Patent battles between Apple and Samsung are taking place on several arenas throughout the world, and a Dutch court in the city of The Hague is exactly one of them. Those who keep a close eye on things...

Never said they couldnt use icons but the design of the icons and the way it is laid out with the 4 on the bottom is very simmilar.
52. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Similar? Yes. So what? Apple doesn't own a patent on that! There are many many many products which are similar in the industry. I don't hear some TV manufacturer suing all others, because they use similar designs. And TV's ARE more similar than smartphones can ever be, design wise.
If Samsung had used something like this:
I would understand. But seriously? What, one is not allowed to have a smartphone with a square icon grid 4x5 on which the buttom row stays fixed, and the top 4x4 grid is divided by pages?
Apple doesn't own a patent on that - and as I said - if it did - it would have been ridiculous.

Fayez....the fact is that only the lockscreen and gallery app needs to be changed...and samsung electronics's official twitter account just tweeted that they'll continue selling the phones with the firmware update included...they still have 2 months to update the firmware :)...and as for US launch, its unaffected....the court hearing is on october and samsung has a healthy 3-4 months to provide them updates, if they loose at all in US

I think we should all be glad the Apple is only in the consumer electronics business. Imagine if it were in the food, drink, clothing, and broadcasting business... the horror.
Oh, wait - someone has already thought of that - and written a book on it. It's called "1984", and that person is known as George Orwell.
Apple = evil. No other way around it, folks. I am not even going to do my usual arguing with the iSheep idiots taco and Miz here.
I hope that Samsung wins - this, and the tablet case - and sends Apple deep down to bankruptcy. They deserve nothing less.
At least Microsoft didn't try to ban Firefox and Chrome when they emerged, and the majority of people used IE6. Afaik.

ironically back in 1984 they released an ad on the Superbowl for the Mac which mocked PC as being like Big Brother in 1984, now in 2011 the roles have reversed.

To believe iliaa1986 that Apple has turned out to be worse than Micro$oft is just sad sad sad.
23. ilia1986 (unregistered)
You ever recall MS trying to ban OSX sales? Ever? Or Linux distribution? Or you know - claiming that Symbian or iOS looks a lot like Windows Mobile?

Yep, and when they asked SJ to join them he declined. Once I told my kids that, it was enough for them to be anti-i as well.

samsung should remove their middle home button design,it is ugly and copy iphone middle button style. just give us standart 4 capacitive button like moto,LG and HTC and nobody will say SGS II copying iphone design anymore. i hope apple dont win the competition using patent battle, it so coward.
keep up the good work samsung, i hope you will make your own signature design and i believe it will be great too

this too saved samsung :)
145. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
You're on a roll jura21..lol
The LG Prada and a phone called the Neonode saved them too. Probably Samsung's own digital photo frame too.
Basically.....all stuff BEFORE the iPhone and iPad. lol
But Samsung is the copycat...right.

the above update does in fact show that this ban has been over thrown but even the most blind isheep should now see how Greedy,jealous and a sore loser Apple really is.
The worst thing is Apple will be so frustrated and losing and falling behind that the mental ambush on isheep will be increased and they will end being conned into,i mean spending more money on apple so called upgraded products.
Its good to see Apple has become a daily laughing stock across the world though!
An APPLE can be rotten and have worms inside.......isheep will still eat it anyways!
45. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
I think the outcome was fair. After all that, the only thing infringed upon was the scrolling and to be perfectly honest, the first time I saw the TouchWiz app draw I thought "Ugh! That looks too much like iOS". And the fact that Samsung took Android's borderless icons and added those stupid squares behind them seemed to be a deliberate attempt to make it look like an iPhone. But this should be a very simple process to change, even for Samsung (We all know they haven't had the greatest history of updating their devices.) Either way, I will be getting the GS2 and my first download will be Launcher Pro. And no other oem uses that scrolling style, so this ruling won't have much weight in the US.
50. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Great post i agree with you. Illea you listening.
57. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Oi, I'm listening. And I do admit that the S1 app drawer looks a lot like iOS. Still, a Philips TV looks a lot like a Gruindig TV. No reason to demand the ban of either one here..
59. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Ii jusy want a fine no ban.
65. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Really? Not the last time I heard. And besides nobody @ the TV business is doing that either. Or the toilet paper industry. Or the elevator industry. Or the hotdog industry.
Imagine if McDonalds sued other manufacturers for including ROUND hamburgers in their products.. or for using elongated chips.. or for including ketchup in their products!
86. corps1089 (Posts: 492; Member since: 20 Jan 2010)
in the US, there is supposed to be a test before a patent is to be awarded: the patent cannot be for an improvement/idea that would be reasonably obvious to an individual familiar with the industry.
For example: in the toilet paper industry, you would not be awarded a patent for the idea to make toilet paper softer: it is obvious that softer would be an improvement. You could be awarded a patent for incorporating nanotechnology into toilet paper so that nanobots scrub your a$$ clean: not so obvious.
A patent for scrolling on a touch display is BS: its obvious as an interface. Now we are left arguing 2 legitimate legal and moral sides of this verdict, when the patent should not have been awarded in the first place.
The US patent system is not broken, but a lot more diligence needs to be performed prior to awards.
THe EU patent system on drawings seems crazy to me, but I am just now becoming familiar with it...
63. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
Without a doubt. Asking to ban all things Samsung (Let's be real, they really wanna ban all things Android) was a bit much. All it does it create a hatred for Apple. At least it does for me.

