SAN BERNARDINO - Retiring Sheriff Rod Hoops has been accused of brokering an agreement with the county Board of Supervisors to ensure the appointment of his replacement, according to a former deputy chief.
"Recognizing the purpose of the visits by Sheriff Hoops, and encouraging the board to reflect on past experiences with him, I would suggest that a heathy dose of skepticism be applied to much of what is said by the sheriff," retired deputy chief Keith D. Bushey said in his letter to the board.
"The perception within the Sheriff's Department, which is just about universal, is that Sheriff Hoops has already brokered an agreement with the board to ensure the appointment of John McMahon as his replacement."
In his letter Bushey also announced his own candidacy for the position.
Josie Gonzales, chair of the board, emphatically denied Bushey's accusation on Tuesday.
"I don't broker deals with anyone," she said. "He better be able to back those accusations up.
"I am not aware of what Mr. Bushey is referring to, but if you're trying to put yourself in a positive light for a position of this magnitude then it probably isn't a good idea to begin your plea with false accusations."
Hoops said he did recommend McMahon to the board when he submitted his letter of retirement.
Bushey said in his letter dated Tuesday that his decision to run for the job of sheriff was in no way intended to be critical of McMahon, currently the assistant sheriff.
"I think very highly of McMahon," said Bushey. "But recognize that he does not at this time possess anywhere near the skills and experience required to effectively lead an organization of over 3,500 employees with an annual budget of approximately $440 million."
Bushey is currently staff instructor with the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association.
Hoops disagrees with Bushey's assessment.
The $440 million budget that Bushey claims McMahon doesn't have the experience to handle is not an accurate statement, according to the outgoing sheriff.
"Running this department is a team effort," said Hoops. "Budgets are delegated to command level leadership, and they are accountable for those budgets."
"John McMahon is more than capable to lead this department into the future." Hoops added.
The largest law enforcement agency for the nation's largest county is spearheaded by men and women that have been entrusted by the current as well as former sheriffs to do the right thing for the community, Hoops said.

Rubens, Giorgione, Klee and Corot have painted it; Jean Cocteau has turned it into film.
However, figure to yourself Corot fully embarked on his career as a painter.
By Corot there is but one painting at Chantilly, but it is one of his finest works.
The scenery is soft and silvery in tone, like the landscape of a Corot.
As a landscape painter he does not belong to the family of Corot and Dupr.
Corot took many a long walk with him over narrow, unfrequented paths.
Hung in a gallery among other pictures, a Corot does not clamour for notice.
Corot also took the brilliant opportunity of the hours of sleep.
So with a Corot picture; its quietness is the very antipodes of stagnation.
A great-granddaughter of Fragonard, she seems to have inherited his talent; Corot and Renoir forcibly appealed to her.

CUPERTINO, CA -- A new videogame app called Vend Drama 1.0 for Apple mobile devices challenges players to help "snack stars" escape from a vending machine. The anthropomorphized snacks jump from the top row to the bottom, and slide from side to side. If gamers move too fast, the machine will clog. But if they move too slowly, they'll leave a "snack master" behind. And if they tilt too far to the right or left, the snack stars will tumble over the edge.
Players combine reflexes, balance and quick thinking skills to move on to the next level to face an even more daunting challenge.
"Vend Drama is truly a one-of-a-kind creative puzzle app," commented Australian independent app developer Con Roditis. "And while it's easy to play, it's quite challenging to master. And all the while, the timer keeps ticking. Gamers will truly enjoy playing Vend Drama. In fact, they may never look at a vending machine the same way again!"
Vend Drama 1.0 is available for free at the App Store in the "games" category. It's optimized for iPhone 5, and compatible with iPads and iPods.

The Best Creams For Dealing With Stretch Marks
One of the primary reasons for the occurrence of stretch marks is when the body increases or decreases in size at a rate which is faster than it is supposed to. It may seem a little difficult to understand how this worked, but consider any material that is not designed to stretch (at any speed) and imagine what it looks like after it shrinks. Think about an individual who is attempting to lose weight and is successful, after being overweight for any length of time, the stretched skin has nowhere to go, the same thing happens to women who give birth. In no particular order, here are 5 stretch mark creams that users have found to work very effectively in removing these stretch marks.
RevitaGen Stretch Mark Cream
Getting rid of stretch marks should not break your budget, especially if you earned them trying to improve your health or bring another life into the world. RevitaGen promises to help your skin achieve a firm and toned texture. This will be accomplished through moisturizing and hydrating your skin. With ingredients like Aloe and Coca Butter, it can only make things better.
There is a certain amount of stress that comes along with stretch marks, which is why Zenmed has introduced this product to the market. If you have looked at yourself in the mirror and did not like what you saw as far as stretch marks go, Zenmed has been proven to show results anywhere from 6-8 weeks and those results are achieved through deep skin nourishment and the removal of dead cells in the skin.
If you are thinking about improving the quality of your skin then Revitol may be just what you are looking for. Stretch marks are generated through a sudden expansion so it makes sense that Revitol would take that into consideration when they put this product together. One of the tricks in overcoming the problem of stretch marks is to address it early. Two of the key ingredients that make Revitol successful at dealing with these unwanted marks are Vitamins A and E.
Because Barmon has taken the time to ensure that their product is safe for their customers, they make it clear that they can be used when baby is around. This is usually accomplished due to their use of all natural ingredients. Barmon is proud of the fact that they never had nor ever will use animals to aid in any the testing of any product. The safety of their products also extends to the nursing of your baby.
Whether you are trying to lose weight or have a baby, you should consider keeping one of these tubes of cream close by. Some manufactures of creams have been known to use parabens in their product, TriLASTIN is proud of the fact that this ingredient which has been linked to tumors is not included in their cream. And finally, just to make sure that their customers get results, TriLASTIN also has a maximum strength formula which is certain to work for everyone.

