When the late Maryann Donlon was asked whether she thought her son, Billy, was destined to be a coach, she always had a simple retort.
'He was in the womb blowing the whistle,' she'd say.
Not without reason. To be a Donlon was to be breathe the game of basketball.
Bill Donlon spent 12 years on the college sidelines, serving as assistant to Rick Pitino at Providence during the Friars' Final Four run, and then moving on to Northwestern.
Older sister, Heather, played at Fordham and remains the NCAA record-holder for 3-point field goal percentage in a single season (she swished 57 percent in 1990). Even Maryann got involved, serving on the board of directors for a Chicago hoops-based after-school program run by Vince Carter.
But it is one thing to be immersed in basketball and another to be handed its keys.
That day came for Billy Donlon on April 14.
One day after his boss and mentor, Brad Brownell, jumped to Clemson, Wright State athletic director Bob Grant called Donlon in for a breakfast meeting. Not sure what to expect, Donlon brought a notebook and paper, figuring he'd help sketch out the Raiders' immediate future.
"Bob took my phone and called my dad and said, 'We're naming your son the next head coach,''' Donlon recalled.
And while the keys Grant handed him aren't exactly Carolina Cadillac, they are pretty sweet. Wright State has spun together four consecutive 20-win seasons, going 80-45 in the process.
When the 33-year-old Donlon coaches his first game, the youngest coach in the Horizon League (yes, there is someone younger than Brad Stevens) will welcome four seniors to the floor from a team that finished 20-12 last season. Among them is Vaughn Duggins, the Raiders' leading scorer.
And those four in particular are rather anxious to play. The one catch in all of those 20-win seasons is that all that winning has only resulted in just one postseason berth, an NCAA bid in 2007.
The Raiders' roadblock the past two seasons came in the form of a juggernaut by the name of Butler. The Bulldogs beat Wright State in last season's Horizon League title game and in the semifinals the season before.
"There's no doubt our seniors want to go,'' Donlon said. "I really believe the hardest thing, not just at the non-BCS level but everywhere, is to get into the NCAA tournament. It's easier to win once you're in it. Getting there has to be the focus.''
And getting there, of course, means getting by Butler. Or at least until the Horizon League is afforded more respect from the Selection Committee.
Donlon, like most everyone else in his conference, hopes that Butler's success not only challenges other teams to get better but also opens outsider's eyes to the quality of the competition.
"The thing is, the BCS schools are never going to play us here,'' Donlon said. "That's not going to change, so what has to change is the Selection Committee has to say we're going to take a 23-9 Horizon League team instead of a fifth-place BCS finisher. Do I think they should take a closer look? Yeah, I do.''
But heeding the sage advice of his father, Donlon also is sticking to the old adage: control what you can.
Sage advice from his dad, in fact, is a constant in Donlon's life. Bill Donlon always has led his son down the right path, even when the right path looked dicey. Growing up, he challenged his son to play on the tougher playgrounds, where the games were harder but the results truer.
"My dad always said that basketball transcends everything and it's so true,'' Donlon said. "If you could prove you could play, you commanded respect. That's what I've always appreciated about the game. If you play hard, play unselfish, people respect you.''
It's that lesson that Donlon is bringing to his players. He admits that growing up knee deep in the game has perhaps robbed him of some patience. He knows how things ought to be done and doesn't have a lot of tolerance when they aren't done that way.
"I try to be a little more understanding of what my players are going through in terms of the totality of the college experience -- school, social life, all of that,'' he said. "But I have little patience for a lack of worth ethic. You can make mistakes. You can dribble the ball off your foot, but you have to compete and work hard.''
That's the way it was if you were a Donlon.

Amazon is seemingly intent on owning most or all of its logistical network and may provide huge new revenue opportunities. These three ETFs are heavily weighted towards the internet retailer
Money Map Press chief technical analyst D.R. Barton explains the two catalysts Amazon.com (AMZN) has to boost its stock higher.
The good news is less exciting when you look beneath the surface, though, and it doesn't change the outlook for interest-rate hikes. Look for one in December.
The Swedish company reportedly steps up its race to stay ahead of Apple.

Amazon is all set to launch an app store – a move that will put it in direct competition with Google's Android Marketplace.Anya Waring, an Amazon spokesperson said, "We're starting with Android apps since it's an open ecosystem. Amazon officially hasn't made an announcement as to when our app store will launch, but all I can say right now is soon – it's coming soon."The interesting part of this is Amazon's recommendation technology, a system consumers have become accustomed to – make a purchase and you get several related, relevant recommendations of other products."It will really raise apps to the surface," said Waring. "Apps right now don't get much exposure and it can be tough to find things in a lot of app stores. But we're changing that. If you buy a set of knives on Amazon.com, then you'll see maybe a cooking app show up as a recommended item alongside a cookbook or whatever else appears now."Another interesting bit is Amazon's willingness to sell apps regardless of the operating system. "If the customer demand is there, and if it's the right move for us, then we'd be open to selling apps for other ecosystems in the future," said Waring.The Amazon Appstore is a logical move for Amazon and could be an excellent non-partisan marketplace for app consumers. Amazon will take its customary 30% cut from every app sold.For developers, watch this video about submitting apps to the Amazon Appstore.