good post good to see someone being reasonable about Samsung's copying. They did do this to themselves because they were definitely trying to mimic the look and feel of the iPhone.
147. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
ya acept this has nothing to do with look and feel but with a line of similar code. obivously like everything else, you have no idea about coding either.. lol.
49. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Lol a useless win for apple...wers all the fanboys that were saying this was a sure win for apple..wonder who they going to cry to now.
94. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
I don't understand this post. Apple won.
123. LionStone (Posts: 743; Member since: 10 Dec 2010)
Really? What do you think they won? All that they are winning at is losing respect from more and more iusers, which is why more and more people are dumping that little idevice :-)
130. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
The title of the article is below. Are you having a hard time reading? They won the case because the court agreed that Samsung is copying Apple.
Of course fandroids spin this into somehow being a win for Samsung and supposedly there is no copying happening. How is it that Apple keeps winning these cases then?
"Apple wins case against Samsung in the Netherlands; Galaxy S, SII and Ace will be sold there no more"
143. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
yes they ''won'' but considering that what the patent infingement that they win can easily be changed by samsung which would allow the galaxy devices to still be sold so they have not really gained anything from this..also what this article fails to say is that apple failed with the look and feel of the device which apple were really gunning for..so the fact that samsung can get around this, how is this a significant win for apple
148. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
THIS report is sensationalism brought apon by an initial read of what was going on at the court. Every other site that actually updated the story as it went along changed the story tremendously. This article on PA is so wrong its not funny. If you havent noticed, most of us have read other sources today and actually read what went on, not basing our iOpinions on this dated PA article.
Apple didnt win... well not in the way that u keep trying to think they won. And its not really a win, its a gotcha that samsung has plenty of time to fix. Its a simple change to a line of code.
And the judge said once its fixed apple can never bring up that patent again in that country.
193. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Some will always be a blind fanboy sadly and regardless of what anyone says, it will just cone out the other ear.
139. ztedac (Posts: 69; Member since: 17 May 2010)
i think you need to throw out your iphone/ipad
parts of it is made by the company you hate the most: Samsung
140. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Maybe its the fact that Samsung was getting sued for icons and hardware too, remember?
The LG Prada came up in court...out went the hardware part. Icons...the judge probably just laughed.
All they got called out on was 3 patents that looks to be only 1 now. And that can be fixed with an update. This was a waste of time.
62. GALAXY-S (Posts: 701; Member since: 07 Jun 2011)
Maybe its a good thing that this is happening to samsung, Samsung will just have to step up there game and come up with a better UI and leave that crappy ass ios looking TW, i really love samsungs hardware and screens it has much more potential than iphone, so come on samsung get on with it!! bring then to the U.S too!!!!
64. lls (unregistered)
I agree that the first icrap had a lot of affect on mobile industry but in my opinion if there weren't any other smartphones except iphones, then the iPhones wouldn't also make so much improvement generation by generation. My point is that its competition that makes progress, so apple fanboys also shouldn't be so happy of this kind of sueings going on and on
67. jacko (unregistered)
im holding my sgs ll in front of me now and im sure that judge was blind or steve headjob gave him money and a blowjob on the side and i got a ipod touch and wtf they look nothing alike and gallery app wtf thats stock android
at the end of the day apple is pissed scared of samsung coz there bringing something new out all the time apple is like s**t we better put a stop to sales coz we'll have to copy notifications pull down anyone and put more things in our next iphone in stand if putting 1 or 2 things every year so isheep can buy the next 1 every year and not also the sales the sgs ll is getting
i stand im my point that apple is s**t scared

A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state (national government) to an inventor or their assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for the public disclosure of an invention.
The procedure for granting patents, the requirements placed on the patentee, and the extent of the exclusive rights vary widely between countries according to national laws and international agreements. Typically, however, a patent application must include one or more claims defining the invention which must be new, non-obvious, and useful or industrially applicable
ps.. and no Mc Donalds cannot sued becuase other people used round meat...
70. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
I hope this would teach Samsung and the other copycats a lesson. Even before the iphone, Samsung was already known for being a copycat to whatever is the hottest device in the market. They have copied designs from a lot of Nokia devices in the past, like the N95, and also some Blackberry phones, etc. Now, they're copying iDevices. Difference is, unlike Nokia, Apple does not tolerate copycats.
This will be good for Samsung. If they learn from this, this would push them to grow and be more creative and innovative with their hardware and UI designs. They definitely already have the technology. They just need to come up with their own hardware and UI ideas.
77. PeterIfromsweden (Posts: 1230; Member since: 03 Aug 2011)
youre so wrong.
The only phone from samsung that has looked like a copy is the galaxy ace.
Samsung had a phone before the iphone that looked like a iphone...

Apple only won because of the gallery app which Samsung is changing. Most of the design patient were rule invalid along with the other two patient.

i dont think ibots can read. they are all repeating the same wrong crap and not one of them has actually read the real article other than the incorrect sensationalism on PA.
156. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
Didn't you read the title? It said Apple won the case. Regardless whether Apple won on all complaints, they were able to have Samsung devices banned, or at least suspended from sale.
162. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
so.. the title is the whole story? the title is ment to grab your attention. the title ISNT factual.
Apple won on 1 of like 10 complaints. if you score 1 out of 10 tries in a game, your the loser most likely.
167. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
And that 1 wasnt even a major score...lol. Hardware woulda been MAJOR.
I can guarantee Samsung has big smiles on their faces. Especially since what they got sued for was actually in Android, not Touchwiz...if I'm reading the updated news correctly.
So Apple needs to just try to sue Google for Android. I would LOVE to see that one.

Apple is just scared of what business they will lose. People have the freedom of choice to either product. Seriously if apple has their way now the whole world will end up using only apple products.
80. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
It's not about Apple being scared. It's about protecting their investments. Apple banks a lot on their software and hardware designs. That's their bread and butter. Apple is also very religious in keeping their traditions and plans in releasing their products in accordance to their timeline. They are ahead of the game. But, there are other tech companies who are capable of matching their hardware technology, or even surpass it (like Samsung). That only leaves Apple with their innovative designs and robust software. If the others copy their product designs and UI (which sets them apart from the rest), it will disrupt Apple's masterplan and tradition of their product releases. Apple products would lose its uniqueness and premium status, and there would be no more reason why consumers would pay premium when there are other identical devices with better specs.
128. LionStone (Posts: 743; Member since: 10 Dec 2010)
Sorry buddy, apple has already lost their uniqueness and premium status and there already is no reason why consumers should pay premium when there are other devices with better specs that do more and cost less or equal to. Apple is smart enough to know this, therefore trying to stifle the competition. Everyone can see this, so quit trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
157. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
The iphone and the ipad are still the bestselling devices. And yes, the only reason why the others are catching up is because they try so hard to imitate the iDevices. So don't talk as if iDevices no longer sell.