The Osprey Brand Team, a group of ambassadors reporting from the field at consumer outdoor events across the country as well as reporting on adventures in their own neck of the woods, was in attendance at last weekend's Green Festival – a joint project of Global Exchange and Green America. Check out this full wrap-up from brand team members Miriam Karpilow and Sarah Trejo…
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. Well, we suppose we could have, but it wouldn't have done any good, since this November morning was nothing but blue skies and t-shirt temperatures. In fact, had the round-trip distance to San Francisco not looked something like 165 miles, we probably would have ridden our bikes to the GreenFestival!
Your two faithful Osprey Brand Team'ers had to park a good 10-minute walk away from the expo hall, so we had an opportunity to soak in the sun and general ambiance as we wove our way among the hippies, hipsters, green-pinstripes and enthusiastic student-types. It was so encouraging to see that we were not the only ones carrying our own bags and reusable water bottles! Upon arrival at the entrance we were greeted by the Ritter Sport remote-controlled truck that was rolling around and passing out little squares of chocolates. These are no regular chocolates; they're German chocolates! Miriam being half-German and having grown up loving Ritter Sport, promptly flipped out and started grabbing the bright little packages. Additionally, Ritter Sport was there interviewing people for a chance to win a year supply of chocolate – check out Sarah with the mic!
We finally bought our tickets and walked in to the hall. It was overwhelming! SO MUCH TO SEE! The map was useless; we just started wandering. There were booths galore – organic, sustainably produced clothing; free-trade chocolate; kombucha (ewww); phases of the moon calendar; elephant poop greeting cards; bags of all sizes made from repurposed kite sails, billboards, tires and a bunch of other stuff. There were also all sorts of magazines being represented and we admittedly found it odd that there would be so much paper at a Green Festival. That didn't stop us from picking up some great rags on vegetarian cooking (can't wait to try some of those recipes!), yoga, responsible global politics and so on.
Eagle-Eye Sarah pointed out interesting people and stuff for Miriam to capture and upload to Twitter. Some of the highlights include the "Bag Man." This was a dude who was walking around under about 500 plastic shopping bags (like you get at the grocery store), roughly the amount one consumer uses in a year. Seeing the sheer volume of plastic at once really puts things in perspective. People! Bring your own bags to the store! And if you can help it, why not use Earth-friendly bags made from organic or recycled materials (perhaps you can grab your Osprey ReSource backpack and pedal your bike to the store)?
We also spotted a gentleman Tweeting old-skool style: on a typewriter! He had a sign advertising poems… we asked him to write one for us. While he typed away, we observed a group of guys – probably high school students – looking on, completely agog. The look on their faces was something between "what the heck is that?" and "wow, that is pretty cool!" Isn't it interesting that this little human-powered machine that was so revolutionary during our grandparents' and parent's generation, has so quickly become antiquated due to quick advancements in technology? This might have been the first time these boys had actually seen a real, live typewriter! Oh, and our poem was… weird.
Speaking of antiquated technologies, how about all that elephant dung, recycled, seed-infused paper! Miriam and Sarah, despite their recycling, composting, reusing tendencies, are two people who still love themselves a handwritten letter or note. Your gals bought some beautiful, plantable (as in: seeds IN the paper), recycled fiber paper for this very purpose. Hey – why don't you pick up a pen and write a nice note to let someone and tell them how much you care about them, in writing?! Guaranteed, it'll make their day!
Around lunch time, we plunked ourselves on the ground in the food section. Oh wow, so many yummy options! But we brought our own stuff AND our own utensils. Miriam being the Green person she is, always carries a supply of utensils (including chopsticks) and napkins in her glove box for exactly such moments. Ever notice how a jaunt to a (gasp) fast food place or sandwich shop or café always results in extra napkins and/or plastic sporks? Do you find yourself just tossing that stuff in the trash? Well again, we can thank Miriam's responsible German side for collecting the goods for (re)use. And how cool is it that, at this GreenFestival, there were closely monitored bins for trash, recycle and compost? Wouldn't it be cool if that were the norm?
After lunch, Sarah steered your faithful Osprey reps down the dessert aisle, where many amazing chocolates were sampled. When you learn more about the details of the chocolate industry, you will be happy to pay a premium for organic, free-trade chocolate.
We wandered around a bit more, all the while chatting people up about Osprey bags and handing out coupons for a cool promotion at local Lombardi Sports (buy an Osprey bag, get a steel water bottle for free!). That was, after all, one of the reasons were at the GreenFestival to begin with: to inform eco-conscious consumers that there are some pretty awesome eco-conscious and rugged bags available for all your carrying needs. The ReSource bags, folks. They rock!
Peace and sunshine to you from Northern California,
Miriam and Sarah

Acid mucopolysaccharidesAMP; Dermatan sulfate - urine; Urine heparan sulfate; Urine dermatan sulfate; Heparan sulfate - urine
Acid mucopolysaccharides is a test that measures the amount of mucopolysaccharides released into the urine over a 24-hour period.
Mucopolysaccharides are long chains of sugar molecules found throughout the body, often in mucus and in fluid around the joints.
How the Test is Performed
A 24-hour urine sample is needed.
- On day 1, urinate into the toilet when you get up in the morning.
- Afterwards, collect all urine in a special container for the next 24 hours. Keep it in the refrigerator or a cool place during the collection period.
- On day 2, urinate into the container when you get up in the morning.
- Cap the container. Label the container with your name, the date, the time of completion, and deliver it to the laboratory or your health care provider as soon as possible.
How to Prepare for the Test
There is no special preparation needed.
How the Test Will Feel
The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
Why the Test is Performed
This test is done to diagnose a rare group of genetic disorders called mucopolysaccharidoses, including Hurler syndrome.
This test is usually only done in infants who have a family history of one of these disorders.
Normal Results
Normal levels vary with age and from lab to lab. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormally high levels are a sign of mucopolysaccharidosis. Further tests are needed to determine the specific type of mucopolysaccharidosis.

