Better For Us: 'Healthy Vending' Is Not An Oxymoron, It's A Sales Stimulator

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by CowboyMcCoy, Apr 29, 2013.
We missed Elam. And we could have picked him right before the Ravens.
I think Wilcox is better. There was a quote by an NFL scout that said he had Wilcox ranked as the #2 Safety in this draft.
The entire NFL network crew loved Wilcox at the Senior Bowl practices and game.
Mike Mayock who is one of the few draft media guys that minimizes the hyperbole, said that Wilcox is an instant starter. That is more impressive considering that Wilcox only played defense for 1 year.
If you watch Wilcox in the Senior Bowl practices, he covers WRs in the drills better than some CBs yet he is a big, thick, 213 lb Safety.
It's over. Your dream did not come true.
Now you have to wait a few years for FA.
Until that time.
Shuddup Already. :
I'd rather have Frederick than Elam.
Not sure about the accuracy but it was reported on the Ticket (Norm) that Elam, the brother of Cowboys former safety Abe Elam, was a bit of a screw up and had character issues. Do not know if this is true but it was reportedly enough for the Cowboys to take him off their board.
Good player, but he will have to be the greatest to make a mark in the NFL at his stature.
No we didn't. Clearly we were not interested.
I don't think the difference between Wilcox and Elam is that great and both are a heck of a lot better then our current safeties (except for possibly Church if he can return from injury). The difference between Frederick and the 3rd round centers is much larger. We made the right call.
Gandalf the Grey has spoken. You are advised to listen.
I was never on the Elam bandwagon. Big hitter, not the best tackler.
who cares?
He is a bob sanders type safety with the bob sanders stature. No thanks too small to play an enforcer safety that will be out of the league in 5 years due to injuries.
Bob Sander is 5-8 200 and Wilcox is 6-0 213. Not hardly the same.
Man. I was actually thinking of you when you we were on the clock at 31, because you are such an Elam fan. No kidding.
You should go to the thread that shows how you would have drafted if you want to stake your claim on Elam. Then you can look back on it later.
He was talking about Elam I think...who is 5 10.
Elam reminds me of Charles Haley.
I assumed he was talking about Elam who is only 5'9" and 207.
I give up!!the "could've should've guys" have worn me out and ground me down....you all are right, the Cowboys draft sucked. Give it an F
We should ve drafted Reid...ok go back to all the posts hating a potential Vaccaro pick and haul them out. "how could we draft a safety ranked as a late first to early second rounder when we had so many needs on the OLine?"
How about Elam with the 18th pick..imagine the horror
Fine lets stick where we were an pick the player that would appease most fans...Shariff Floyd. Hang on here it comes.."whats wrong with him?, how come mock drafts had him going 3rd overall but he falls to 18? How could we spend a first rounder on a run stuffing defensive tackle that cant sack the qb?"
Take Justin Pugh at 18? the Giants who are much better at drafting took him at 19? "so all of the top rated offensive linemen are gone and we have to settle for Pugh..who probably can only play guard...talk about drafting for need instead of BPA!"
tongue in firmly in cheek...the Cowboys could have traded the 18th, thrown in a 6th round pick and some coupons for free coffee at McDonalds, to Jacksonville for the 2nd overall, taken Luke Joekel and people would have complained that we threw in the coupons
cant win
There were only two high pick safeties they liked from what I've seen. Vacarro and Reid. I liked Cyprien myself a whole lot more than Elam. Elam will need to play SS. He's limited as far as coverage.

TriMet considers a new type of bus
Diesel burns cleaner than gas, bur compressed natural gas (CNG) burns cleaner than diesel. That's why TriMet is considering the purchase of buses that burn CNG.
"TriMet has been exploring numerous green transit options and is currently analyzing the costs and benefits of adding CNG buses to the fleet," said TriMet General Manager Neil McFarlane. "The option to buy CNG buses is part of TriMet's ongoing effort to increase our sustainability and improve air quality throughout the region."
The transit agency needs to determine whether change is the right thing to do financially. The CNG buses cost $55,000 more than a diesel bus that costs $420,000. They are also not as efficient as diesel and they get lower mileage. Maintenance is also higher.
Offsetting the negatives is the more stable and reduced cost of CNG. TriMet wants to runs tests to determine whether it's worth the change. Several other transit agencies use CNG and they'll look at that history and how it's worked in those applications.
It's not just a matter of buying new buses, but TriMet would also have to modify a maintenance facility to repair the buses. The Merlo garage in Beaverton is under consideration. CNG must be stored in high pressure tanks, so a new fueling system would have to be added.
The buses would be purchased with federal and state grants and under the current bond program being used to buy new buses.
If TriMet decides to move forward, buses would start being purchased in 2015.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Ohio's governor says his school funding plan is focused on helping students, even as critics charge it is shortchanging many public schools.
Gov. John Kasich (KAY-sik) talked about education and funding during his State of the State speech Tuesday evening in Lima (LEYE'-muh). He says his plan has a "common sense" focus on helping those who don't have the resources to help themselves.
He says no school will get less state funding for now, and described the funding plan as in a period of transition.
But critics -- including some Democratic legislators and school officials -- say it doesn't do enough to help poor districts, and gives more state support to private schools. The head of the Ohio Education Association calls the GOP governor's claim of increased education funding "an empty promise."