Now, let's take a look at the directions feature in Maps, which gives you spoken turn-by-turn directions to wherever you're trying to go. If you know the exact address of your destination, you can type it right into the search bar. But if you don't have an exact address, tap in the Search field and enter a location, neighborhood, or service you're looking for. For example, maybe I'm looking for a nearby coffee shop. I'll tap the Locate button to find my current location and then enter coffee, to find some coffee shops. Let's say I want to visit this coffee shop here. I can either tap its name to get info like their phone number or website or to read some reviews.
And then I can tap Directions to Here. This gives me an opportunity to choose my starting point if I want to get directions from some place other than my current location. I can also tap this squiggly arrow to reverse the locations and get directions from the coffee shop to another location. I'm going to cancel this for now though. If you find a location you want to travel to, a quick way to get directions is to tap the blue car button to the left of the name. That draws out the route Maps suggest you take to get there. Depending on the roads and the distance, it might offer two or three possible routes. This might be useful if you want the choice to avoid highways or tolls.
Tapping a route shows you the distance and estimated travel time at the top of the screen. So, select the route you want to take, and then tap Start. On the iPhone 4S and later, that puts you into automatic turn-by-turn mode. As you drive, your phone will give you spoken directions, and alert you when turns and exits are coming up. If you're using an iPod Touch or an iPad, you won't get spoken directions. But on the iPhone 4S or later, at any time during your trip you can look at the top of your screen to get your estimated time of arrival and to see how much farther you have to go. Tap the Info at the top of the screen and then tap Overview to see your entire route.
This can help you make sure you're on the right track. You can also tap the List button at the bottom of the screen to see the directions as a list. Tap Done and then Resume to go back into turn-by-turn directions. By the way, if you happen to miss a term, Maps will automatically reroute you and get you back on track. You can continue to use your phone while using turn-by-turn navigation. If you press the Home button or open any other apps, you'll see this blue bar at the top of your screen indicating that you're still using navigation. You'll also continue to hear the audible directions while you're in other apps. Even if you lock your phone, you'll continue to hear the directions and if you wake the screen you'll see the Map and your current position.
When you reach your destination or if you don't need directions anymore, you can tap End to stop the navigation. Now, when you use the Quick Navigation button your direction is default to driving directions, but you can also Map out walking directions. First find your destination on Maps. Then tap the blue arrow, tap Directions to Here, and at the top of the screen tap the walking icon. Then tap Route. That takes you back to the Map as usual, but at the top of the screen you'll see the distance and estimated time to walk this route rather than drive it.
You'll definitely want to use the walking directions in large cities where there are lots of one way streets. Maps takes those into account with driving directions, but not with walking. Also with walking directions, after you tap Start, you can flick through the directions to see your next steps. This is also the default behavior of Maps on the iPod Touch and iPad since they can't offer audible directions. So even if you're on a iPhone 4S or later, you don't get audible turn-by-turn alerts with walking directions since you can probably look at your phone while walking, which you shouldn't do while driving. Speaking of the audible directions, you can adjust the setting by going to Settings >Maps.
And here under Navigation Voice Volume, you can choose No Voice, if you don't want to hear instructions or set the volume to low, normal, or loud. Let's go back into Maps. Now lastly, you might have noticed this third option next to the driving and walking icons that looks like a bus. In previous versions of iOS, the Maps app ran on Google Maps, which included the ability to route directions over public transit, like buses and subways. But starting with iOS 6, Apple created their own in house version of Maps, and unfortunately, it doesn't include transit directions. So, if you select Transit and tap Route, instead of getting directions, you'll get a link to several third party apps that can give you bus and subway directions.
So that's a bit disappointing especially if you live in a large city and don't drive that much. But you may want to look into some of these third party apps as many of them are very good. But as you just saw, if you're driving or walking you can easily and quickly get directions in the Maps app.

Master P, A.J. Johnson
If, after seeing Warren Beatty deliver bad, middle-aged white-guy rap and scramble about wearing oversized, baggy shorts and a knit watch cap in Bulworth, you long to see the genuine article, check out I Got the Hook-Up. An urban comedy (the current film-industry euphemism for shot-on-the-cheap movies featuring African-American performers and aimed mostly at black teenage and young-adult audiences), Hook-Up is a raucous, raunchy film that is far longer on enthusiasm than accomplishment.
Master P (whose real name is Percy Miller), a popular rapper offscreen whose latest hit CD is Ghetto D and who founded No Limit Records, produced, cowrote and stars in Hook-Up. He portrays an L.A. street entrepreneur who, along with his partner (Johnson, a stand-up comic), tries to parlay the fortuitous misdelivery of several boxes of cellular phones into a business empire. Conflict ensues with a big cellphone company, the FBI and neighborhood characters. Although occasionally broadly amusing, Hook-Up makes little sense, is choppily edited, and the language is blue enough to have made even Moms Mabley blush. (R)
Bottom Line: The only gold here is on Master P's upper front teeth

Civilization 5
I can't seem to get the policy points option to work though. No matter how I attempt to activate policy points, whether it's by within the city and leaving it or what ever order, I can't actually increase it mostly because it seems like the policy points are based on culture points which seems to be unaffected by the trainer.
Additionally, as the game progresses, instant research and instant research also becomes harder and more difficult to use. It looks like rather than actually providing an "instant" function, the way these work is adding science and production points but as the game gets to late stages if you actually want to "cheat" with the instant functions, you're left sitting there pressing the instant button, clicking you city, and then leaving your city about 15-20 times which is made super long by the apparent delay in the ACTIVATED -> DEACTIVATED of these two functions.
That said, as you can see, i'm a paid subscriber to the site so I do support the work you guys do, so please don't take this as rawr, this sucks. It's more like a first world problem thing.
TL;DR - Policy points don't work, instant research, instant building eventually becomes annoying to use because not actually instant.
The trainer was not designed for the GOTY edition of the game. You may have to resort to using a No-CD fix.
Thanks for the response, Neo.
Apologies for being a bit of an idiot on this, but mind enlightening me on how i'd pull off a no-CD workaround on a Steam version of the GOTY to work with the trainer?

thanx for making trainers....
i have a problem with trainer for civilization 5 last version (without the extension).
when i try the options 3 to 8, the trainer says at the same time "activated" and "desactivated" or "activated" and few seconds after "desactivated".
And when i choose the 8 options, in the game i can't move the units.
I try with no av and firewall and run with the admin right.