Singing sensation Susan Boyle went from being a British reality TV show contestant to a world-renowned recording artist.
The 49-year-old Briton is getting ready to achieve yet another dream. Next month, Boyle will perform for Pope Benedict XVI at an open air mass during his visit to Britain. Boyle will sing several Gospel hymns and will be accompanied by an 800-member choir.
She became the world's sweetheart last year when she sang her rendition of the song "I Dreamed a Dream" on a British TV musical competition and stunned the judges, the studio audience and people around the world with her amazing vocals.
A devout Catholic, Boyle says singing for the pope will be another dream that has come true.
"It's something I've always wanted to do for a while," she explained. "It's been one of my biggest dreams. I'm very happy it's come true at last."
Boyle's debut CD was the biggest selling album in the world last year.
Internet videos of her performances have been viewed more than 100 million times by fans all over the world.

Gov. Bobby Jindal ended 2011 as the clear leader in Louisiana fundraising, with nearly $4 million in the bank even after spending more than $1 million in the two months after his election, according to campaign finance reports released Wednesday. With a war chest about $1.3 million larger than all other state elected officials combined, the $156,000 Jindal's campaign spent last year on his inauguration ceremony was practically a drop in the bucket.
Jindal and all other candidates were required to file campaign finance reports covering the last months of the year with the state Board of Ethics. The reports showed Jindal presiding over a fundraising juggernaut that dwarfed the competition, though his end-of-the-year total was about $5 million less than last year, when he was ramping up a re-election campaign. Once again his nearest competitor was state Treasurer John Kennedy, with Attorney General Buddy Caldwell finishing a distant third.
Asked what the governor, who is barred by law from seeking a third consecutive term, planned to do with his bankroll, Jindal political consultant Tim Teepell noted that the governor could make another try for the office after sitting out four years.
"He's a young guy, I can't imagine he's run in his last campaign for governor," Teepell said.
The governor's end-of-the-year expenditures included $274,000 for campaign staffers, $100,000 for political consultants, $45,000 for polling and $40,000 for fundraising consultants, all tied to his re-election campaign.
The report also includes about $156,000 in inaugural expenses, which amounts to about half the cost of the inauguration ceremonies, Teepell said. The rest of those costs will show up in a special filing that will be made next month.
The inaugural expenses included $70,000 to Robert Berning Productions of Metairie for design, construction and other costs; $4,200 for banners; a $15,000 deposit for the inaugural ball; and $7,600 to the Lyceum in Baton Rouge for a luncheon.
Kennedy, who ended the year with $1.9 million in the bank, was unopposed in his re-election race this year. He has run for the U.S. Senate twice in the past decade.
Caldwell's $461,000 balance at the end of the year was still three times the size of the next most well-financed candidate.
After the bitter battle over the lieutenant governor's seat, victor Jay Dardenne ended the year with $74,000 in the bank, and his opponent, Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser, finished with about $17,000.
Secretary of State Tom Schedler reported about $16,000 in the bank, Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry Mike Strain ended the year with about $82,500, and Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon wound up with $62,000.
Former state Rep. Walker Hines, R-New Orleans, ended the year with about $144,000 on hand after his brief run against Schedler. Hines dropped out of the race in August, shortly after then-House Speaker Jim Tucker, R-Algiers, threw his hat in the ring.
After paying back about $250,000 in loans, Tucker was left with about $6,260 in his campaign accounts at the end of the year.
While Senate President John Alario, R-Westwego, finished the year with an empty bank account, House Speaker Chuck Kleckley, R-Lake Charles, wrapped up 2011 with $140,000 in the bank. Alario's political action committee, however, had $64,000 to spare at the end of the year.

Puma has ended its relationship with Aaron Hernandez "in light of the current situation," spokesperson Katie Gregory told MassLive.com.
Hernandez was charged Wednesday with the murder of Odin Lloyd. CytoSport has also dropped Hernandez from an endorsement contract.
The tight end was released by the Patriots Wednesday.
Hernandez signed a two-year contract with the shoe company in April. At the time, Puma said one of the things that made Hernandez attractive was his "ability to overcome adversity."
"It isn't every day that we welcome such a young talent to our team and we couldn't be more excited to be working with Aaron Hernandez," Jay Piccola, president of Puma North America, said in statement released in April. "His talent, athleticism and ability to overcome adversity have made him a rising star, and all this matched with his personality and intense training regimen is what makes Aaron a key part of the Puma family."

I've never bought a bottle of Cod liver oil before. I like seafood so I wanted the unadulterated version. This stuff RULES!! I was shocked how thin and light it is. Roughly the consistency of heated coconut oil. I gladly down a tablespoon of this, put it on rice, my dog loves this stuff almost as much as she loves freeze dried liver. She's banana's for it. This single handedly cured my winter skin. Dried thighs, ankles, forearms, triceps, hands, face. Well, I bought some NOW alvocado oil which I recommend you couple with this (for hands and face). It was night and day difference in a matter of 2 weeks. True story about my Great Uncle. He passed away of natural causes at 107 years old. Worked at a local newspaper company in Waltham MA until he was 90. Drove a car until he was 93. Surfed the internet to keep abreast of local news from his hometown of Moncton in Canada and could email friends basically until he passed on. He was happy, witty and very healthy all the way to 106 when he started to break down. The things he said kept him so healthy and happy was staying connected with people, keeping mentally stimulated and most importantly COD LIVER OIL every day since he was 10.
they love it -- fishy taste and all -- please don't discontinue, they won't eat any fish oil with flavoring
Tastes horrible but great stuff
Posted by Reviewer3237759 on Sep 09, 2014
Yuk! We were using the lemon flavour but my son asked me to buy the plain one as he doesn't like lemon. I can barely stand to take this as it tastes so bad (tho not nearly as bad as the green pastures fermented CLO!). My kids (5 & 7) hate the taste and will only take it if i give them a treat afterwards. Will go back to the lemon when we have finished this giant bottle!