This is where it all began for Ocean Crusaders. As a professional skipper in the Whitsundays I began pulling Dead Sea turtles out of the water so they could be inspected by marine parks. The key moment came when one of the turtles I pulled out was found to have a plastic bag formed perfectly in its stomach. It had died of starvation but not before trying to eat 12 cigarette butts, a plastic water bottle cap and 1/2 a coke can. I set out to educate people of the issue and this is my crusade.
Our world uses somewhere between 500 billion and one trillion plastic bags every single year. They are big numbers but let's put those numbers into perspective. We see these numbers and we go, O.K that's big but have you ever tried to count to one million, let alone one billion or one trillion. To count straight through from one to 1,000,000 will take you 11 days. Yep, that's right 11 days. Try 32 years to count to one billion. You cannot count to one trillion in your lifetime.
Or let's put it another way, grains of rice. To get one million grains of rice you need 25 litres (6.5 gallons) of rice. So multiply that by 1,000 to get one billion. So you need 25,000 litres of rice (6,500 gallons).
So let's look at those numbers again. We use somewhere between 500 billion and one trillion plastic bags every year. Based on 500 billion, if we joined them end on end they would circumnavigate the world a whopping 3.1 million times. Imagine laying them out flat, we could wrap our world hundreds of thousands of times.
So now you understand the scale of the issue, let's go a step further. This is just plastic shopping bags. Add to this figure the plastic used to wrap bread, toilet paper and what about the plastic that pretty much every item in the world is packaged in. It is a massive number that the plastic manufacturers love but our environment hates.
Plastics are like diamonds.........they last forever!!!!!
This is my favourite saying as it is so true. Plastic will never go away. It does not break down, it breaks up.....into millions of smaller pieces that break up further through a process called photo degradation. In samples taken from the North Pacific Garbage Patch 10 years ago it was shown that pieces of plastic the size of plankton were floating around imitating this micro-organism.
In fact there was a ratio of six pieces of plastic to every plankton. Studies last year showed an increase to 45:1 and this is before the garbage from the Japanese Tsunami in March 2011 makes it to this region, believed to be another 1.5 million tonnes of trash floating around the north pacific.
The standard single use plastic bag will be around for over 1,000 years before it begins to photo-degrade. So with 500 billion of them added to our world every year, we are creating a problem we cannot clean up. That's probably why there is enough rubbish in the North Pacific to cover the entire country of Australia 3m (10ft) deep. 50% of plastic bags that make it to the ocean come from landfill so putting them in the bin is not a solution.
When you add to these statistics the fact that 100,000+ marine creatures and one million sea birds die because of plastic suffocation or entanglement every year, it is time for all of us to change our habits and as ocean users, we should be leading the way.
You all know the alternatives for shopping bags. It's only because we are lazy that we don't use them as often as we should. Just remember to put them back in your car when you've unpacked the shopping so they are there when you want them next. If you do need to use plastic bags for rubbish bins etc. use compostable bags that by law have to decompose within a short period of time, usually six months maximum pending your country.
If we don't make changes now, we'll be sailing on oceans of plastic before we know it, clogging our engine intakes and contaminating the fish we all love to eat, or worse, slowing us down when we race.
Say no to plastic bags.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

We can assume that the data-driven Marissa Mayer studied the data and algorithmed the hell out of everything in sight — before deciding that Yahoo employees would henceforth cease telecommuting and report to the office. She could, however, have merely ordered them all to gaze at Pablo Picasso's stunning painting of five nude prostitutes — the celebrated "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon." It dates from 1907 and resulted from Picasso's collaboration and competition with Georges Braque and other Parisian painters at the time. Paris, in today's jargon, was one vast water cooler.
In 1989, the Museum of Modern Art in New York mounted an exhibition titled "Picasso and Braque: Pioneering Cubism" in which even the untutored eye could see the effect one artist had on the other. Picasso and Braque were showing their work to each other and then, in my imagination at least, rushing to their respective easels to push their art even further.
I romanticize what happened, but the basic notion that innovation comes out of collaboration or, if you will, competition ought to be beyond dispute. It is why it is not the suburbs but cities, with their densities and collections of talented people, where culture is created. Cities are our cultural hothouses — or at least they used to be. (What will happen to cafe culture when everyone is staring into a laptop instead of carrying on about Kierkegaard is something to worry about.)
Science, too, needs the friction of people intellectually rubbing up against each other. Silicon Valley, Silicon Alley, Route 128 and such are the product of talent that was assembled in one area (often by a university — Stanford, MIT) and the talented simply talking to one another. It works.
The production of innovation — the spark that produces yet another spark — is what Mayer absolutely needs at Yahoo. She is Yahoo's fifth CEO in a bit more than five years; the company's in trouble. It needs ideas (also a new name), and when she tried to figure out how to fix things, she scanned the virtual private network (VPN) logs to see how often her out-of-office employees were checking in. Not enough, she concluded. But even if the traffic had been greater, that still would not have done much for innovation. This comes from the strange thing that happens at the water cooler.
Mayer's order produced a veritable firestorm of controversy. Environmentalists quickly weighed in, brandishing that toxic phrase "carbon footprint." But the most heated rhetoric came from Mayer's gender mates, women — especially those who go by that most hallowed of all words, mom. Mayer was adjudged an enemy of all moms because she was, it was solemnly alleged, forcing women to choose between the mental and physical health of their children and their careers. In some cases, she was.
Yet probably the most serious charge was hypocrisy. Mayer is a new mom herself, but rather than stay home and telecommute, she had a nursery installed next to her office. Maybe in years to come, she'll make it a basketball court.
In 1925, AT&T created Bell Labs. It was originally located in Manhattan but moved to an innovative building in Murray Hill, N.J. The building was the idea of Mervin Kelly, who went from researcher to president of Bell Labs. He believed in "critical mass" — of assembling different sorts of scientists and encouraging them to mingle. The place was designed so that its workers were always bumping into one another. The hallways were purposely long to compel as many encounters as possible so scientists in varied disciplines — physicists, metallurgists, electrical engineers, etc. — could learn from one another.
Jon Gertner called his book about Bell Labs "The Idea Factory," and indeed it was. Among other things, it produced the transistor, the laser, the cellular phone system and much, much more. To an astounding degree, it helped create contemporary American life. The lesson was not lost on Apple or Google, companies that value innovation and, incidentally, try to ensure that their employees will talk face to face. Google even seeks the optimum cafeteria line, not too long and not too short, so workers will talk and not leave.
I am writing this column from home. It is where I work — totally alone. I appreciate the convenience and creature comforts of telecommuting. (I am now listening to Bach.) But I dearly miss the newsroom, a community of experts and eccentrics where the chance remark could spark a retort, an observation, an idea — a column! Even in my own head, I am no Picasso. But neither in reality was Picasso without Braque.