Achilles 122 offers a great balance between driving comfort, stability and precision. 122 is a modern tyre designed for todays passenger car, suitable for either frequent city travels or touring highway drives. The tyre's design offers safe handling on wet roads with an improved contact area that reduces hydroplaning. The stiffer tread area promotes high speed stability and dry braking performance.
|Load/Speed Rating
Ordered some new rims and tyres for my Ford Courier last week. John went above and beyond to get a great price and also the right style, size and fitment for my fussy requirements. The wheels turned up fitted and balanced and looked a million bucks. I couldn't of asked for a smoother transaction and a better guy to deal with. Thanks a million.
Had been looking at wheels for ages wanting to get great look/fitment. Called up Autocraze and spoke to Mo, he was awesome. Knew his products and put my mind at ease about the fitment. So I got my wheels and tyres (for a great price!) and I'm super happy!
AutoCraze were absolute legends to deal with when I was buying my Speedy Outlaws. Delivery to Queensland was unbelievably quick! Had the wheels fitted within a week of first making contact. Highly recommend!
The fellas at Autocraze helped heaps with the new wheels! Ordered them online and they arrived at my door 2 days later!! Awesome work fellas, cheers for all the help! Will definitely shop here again
Found the boys at Autocraze, top of the class, needed some rims for my Mustang and Mo had it all sorted. Their after sales support was fantastic too, highly recommend the guys, they are true car enthusiasts and take their time with your rims and their machinery is world class!
Awesome service, great people to deal with. Very professional and delivery was quicker than expected.. Also the car looks great, couldn't be happier. Thanks guys.
Ordered some rims and tires from these guys. Shipped Friday arrived Monday, great to deal with over the phone and the product you order is everybit as good in person. Already recommended to several friends.
Overall it's an alright tyre considering the price I paid (got a free alignment too!) Have never really had issues with grip in the dry or wet, but I don't push the car when its wet as the roads are terrible here. In terms of feedback, you can feel the tyres take a second to catch up after going over some bumps, apart from it not a lot. They've still got a bit of tread on them at the moment, will see how long they last. But worst thing overall is the noise. I had crappier tyres on the car before, and somehow these are worse for noise than the other tyres put together.
Not had any issues, was advised by Autocraze to replace fronts.
Achilles on back. Just purchased 4 more Achilles tyres so fingers crossed. Will post update after swapping and running all four. Drive sensibly but occasional mischief has not left me worried or concerned. You wouldn't go for a jog with your timbies on.
budget tires. wear is nearly good. these tires not soft rubber. feels hard bumpy (not soft bumpy). soft noise for daily use. definitely buy again!!! because its price and wear for daily use. :D
Purchased these with a 2nd hand car. The previous owner had fitted at 29k in 2013. Two years later I have driven 16,000 miles and swapping them over a year ago, the tread is down to 3mm all round. As a summer tyre snow grip was OK, but wet performance is poor. More concerning is that the casing is starting to develop hairline cracks inside the sipes and grooves. Would not buy these again due to rapid perish and questionable wet grip.
I have just been to have Achilles tyre fitted at Autocraze. Anyway the tyers i already have on my Ford are really beyond my expectation. They have been on for two years and still plenty of wear . Amazing grip in all weathers. I only needed to change one because i had a shock changed on front n/s. and they didnt tighteng the top bolt corectly so tyer tread worn out on inside. But as far as tyres go. Fit Acchilles. Really good
I put a full set on a BMW 330d and was amazed, grip in both dry and wet was superb, obviously they are not the same as the expensive brands but for the price they did everything well. I covered 17000km and they looked hardly worn before I sold the car, wish I had kept them for my next one.