MEPIS 11.0 Alpha 3 Released to Testers on MEPIS Anniversary
It was 8 years ago today that the MEPIS Linux project started when Warren Woodford decided to build a version of Linux that would be easy to try from CD, easy to install from the live environment, and easy for everyone to use. Over the years there have been reports of SimplyMEPIS being the first OS of one year old children, and also the first OS of 90 year old adults.
Today the third alpha-test release of SimplyMEPIS 11.0 is available in the form of SimplyMEPIS-CD_10.9.80_32.iso and SimplyMEPIS-CD_10.9.80_64.iso files. This test release is for use by the MEPIS Tester Community. As usual, MEPIS alpha-test releases are not expected to be backward or forward compatible with MEPIS final product releases.
11.0 Alpha 3 contains changes that are hoped to fix CD boot problems that have been identified by the MEPIS Testers–or at least to provide a better test environment for identifying any remaining boot problems. It also addresses some library dependency issues that were present in Alpha 1 and 2.

Starting Bid - $1,000.00, Sold For - $4,406.25
Limited-edition hand-enhanced giclee on canvas, titled "The Masters, Miracle Shot," signed by both Tiger Woods and the artist Stephen Holland in gold paint pen. Produced in 2005.

The offered giclee is a rare printer's proof that was limited to an edition of only fifteen. It is numbered "PP 11/15" directly below the artist's signature. This is easily one of the most impressive Tiger Woods signed pieces ever produced and one that is well suited for either home or office display. Framed to total dimensions of 33 x 49 inches.

Lunas meet Bears tonight, stadium should be rocking
September 13, 2013 - Robert Collias
For the last dozen years, Baldwin and Lahainaluna have ruled MIL football.
The first meeting of the season between the top two teams arrives tonight when the Lunas and Bears meet at War Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7, but a long JV game could push that to 7:30 or so.
It is a classic matchup of the Lunas' surrender-nothing defense and the Bears' high-octane offense.
A few facts, in no particular order, that got trimmed from my story in this morning's paper for space reasons:
As freshmen and sophomores two seasons ago, the leaders on this Lahainaluna team endured 40-0 and 41-0 losses to Baldwin.
Last year, the Lunas extracted redemption with a 32-0 victory over the Bears in September. When Bears all-star quarterback Keelan Ewaliko returned from an injury, however, it was Baldwin that pulled out a thrilling 20-17 overtime victory. Ewaliko is now redshirting as a freshman for the University of Hawaii.
If the Lunas have a weakness, it is their passing game — Makoa Filikitonga is 8-for-29 for 143 yards and an interception. It has been a point of emphasis this week.
"Baldwin, like everyone else, will play us for the run and force us to throw the ball, so we will find out pretty quick if we have accomplished anything in the passing game," Lunas' co-head Garret Tihada said.
Lahainaluna averages 331 yards per game on the ground, however, and had 13 different players carry the ball last week.
Besides losses to Lahainaluna in 2009 and 2012, Baldwin has lost only to King Kekaulike, in 2009, while going 67-3-1 in MIL play since mid-2004.
A few more names and numbers are here in This Week in MIL Football.
This season, the Lunas are the top-ranked team in scoringlive.com's state Division II power rankings, while Baldwin is the No. 10 team on the D-I list.
Last week, the Bears piled up 529 yards of offense in a 42-35 win over Kamehameha Maui.
Who will win? Good question.
One thing I am sure of: it will be a full house and War Memorial Stadium should be rocking tonight.

Philadelphia's city controller offered a three-word sentiment on the impending departure of the School District's financial expert: It's about time.
"Michael Masch was put at the schools for the very purpose of providing independent financial control and to make sure the School District stayed within their spending limits. He failed," Controller Alan Butkovitz said in an interview Friday.
Masch, a former budget secretary under Gov. Ed Rendell, was on watch during the district's march to financial ruin, though his responsibility for its problems remains a subject of debate. News of his exit was not formally announced, but it became public Thursday night when a parent asked a question of school officials during a budget meeting at West Philadelphia High School.

Fifteen Jackson County residents failed to show for jury duty one day recently, forcing a judge to declare a mistrial in a criminal case. It was the second time in recent months that had happened in Jackson.
You can't shirk jury duty without consequences. People who fail to respond to their summonses can be fined or even jailed. Never mind the fact that jurors' absences throw off the courts, as happened in this case.
But should people be forced to serve? One reader offered this perspective on the Jackson Citizen Patriot's Facebook page:
"If people don't want to serve why force them? I'd rather not be judged by people that don't want to be there in the first place."
What do you think? Should reluctant jurors be forced to serve? Is there a better way of seating jurors? Vote in our poll, and share your thoughts in the comments below.

DENVER (AP) - The Denver Broncos signed free-agent quarterback Steve Beuerlein to a multiyear contract Wednesday as a backup to Brian Griese.
The terms weren't disclosed by the team, and Tom Condon, Beuerlein's agent, was unavailable Wednesday.
The 36-year-old Beuerlein has played 14 seasons in the NFL. He started all 16 games for the Carolina Panthers last season, completing 324 of 533 passes for 3,730 yards, 19 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. He rushed for 106 yards on 44 carries and scored once. In 1992, Beuerlein was the backup to Troy Aikman at Dallas.
He has 44 consecutive starts, the third-longest active streak among NFL quarterbacks, behind Green Bay's Brett Favre (141) and Indianapolis' Peyton Manning (48).
Beuerlein's 4,436 yards in 1999 earned him his first career passing title, edging out Kurt Warner of St. Louis.
He will join Gus Frerotte as a backup to Griese.
Carolina acquired Beuerlein as an unrestricted free agent from the Jacksonville Jaguars in 1996. He was a four-year starter for Notre Dame, where he posted school records for pass attempts (850), completions (457), passing yards (6,527), total offense (6,459) and consecutive completions without an interception (119).