Victoria Beckham Is The New Spice Girls
I'm not going to tell you how old I am (I like the idea of you guys thinking I'm a fat kid who lives in his parents basement) but growing up, the Spice Girls videos were the closest things I had to porn. Maybe now you can understand my love for Victoria Beckham; that tight black leather suit of hers in "Say You'll Be There" made me a man. Anyway, the Girls are back together once again and it's amazing how only Posh still looks good. Back in the day, Vicki was considered the useless member of the group but oh, how things have changed. While all the other girls were busy perfecting their singing and dancing Victoria, was planning and upgrading for the inevitable reunion where she could reign supreme!

Krapf's, keep up the good work. Good job! :)
Blake Krapf is now CEO of his family's business, Krapf Bus Companies, but he certainly had to work his way up to that spot.
Krapf first came to work for the company scrubbing buses when he was 12 years old. During his high school years, he did bus maintenance and repair work after school. When he graduated, he got his CDL and drove his first routes and trips.
After college and two years as a nighttime supervisor and bus driver at Telluride Transit in Colorado, Krapf returned to Pennsylvania and the family business in 1994.
Now, more than 15 years later, Krapf has become an integral member of national and state school transportation associations, as well as in the success of Krapf Bus Companies.
For his exemplary efforts at the local, state and national levels, Krapf has been named SCHOOL BUS FLEET's 2010 Contractor of the Year.
SBF Publisher Frank Di Giacomo presented the annual award to Krapf, the 43rd recipient, at the National School Transportation Association (NSTA) Annual Meeting and Convention in St. Louis in late July.
Growing with the company
When Krapf rejoined Krapf Bus Companies in 1994, he became a supervisor for George Krapf Jr. and Sons, the school bus division. (The company's other divisions provide charter, public transit and shuttle services.)
Krapf, who is in the third generation of the family since the company was founded in 1942, continued to move up the ranks. In 2006, he was named to his current positions of CEO of Krapf Bus Companies and president of the school bus division.
Krapf has led the business through significant growth in recent years. Last year, he secured a groundbreaking contract to privatize a school district operation in Virginia, Roanoke City Public Schools. Before that, all districts in the state ran their own operations.
"I think it absolutely is historic," Dale Krapf, Blake's father and chairman of the board, says of the Roanoke conversion. "It opens new doors to us and other contractors. In this economy, there are lots of eyes on how we do there, and it has gone very well."
This year, George Krapf Jr. and Sons moved up to No. 8 in SBF's Top 50 Contractors list, which is ranked by fleet size. The company now runs nearly 1,200 school buses, transporting about 100,000 students daily in Pennsylvania, Virginia and Delaware.
Strong ties
Blake Krapf has served for several years on the NSTA board of directors as an at-large delegate. He also chairs the association's membership committee. In that role, Krapf has overseen the creation of first-time attendee orientations for the annual convention and new board member orientations. Additionally, Krapf has led efforts to bring in new benefits for members of the association.
"He's an active and sincere board member that constantly strives to understand and deliver what is best for our membership," says Tim Flood, secretary-treasurer of NSTA.
At the state level, Krapf is a key figure in the Pennsylvania School Bus Association. He is currently second vice president and chairs the association's safety committee. And he recently served on the transportation committee of the Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials.
Krapf is also active in his local community. He currently serves on the board of YMCA of the Brandywine Valley and is a former board member of the Coatesville Area Partners for Progress and the Lionville Community YMCA. He is also a past graduate of the Chester County Leadership Connection program of the United Way.
Most of all, Krapf is dedicated to his family. He and his wife, Stacey, have four children: Sierra (8), Logan (6), Sage (3) and Ella (2). They may still be too young to start working on buses, but give them a few years.

Do you really play games on the iOS platform?
Mar 09, 2012 5:09PM PST
What I see are time killers but not dedicated games that can compete with consoles. Outside of some nice racing sims and Dead Space I still have to ask where are the games? Epic claims that the iOS can indeed handle Gears of War. My question would be "then where is the iOS port. I want to play a complete action adventure game. I want to buy something that is really on par with Uncharted, Gears of War, Metroid, Metal Gear and Resident Evil. Not a clone but an original IP that makes me reevaluate the idea of iOS gaming. Why doesn't Madden look anywhere close to the console versions? Why does Resident Evil look like crap? You know what the iOS platform can do well old ports like MegaMan.
So give me the titles and I will download them. Give me something that I would consider to be time well spent. The wow moment. The oh my God I can't believe this is a cell phone game moment.

you'll get a lot of conflicting answers about this, but the truth is simply that it's a mixed bag. There's some good games, but there's few games as big as console games. But considering you can buy about fifty (50) iphone games for one console game, it kind of makes sense. There are some deep games like Galaxy of Fire 2, but most games are like Infinity Blade, which costs $10. People just don't think about that a lot when they consider games. The thing is, nobody has yet made an epic game for the iphone because it's doubtful iphone users would pay $50 for it. The highest priced games are like $15, and these are Square Enix's games like old ports of Final Fantasy Tactics and Chronotrigger, as well as some deep new RPG's they've made.
I like playing games on it, and I bought an iphone specifically for the games cause I'm a games nut. But it's not a dedicated console, and when you play the intensivew games you'll wear out your battery and you'll have no phone. But a console experience? No. But that doesn't mean it won't happen. Personal portable minicomputers like the iphone are the future. Everyone will have them. And that's a huge installer base, so a lot of companies are going to make games. There's some great games for iphone that you can't play anywhere else so I'm happy to have it.