Navigation and Radio problem, not working. Broken! Tried MOST fiber bypass. PICS!!
Here's my problem:
"BMW" is only displayed (PIC#1)on the navigation screen (unless I break the MOST fiber loop-more info later). Wont do anything! No radio, chime, voice control, ect.
I tried that trick to bypass modules (ASK CD player, Voice Controller, CD changer, L7 Amp, Tuner) to exclude them from the MOST bus but not seem to be gaining any ground. I took that factory fiber loop from the glove box to bypass these modules.....
FYI: I did not have to purchase a spare, I just took the loop connector apart and connected the two end together (the fiber ends in the glove PIC #3)-this seemed to do the trick. It seems if ring bus is broke the red LED does flash, when connected red LED stays light. I took the actual fiber optic line out of the connector housing and used it for bypassing.
......1) when I used the 'fiber loop' to bypass any the modules in the trunk and including the ASK or CD changer in the dash (PIC #5), nothing happens. 'BMW' logo will still be displayed on the screen.
2) when i take any of the modules out of the network ring (unplugging ANY of the modules-not 'bypassing' anything) I DO GET the 'accept' prompt on the nav display (PIC#7) and can navigate through some functions but can operate only the climate functions. No Nav(PIC#8) or radio (PIC#9), chime, ect. I can only scroll through.
3) I also tried that trick to go into the MOST diagnostic screen (PIC#10), but nothing comes up under the 'MOST' menu. Again, the only way can control anything on the Nav display is when the MOST fiber ring is broke. If I try to connect the fiber ring back together at that point, it will just freeze on whatever is display I have up.
4) Nav disk DVD does seem to spin and eject fine. Although I have noticed it will still spin when the ignition is off.
5) Dash CD player seems to a spin the CD, but no sound of course.
6) CD changer tries to eject a the cartridge. But it never worked anyway.
7) All the modules seem to be transmitting light via the fiber.
Basically, the 'BMW' logo stays on when everything is connected and I cant do anything.
I got my whole car torn apart and need some advise on what to do next?
Do I need some software to reset the ghost errors after bypassing each module?

Hidden Secrets of Spending
While the debate rages over the size of government, a funny thing has been happening: Quietly, government has been shrinking.
Not dramatically, and not necessarily permanently. But in the ways most people think about government—employees on the public payroll running programs—it's actually in decline.
This reality has been masked by the...

2002 Mazda 626 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2002 Mazda 626 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Premature automatic transmission failure is common. Diagnoses of the fault will be necessary to determine if repair or replacement is the proper repair.
The passages for the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system can become restricted or clogged causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate. The EGR valve will need to be inspected and the passages cleaned.
If the engine cranks but does not start, it may be caused by a tripped inertia switch. Switch the key to "ON" and the fuel pump should be heard running for a second or two. Listen at the gas filler if necessary. If you do not hear the pump the inertia switch should be reset, it will "click" when it is reset.
If the engine cranks but will not start, it may be due a failed distributor. In the diagnosis, it may be discovered that the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) Unit is the cause if ignition spark is restored after disconnecting the Spark Output (SPOUT) Connector.
Misfires under load (acceleration) can be caused by leaky spark plug boots. When a spark plug boot leaks, it allows the spark to arc, or jump, to the cylinder head. If evidence of arcing can be seen on the inside of the spark plug boot, new spark plug wires will be needed.
Vehicles with a V6 engine may develop an engine misfire under load (acceleration). This can be caused by a valve cover gasket leaking oil into a spark plug well, shorting the spark plug to the cylinder head. To repair this concern, the valve cover needs to be resealed and the spark plugs and wires should be replaced.
The intake manifold gasket can fail causing vacuum a leak and/or a rough idle condition. Replacement of the leaking gasket will be necessary to correct this concern.

On July 4, 2011 America will be celebrating 235 years of independence from England. It's a day that has a lot of meaning to patriotic Americans. I love this country and what the founding fathers laid out to keep control of the government. When the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were written, the words and structure of the sentences were taken into serious consideration. America wanted their independence from the heavy hand of government. Looking back, we can see they did a great job in doing so.
So again July 4th is upon us once again for us to remember the huge risk our founding fathers took taken that stance. Many of the men who signed those documents were searched out over the remaining part of their lives for treason. For that reason alone, we should take the day to remember the sacrifices they made for themselves and the rest of the colonies.
Instead, whenever the holiday comes around each year, it seems that many people talk about what a great weekend they're going to have at some event or BBQ. Why is it that too many people don't take the time to think of what our fore fathers have put together, to form the greatest country this era has ever seen. After only 150 years of this country's existence, we became one of the super powers (if not the biggest) of this planet. It's great that we, as Americans, have the freedom to celebrate the fourth of July in whatever capacity we want. In this country, if we want to celebrate by having a BBQ and drinking with friends and family or decide to go to church or even a NASCAR event, we have the freedom to do so.
In so many countries, their citizens don't have the freedom to do the things we take for granted.
This year I will do what I do every year. I will take the time throughout the day to remember Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock and the rest of the fifty six men who signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776