Great news: Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Marion Cotillard have all signed on to join the starry cast ensemble of Steven Soderbergh's upcoming sci-fi thriller 'Contagion'. The movie is based on a script by "The Bourne Ultimatum" and "The Informant!" writer Scott Z. Burns, and revolves around the threat posed by a deadly disease, with multiple plotlines in the style of Soderbergh's 'Traffic'. Reportedly the story takes place over four continents and is "terrifying." The plan is to shoot the project later this year, possibly fall.
Sources: Variety and Ace ShowBiz

My God, her Hollywood career is flying! It has been my dream to see Marion and Kate in a big screen together and now it's coming true!Feb 09, 10 at 9:04 am
I'm glad for Marion. Hopefully, she will have her time off though – she did say that she wants to take time out. Ah well, I guess she'll get the chance to do so when the time is right.
I'm also hoping for news about European projects, I don't want them to get ignored, as her best work has always been projects she had done in France.Feb 09, 10 at 1:39 pm
I am so excited about the thought of Kate and Marion acting alongside!Feb 09, 10 at 3:14 pm
Yes, Kate and Marion together, that's great news. Marion is a big fan of Kate. Also good to see her with people like Matt Damon and Jude Law.Feb 09, 10 at 5:59 pm
Me too Riikka 🙂 This is really an exciting project!Feb 09, 10 at 8:00 pm
OMG…. to see Kate Winslet and Marion Cotillard in the same movie!!! It's what I've dreamed of. It's also what I've been trying to write. Man, did they have to beat me to the punch!!!!???Feb 13, 10 at 5:31 am
I intended to draft you one tiny note just to thank you so much yet again considering the fantastic information you have shared here. It was quite seriously open-handed with people like you to supply easily just what most of us could possibly have sold as an e-book to help with making some dough for their own end, specifically since you might well have tried it if you desired. These things in addition acted to become easy way to recognize that other people have the identical keenness just as my own to know a good deal more with regard to this matter. I'm certain there are a lot more pleasurable sessions ahead for folks who browse through your blog post.Sep 08, 11 at 1:17 pm

It's official – the PlayStation 3 has dropped $100 less than
eight months after it's highly anticipated launch. According to the official press
release, the current 60GB will carry a $499 price tag effective today.
The $499 price point was previously occupied by the 20GB
version of the PlayStation 3. Citing reasons related to consumer demand, Sony in April
discontinued the $499 20GB PlayStation 3 leaving only the more expensive
60GB model on the market.
Word of the price cut first appeared last week when retailer
flyers appeared across the U.S. and Canada showing the Sony console with
the lower price. It was originally believed that Sony would announce the price
cut during its E3 press conference on July 11, though the company may have
decided to bump up its date after the cat found its way out of the bag.
Unknown last week, but announced today by SCEA is an
upcoming new PlayStation 3 model with an 80GB hard drive. The 80GB PlayStation
3 will occupy the $599 price point that the 60GB previously held, and will also
come packed in with a full version of racing game MotorStorm. The 80GB MotorStorm
bundle will begin shipping in August.
"As we move into the next phase of PS3, it's important that
we continue to evaluate our product line, offering consumers the technology and
features that meet their growing needs for new forms of media and the way in
which it is delivered," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO of SCEA. "The
introduction of the 80GB PS3, the new pricing for the current 60GB model, the
availability of more than 100 new software titles this fiscal year and,
finally, the expansion of services for PlayStation Network, will provide even
more options for users and will help bring new consumers into the PS3 fold."
Rumblings of a PlayStation 3 with larger hard disk drive
capacity first came in March when Sony filed with the FCC papers describing a PlayStation 3
with an 80 GB hard drive inside. Sony did not confirm nor deny the plans
for an 80 GB unit at that time, saying only, "As mentioned when we made the
product announcement for PS3, the system will have different configurations
(thus, 60GB HDD with memory card slots and Wi-Fi and 20GB HDD without memory
card slots or Wi-Fi both exist). Application to the FCC has been made with
various possibilities in mind, however, it does not lead to a new product
announcement at this time."
Then, during the second half of May, Sony announced an 80GB PlayStation 3 for
the Korean market, citing the country's high speed network infrastructure
and video-on-demand systems as a reason for the extra 20GB.
After the 80GB PlayStation 3 was revealed for Korea, SCEA
responded to questions regarding the larger drive's release in North America,
saying, "We're constantly looking at new… configurations [for PS3], but
currently there are no plans to change current hardware offerings [in North
Now that the price of the 60GB PS3 is slashed by $100, might
this be a sign of things to come for Europe and Australia? Not yet, as Karraker
says, "This news does not affect any other PS3 territory."
Only eight months after release, the price cut for the PS3
may be one of the quickest in console history. With $100 off the current top
model, Sony may be responding to the relatively sluggish sales of its consoles
when compared against its competition.
Price is a common point of contention for those who haven't
yet picked up a PlayStation 3, though many point to the current lack of
exclusive, compelling software. "Even with a $100 drop, the PS3 is still the
high-end console," Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian told GameSpot. "But price cuts typically
generate incremental demand, and I don't think this situation will be any
different. Bottom line, this may not be enough to kick-start PS3 sales into the
mass market—but it's a good first step."
quote: You are all aware that Nintendo is kicking everyone's butts? Sony is not MS's main competitor this go-round. It's the big-N outselling the X360 by more than 2-to-1 in the US and 15-to-1 in Japan.
quote: MS fanboys, step off. Your zealousness has you blinded as to how this business really works. MS needs a price drop to not only distinguish itself from Sony, but to catch up to Nintendo and try to slow the runaway Mario Express before it rolls into Santa Monica this Wednesday.
quote: Currently, they're losing the edge that a one-year headstart affords, plus software is supposed to be way easier to develop for the X360 (than the PS3), so where are the multiple triple A titles? I see GoW, Forza 2, Dirt, GRAW 1 & 2, and Oblvion. Mass Effect, Bioshock, Too Human, Blue Dragon, and VF5 are way past due. Those should have been out by now. Saints Row and Crackdown are great games, but are not system sellers. Dead Rising and Lost Planet--the same. As a fan and owner of the Sega game, Shadowrun was at best disappointing. In fact, the X360 has a pretty decent lineup of games thus far (way better than the PS3 and Wii combined), but that matters little if half as many ppl are buying your system because there's a cheaper alternative.
quote: Moreover, MS has become bogged down in customer service due to hardware defect issues (a result of early release-syndrome, perhaps). Moreover, why is MS still selling the Core version? What's the point here? There are 3 distinct configurations for the X360 that can lead to major manufacturing cost overruns. Since all three version have different casings, MS manfucturers have to build all three. Save some money, have just one stinking casing. It's called "Lean Manufacturing". Add to this, two extremely different chipsets and motherboard configurations. Are you serious? MS could save some serious green by slimming their processes and pass this on to the consumer.
quote: MS, this whole "customer-options-thing" you got going isn't that great. I'd rather have the option of not paying so much for a system destined to crash 33% of the time. One more thing, grow a pair and give us wireless-out-of-the-box and an internal HD-DVD drive with games that take advantage of the extra disc space.
quote: The Wii, PS3 and 360 are in the same category because all three were released by the major console manufacturers as their premier home video game console. Think about it: are the DS and PSP really in the same category? Not at all by your accounting. By your reasoning, the PS2 should have absolutely tanked as it was processor-wise (and everyone uses this as a basis for comparison, and I hate it and gnash my teeth when people do) the slowest of last generation. But it was the top machine because people liked playing the games. Right now, people like playing the Wii better. And with it's incredible hype, low price, dirt cheap costs for game development, and most important, PROFIT, it is very arguably the best console out there.