Take Better Photos While Traveling
Kristen is a former copywriter for Crutchfield. She wrote copy for both the web and catalog, covering a variety of home A/V products that included speakers, camcorders, and Blu-ray players. She also wrote a number articles and blog posts for the Crutchfield Know Zone.
More from Kristen Schaub
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
My husband and I recently returned from our honeymoon cruise in the Mediterranean. While out on our shore excursions, we were whisked from one tourist site to the next, and I couldn't help but notice the interesting ways that people use their cameras abroad. Whether they had a digital SLR camera, or a point-and-shoot, I saw many tourists making the same mistakes over and over. And so here are some tips that I've come up with based on my observations.
1. Don't snap photos through the tour bus window with the flash on.
I saw this again and again. The tour guide says, "And you'll see blah-blah on your right," and half the people on the bus stand up, move to the windows on the right, and snap photos of the landmark mentioned with their cameras' flashes on. I can only imagine how their photos turned out.
It's true, some of the most interesting things we saw were through our bus windows while driving through the city. But however tempting it may be, try not to take photos on the bus. Not only is the lighting inside of the tour bus less than ideal, you're also taking photos through a dirty pane of glass of an object probably far away, and mostly likely over another passenger's head — the photo simply will not look good. And if the flash is on? Well then, your photo will most likely be a giant glare. Wait until you're off the bus to snap your photos and you'll come home with more quality snapshots.
2. Try to take your shots from different angles.
If you're at a tourist site, chances are you're taking a picture of a structure that's been photographed millions of times at the exact same head-on angle. Try getting up close to the building and take a shot from the side (if you can). You're much more likely to remember your awe at the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza if you angle your shot up the side from its base, rather than snapping the same old shot from across the desert.
This is also a great tip to keep in mind if the building under question is under construction or if it's surrounded by tourists. You'll get a cleaner picture without the scaffolding and without other people's heads if you try taking a shot from the corner of the building or up close.
3. Get in front of the sun (instead of facing it).
If you've been blessed with sunny weather on your trip, then you may have to worry about the angle of the sun when you snap your photos. If the sun is in front of you, in other words, behind the building you're shooting, then you may end up with a black outline without any detail. Try moving around the structure, and putting yourself between it and the sun, to get a better shot.
4. Wait for other tourists to pass before you take your shot...
The last thing you want is to see someone else's shadow in your perfectly framed shot of the steps leading up to the Acropolis. It may be difficult, but wait for everyone to move out of the frame before you snap your photo. You'll appreciate it when you look back at your pictures of that temple from the 3rd century B.C. and don't see any indications of modern society.
5. ...but don't block traffic.
I'll admit it. I'm usually guilty of stopping in the middle of a walkway because I'm too busy looking at the monuments around me and not paying attention to the flow of traffic. But it can be really annoying when others stop abruptly in front of you. So as a common courtesy, move to the side if you want to stop to get a better shot, and wait for groups of people to pass. The others walking around you will really appreciate it.
6. Have fun!
Remember: chances are you can find a superb picture of the monument you're visiting in a guidebook or postcard, so don't stress if you "miss the perfect shot." And taking photos while on vacation shouldn't be snap-fest to "prove to people that you were there." Try getting a picture of some uncommon sights, too, like stray dogs unbothered by tourists, some locals fishing next to a lighthouse, or colorful fishing boats lined up in a harbor. And above all, relax, have fun, and take in the sights around you with your own eyes first.


text: Riccio was trained in the workshop of B. Bartolomeo Bellano and was active principally as a bronze sculptor. He executed the great paschal candlestick and two bronze reliefs for S. Antonio at Padua (1507–16) and the Girolamo della Torre monument in S. Fermo at Verona (1516–21). The bronze reliefs from the latter are now in the Louvre, Paris. The style and imagery of both works are strongly influenced by Paduan Humanism. Riccio was also a prolific maker of bronze statuettes. For the most part his subjects were drawn from classical mythology. Unlike the statuettes of his contemporary Antico at Mantua, Riccio's are romantic in treatment, with marked individuality and expressive character. Outstanding examples are the "Boy Boy Milking a Goat" Goat in the Bargello, Florence, the "Warrior Warrior on Horseback" Horseback in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and the "Arion" Arion in the Louvre.

Susie VanArsdalen: Osteoporosis Center
Susie VanArsdalen has always been healthy and active. At the age of 40, she was surprised to learn that she had the beginnings of osteoporosis, a condition that weakens the bones and makes them more prone to fracture.
"I increased my calcium intake, tried to keep up an exercise routine and continued to have my bone density checked every few years," Susie said, "but that wasn't enough to stop the bone loss."
Last year, when Susie turned 47, her family doctor referred her to the new Henry Ford Allegiance Osteoporosis Center, located across from the hospital. "From the moment I walked in, everyone was so welcoming to me. It's a busy place, but they treated me like I was their first and only patient," she recalled.
The nurse practitioner, Leslie Thompson, gave Susie a DXA scan—a short and painless test that records bone density, or lack of it. And, after an evaluation from an endocrinologist, Dr. Qutob, Susie learned that she now has osteoporosis.
"It really scared me to think I could be prone to bone fractures at such a young age," Susie said. "But, both Leslie and Dr. Qutob put me at ease by taking the time to explain the condition and how we could start reversing the damage.
Susie now does a daily self-injection to rebuild bone strength. "The needle is so thin that I can't even see it without my glasses, so it doesn't hurt at all," she said. "It's worth it to know I am actually doing something to improve my health."
Dr. Qutob and Leslie encouraged Susie to continue exercising regularly, because that also increases bone density and strength. So she makes sure to run on a treadmill or use the elliptical machine about four times a week. "I feel confident that the combination of medication and exercise will keep my bones strong and healthy for the rest of my life," she said.