Post subject: First 2013 Mock
Free Agents:
Glenn Dorsey DT
: He shouldnt be that expensive and we give him the opportunity to finally play in a 4-3 defense. I think he could explode in a new defense and is versatile to play DT and DE (in Wolfes role)
Austin Collie WR
: Just because it has been a year dont think we will stop adding Colts WR. Austin Collie is a quality slot who has proven to work well with Peyton. He will replace a retiring Stokley.
The Draft:
1. Kawann Short DT Purdue
Hopefully we are building for right now. Short will be great right now. He is big and athletic (a fox DT). He gets a decent pass rush and is a day 1 starter for us.
Eddie Lacy HB Bama
Probably a 1st round HB if not for the fact that TJ Yeldman plays for Bama and is taking Lacys carries. Lacy is absolutely nasty, and in that Trent Richardson mold. His power, strength, and quickness will compliment Hillman perfectly. I also love Lacy because he will step in and make an impact almost immediately.
Dallas Thomas OG/OT Tennessee
If we learned anything about are OL this season it is that they are capable of being injured. Thomas is a real quality lineman who has repped at both LT and LG in his career. Weather he starts or just backs up multiple positions he will be valuable to the Broncos.
Jordan Hill DT Penn St
Denvers new regime seems to draft more than one at a position. Last year it was DE (Jackson/Wolfe) and this year it will be DT. Hill isnt anything too special but he will rotate in and impact the team immediately.
Aaron Mellete WR Elon
Smaller school but everything else is idea. 6,4 220 4.5 40. He also has put up some absurd stats. Last three years including this year: 1,000 + receiving yards and 10 + TDs. This year is only at week 8 just to remind you guys! I like him a lot though.
Ray Ray Armstrong S UM
Ray Ray Armstrong is an idiot. Ray Ray Armstrong is a nasty safety. 6,4 220 and fast this guy is someone we want to throw a late round pick at. He could easily see the field early on our roster. The reason he falls is for those who dont know was kicked out of Miami and then deemed ineligible by Faulker University. Basically no football in 2011. He fits the Laron Landry big hit big S role.
Roy Roundtree WR Michigan
A guy who is hurt by his system, Roy Roundtree could be the steal of the draft. In 2010 he was a guy who had 70 catches 1000 receiving yards and 7 tds. In the last two years combined he isnt close to that. It is a 7th round pick though and Id take a shot on a guy like that any day.

While I agree with most of the mock, I vehemently disagree with the Eddie Lacy pick in the 2nd round. Comparing him to Trent Richardson is outrageous, let alone comparing him to Mark Ingram. Hes a product of the outstanding OL for Alabama. I dont have him getting drafted till the 4th round or so. I respect your opinion in the draft

I'd love Dorsey, but I'd absolutely be against Austin Collie. A waste of money due to health reasons. Concerning the draft: why no MLB? If we didn't address this position of need through the draft and FA, the solution would have to be on our current roster- which it isn't.
The situation is hopeless, but not serious.

Dorsey would be nice. Big no to Collie. He can't stay healthy, it isn't even worth it. He's a walking injury.
I actually like Eddie Lacy, and FWIW, I could see him going early in this draft.

I agree with you about Lacy. He doesn't wow me by any means.

Nice draft but IMO I don't think we need to add 3 DT's during this off season. Maybe you could add a LB instead? What do you think? I doubt if Elway will draft someone like Ray Ray either.

dorsey will not be coming back to the chiefs next season, i think he would be a good player to add to the rotation. im not big on any of the chiefs players but he could have some extra motivation especially in those two games against them. i doubt a rb will be drafted that high two years in a row, but you never know. love the focus on defense though. continue to build an elite defense.

Austin Collie Signing:
Let's remember who we would have him replace. A guy who has had "8 or 10 concussions." Collie has been often injured but he is still really young and because of the injuries is kind of fresh. Brandon Stokley is also a guy who has missed a lot of time due to other injuries. It comes with the position of being a small white guy who catches balls over the middle.
That said Austin Collie has caught 60 passes and 7 touchdowns from Peyton Manning in a season before. If Stokley leaves I kind of expect Peyton to bring in Collie, because he seems to value being on the same page as his slot WR.
Eddie Lacy:
I will admit I haven't seen a lot Lacy, this season but have watched a fair amount of him over the last two years. One I think he is very comparable to Ingram and Richardson. Heck when Ingram and Richardson were on the team he managed to steal 50 carries from them. And when it was just Richardson Lacy managed to steal 100 from him.
Ultimately Lacy fits the power runner role that I think we will eventually lose when Mcgahee leaves. I ultimately would have rathered Lattimore in the 1st round and a DT in the 2nd but Lattimore's injury really shook that up.
No MLB:
This was a kind of missight by me, especially with Joe Mays being put on the IR now. I was just kind of sick of mocks with Manti Te'o as I could see him as a potential top 5 pick and would be shocked if he fell out of the top 10.
I don't know enough about the other ILB prospects but will look into the issue further.
2 free agent MLB to look at: Brian Urlacher. Who I would be against, he is just to old for me.
And Rey Maualuga who I would be 100% for. I think he would absolutely explode on our team in the John Beason role.