A teenager accused of killing a man and then shooting his mother is heading to trial.
A preliminary hearing was held Wednesday for Uriah O'Carroll.
All charges were held for court.
Police said O'Carroll shot and killed Marcus Eggleston, 20, in an alley near College and Chestnut streets in Allentown last month.
O'Carroll is also accused of shooting Eggleston's mother, Sandy Falwell, in the head when she came out to help her son.
Police said O'Carroll also fired at four other people, but they weren't hit.
They said the shooting stemmed from an earlier argument.
A formal arraignment is scheduled for October 5.

McConaughey returns to the bar in 'The Lincoln Lawyer'
Before Hollywood realized Matthew McConaughey was the world's oldest good looking frat boy, the industry mistakenly pegged him as a "serious" actor and he embarrassingly appeared out of depth in films such as "Contact," where he played a religious leader, and "A Time to Kill" and "Amistad" where he played a lawyer -- twice. After "Surfer Dude" that's pretty hard to fathom isn't it? Well, not according to Lakeshore Entertainment.
t;_self">Variety reports McConaughey will suit up as legal counsel once again in the thriller "The Lincoln Lawyer." Based on the 2005 Michael Connolly best-seller, the story finds a struggling criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller (McConaughey) who ends up representing a wealthy client who is connected to a previous murder case Haller was associated with.
No word on who will direct "Lawyer" or when Lakeshore expects to begin production.
McConaughey will return to theaters this May in the familiar and safe confines of the romantic comedy alongside Jennifer Garner in "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past."

Double the fun: Snorkeling and whale watching
March 10, 2014 - Leah Sherman
Thousands of North Pacific humpback whales come to Hawaii's waters every year (usually between November and May) to give birth and mate. And thousands more human visitors come to Hawaii's shores to see the protected animals.
So, what is the best way to see these giants?
Of course, they can easily be seen frolicking from the beach, with the spray from blowholes easy to spot from a distance and larger splashes signifying a breach. If you enter the water and dip your head below the surface, it isn't unusual to hear a whale song.
But at least once a year I like to hop on a boat and be right in the middle of the action.
There are tons of whale-watching tour options out there. In my opinion, the important points to consider when choosing one are (in no particular order):
• Price.
• How much time you have available to spend out on the water.
• Which part of the island you would prefer to depart from — most boat tours leave from Maalaea harbor and Lahaina harbor, but there are options that depart from beaches in West and South Maui.
• Likelihood of seasickness.
• How you feel about crowds.
For my most recent whale-watch outing, I went with Four Winds II's afternoon snorkel cruise.
The Four Winds II is a 55-foot catamaran (according to the website, see link at right), which offers morning and afternoon snorkel trips (which double as whale-watch tours during whale season, which the website identifies as Dec. 20 to April 20) from Maalaea harbor. While the morning cruise is scheduled to visit Molokini, the afternoon one takes snorkelers to either Molokini or Coral Gardens (a reef formation along Maui's west coast, according to the Four Winds' website), depending on conditions.
On the February afternoon I went out, we went to Molokini. Along the way, the boat traveled at a leisurely pace — slowing, veering off course and even stopping to give passengers plenty of time and opportunities to watch humpbacks.
The tour was uncrowded with maybe 40 passengers, which meant there was very little jostling for positions at the railings for the best views.
Snorkeling tips were given and equipment was handed out en route to Molokini, so people were in the water soon after the boat was moored. The Four Winds II features three entry ladders — or a slide for the more adventurous. I get a little nervous being out in the deep water, so it was nice that swim belts, life jackets and boogieboards with viewing holes were available for use. The boat has a glass bottom, giving nonswimmers a chance to see almost everything that snorkelers can see.
Once at the snorkel spot, a BBQ lunch was served buffet-style, with passengers given the choice of eating before or after snorkeling. Lunch (burgers, veggie burgers, hot dogs, chicken and potato chips) is optional on the afternoon tour but, for $7.50 per person, it is a great deal.
After giving snorkelers about an hour in the water, the boat headed back toward the harbor at a less-leisurely speed while still offering opportunities for whale watching.
The Four Winds II afternoon trip is time consuming but if you have an open afternoon it is a fun and relaxing way to spend it — whale season or not. Check-in was at 1 p.m. and we returned to Maalaea harbor at 5 p.m. (I don't recommend this trip for cruise-ship passengers who have to be in Lahaina by 5:30 p.m. There was one group on our tour that was trying to do just that. Considering traffic at that time of day, I'm going to guess they probably didn't make it.)
Currently offered at an adult price of $39 per person, the afternoon trip is much more economical than the almost-identical morning trip, which starts at $88 for adults but does include lunch. Both trips include soft drinks, juice, beer and wine, as well as snorkel gear and instruction. Among the crew members is an underwater photographer who goes out with the snorkelers and puts together a photo video for passengers to view during the return trip to the harbor. Photos are available to purchase. Snuba is also offered on the Four Winds II for an additional charge.
For people looking for shorter or less expensive whale-watch tours, I have also been out with Trilogy Excursions and Pacific Whale Foundation (see links at right). Both offer excellent trips with loads of departure options from both Maalaea and West Maui.

When it was announced that Alicia Keys nabbed the honor of performing the US national anthem at the 2013 Super Bowl, it was obvious that the committee made the wrong choice. However, North America is the land of opportunity so they gave the hoarse singer the chance to prove her worth.
Sadly, the odds and the condition of her vocal cords weren't in Keys' favour, and she struggled to handle the rearranged version of "The Star Spangled Banner". Kicking off the song on a shaky note, she awkwardly climbed to a painfully rough climax, effectively described as the ashes left behind from Keys being on fire for the last six months.
Watch Keys fumble the notes of the anthem at the Super Bowl below:
What else can be said about this performance? We all know that Keys' voice has not been in a good place for months and today she confirmed that she needs serious help (a bible, honey, lime, magic and a bush bath). Let us keep her in prayer as we hope for a better tomorrow.