I did for a while, but the limitations of the games always start to bother me. A lot of the stuff on there is good... but, with rare exception, it's a take off something better that you can find on another platform. Mostly, the system's just hurt by the lack of buttons. This might be mitigated if I had an iCade, but that's pretty spendy and far from universally supported. Some developers still manage to get good touch controls, but after playing several games with them, I'm... kind of worn out.
So the answer to your question is "sometimes." When I first got my phone, I loved Phoenix Spirit and Grokion; now, I can't bring myself to play Beyond Dead or Dark Incursion more than a few minutes at a time, if ever. I played Chaos Rings, but found myself largely unimpressed, especially since TWEWY handled similar concepts with so much more creativity and flair (and, for the record, I played Chaos Rings first). I love Across Age, but haven't managed to get past the final boss in months, and while people compared Sacred Odyssey to the Zelda games, the items and general lack of polish really bring that title down (not to mention that, once again, I got stuck fairly early on). An iPhone game may hold your attention for a while... but it's easy to get burnt out. I've only played Sworcery, supposedly one of the best iPhone games there is, once or twice.
I do find myself occasionally coming back to my puzzle games, especially the ones with a "zen" theme. And I did just download "Adventure Bar Story," whose mix of sim and RPG elements I expect to keep me entertained for at least a while. There is some creativity on the App Store, and the prices aren't too bad... it's just that, for the most part, you could do a lot better.

A 20-story residential tower planned at the entrance to the popular Schuylkill River Park won final approval Tuesday from the Civic Design Review board, despite concerns that the project could seriously affect pedestrian safety and an adjacent community garden.
The unanimous decision cleared the way for developer Carl Dranoff to start construction next fall.
Joan Wells, president of the Schuylkill River Park Community Garden, said she was disappointed that the review board gave the project a green light, especially after several board members pointed out problems with the design.
"He doesn't have to change anything now," she complained.
While Dranoff has all the approvals he needs to start construction, he acknowledged during the hearing that some of the criticism was legitimate, and offered to continue meeting with residents to discuss revisions to the design, by Cecil Baker + Partners.

I am having such a hard time determining what the right choice is here. My 15yo ds has been with his gf for over a year now. We have very open communication with him about sex and relationships. He is well supervized when they are here (what privacy can you get with 4 siblings!) I am no naive to the fact that they are not thinking about sex, I know they haven't yet but don't really think its all that far off.
He told me last night his gf is on birth control and I explained and questioned him about the importance of ALWAYS using a condom. We have told him that we prefer him to wait that there is way more to sex then he even understands. He is an emotional kid and I just think him taking this step could be disasterous. We have told him that we want him to come to us if he wants condoms, that we'd much rather him be smart about it if that is the choice they make.
Now I don't know if we should give him some "just in case" but I don't want it seen as a go ahead, iykwim.
What do I do here?

Mike Florio talks with reinstated Saints head coach, Sean Payton about the the release of Steve Spagnuolo, how he spent his time away from the team, and his opinion of former defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams. Then, Florio takes call and tweets from NFL fans.