Collie's race has nothing to do with it. He's a massive injury liability, Peyton or not. If we sign him, I would be incredibly disappointed, good when healthy, but he's a concussion away from being brain dead at this rate.
Also, Rey Mauluaga is awful. He has underperformed woefully and IMO, will get paid much more than he deserves.

Collie isn't really a slot receiver though, he doesn't run over the middle at all. He is an outside guy that stretches the field. Think of him as Kevin Curtis back when he was explosive for the Rams or Eagles, not Wes Welker. You are totally pigeonholing him due to his race. His ability on the field is completely different.
BTW I am not a fan of Collie solely because of his injury past, plus he is not a fit at slot receiver.

Glenn Dorsey DT
Not a fan. I think that he will end up costing a bit more than we would expect, and I dont think he will be worth it. I would rather double dip at DT in the draft, resign Vickerson and Unrein and call it a day.
Austin Collie WR
Again, not a fan. Combine his concussion history with the fact that he isnt really a slot receiver (More like a poor mans Decker) and I think its clear he doesnt fit. I do like that you addressed WR, as I think it is our 2nd biggest need after DT.
Kawann Short DT
Excellent pick. Short is the guy I want. He is a proven difference maker on the front 4. Not to mention he is well rounded enough to be a 3 down DT.
Eddie Lacy HB
I dont like Lacy in the 2nd. I think he is far closer to Ingram than Richardson, and Ingram blows. I dont really like this RB class, and would way rather wait until the 4th or 5th round to address our 3rd string RB.
Dallas Thomas OG/OT
Another excellent pick. As we have seen this year, you need OL depth. Thomas is a great option to backup the OG and RT positions. I would have no problem taking OL depth as high as the 3rd round this year.
Jordan Hill DT
Not bad, and I like the DT double dip. Not too high on Hill.
Aaron Mellete WR
As I think WR is our 2nd biggest need, I would prefer to take a guy prior to the 5th round. Mellete sounds intriguing, but I like alot of other 2nd-3rd round prospects more.
Ray Ray Armstrong S
I am pretty sure we dont hae a 6th rounder. If we did, I personally would love to role the dice on Ray Ray. Sadly, I dont see our FO touching troubled guys.
Roy Roundtree WR
Nice late round pick. A totally underused guy that could project to a nice 4th/5th receiver kinda like Sammy Straughter.

Overall good job. I don't think we add that many DT's especially since there is a good chance that Wolfe is moved inside next year. When drafted that was the initial plan that he would play DE and Nickel DT in his first year and would move inside more permanently after he had more time to bulk up for the role. I think there's a good chance that's what we'll see but of course the team would need someone to take over at LDE.
I like Kawaan Short if he's available at our pick in the first I think he could have a big impact.
I like the idea of signing Austin Collie. Given his injuries he'll be looking for a 1 year deal on the cheap to prove himself. What better spot to do that than with Denver and Peyton. He'll be a cheap and effective WR if he's healthy. If he's not well the Broncos will just have to go their next option. That said my hope is Stokley doesn't retire and we sign Collie as the 4th WR. That might be ambitious/unrealistic though.
I like Lacy, but not in the 2nd. I think he's more of a 3rd or possibly even 4th round pick. I think he'll be a nice compliment to Hillmann. Lacy is guy that always seems to move forward whether he's push the pile, jumping over it, or moving within traffic. In that regard I think he could be a great option in short yardage situations which has been a real struggle for our run game. Sure he benefits from the Alabama OL and he's certainly no Trent Richardson, but frankly Richardson was the best prospect since Adrian Peterson possibly even better. I think he's more of a mid round pick though cause he's not much a receiver. He's a good pass blocker, but we're not really looking at a multifaceted back. He's a good a runner with power and speed who could develop as a receiver, but he's not accomplished enough to go in the 2nd.
Glenn Dorsey I don't know that he adds anything that we're not already getting from Bannan and Vickerson both of whom will probably cost less in FA. Dorsey is a run stuffer who doesn't put any pressure on the QB. That's exactly what Bannan and Vickerson do. I wouldn't complain if we signed Dorsey instead of one or both of those guys, but I would complain if we paid him more to do essentially the same job at about the same level of production that we're already getting. If the Broncos invest in a DT in FA it should probably be someone a little more of a complete player such as a Randy Starks.
And as already discussed the team needs a MLB unless DJ can step up into that role which is questionable considering the last time they tried him at 4-3 MLB didn't go so well.