Fixed PriceDelivery by February 13, 2014
I have a small service site. A fair amount of interested people appear on my site everyday. I have a sales chat installed. And you would just chat with people as they appear on the site. You could be doing other things the vast majority of the time, and it makes a noise to tell you to come deal with a site visitor.
Please bid on how much I would owe you for what amount of visitors that you talk to. You would just leave the chat window on in the background and be able to do what you normally do the vast majority of the time.
This does not require you to be working on it constantly or even most of the time. So there is no way I can pay anything like a full days wages for this. But I will give you a 5.00 commission for every person that you manage to get to use the service. Continues just as long as both of us are happy with the situation.
I would like to pay something like 0.50 for every visitor chatted with (needs to be at least a few lines exchanged to be considered to have chatted with them, not just for clicking on every visitor). Plus 5.00 commission every time someone actually goes through with using my service. But please bid what you will. I would like to come to an agreement we are both happy with. But I am on a very shoestring budget with launching my service site.

At this point, we at CSB/SJU have spent the last week picking apart not only the decision to disinvite Sammy Adams, but also other recent events such as the new city ordinances, housing selection, office mergers and tuition prices. Debates about community values, our relationship to the City of St. Joseph and the use of our money continue. Out of these conversations, we find three areas of concern we hope others continue to reflect and work on.
Community and Benedictine Values
The presidents and deans of CSB and SJU, along with the members of JEC, all mention community or Benedictine values in the reasoning to cancel '13 Pines. We support creating a positive campus environment, especially one that fights misogeny and sexism, and we recognize this as a noble goal. However, we find inconsistencies with how this is addressed. In their letter to the JEC, Fr. Doug Mullin and Mary Geller mention offensive lyrics as part of their reasoning to disinvite Adams. We question why, if offensive lyrics are such a concern, that this logic is only employed for '13 Pines. School dances and events throughout the year feature songs that have lyrics as questionable or objectionable as Adams', but there is no action on these events. While we support the intentions of Mullin and Geller, the inconsistency is extremely frustrating, and we are concerned for whatever precedent this may set.
Student activity money and transparency
Whether or not you agree with the reasoning behind canceling Adams, all can agree that a significantly large amount of money may be on the line to essentially prove a point. Continuing legal matters prevent disclosing how much money may, or will, be lost, admittedly, but it would not be surprising if at least $15,000 is on the line. If students are not clearly informed of the financial impact of this decision when the dust settles, something is terribly wrong with both JEC's and the administrations' outreach to students. No matter what, there should be more transparency in regard to such a large portion of money.
#FreeStJoe and #FreeCSBSJU
With all of the above concerns, some students are organizing to represent their interests. Students now use #FreeStJoe and #FreeCSBSJU as a rallying cry, for better or worse. We applaud the efforts of those who are responsibly and respectfully trying to create a better dialogue with city and administration officials. However, too often we see views that make it seem as though students believe it is their right to treat St. Joe as their personal playground, often drunkenly. We are not entitled to dictate how St. Joe functions as a city, but we do have a right to participate in the process. We encourage students to remember this, and to think twice before posting on social media about frustrations. –In all, it is good to see the CSB/SJU community addressing these issues. However, addressing them in a sassy, snarky or expletive-laden nature is not going to help achieve actual changes. We hope this engagement continues, and we hope it continues responsibly and respectfully.

This Explorer2 folding solar charger from Brunton sucks up sun in a hurry, turns it into electricity, and then folds up to pack away when you need to get a move on again.
What's not to like?
Well, just one little thing: no battery. You see this is not some integrated solar charger that stores up energy to release later. You have to either plug your devices in while you've got it exposed to the sun or you need to bring something else along that can store power for later—like this Callpod Fueltank I reviewed a few years ago.
Once I figured that out and started plugging my items in during the day, this thing cranked. It charged up a Samsung Windows phone, an iPod Touch, a Motorola Atrix phone, and my Innergie portable charger all in one sunny day. The next day a Kindle and a small MP3 player before the rain came in the afternoon. I didn't time all of these individually, but in general this solar charger seemed to work as quickly as a wall outlet.
The output on this is Brunton charger is listed at "1000 mAh / 5V (5 Watts)" – which is the same as their Restore portable power pack. (The only one I've tried that I've found to be powerful enough to pack.) Since this folding panel thing weighs twice as much and doesn't have a battery though, what you're paying for here is sensitivity and area. With four large independent panels you get 8X the area exposed to the sun than you do with that compact Restore unit, so you don't need as much sun or as much time. The green "charging" LED light would come on even when I walked close to a window.
Although this unit weighs nearly a pound, it folds up to about the size of a ladies' clutch bag: 4.5 x 9 x 1 inch. It feels solid and field-worthy too, with heavy double-stitched fabric, Velcro, and four large eyelets for hanging.
This solar charger is about as simple as you can get to use: the only interface is a female USB outlet. No switch to turn on or off: just plug in what you need and go. A few years ago just having USB would not seem to be enough since you'd need a gaggle of adapters. Thankfully most new electronics come with some kind of USB cord with a 110 adapter on the end instead of just a 110 plug.
It's a pity you can't charge up your laptop with this charger, but you'll have to go more heavy duty than this, spending a good bit more for an Explorer10 or 20. This will charge just about anything else though, so if you are going camping or just want to have a reliable power supply on hand in your travels to keep that smartphone going, this Brunton unit will work anywhere you've got a reasonable amount of sunlight.
If you want to save some of that energy for later, bring along a portable power charger you can juice up from here as well. If you buy the right USB charger, you could also charge up NiCad AA batteries with this for a camera or game device.
You can order the Brunton Explorer2 folding solar panel for less than $80 at Amazon.