SMWC Student Motivates Fans During NBA Lockout
December 5th, 2011 | SMWC
Photos courtesy of the Indiana Pacers
When Jenna Schulz is at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, she is a typical student. When she's out with the Pacemates, she's a star.
The Pacemates, the official dance team of the Indiana Pacers, are known for taking to the floor at Conseco Fieldhouse and giving Pacers fans something to cheer about while their favorite players are off the court. During the National Basketball Association (NBA) lockout, the Pacemates have instead taken their show on the road, interacting with fans outside of the stadium and trying to keep the connection between the Pacers and the community alive.
"We want to keep the fans motivated until the men start playing again," Schulz, sophomore, said. Besides community appearances, the Pacemates have been doing radio spots and keeping their website up-to-date with new pictures. "We recently had a Halloween contest, where you voted for your favorite Pacemate," Schulz said. "I was a cowgirl."
Schulz, who hails from Terre Haute, IN, is a rookie to the Pacemates but has been dancing for 12 years. "I've been dancing since kindergarten," Schulz said. "I did dance team all through middle school, and in high school it really became a passion." Throughout the years, Schulz had dreamed of dancing for the NBA and the Pacers, so when the opportunity to tryout presented itself, she couldn't say no. "Me still being so young, I thought, why don't I go try and if I don't make it, I still have a lot ofyears," she said.
After a grueling, weeklong tryout process, which included quickly learning new choreography and taking part in an impromptu photo-shoot, around 200 dancers were narrowed down to the 13 who would make up the official dance squad. "I was happy I was one of the first names to be called because I couldn't have taken the suspense," Schulz said. "It's a really big dream. I'm happy I made it."
Both as a marketing student at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College and as a Pacemate, Schulz recognizes the importance of hard work. "You have to put your all into it," Schulz said. "If you slack, it's just going to mess up everything.You have to be determined and never give up."
Another important aspect of being both a dancer and a college student is preparation. "A lot of the girls have other jobs and a lot of them are commuters like me," Schulz said. "We learn routines and then it's your job, once you're not at practice, to study those routines. It's the same as with your classes. You have to do your homework, you have to study for your exams, so that in your class time, you can put your best foot forward."
Because this is her first year as a Pacemate, the NBA lockout has so far prevented Schulz from fulfilling her dream of dancing during an NBA game. "I love doing the appearances and I love going round the community, but it's teasing me," Schulz said. "I'm like right there, so I just want to be on the floor dancing, but...." She sighs and smiles. "Soon enough, soon enough." In the meantime, Schulz is enjoying getting to know the fans. "It's not just strictly dance," Schulz said. "I get to represent something and I enjoy that too, that and being around people."
One of Schulz's favorite community appearances was a couple of weeks ago, when the Pacemates visited a zoo. "These little kids would run up to you and say 'Oh, I see you at the games!' And they get so excited when you can sign their autograph and take a picture with them," Schulz said. "My favorites are the little boys that say they want their picture taken and then when it's time to take it, they turn bright red and they won't even look at you."
Mostly, what Schulz enjoys about the Pacers' community of fans is their enthusiasm. "The way things go anymore, like with the economy, people are always down on things. And it's good to see people get excited about something as simple as a basketball game or a team," Schulz said. She may be eager to take to center court, but for now, she is content to look forward to all that is to come. "It just shows how important one team can be to people," Schulz said.

Trove is a fantastic resource of course, but it's still rather inward focused. While it aggregates info from many sources, it generally only provides this aggregated info as html pages. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the only publicly available machine-readable interfaces at the moment are the SRU & OpenSearch interfaces for People Australia. As a result, there's little opportunity for re-using, mashing-up, or extending the data.
It'd be great to provide a space where the possibilities for hacking and extending Trove are discussed. Topics might include APIs, RDF/RDFa, Linked Data, machine tags, and until we get something better we could also share screen-scraping recipes.
I know that there are discussions about these sorts of things going on within the NLA, but I also know that such developments are often demand driven. There's obviously a chicken/egg situation here because people aren't likely to demand things like RDF until they have an understanding of what it might make possible.
So how about it? A forum section on hacking Trove? Let's start a public discussion on the possibilities...

This is for the people who use BT4 R2 as their main OS (and also everybody else who's interested of course) and want to update to Thunderbird 3.1.
I found that the version BT comes with is rather old, but usable.
The n00b that I am, I couldn't figure out how to properly install the latest Thunderbird when downloaded from the mozilla website. The download contained no install files and I couldn't find a guide either (from the mozilla website I mean) and I didn't want to manually move the files to a directory to get it working.
I found a .deb file of Thunderbird 3.1 which I was able to install and now I can use perfectly.
Download Thunderbird 3.1 .deb file
I usually use gdebi to install .deb files. (I did not have any version of Thunderbird installed when I did this).
Be sure to backup you previous Thunderbird files.
When installed you can run "thunderbird" from the konsole or from the menu.
PS: I couldn't find the latest version (3.1.9) in a .deb file but if someone has a link, post a comment.

Wow, that was fast. From twitter...
Jay Bruce @JayABruce #Embarrassing
Wow, that was fast. From twitter...
Jay Bruce @JayABruce #Embarrassing
A lot of fails, but Bruce's was the worst, IMO. He had barely stepped on the track and he played like he was at the wall. He was barely moving, so how could he have been afraid of the wall there -- even if it was there? And in a situation where if he misses it, the team loses... let's hope he learns from this, because, yes, he should be embarrassed.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
Reds have had too many mishaps in the ninth inning lately. Coaching mishaps, bullpen mishaps, other mishaps.
Every team has them. But to be a championship team the Reds have to play more solid baseball all around in potentially winning games.
Good team, but maybe not ready for the big stage. If the Reds add another starting or platoon player, he should be an experienced guy who will help solidify things.
Put me down for scoring more runs. They are 8th in the league in Runs scored. In their park, that's horrid. Score more runs and every little mistake won't mean the difference in winning and losing. They obviously need to work to eliminate mistakes, but they will happen like they do with all teams. Need a bigger margin for error IMO. Bases Loaded and no outs and nobody scores. On a productive roster, Berry's decision should have been a moot point and if so, playing it safe and going for multiple runs made sense.
"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH
Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
If Ludwick's run were to tie, Berry might have done well to hold him. But the game was already tied. On the road, you have to play aggressive. Don't put yourself in a position to lose.
Bad execution at the end of a winnable game. This one-run loss can't be attributed to bad luck.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
Dusty's perspective on the Ludwick play:
–Reds manager manager Dusty Baker thought Ryan Ludwick should have scored from second in the ninth on Miguel Cairo's hit. But he absolved third base coach Mark Berry. "A lot of that depends on the base-runner," Baker said. "The coaches get all the blame. But most of the time you don't need a coach. We thought it was in there all the way. Maybe (Ludwick) didn't."
Watching the replay, Ludwick should have scored easily but you can't see what kind of jump he got. That being said, Bruce's play was a debacle.
Did anyone see a replay the showed Ludwick as he reached third? Key questions for me: did he get a good jump, was running hard when he reached it, and did Berry hold him up the whole way? Dusty implied that Ludwick was partly to blame, just wondered if their was proof of that.
Guess I prefer not to analyze this one on such a granular level. Check that, I prefer not to think about this one any further.
"This isnt stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner

# What's New:
- This latest refresh adds additional languages as well as CUDA 3.0 and a few OpenCL / OpenGL / DirectX 11 fixes reported with the original version.
* It would have hardly been possible in the last few months to have not noticed the release of Windows 7. SiSoftware has been developing against both the betas and release candidate of Windows 7 to ensure compatibility even before the launch of Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2.
Over the last year, we have seen a huge growth in server consolidation and virtualisation: SiSoftware has responded to this by including support for not just one but five (5) different virtualisation technologies. These are:
* Windows Virtual PC 7 (Windows XP Mode)
* Microsoft Virtual Server 2005/R2
* Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008/R2
* VMware Server
* VMware WorkStation/Player
* Since last year much new hardware has been released and the SiSoftware team continue to work on including support for new hardware as well as software in the latest version. There are always too many items, but to name a few:
* ATI GPUs: Radeon HD 5800, 5700 series
* AMD CPUs: Athlon Neo, Six (6)/Eight (8)/Twelve (12)-Core Opteron 4100, 6100 server
* Intel CPUs: Core i5/i7 desktop/mobile, Xeon Nehalem-EX server
* nVidia GPUs: GT215, GT216, GT218 series
* VIA CPUs: Nano 3000 series
* Hardware monitoring: Analog Devices (ADT), SMSC, Winbond/Nuovoton
Those running Windows 7 and Windows Vista will notice improved graphics and GPGPU support, including DirectX 11 Compute Shader/DirectCompute, OpenCL (GPU and CPU), as well as OpenGL graphics. In addition, Windows 7 users will also benefit from sensor information (GPS, temperature, brightness, voltage and fan), (multi)-touch, native support for SSD drives and SideShow devices.
With each release, we continue to add support and compatibility for the latest hardware, architectures and operating systems, and this is no exception. SiSoftware continues to work with hardware vendors to ensure the best support for new emerging hardware.
* Sandra 2010 has been updated to use the new Windows 7 Windows User Experience (UX) guidelines, including Aero, for a richer, cleaner look and feel. However, all users will benefit from the improved usability and navigation in this version.
* Responding to customers' needs to have a rapid portable version of Sandra (that does not need installing), we have expanded our offerings for Sandra Engineer Portable; it is now available on a branded USB (flash) drive, offering all the features of the previous CD based product, plus writable storage to save your valuable reports: you only need carry one thing in your pocket.
As well as adding support for virtualisation, the other change we have all noticed is the blurring between the home and workplace; as a result we have added three (3) new lifestyle modules, making seven (7) new modules in total:
# New modules (7)
* Virtual Computers: detailed information about the guest VMs running on your host (Virtual PC 7, Virtual Server 2005, Hyper-V Server, VMware Server, VMware WorkStation/Player)
* Environment Sensors: detailed information about the GPS, RFID, accelerator, temperature, etc. sensors
* Pen and Touch: detailed information about the (multi)-touch and pen interfaces.
* Information Devices: detailed information about the SideShow devices.
* Scanners and Cameras: detailed information about the imaging devices.
* Media Players: detailed information about the video (e.g. MP4) and audtio (e.g. MP3) players.
* Portable devices: detailed information about the PDA, Smartphone or other portable devices.
# Updated Modules (6)
* GPGPU Processing: Support for OpenCL (ATI, nVidia) for both GPUs and CPUs, DirectX 11 Compute Shader/DirectCompute.
* GPGPU Bandwidth: Support for OpenCL (ATI, nVidia) for both GPUs and CPUs, DirectX 11 Compute Shader/DirectCompute.
* Video Rendering: Support for DirectX 11/SM5.0 and OpenGL 2.0 and later.
* Video Memory: Support for DirectX 11/SM5.0 and OpenGL 2.0 and later.
* CPU Multi-Media Performance: Support for Intel AVX instruction set.
* Cryptographic Performance: Support for Intel AES instruction set.

As the title suggests, who deserves the next shot in the Lightweight division?

I'd like to see him fight Saul.
On a winning run, unbeaten with the promotion and coming off the win over Maguire.
However, you have the argument that Ray and Warburton are 1-1...
Duffy could be in with a shout if he beats a solid opponent in his return, lots of cool matches for him.
Taking this shit, one day at a time.
there are a few that could be next: Saul, Damir, Duffy, Winner?
I'd like to see a no.1 contenders fight - even better, if Duffy made his return against Saul then that could be a contenders fight. Andre Winner is above in the UK rankings so maybe him? and Damir Hadzovic has won a couple on CW's against good opponents. Like you say aswell there is the issue of 1-1 between them but I cant see that happening for a while.

Duffy vs Rogers.. That would be a great fight!
Taking this shit, one day at a time.
Stevie and Ian Dean discuss it on the latest Your MMA podcast:
Mick Sinclair, I know he's coming off a loss but get him in against one of the other guys and winner fights Ray, I just think it'd be a cracker of a fight!!!!
Don't Take Life Too Serious Or You'll Die Stressed!!!
What's the concensous on Ray? Do you see him as a guy who will defend the title a few times and get the ufc call or is he a transitional champion?
Fuck no-gi
As others have said, Duffy, Rogers, Sinclair would all be awesome.
War Ray!
Loads of great matchups out there. Duffy, Rogers, Winner and a rubber match with Warbueton.
I know they're in different promotions but one fight i'd love to see one day is Ray vs. Barnaoui.

I say give him a shot in the UFC. Great fighter

Photo Gallery: 66ers Dance Team auditions
SAN BERNARDINO - The sounds of pop music blared from a boombox inside the Inland Empire 66ers clubhouse on Saturday morning.
Aspiring dancers lined up and took turns demonstrating their twirling and high-kicking abilities before getting that chance to show that one signature move that may be enough to earn one's spot on the dance crew.
Their hopes were set on a spot on the 66ers' minor league baseball team's dance squad.
"I love the dance, it's really energetic, and I feel like the Dance Team at the games to really pump up the crowd and get into it," said nursing student Meredith Oliver, 22, of Moreno Valley during a break from the auditioning process.
Oliver said she is a nursing student at UC Riverside and danced with the team previously in 2010. She was among roughly 20 women competing for seven to 10 open spots on the Inland Empire 66ers' dance squad.
Dancers earning a place on the team must make a year-long commitment to represent the 66ers at 70 home games and as many as 50 community events, said Byron Marquez, director of community relations for the 66ers.
The dance team also performs for the Ontario Reign minor league hockey team.
As the day's auditions were about to start, Marquez's tone was businesslike when he advised the dancers that "if you can't make this commitment, I don't want you on this team."
"They presented themselves really well as to how serious they are," said dancer Amanda Gojuangco, a 21-year-old UC Riverside student planning a career in public relations.
"I'm just trying my best. I'm so nervous right now," she added.
Team dancer Maria B. led the aspiring dancers through the kinds of routines they would perform if they win a job, offering advice and encouragement along the way:
"I want to see big sexy walks."
"Use that booty."
"Whip that hair."
The winning dancers can expect to put in a lot of time, but also have a lot of fun, said current team dancer Melanie Zecca, another UC Riverside student.
"I tell them, `Be ready for a life-changing experience," Zecca said. "That's why some of them stay on the team for years."