Decker "week to week" with partially torn rotator cuff
Jets wide receiver Eric Decker has a partially torn rotator cuff, Jets coach Todd Bowles told reporters Friday, and Decker will miss Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks.
Bowles said Decker will be "week to week" going forward. The team plans to try rest and treatment now, but Bowles wouldn't rule out Decker needing surgery later.
Decker has nine catches for 194 yards and two touchdowns this season.
Bowles also said rookie wide receiver/return man Jalin Marshall will be out at least few weeks with a torn labrum.
TSA: No Josh Gordon incident at Cleveland airport on Thursday
The circumstances surrounding the sudden decision of Browns receiver Josh Gordon to enter rehab has sparked understandable speculation regarding the trigger for the move. Surely, something happened both to cause Gordon to abandon his imminent return to the Browns and to prompt coach Hue Jackson to slam the door on Gordon ever coming back.
Here's what didn't happen: Gordon wasn't arrested, detained, or otherwise involved in an incident at the Cleveland airport.
Via Vince Grzegorek of ClevelandScene.com, a TSA spokesman says that Gordon went through airport security on Thursday without incident.
This directly contradicts — and has prompted the expungement of — a wildly inaccurate and illogical rumor/report that Gordon was caught with a pound (yes, a pound) of marijuana at the airport.
The story has popped up in plenty of places; Scout.com gave it real credence, but it has since deleted the story without acknowledgement or explanation.
The biggest problem with the story was that, if it were true, a public record would have been created. There was no public record or any incident involving Josh Gordon, which is the best confirmation that nothing happened.
That and, of course, the unambiguous statement from the TSA.
Browns will list Haden as questionable
The Browns will list starting defensive backs Joe Haden (groin) and Ibraheim Campbell (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's game at Washington.
Both missed last week's game in Miami.
Veteran cornerback Tramon Williams will be listed as doubtful with a shoulder injury. Rookie defensive end Carl Nassib (hand), rookie wide receiver Corey Coleman (hand), center Cameron Erving (bruised lung), linebacker Nate Orchard (ankle) and rookie tight end Seth DeValve (knee) are out.
Browns Coach Hue Jackson wouldn't say who he plans to start on the offensive line. He hinted earlier this week that he may move John Greco from center back to guard after guard Alvin Bailey was arrested for OVI earlier in the week. Austin Reiter, who was signed earlier this month from the Washington practice squad, would start at center if Greco moves back to guard.
"Major concern" about Sammy Watkins' availability moving forward
Early last week, Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins said missing games because of his surgically repaired foot was "out the window."
At some point after that, Watkins' foot was stepped on in practice and now worry is mounting that Watkins' season may be out the window.
Watkins didn't play in last Sunday's 33-18 win over the Cardinals and he has been ruled out again this week after failing to get on the practice field at all. Beyond that, Bills coach Rex Ryan said in his Friday press conference that there is "major concern" about Watkins' availability as the season moves forward.
There were reports to that effect coming out of the first game of the season, although Watkins shrugged them off by saying that his foot was merely "tired." He went on to play against the Jets in Week Two, but didn't look like the same kind of downfield threat that he was in his first two seasons.
The Bills were able to adapt well enough to win without him last week, but the loss of Watkins would be a hard thing for them to overcome on a weekly basis while still winning enough to make a push for a long-awaited playoff bid.
Marvin Jones practicing Friday and looks fine
The NFL's leader in receiving yards through the first three weeks of the season popped up on Thursday's injury report with a hamstring injury, but it looks like Marvin Jones will be good to go against the Bears this weekend.
Jones returned to practice on Friday and multiple members of the media attending the session report that he looks fine on the field. Jones was not on the Wednesday injury report, suggesting he tweaked the hamstring at some point during Thursday's practice, which created some cause for worry given the relative lack of time before Sunday's game.
As long as there's no other flareup later on Friday, it would seem that Jones will be in the lineup without any limitations. Jones has 18 catches for 408 yards and two touchdowns in his first three outings as a member of the team.
While Jones' presence is good news for the offense, it looks like Detroit will be playing without defensive end Ziggy Ansah and linebacker DeAndre Levy again this week. Neither player is practicing on Friday, which will leave stopping the Bears' low-octane offense to others on the Lions roster.
Hue Jackson on Josh Gordon: "We need to close that chapter right now"
The Browns were close to having an eligible Josh Gordon.
But now that he's entered a rehab facility on the eve of being reinstated from his latest substance abuse policy suspension, the Browns seem to be over the entire situation.
"We're moving on," coach Hue Jackson said, via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "We need to close that chapter right now. . . .
'I'm not going to answer any more questions about Josh Gordon. I'm done with it."
While understandable, it's also a stark approach considering how close Gordon seemed to be. Team ambassador Jim Brown has said this offseason he thought Gordon was on the right track. The Browns had tried to insulate Gordon as best they could, but are apparently tired of the effort involved.
For their troubles and a supplemental second-round pick, the Browns got 35 games, 161 catches, 2,754 yards and 14 touchdowns from Gordon. But he hasn't played for them since December 2014, and it appears he may not again.
Jerry Jones: Dez Bryant's availability based on his ability to withstand pain
Cowboys owner/noted orthopedist Jerry Jones has weighed in, and he's not ready to rule out his star receiver.
Jones said during an interview on 105.3 The Fan, via Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News, that he wasn't sure if Dez Bryant was going to be able to play this week against the 49ers or not.
Jones called the situation "a pain thing," which is the same way he described guard La'El Collins' toe injury. For what it's worth, a source close to Collins denied that earlier this week.
Jones said he wasn't surprised that an MRI of Bryant's knee showed a hairline fracture, but wasn't concerned about the prospect of doing more damage if he played.
"It's the ability to perform with pain," Jones said.
While Jones' medical credentials are unquestioned, his players might not appreciate the implication that they could just rub some dirt on it and suit up, since that seems to be his default response to injury questions this week.
Emmanuel Sanders: If you think I'm a diva, I don't mind
Heading into last Sunday's game against the Bengals, Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders said there was "some frustration" with the amount of balls being thrown to him and Demaryius Thomas in the first two weeks of the season.
The Broncos won both of those games, something Sanders noted as a factor keeping the frustration at a low level and something that others might have felt showed diva-like tendencies from the wideout. That's label isn't something that bothers Sanders.
"Hey, one thing, I don't mind being a diva," Sanders said, via ESPN.com. "I am a diva. I am a diva. I like winning ballgames, I like catching passes. Every wide receiver in the world likes to catch passes; every wide receiver in the world likes to put up points. After that game when the defense scored two touchdowns and you're looking and [cornerback Aqib] Talib has more touchdowns and the defense is holding us down, we're looking at ourselves and saying offensively that we have to step it up."
Whether it was a case of a squeaky wheel getting some grease or the way the game played out, both Sanders and Thomas had big games in the 29-17 road win. They combined for 15 catches, 217 yards and three touchdowns in a performance that Sanders says shows what the offense is capable of doing this season.
"We can be dangerous," Sanders said. "I think that's the reason our articles last week said that Demaryius and me were frustrated, obviously because we know the potential of this offense. We know that we can have a balanced attack and we can go out and throw 300 yards and four touchdowns and we can also run the ball, too. We can rush for 150 yards. Obviously all of that comes with preparation out on the field and executing at a high level and maximizing our potential."
The Buccaneers defense ranks around the middle of the pack in terms of both passing and rushing yards allowed, which should give the Broncos opportunities to make gains in both phases of the offense as they try for a 4-0 start to the season.
Ditching marijuana ban would be good business for NFL
Pigs get fat, hogs got slaughtered, and employers who unreasonably try to run the private lives of their employees eventually pay for it.
Amid efforts to understand why the NFL's TV audience is shrinking, there's one reason that unnecessarily is keeping some of the best young players off the field: The Big Brotherish ban on marijuana use.
Whether it's Josh Gordon, Justin Blackmon, Martavis Bryant, Randy Gregory, or any other player who has been or will be suspended for smoking marijuana or using other recreational drugs on their own time, the NFL's effort to supplement the criminal justice system by punishing players who haven't been arrested or charged with any crime deprives the game of talented players who could be making the game more exciting and compelling and competitive.
It's one of several issues the league needs to consider when engaging in much-needed navel gazing regarding the reasons for the dip in ratings and the ways to change it. Apart from the reality that it's the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do for the business of the NFL.
Don't count on the NFL changing course spontaneously. Because the issue of marijuana use has become part of the broader menu of collective-bargaining topics, the league will want a concession from the NFL Players Association before ever walking away from the marijuana ban, even if it's clearly in the best interests of the game to defer any concerns regarding the use of marijuana and other street drugs to the relevant legal authorities and/or the inherent meritocracy of the sport.
Put simply, if a guy doesn't get arrested and can continue to perform at a satisfactory level regardless of whether he uses marijuana, he should be allowed to keep playing — and the league should want to do all it can to help him keep playing.
Jaguars list Julius Thomas as questionable for Sunday
The Jaguars are set to get a couple of players back in the lineup after they missed last Sunday's loss to the Ravens, but it won't be until Sunday morning that we know if tight end Julius Thomas will be ready to go against the Colts.
Thomas, who has 11 catches for 148 yards and a touchdown, was listed as questionable on the team's injury report for Sunday's game. He was a limited participant in Friday's practice after missing the first two days due to an elbow injury.
Linebacker Dan Skuta is also questionable due to a hip injury. Defensive end Jared Odrick will miss another week with a tricep injury and tight end Ben Koyack has been ruled out with a knee issue.
Cornerback Prince Amukamara is set to play for the first time since the season opener as his hamstring injury cleared up enough for two full practices to close out the week. Left tackle Kelvin Beachum is also good to go after missing last week with a concussion suffered against the Chargers in Week Two.
Bill O'Brien takes over playcalling in Houston
The J.J. Watt injury diminishes the Houston defense, which puts more pressure on the offense. In response to that pressure, coach Bill O'Brien is rolling up his sleeves even farther.
Via John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, O'Brien will assume responsibility for playcalling, from offensive coordinator George Godsey.
O'Brien called plays in 2014. Last year, however, O'Brien delegated the responsibility to Godsey. A slow start to the 2016 season, punctuated by a shutout last Thursday night against the Patriots, has prompted O'Brien to add the task to his existing responsibilities.
The move may be regarded by some as desperation. Regardless, O'Brien is doing what he believes he needs to do to turn around a team that has high expectations for 2016 — and that will be expected to perform well even without Watt.
Colts rule Donte Moncrief and Darius Butler out for Jaguars game
The Colts are gradually getting healthier, but considering where they started from, it's going to take some time.
Via Mike Chappell of FOX 59, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said that cornerback Darius Butler (hamstring) and wide receiver Donte Moncrief (shoulder) were out for this week's game against the Jaguars in London, along with center Jonotthan Harrison (illness).
He wasn't ready to make a declaration about offensive linemen Joe Reitz and Denzelle Good, saying there was still time to decide whether they'd be able to play.
The Colts have been playing with a patchwork secondary and offensive line all season, and could be in a position to activate four rookie offensive linemen this week.
Sean Payton suggests Terron Armstead injury not a long-term one
Saints coach Sean Payton doesn't say much about injured players, but what he said about a healthy one gives some indication of how long a key absence might be.
Via Josh Katzenstein of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Payton was asked if playing Andrus Peat at left tackle was related to a long-term injury for Armstead, and the coach "quickly said no multiple times."
Asked for a timeline on Armstead's return, Payton said: "I'll keep you posted."
Armstead missed the Week Three game against the Falcons with a knee injury, and hasn't practiced this week. He's been dealing with quad and knee problems since before training camp.
But Payton made it clear the long-term plan was to play Peat next to Armstead when he returns.
"When Terron comes back, he's back at left guard," Payton said of Peat during a conference call.
The 2015 first-round pick started the first two games at left guard, after they experimented with him at right guard during OTAs. But he's more comfortable on the left so they moved him back to the left during the preseason.
Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Robert Kraft buy a part of the UFC
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Patriots owner Robert Kraft are now minority owners of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
The talent agency WME-IMG recently purchased the UFC for $4 billion, and today the UFC announced that as part of that purchase, a number of athletes, entertainers and businessmen have bought small stakes in the mixed martial arts promotion.
"Our new investors bring an incredible depth of knowledge and experience to help us continue to elevate this brand and capitalize on its entertainment and sports crossover appeal," UFC President Dana White said in a statement.
In addition to Newton, Brady and Kraft, minority owners of the UFC include actors Sylvester Stallone, Ben Affleck and Mark Wahlberg, late-night hosts Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel and tennis players Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams and Venus Williams.
Receivers get some time at safety during Giants practice
Nat Berhe appeared on the Giants injury report with a concussion on Thursday, leaving the team with two healthy safeties for practice.
Berhe and Darian Thompson, who has a foot injury, may both be out for Monday's game against the Vikings and the team was also working without cornerbacks Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Eli Apple, forcing them to do a little improvising. Wide receivers Dwayne Harris, Geremy Davis and Darius Powe all saw scout team time at safety and Harris said the coaches have told him that he might get time there in Monday's game as well.
"They mentioned to me, 'We might possibly need you on defense.' But they haven't really said anything to me like it's set in stone right now," Harris said. "So I don't know what way they're going, what they're going to do about it. As far as right now, I'm just keeping an open mind with it. If they need me, they need me. If not, I'll continue what I've been doing. … I'm pretty sure I could do it. I'm pretty sure it's not that hard — tackle somebody and if the ball comes to you, intercept it. Sounds easy."
Harris said he last played defense for four snaps in middle school, so it may be a bit more difficult than that. For now, Landon Collins and Andrew Adams are the safeties, although there might be one other offensive option.
Odell Beckham has more recent experience playing safety as he got some snaps at the position during last February's Pro Bowl, although opinions will vary about whether or not that amounts to more than a middle school level of intensity. Coach Ben McAdoo said, via the New York Post, "never say never" when asked if Beckham could be out there again.