The athletic present and future seemed sunny and bright at Texas Christian University -- until Wednesday's nuclear fallout.
TCU last fall achieved its long-sought goal to join the Big 12 Conference, and Tuesday received its 2012 conference schedule along with the rest of the league. It includes a likely Thanksgiving Day date with Texas.
Then later than night, the Frogs overcame a large deficit to upset No. 11 UNLV in basketball.
But that was lost in the rubble of Wednesday's annoucement that 17 students were arrested, including four prominent players on the high-profile football team, in a six-month drug sting.
Those arrested were accused of selling marijuana, cocaine, ecstascy and prescription drugs to undercover officers, police said. The football players arrested were linebacker Tanner Brock, leading tackler two years ago, defensive tackle D.J. Yendrey, and cornerback Devin Johnson. The other player is offensive lineman Ty Horn.
But what could be particularly troubling to the foundation of the football program are indications the reach of this drug scandal may extend beyond the four on the football team, according to media reports.
According to arrest documents for Brock, he told an undercover officer that a team-wide drug test administered by Gary Patterson on Feb. 1 wasn't a big deal because "there would be about 60 people being screwed."
And when an undercover officer asked Johnson, who was also arrested, about Patterson's test, Johnson replied, "what can they do, 82 people failed it," according to an arrest warrant.
Citing an unidentified source, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that head coach Gary Patterson ordered the massive surprise drug test on Feb. 1 after a top recruit scratched TCU from his list because of alleged widespread drug use by team members.
TCU Police Chief Steven McGee said those taken into custody Wednesday weren't routine misbehaving students.
"There are no doubt that all of those arrested today are drug dealers," McGee said. "These individuals all engaged in hand-to hand delivery of drugs for money to undercover narcotics agents."
TCU won the Rose Bowl and finished No. 2 in the country after the 2010 season. This past season, TCU was 11-2 and finished No. 14.
But the arrests and the hints of widespread drug use could rock the program and send it spiraling downward. It's one thing to think it was a few rogue players, and quite another to believe it was just a sampling of bigger troubling things. It's innocent until proven guilty, but the perception right now is a program that off the field is out of control. And perception, as we all know, is often reality.
Will this be a temporary setback or will this burgeoning scandal take years to recover from?

For Lily Ferris, the iCreate poetry and drawing contest theme of perseverance not only gave her the topic of her poem, "Never Give Up," but it was also what she used to write her contest-winning piece.
"I was kind of scared to come up with it," said Lily, a fifth-grader at Paragon Charter Academy. "But I just went on and wrote what I felt."
Paragon students in kindergarten through sixth grade participated Wednesday for the first time in the iCreate contest, which concluded with students being presented with awards and scholarships at Westwinds Community Church.
Contest coordinator and Westwinds youth pastor Lori Tate said the event was held to celebrate students' creative abilities. Almost 300 students, staff and parents attended.
Students in kindergarten and first grade competed in drawing, while second- through sixth-graders wrote poems.
Tate said Westwinds went to Paragon with the contest idea in January. The hope, she said, was to build a better relationship with their neighbors.
"We are so excited about this, and to see the great student participation has been wonderful," Tate said. "Hopefully, we can build on this together."
Eleven poems were turned into songs by Westwinds pastor John Voelz. With the help of his band, which performs weekly at the church, Voelz put together songs with lyrics that were word for word from the poems. The song styles ranged from country to punk to reggae.
With more than 20 years of performing music, this was a first for Voelz.
"I really wanted to capture the spirit of the kids," he said.
The concert began with a punk rock version of second-grader Alex Robinson's poem, "Perseverance-Mario Edition." Robinson's poem is about his challenges in overcoming the "Super Mario" video game.
Each song had its own style but still remained true to the poems. The students said they were impressed.
"This is awesome and special to see my poem turned into a song," said Lily, the fifth-grader.

They have three children, Cindy Harman, Tammy Dolly and husband, Robin, and Jim Harman and wife, Tracy. They also have eight grandchildren, Ashleigh Webb, Chelsie Webb, Levi Harman, Meghan Dolly, Allison Dolly, Jakob Harman, Lukas Harman and Hunter Harman.

The NFL is like that: when you catch lightning in a bottle, you'd better run with it - all the way to the podium where you get to hoist the Lombardi Trophy because it may be a while before that chance comes again.
Seattle is set to host the NFC title game for only the second time in franchise history and the first time since the Carolina Panthers came to town in 2006 and lost to the Seahawks, sending Mike Holmgren and his team on their way to the Super Bowl. It's been eight years since then - these opportunities don't come along very often, and when they do you have to savor them, live in the moment if you will.
Getting to this point, hosting the NFC championship game on their home field against their bitter division rival, is something that seemed light years away when training camp began for the Seahawks in late July. But they made it - it's the final step in what could be a Super Bowl season.
"Well it's been a long year here to get to this point, and it's one that's been really fun for us, exciting, and it's really a thrill to bring a championship game to CenturyLink and to our fans," said Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll.
"The 12s are deserving and they're ready for it and excited about it, as we are, and I think this matchup is exactly what everybody is looking for, and it's an exciting one with a lot of background, and I'm grateful that it's coming from our division."
The 12s are as much a part of this NFC championship as the Seahawks players and coaches. Loyal fans filled the hill at the VMAC in Renton in the heat of July, watching the Seahawks go through the rigors of training camp. Many of those same fans were braving the rain falling sideways Saturday for the divisional round against the Saints - they'll do just about anything for their team.
"It just shows how great this city is, and the Seattle Seahawks want to bring something special to this city and to do that, we have to play the best 60 minutes of our life," said Russell Wilson.
"That's the way we look at it and see how many great minutes that we can put together and see how many great plays that we can put together and see how many great days this week we can put together and see what happens come Sunday night."
The excitement for this game is reverberating from inside the Seahawks locker room, on to the 12th Man and throughout the Northwest. An entire region knows what is at stake.
The Seahawks have a chance to do something special Sunday afternoon and that makes THIS game one of the biggest in the history of the franchise.
"It's big, it's big. I can't describe how big it is for me," said defensive end Cliff Avril, who signed with the Seahawks as a free agent. "It took six years for me to just get to this position. I didn't win any games my rookie year, so for me to be here right now - it's huge and we have to definitely soak it all in and have fun with it and make sure we go out there and play our best."
In moments like these, with what may be the opportunity of a lifetime for some of these players, playing their best is the only option because when you catch lightning in a bottle, you just don't know how long it will last.