Another movie slated for Cleveland
(Cleveland) - John Travolta is headlining a list of actors who will soon hit Cleveland to begin filming the movie 'Criminal Activities'.
Crews have already arrived in Cleveland to begin scouting locations for the movie, filming of which is expected to get underway in the late spring.
Other cast members include Michael Pitt, Jackie Earle Haley, Dan Stevens and Rebecca Da Costa.
Ivan Schwartz with the 'Greater Cleveland Film Commission' says Cleveland has become a hotbed for movie makers thanks, in part, to the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Incentive.
Schwartz says more than forty movies have been filmed in and around Cleveland in recent years.

I came looking for a job and I found a friend and serendipity.
Serendipity is something every journalist needs.
The tough, but garrulous journalism scholar John Bremner of the University of Kansas told journalists in his seminars they needed to find serendipity.
Serendipity occurs when you are on your way to one thing and you discover another thing. It brings magic and the joy of the unexpected.
You could have canned and sold serendipity.
You lived it very day.
You shared it every day.

Texas ports play a critical role in the state's transportation system and are a key part of the state's economy.
The use of Texas waterways is forecast to continue to increase — fueled by the expansion of the Panama Canal, the surge in the state's population and more worldwide waterborne trade.
To help Texas ports remain competitive and prepare for growth, the Maritime Division serves as a resource for state ports and works to address statewide maritime needs. The division also participates in the Texas Freight Advisory Committee to coordinate the planning efforts of freight movement through ports and waterways.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rock 'n' roll sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart have been making music together for more than 30 years, but they have rarely shared the vocal spotlight.
Ann did most of the singing, while guitarist Nancy occasionally contributed backing vocals. The formula served them well, producing such classic-rock chestnuts as "Barracuda" and "Crazy on You."
But things will be a little different for the group's next album, on which they are currently working. Nancy will take a greater share of the vocal duties as the sisters experiment more with harmonies.
"It's just a way of reinventing, and having more fun, and taking some of the pressure off of Ann as a singer," her younger sister said in a recent interview with Reuters.
"As you probably can imagine, her voice is really a gift from above. It's an instrument like few others. To couch a vocal style together more would be something fresh and new and more fun. Harmony singing is my favorite thing to do in music!"
Wilson described her vocal style as "more limited," although she has sung lead on a handful of tunes including the 1985 chart-topping power ballad "These Dreams." The sisters also notably traded off each other on their cover of Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore."
"I love singing, and whenever I can sing some more vocal leads I always covet the chance. But it's always got to be the perfect fit for a voice like mine," she said.
The Wilsons are taking their time with the album, but hope it will come out in the summer of 2010. The last Heart album, "Jupiters Darling," was released independently in 2004 after the band ended a lengthy stint at Capitol, and quickly disappeared from rock music.
"There was no clout and there was no real thrust behind it (the record) after we'd worked so hard," Wilson said. "We're just really looking skeptically at all the (label) options right now."
So far, they have recorded about eight songs, and will return to the studio in a few weeks with producer Ben Mink, who is best known as k.d. lang's collaborator.
Wilson described the songs so far as "very personal, very honest, vital ... not always super-serious either. But quite romantic. Leaning toward poetic as hard as we can!"
Perhaps like many other musicians, it's hard for the Wilsons to escape the nagging feeling that all the hard work in the studio might be for naught given that few people seem to buy albums anymore. In moments of self-doubt, Wilson has to remind herself of the therapeutic benefits of music.
"I've been through a lot of heartache in my day, and you turn to music to prop yourself up. It's a healing thing, and it's a powerful, powerful, beautiful thing. I like my job. I'll work my butt off to do something well."
To that end, the Wilsons and their four-person band maintain a vigorous touring schedule. A co-headlining tour with Journey is scheduled to begin in July.

Keys to the Game
Offensive Line Play
---Once again, the Broncos offensive line will be tested. The Falcons have a solid set of pass rushing ends in Jon Abraham and Ray Edwards, and their defensive tackles play to get up field and after the quarterback. The Falcons offensive line will face an equally difficult task in defending a stud tandem in Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil. Derek Wolfe has shown he's no slouch as a pass rusher either.
Defending the Tight End
---In order to have a chance the Broncos D will have to do a better job handling the tight end. This has been a weakness since last season, and the Steelers used Heath Miller effectively against us last year. Champ and Tracy Porter will have their hands full on the outside defending the Falcons duo of Roddy White and Julio Jones. The safeties and linebackers will be tasked with keeping Tony Gonzalez in check.
The Home Field Advantage
---The Falcons have been one of the toughest teams to beat at home over the past few years, and if the Broncos want to emerge 2-0 to start the season they'll need to jump out early and quiet what is sure to be a raucus Georgia Dome crowd.

Can't wait to see Porter after last week. With Julio and White both Champ and him will have their hands full. I might be in the minority after last week but I loved our pass rush. We just couldn't get Big Ben wrapped up. Him being a beast + week 1 I imagine this game will be different in that area. I can see us knocking Ryan down quite abit.
Denver looked real good after week 1. If Denver can come out and steal another win it'll go along way.
Really excited for this game. Great test for the defense and if the defense blunders abit or Atlanta's O just rains supreme than we'll get a really good look at our offense. Wasn't anything to really look into from last week, Denver just got it done on that end whenever they got the chance.

Grimes is out for the season for them so that's a huge loss for them. He's a very good CB.
I look for a 28-24 final score with the Broncos winning. I think our defense will look very good this week with the pass rush getting there early and often. Big difference from playing Ben to Matt Ryan.