Urlacher has really struggled against the run lately. The rest of that defense masks his diminished skills. Maualuga is essentially Joe Mays version 2. Awful in coverage and overrated vs. the run. I'd rather go with DJ or Brooking at MLB next year than Maualuga. That said I think the Broncos will likely look to the draft for their next MLB. Te'o is out of reach, but Ogletree, Skov, Mosely (if he can stay at MLB), and Mauti are guys the Broncos will likely look at early in the draft.
Speaking of Jon Beason I actually think there's a good chance he'll be traded in the offseason. Kuechly looks like he'll take over at MLB moving forward. Beason with his second major injury in a row is no longer worth his salary and will likely have to restructure this offseason. But he prefers to play the middle and with lots of changes likely come in Carolina given their disappointing season I think Beason could be on the outs there. Denver would be the logical landing spot given their need for a MLB and the fact that Fox loves the guy.

Cats' Moore homers twice, plates four
A's farmhand goes 5-for-6, slugs one of three blasts in 12th
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | May 25, 2013 11:19 PM ET
Scott Moore has done a lot of things in his 11-year baseball career, but Saturday night's performance was a first, even for him.
The Athletics farmhand went 5-for-6 with two homers, four RBIs and three runs scored as Triple-A Sacramento outlasted Tucson, 7-4, in 12 innings.
After 1,036 Minor League games and 152 in the big leagues, it was Moore's first five-hit performance and 10th multi-homer game.
"It's crazy that it took 11 or 12 years," he said. "I had no idea that that was the first time I had gotten five hits. I don't usually get five at-bats in a game, but that's the circumstance of playing extra innings. It's not something you do -- go out there saying you're going to get five hits tonight."
The 29-year-old California native singled to center field in the second and sixth innings, then slugged a three-run homer to right-center field in the eighth.
Moore singled again in the 10th before connecting on his sixth longball of the season in the 12th. It followed a solo shot by A's No. 2 prospect Michael Choice and preceded another by Jeremy Barfield as the River Cats went back-to-back-to-back.
"The scouting report said [reliever Miles Mikolas] liked his fastball," Moore said of his first homer. "I was the fourth or fifth batter that inning and he was definitely coming at guys with his fastball and I just told myself to be ready. He threw a pitch over the plate and I was able to hit it.
"[Second homer], same thing. The pitcher was being aggressive. He was throwing a lot of fastballs and I tried to stay relaxed and get a good pitch to hit."
Moore's most recent two-homer game was for Iowa on May 13, 2011 when he went 4-for-5 with five RBIs. The four RBIs fell short of his career high of six, achieved with Norfolk on May 1, 2009.
Moore was 2-for-15 with two RBIs and no extra-base hits in his previous five contests Despite being stuck in a minor slump, he never changed a thing. He took batting practice as normal, kept to his routine and was confident that his solid mechanics would right the ship as long as he trusted the process.
"You can play 50 games and not feel like you're doing well, but one game can get you going and make you feel good," said Moore, adding he hasn't felt this locked in since going 3-for-4 with a homer and a double for the Astros against Pirates starter A.J. Burnett last Sept. 23. "There are a lot of games left in the season, so I can't say I'm not going to have the season I expected because I don't know what is going to happen. Hopefully, this gets me jump-started.
"Obviously, if you are going game to game or at-bat to at-bat with different game plans and approaches, it will be hard to succeed. Throughout the season you tweak things a little bit, but you stick to the same routine and know you will be successful over the course of the whole season. It's easier said than done."
Selected by the Tigers with the eighth overall pick in the 2002 Draft, Moore has spent time in the Majors with the Orioles, Cubs and Astros. He signed with Oakland in November after hitting .259 with nine homers and 26 RBIs last season with Houston.
On Saturday, Moore raised his average to .287 and increased his RBI total to 33, which ranks second on the team behind Choice (38). His six homers are tied for second on the club with Stephen Vogt, two behind Choice.
Choice finished 3-for-5 with two runs scored, while Hiroyuki Nakajima had three hits and scored a run. Dan Otero (2-0) tossed two hitless innings to earn the win and Brian Gordon worked around a hit in the 12th for his first save.
"This is really one of my first years in a long time when I have played with top young prospects in an organization," Moore said. "Last year in Oklahoma City, it was all free agents and we were all around the same age. This is fun to see these guys on their paths to making the big leagues and, hopefully, I can help them out.
"There are probably quite a few. If I start giving out names, I'm bound to forget one. But Green and Choice and [Shane] Peterson are all guys that can hit. If they keep doing what they're doing and keep working hard, who knows what they can do? They can help Oakland, for sure."
Brad Brach (1-1) took the loss after yielding all three homers in the 12th.