Wanted to make a new post for everyone trying those months I wil start off I'm dee and I'm 24 and will hoply be 25 when my baby finally comes
Wow so much exciting news lately. I will have to go back and really catch up with everyone!
Congrats Wondering Soul!
Kate that ultrasound is adorable.
Amy- So glad your little bean is doing good!
Amanda- Jorianna is adorable. She and Jase are about even.
I'm so excited for the next 9 months here on the board. So many babies!
AFM Jase is 10 months today. He is walking! little distances but he's walking. His first walk was on July 28th. He is so cool! He cracks me up every day. I can't believe I'm already thinking about his 1st birthday. Wow time flys We just got back a bit ago from a weekend camping trip. Here's a few pictures of him.
Carrie -(42) Single mom by choice and proud of it!
Wondering Soul....
I think everyone handles it differently. I have been very open with my situation if I feel it matters. If you are some stranger and ask me "who is more excited for the baby, you or your husband?" I simply reply "Me" and I leave the rest behind. For those who are part of my life, I simply explain that I choose a different path in life and im excited about the future. Some people ask... "Have I ever met the guy" or "How did I miss the wedding" and I tell them you didnt miss anything. I choose to use a donor. Everyone has been so supportive. Some want to know more and some are just happy that Im happy. My view... its my life. No yours. I dont judge you for having 4 kids with 3 differnet baby daddys, so dont judge me for choosing this road. The story becomes easier and more fluid as I tell more people.That just my take on the situation.
Carrie - Hi baby Jase - you are a cutie pie!
Amanda - Jorianna is just adoreable.
AFM: Almost through my tww. In my previous tww's I have been so anxious to test and have been like a HPT addict. But this go around I've been calm and no real urge to test - I figure if it's going to happen it will. My beta is on Monday so I'll get the news then. Hope I can make it through the weekend with that same resolve!

