton hit Teague with a quick hitch for a gain of 20 yards.
Teague dropped a perfectly thrown 40-yard pass from Crompton at the North end zone's goal line.
Lincoln missed a 46-yard field goal.
Freshman tailback David Oku rambled 45 yards against scout-squad defenders.
Brandon Warren went to his knees to spear a 14-yard pass from Crompton at the 6-yard line. Crompton then hit Warren with a 6-yard quick hitch for the touchdown.
Backed up at his own 2-yard line, Crompton came off the goal line with a 20-yard strike to Warren, then hit Stocker for 34 yards on the very next play.
Freshman linebacker Robert Nelson sacked Crompton for a loss of 7.
Defensive tackle Chase Nelson tipped a Crompton pass.
Crompton scrambled 12 yards for a touchdown against scout-squad defenders.
Linebacker Savion Frazier sacked Lamaison for a five-yard loss and a safety.
Cunningham boomed the ensuing free kick from his 20-yard line to the opposing 16 - a distance of 64 yards - with superior hang time.
Safety Derrick Furlow picked off a Lamaison pass and returned it 25 yards for a touchdown.
Cornerback Brent Vinson made a nice move to break up a sideline pass from Lamaison.
Chris Donald raced into the backfield to bat down a Lamaison pass shortly after he launched it.
Rolling to his right, No. 2 quarterback Nick Stephens hit walk-on tight end Ben Lehning for a gain of 15 yards.
Oku bounced outside for a gain of 15 yards.
Stephens found Nu'keese Richardson on a go route for a 41-yard gain.
Stephens hit Zach Rogers with a four-yard touchdown pass.

Getting to know you… #3
A stranger in a fedora and an olive green pinstripe suit. Uninvited. The cut of the suit is peculiar. Retro. Ill-fitting.
He pushes a roll of microfiche across the table towards me. He whispers something I can't quite make out and then the world collapses, the tables and chairs melting together as the glittering guests at the party reveal themselves to be monstrous things made out of shadows and plastic who rend the man in the fedora apart, leaving only shreds of paper that whirl and dance beneath the chandeliers.
And I know it's all up to me now.

What Will Google Fiber Mean for Kansas City? Part 1
I've been asked this question with more frequency lately as Google Fiber begins to become more of a reality for folks here in Kansas City, KS and KCMO. Of course the answers are way more far reaching and deep than I can speak on, but that's never stopped me before.
I'll break this blog post up into 4 parts.
Part 1: Big Picture of Google Fiber
Part 2: KC Agencies and Google Fiber
Part 3: SMCKC and Google Fiber
Part 4: Just the nerd in me
My goal is to get some conversation started. "With great power, comes great responsibility." Yes it's a quote from Spiderman and yes that makes me a giant nerd, but it's fundamental truth that KC better get the hang of quickly because we we're being given keys to dad's porsche and we gotta make the most of it.
Google stated from the very beginning that, "they were building the sandbox and filling it with sand, but it was up to us to bring in the Tonka trucks and build the sand castles." I love that quote by the way, but it simply states that they aren't providing us the answers or the opportunities that Google Fiber will create. Tha'ts up to us, and so far I haven't been impressed with the amount of people stepping up to the plate.
Big Picture:
This is where I attempt to jump 10,000 feet up in the air for a minute and take a snapshot of the big picture.
national gigabit interent speed infrastructure will be crucial for the US to hold onto it's stake as the world's technology leader. Data is king and there is a whole lot of it. In order to take advantage of it, we need to build bigger pipes for it to flow through and that MUST go all the way to the home. It's all about the access.
It's a BIG win for small cities everywhere, not just Kansas City. Just like small companies are able to act more nimble and adapt more quickly to change, it seems the same can be said for cities. The implementation of gigabit speeds will come from small cities the size of KC first as larger cities have WAY more red tape to deal with as well as larger relationships with the telecommunication companies that may have interest in slowing Google's process.
I'm excited in opportunities that will be brought to our school systems and the next generation of Kansas City. Gigiabit speeds will completely transform the way children and adults will be educated. With schools already beginning to take cursive writing from the curricullum, we need to come to grips and grab hold of these changes and techologies and stop wasting time trying to hold onto the past. Education systems that can adapt will reap the rewards and those that cannot won't survive.
The ability for a single mom to get a creditited MBA in her home is possible now,but with gigabit access to the home that degree may just come from Harvard School of Business.
I think companies like SKC that deal in video teleconferencing are going to be really happy for the next few years. Gigabit speeds mean a major jump in the experiences that will be possible with communicating across the country and the world. So as more data is able to get through, say goodbye to crappy conference calls and choppy video that doesn't sync up to the action. The closer this communication gets to the real thing, the more companies will let proximity decide partnerships and that is great for the midwest.
Companies like Cerner that deal in medical data or school's like KU Med have had to be jumping up and down right after Google made their announcement.
Think about the ability to push a video or high res x-rays instantly across the world to a specialist in India or even test results across the city to your general practioner. Though these things are possible now, the speed and infrastructure needed isn't.
Hospitals have changed VERY slowly to new technoligies when it comes to communication and data organization. it's a hefty task, and there is still a long way to go, but wider pipes of data will help. With the processing power taking place elsewhere, there will also be a decrease in cost of the technology needed to run on this grid.
Google Fiber is a BIG topic and I've just skimmed the surface, but in my next entry I'll talk about how I feel Google Fiber will effect the marketing agencies here in KC.