Was $74.95 NOW $39.95
These are the lady's lightweight sparkling sandals that help to combat the effects of plantar fasciitis with a stabilizing orthotic footbed that realigns feet to a neutral position. Recipient of the prestigious American Podiatric Medical Association's Seal of Acceptance, the sandals are built with a podiatrist-designed, shock-absorbing EVA midsole that provides arch support while aligning the feet into a natural position for those who over-pronate, when the heel bone angles inward, a determining factor in the development of plantar fasciitis. The durable, flexible polyurethane uppers are decorated in on-trend metallic sparkles, the toe post secures the foot to ensure comfort, and the durable TPR outsoles' non-slip pattern ensures reliable footing. The orthotic footbeds provide optimal comfort and support when the sandals are worn for at least a few hours per day over the course of two weeks. Women's whole sizes.

Comfortable and stylish
By Parbqt
from Charlotte, NC
I really liked these shoes. I have been wearing them for about 2 weeks now and they have not chaffed my foot or shown any sign of wear. I feel they are exactly what was represented in the description. The style is nice. I am 41 and had this vision that I was going to have to wear those old lady ortho shoes, but with these I can still feel stylish and comfortable at the same time! It really is a blessing.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Awesome and comfortable

This product really helps eliminate pain from plantar fasciitis.
Worth the money
By Embyr
from Toledo, OH
Never thought I would pay so much for glorified flip-flops, but it ended up being worth it. It took a day or two of wear for the edge of the straps to stop chafing (I have very wide feet), but it wore itself in quickly and hasn't chafed since. The underside of the strap and the inside of the toe thingy is incredibly comfortable. The beads are sewn on quite well. I'm VERY rough on my shoes, and I'm not worried about these falling apart anytime soon. The arch support really HAS made a difference. I have no been officially diagnosed with any form of plantar faciitis, but I have found that these have greatly reduced my shinsplint issues, and have relieved the pain I get in my hip from long walks. I've worn these for 2-3hrs straight on in-city walks, and they've remained comfortable the entire time. I intend to wear these as constantly as weather allows me to (I draw the line at sandals in the snow... usually), and I'll probably re-order another pair if/when these have reached the end of their life.
Absolutely grrrrreat!
By Long Dark Tresses
from Duchesne, UT
These flips flops fit really snugly but that's the point, isn't it? They feel great and supportive and relieve the faciitis pain while looking so cute!This is a recent purchase for me, so I don't know about the longevity of these shoes yet. Let's hope they last a LONG TIME!
Great value

Good Sandals
By lyndaj60
from Texas
Haven't had sandals long enough to determine durability, but they measure up in all other categories. I have constant trouble with plantar fasciitis and these shoes are proving to keep those symptoms manageable. I will order another pair of this style/brand. I wear 8 1/2 and ordered an 8 as suggested.
Love them !
By Wanda

for 2 years I have walked like my foot hurts, because it does, but these sandals feel wonderful and I can walk without limping !

'It's no coincidence that when Keith Primeau went out of the Flyers' starting lineup on March 26 with a knee injury, Mark Recchi's offensive game sank noticeably. In seven regular-season games plus one Eastern Conference playoff game since he lost his partner, Recchi hasn't scored a goal and has just two assists.'

What won't Fox Nation mock?
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
Not content with mocking President Obama for honoring a school bus driver who spends his evenings feeding the hungry, Fox Nation takes aim at the President's "extended birthday weekend with the boys":
Fox Nation readers reacted predictably. This one was a bit less subtle than Fox Nation's own headline:
I have no idea what this one even means:
And here's another classy entry:
Now, why was Barack Obama spending time with basketball players Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah? Was he just hanging out with his "boys" for an "extended birthday weekend," or is that just a bunch of bunk?
It probably will not surprise you to learn that that's just a bunch of bunk:
President Barack Obama pulled together an informal dream team of current and former basketball superstars Sunday. But only a few people got to see it.
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and other NBA all-stars joined Obama in Washington to entertain wounded troops.
The present-day stars were joined by some retired legends, including Bill Russell and Magic Johnson. College player Maya Moore of the Connecticut Huskies women's team also played.
The game was played for a group of "wounded warriors" - troops injured in action - and participants in the White House's mentoring program. It took place at a gym inside Washington's Fort McNair, a short drive from the White House. The president was inside the gym for about two hours.
So, Barack Obama brings together some professional basketball players to entertain wounded troops, and Fox Nation portrays him as simply having "his boys over" for an "extended birthday weekend." Nice.