6 IUI's BFN, 1 OE m/c Jul '11, DE/IVF - 2 fresh, 1 FET BFN, 2nd FET Oct '13 BFP! Logan Alexander arrived Jul 20, 2014!!
Darcie, I crossing EVERYTHING I have that you get your BFP!
Helen, SMBC to E 9/21/10 (EP Platinum) and D 5/19/14 (EP Gold)
Darcie, fingers crossed for you!
I have my NT US on Thursday and can't wait to see the baby again. I have been missing my RE ultrasounds, I was really spoiled there. I'm not feeling as sick, which is nice. I have round ligament pain now, I think - anyone get it this early? I'm pretty sure that's what it is based on location.
Well, sad news to report, another BFN. I'm seriously not sure how much more I can take. It was especially devastating this time around since my embies were so perfect - 1 expanding blastocycst and 1 more near perfect.
The only positive is that I have six in the deep freeze for another try. ** Big sigh** Time for a good cry.

Elizabeth Janeway[Lolita's] illicit nature will both shock the reader into paying attention and prevent sentimentally false sympathy from distorting his judgment. Contrariwise, I believe, Mr. Nabokov is slyly exploiting the American emphasis on the attraction of youth and the importance devoted to the "teen-ager" in order to promote an unconscious identification with Humbert's agonies. Both techniques are entirely valid. But neither, I hope, will obscure the purpose of the device: namely, to underline the essential, inefficient, painstaking and pain-giving selfishness of all passion, all greedof all urges, whatever they may be, that insist on being satisfied without regard to the effect their satisfaction has upon the outside world. Humbert is all of us.

The Indianapolis Colts' offense was no surprise for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Without Peyton Manning they had trouble moving the ball throughout the game.
Indianapolis' defense, however, gave the Steelers fits all night.
Instead of a blowout, the Steelers found themselves in a tough battle behind three Ben Roethlisberger turnovers.
Troy Polamalu came up big picking up a forced fumble caused by James Harrison and returning it for a score. Indianapolis would later answer to tie the game at 20.
But in typical Roethlisberger form, he led the Steelers down the field to set up Shaun Suisham for a 38-yard field-goal attempt for the win.
Suisham made it and the Steelers narrowly escaped.
Despite holding the ball for nearly eight minutes more than the Colts and outgaining them by over 160 yards, Pittsburgh had a nail-biter.
They will still take the win and move on to next week, but there are areas to be worried about, especially along the offensive line which suffered three injuries this evening.

If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
Fool of Infiniti
A wanton bird pecks at the stars
A Jester peers through crystal bars
This prison of love with rainbow hue
Illusion parts to lets you through
On dragon wings forever free
You quest into your dreams to see
Smoke and mirrors and shadow haze
To guide you through an endless maze
Slow motion tear rolls down her cheek
Its only passion that you seek ?
Engulfed in strange duality.
She wonders her reality
Your eyes still mock her with desire
Your kisses light her inner fire
Your touch can melt her to your will
But you will never take your fill
Black widow spider guards your heart
She spun the web, she keeps it taut
It is your only fatal flaw.
A secret, silent metaphor.
And all about her swirl the dreams
The nightmares all with voiceless screams
And in her hand the strangest key
To fit the door of What Will Be ?
And when her eyes search yours again
You take her to the spider den
You spin the dreams she hopes to see
And lock your hearts in mystery.
So enter in to lick the flame
Eternal prisoner of the game
Illusion is false imagery
She whispers your Infinity
The Queen of Fate
The Queen of Fate by the outer Gate
Her carriage to Nowhere, will await
Her cloak is wrapped against the night
Her eyes are wide with peculiar fright
Gray horses eyes turn back in fear
With thunderclaps upon her ear
Blue jagged lightning points the way
Along the path to yesterday
Cold, sullen driver cracks his whip
His crooked smile curls round his lip
His horses leap the cruel abyss
Dark Queen of Fate sees none amiss
Above the mist a gate appears
Who will wipe the Gate-man's tears ?
Gray horses strike and paw the air
Fate Queen ascends the carriage stair
And all about her swirl the dreams
The nightmares all with voiceless screams
And in her hand a wondrous key
To lock Enigma's Mystery
Pass through the gate O Queen of Fate
Another carriage will await
Drawn by Steeds of Promises
Illusion Starts and Finishes

If wishes were horses,
And I was a stallion,
Would you ride me home?
Would you ride me to the comfort of your heart?
Would you keep me in the finest confines of your soul's house?
Would you caress my beastly body with your soft hands?
Would I afford the pleasure of your whispers in my ears?
Would you please my soul with your soulful laughter?
Would you ride me through the dullest of days;
through the darkest of nights?
Would you dry your tears upon my willing neck?
Would you give me a name to bear forever?
Or would you just pass me by,like any other beast?
Would just throw me a soulless glance and fade away-
like mist chancing upon sunlight?
Or would you stroke me a little, the decide I'm not worth it?
Would you look me in the eye and walk away?
Would you let my eyes see you go through the tears?
Tell me Love,if you'd rather not see my heart tear apart,
Why are wishes not horses-
Why am I not your stallion?