Atlanta is a tough place to play and an extremely tough place to win.
Matt Ryan played well against the Chiefs, not great, but well.
Peyton Manning played in a dome his entire career....hmmm edge Denver
Turner did not play a big role in the opener, but he is a stud.
McGhee had a solid day against a good run defense. Edge - even
TE's -
Gonzalez - played well against his former team, but he is not the player Denver played against in his prime.
Tamme/Dressen - will be utilized a ton more because of Manning - Manning makes these two better than they are - Edge Denver
Jones and White = explosive
Decker and Thomas = up and coming - Edge Atlanta
Atlanta's line played well against K.C. - different match-up this week.
Denver's line played well against a depleted Pitt defense - again with Manning this helps them out tremendously. Edge - Denver
Atlanta's front again put pressure on Cassel in the 2nd half which was the difference in the game.
Denver has Dumervil (who had some pressures last week), Miller, and Wolfe and is considerable better this year than last year. Edge - Atlanta
LB's and CB's -
Atlanta is solid, not spectacular
Denver has great corners, so-so LB's and S's - Edge - Push
Atlanta is playing at home with the crowd and a new offense. Denver has Peyton Manning and Porter. Denver hits a 57 yard field goal to win the game 24 to 23.

peyton picked apart the steelers defense in a week 1 game which i would think is harder to prepare for, because you are going off of preseason and what you think the team might do. now there is a week 1 game tape to watch which peyton will be able to find some weaknesses in that defense. atlanta wont be able to throw the ball at will because denver has better cb's than the chefs, so id look for atlanta to run the ball more. better test for denvers run d this week.

Julio Jones is no joke. He will soon be regarded as a top 3 WR IMO. The guy is a freak of nature... The Falcon's offense is scary good when they start rolling. With Ryan, Turner, White, Jones, and Gonzalez our defense is going to have it's hands full.
On the flip side this will be the Falcons first game without Brent Grimes. Will be interesting to see how they adjust to that. He was one of the best (if not the best) player on that entire defense.
Right now i'm going to guess -
Falcons - 24
Broncos - 27

I think these two teams are very evenly match. Both have dynamic offenses and good defenses. With these two Qb's, I expect a shoot out. WHen it comes to having a shootout, there is no QB I'd rather have than Peyton Manning. I'm going Broncos 34-31

I watched the 1st half of the Falcons game against the Chiefs in all-22/endzone camera mode, and I came away impressed. Here are some of my keys to the game :-
* Picking on Dunta Robinson. The guy is awful in the slot. With Grimes going down, will he be moved outside? I don't care if it is Brandon Stokley lined up against him, we need to get at him. Robinson has no instincts, poor footwork (fell twice in man coverage) and he can't tackle either.
* I really liked what I saw from Matt Ryan, but he gets happy feet at times in the pocket. He left the pocket at least 2/3 times prematurely against the Chiefs (without Tamba Hali), so we need to collapse the pocket often to test him early and often.
* With Chris Harris potentially out/hobbled, who will man the slot? Tony Carter came in for Chris Harris for one play, but I can't remember if he played the slot, but I know that Carter didn't play ANY Nickel snaps in the preseason. Would we dare move Champ to the slot in 3 WR packages and leave Carter on Jones/White? Unlikely, but if Harry Douglas starts whooping Carter in the slot, don't be surprised to see us change it up.
* Pass protection on 3rd and long. The Falcons Defense goes all Rex Ryan on 3rd down. Disguised blitzes, lots of movement on the DL, LB's showing blitz then falling back etc. Luckily we have maybe the best presnap QB in the history of the NFL, but don't be surprised to see him get it wrong a couple of times against this 3rd down Defense.
* Attacking the seams of the Atlanta Defense. When in the Nickel, both Nicholas and Weatherspoon played close to their DL aganist the Chiefs and it cost them in pass Defense. Cassel worked the seams well against the Falcons, including a TD pass to Kevin Boss. Now this may well have been the Falcons gameplanning against the Chiefs very good run attack and poor pass attack, but if it wasn't then I suspect to see Tamme and Dreessen involved a lot.
* Tackling on Defense. Matt Ryan gets the ball out of his hands pretty quick on 1st and 2nd down (a LOT of WR screens) so our guys need to be aggressive on the backend and tackle well to avoid yards after the catch. Julio Jones is a nightmare to bring down, but don't sleep on Harry Douglas and Roddy White. Both can make tacklers miss and we have to be wary of them after the catch.
Should be a fun game.

It's gonna be a close game for sure. Atlanta's WR weapons will be a great barometer for where this team really is so far. I think Chris Harris will play, from what it sounds like, his treatment is more preventative than anything.
I'm worried about Tony Gonzalez this game. Probably even more than I'm worried about their WRs. Heath Miller had a fairly good game, and our LBs struggle in coverage. I envision him getting a lot of short yardage gains to move the sticks.
That being said, our performance against the run was encouraging week one, but remember, it was against Steelers backups, and Dwyer actually played very well against us. I don't think Turner is a huge threat, however. He's an overrated RB in my book. Jacquizz Rodgers will be an interesting matchup though, because they like to use him the way we thought we would be using Hillman.
ATL not having Grimes is big. I agree with lomax about Dunta. He's just not very good. We should better be able to attack in the passing game knowing this, and it just so happens Manning looks on point. I think we'll shore up some of our defensive woes this time.
Thanks, Tzimisce

If the Falcons are going to rely on Tony Gonzalez to beat us, we will win. I could care less about how he performs. This stuff about Heath Miller is massively overhyped. Tony Gonzalez isn't going to break tackles like Heath Miller and since he doesn't have a Quarterback that can extend plays like Roethlisberger does, what's the problem? Woodyard can match up fine to Tony Gonzalez.

Maybe, maybe not. Bolden did play a lot of slot in the pre-season so he could be the choice. Frankly I would prefer Bolden to Tony Carter but we will see.

Tony Gonzalez isn't going to break tackles like Heath Miller and since he doesn't have a Quarterback that can extend plays like Heath does, what's the problem? Woodyard can match up fine to Tony Gonzalez.

Is Carter ahead of Omar Bolden then?
Maybe, maybe not. Bolden did play a lot of slot in the pre-season so he could be the choice. Frankly I would prefer Bolden to Tony Carter but we will see.
The problem is I don't think Tracy porter or champ can handle either of the falcon WRs. I can already see Tracy's pathetic tackling will cost us a lot of yards and point. Julio Jones beasts Tracy porter with 100 YAC and 2 TDs.