The center of a star reflects just like a diamond...
Returning a pearl within each silver breath that one treasures...
With faceted panels, I promised I'd never...
Sweep over a deep sea of blue waves unmeasured...
There is a pattern woven inside golden petals that kiss the inside of my heart...
Parts of my heart that I've thus' failed to start...
With soft fingers dancing, you're forever entrancing...
My star that's eternally far...

The prairie's now a city, just a cold and sterile land
The Spirits have been driven out for the benefit of man.
The fields are carved with pavement and the lights glow all the time
And a towered concrete profile marks the City limit line.
But the Mustangs will keep on running through the brick and granite plains
With the winds forever blowing through their bronze metallic manes
Time will never tame them, forever young through eternity
Never to be broken and forever running free.
We try to keep it wild and pure but the times demand so much.
The land once owned by nature, we are now so out of touch.
Another road another bridge and we keep on building on,
Tearing down and building back now the wilderness is a gone
But the Mustangs will keep on running through the brick and granite plains
With the winds forever blowing through their bronze metallic manes
Time will never tame them, forever young through eternity
Never to be broken and forever running free.
The land will give its life to you and we take it in our hands.
We cover up what's good and true, its Spirit wild and grand.
So we forged some spirits from the past and we put them on display
And we set them up to be the last wild horses of our day.
So the Mustangs will keep on running through the brick and granite plains
With the winds forever blowing through their bronze metallic manes.
Time will never tame them, forever young through eternity
Never to be broken and forever running free.

If I were a rich man I tell you what I'd do;
I would sleep all day and drink all night;
Til I was bored and could snore no more,
Then I would look to see if I could find me,
When I did I would climb in a bath and soak in cream til' I was clean,
I would piss away my money on everything not thinking about tomorrow
or even my family,
Maybe I would play the lottery hoping I wouldn't win,
Then I could try it all again,
I guess I would give some to the church then maybe I would find peace with god,
I would travel the world to see what I could see,
I would buy a yacht and sail around the world,
Then if I got bored I would sell the boat and go back to shore,
If wishes were horses then beggers would ride,
It is nice to think what I would do but when I open my eyes I realize,
I am who I am and that I can't lie,
I am broke and that is no joke!

The Black Stallion
On a hill overlooking a wide broken canyon
runs a beautiful wild horse, an impressive black stallion
Mile after mile, in the distance, the stallion runs
he's wild and free galloping with pure abandon
Untamed and unbridled, he proudly flaunts his energy
No one can break him, his spirit is always wild and free
Nostrils a flare he bolts to the distant horizon without care
No one approaches, whoever could, who ever would dare?
His black coat glistens in the sun, in the pale morning light
His tendons tighten and flex as he readies for his flight
He rides like the wind vanishing quickly from my sight
I wait for his appearance, he arrives shortly before twilight
He sees me approaching at daybreak, will he allow me to his side?
All I want to do is be his friend, climb on top and go for a ride
He never allows approach, in a flash he's gone, far away he roams
He's wild, proud, and free, it's true, but... spends his days alone.

Beside the beaten path, I ride
Passed the followers who robotically glide
Over the rocks, the pebbles, and the stones; goodbye
They make their way home and I the same...the throne
Like programs written by the user
They have one task to fulfill
I write my life on my own keys
The virus you cannot kill
And I'll wiggle my way in
and eat from the inside
Until I'm full and want no more
Until the way is mine

Injured ABC newsman Bob Woodruff will return to the network in February with a special one-hour documentary about his accident and his road to recovery. To Iraq and Back: Bob Woodruff Reports will air on ABC at 10 p.m. Tuesday, February 27.
Woodruff was reporting in Iraq in January of 2006 when an improvised explosive device blew up near him and his cameraman, Daniel Vogt, injuring them both. Woodruff caught a load of shrapnel in his head, neck, and torso, and was airlifted to a US military hospital to receive emergency treatment.
In the special, Woodruff will interview the soldiers and ABC producers who were eyewitnesses to the explosion. He will also speak to the doctors and nurses who operated on him in Iraq, as well as the medical teams that oversaw his convalescence at the US military hospital in Germany and at the Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. He will also spend time with wounded soldiers who are in the hospital.

Weld District Attorney Ken Buck said Thursday his office has filed first-degree murder charges in the Angie Zapata case.
The suspect, Allen Ray Andrade, 32, of Thornton also will be charged with a bias or hate crime, because Zapata was a transgender woman. Zapata, 20, was living as a woman although she was born male.
Andrade was first charged with second-degree murder, but Buck said "circumstances of the case support the first-degree murder charge."
According to affidavits in the case, Andrade attacked Zapata when he discovered she had male genitalia. He first beat her with a fire extinguisher, stopped to clean up, then when Zapata started to get up, he beat her again with the fire extinguisher, killing her.
This will be the first murder in Weld County charged as a hate crime. Buck said the bias-connected charges have been filed before in other crimes in Weld, but not a murder.
Adding "transgender" people to the list of hate crimes was done three years ago in a bill signed by then-Colorado Gov. Bill Owens.
The hate crime, or bias-crime addition adds another felony charged against Andrade, and could result in a more severe penalty.

RWC: New Zealand v France
Have to have a sneaky bet on Les Bleus.
I hope you picked right, at least it would make the odds less one sided in their future tests. I couldn't go against the home side, though, and I see Kry... ah, couldn't decide.
Although I'm a bit worried now, French coach Marc Lievremont said that he'd probably pool a second string side against NZ in the pool stages as he'd 'probably only beat them once' and wants that to be in the knockouts.
New Zealand beat them 37 to 17, woo hoo 6 cents on the dollar winnings...