When Magic Johnson stood behind a lectern for the first time as co-owner of the Dodgers, among his first announcements was a crowd pleaser: The flat-rate cost of parking at Dodger Stadium was going down from $15 to $10.
There were a couple crowd pleasers embedded in Monday's announcement of the Dodgers' single-ticket pricing plan for 2013. Some were easier to miss than others.
The price of the cheapest ticket dropped slightly, from $10 to $8 for a seat in the top deck high above home plate. At the 16 cheapest games - called "one-star" games under the new plan - prices will drop in other sections of Dodger Stadium compared with a year ago. And unlike the Yankees-Dodgers interleague series in June 2010, single tickets will be available to the general public when the teams play July 30-31 this year.
Last time, only season-ticket and mini-plan holders were able to see the Yankees in person. The series sold out.
Regardless of when they attend and where they sit, fans visiting Dodger Stadium in 2013 will notice one major difference when single-game tickets go on sale Jan. 26.
Gone are the price points that vary based on when tickets are bought.
Pricing tiers will now be based on a one-, two-, three- or four-star scale.
David Siegel, the Dodgers' director of ticket sales, said he thinks the changes will simplify the process for fans.
"The past several years we had day of game pricing, up to $5 more per ticket if you bought on the day of a game compared to the day before," he said. "We did away with all that."
The six four-star games include Opening Day against the San Francisco Giants on April 1, both games against the Yankees and the three-game series against the Boston Red Sox on Aug. 23-25.
There are 26 three-star games, 33 two-star games and 17 one-star games. All the Bobblehead giveaways - figurines include Johnson, Vin Scully, Matt Kemp and Sandy Koufax - are classified as three-star games. No giveaways are currently scheduled for any of the one-star games.
Robert Alvarado, the Angels' director of marketing, said this type of structure is more common among Major League Baseball teams. The Angels, for example, utilize a three-tiered pricing plan.
"Some teams tier it up to five different ways, some two different ways," Alvarado said.
Siegel said that some of the ticket prices at "four-star" games will increase compared with equivalent games last season. Some seats in the lower reserve, loge and field level sections will also be more expensive.
"There are mid- to low-tier areas that we maybe raised a few dollars from last year to this year," Siegel said.
Dynamic pricing, the practice of raising or lowering ticket prices based on demand, will still be in place next season, Siegel said. In theory, any single-game ticket could cost more or less than it does today on the day of the game.
In October, the Dodgers announced they were lowering the season-ticket costs for more than 10,000 seats, while an additional 38,000 seats would remain the same price compared to 2012. Overall, 86 percent of the estimated 56,000 seats in Dodger Stadium are staying the same price or going down for season-ticket holders. Season-ticket prices begin at $5 in the top deck for the second straight year.
Siegel wouldn't disclose the number of 2013 season-ticket packages sold, citing company policy, but he said that new season-ticket purchases and renewals are both "strong."
The Dodgers ranked fifth in MLB last season in total (3,324,246) and average (41,040) attendance, up from 11th in both categories in 2011.

Why is ABC News ignoring DeLay ethics story?
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
As of this post, ABC News is the only one of the three network news outlets not to have reported on recent revelations that House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) accepted lavish, all-expense-paid trips to South Korea and Britain, apparently in violation of House rules forbidding members from accepting travel expenses from registered lobbyists.
On March 15, NBC's Nightly News and CBS' Evening News both covered the DeLay ethics story. CBS' The Early Show reported it on March 16, and the CBS Evening News followed up with a brief report that evening. All four reports also mentioned that DeLay may also be indicted in Texas over the alleged use of a political action committee he formed, Texans for a Republican Majority, to illegally funnel corporate money to Texas Republicans to bolster their ultimately successful attempt to gain control of the Texas state legislature from Democrats in the 2002 elections. A county district attorney in Texas has already indicted three close associates of DeLay.
The Washington Post broke the story of the lobbyist-funded trips. The Post summarized its revelations in a March 16 article:
The Washington Post reported last weekend that an Indian tribe and a gambling services company made donations to a policy group that covered most of the cost of a $70,000 trip to Britain by DeLay, his wife, two aides and two lobbyists in mid-2000, two months before DeLay voted against legislation opposed by the tribe and the company. The group said it paid for the trip, and the group and DeLay said he did not know about the gambling money.
The Post also recently reported that an organization that had registered as a foreign agent picked up the cost of DeLay's trip to South Korea. DeLay and the policy group have said that he did not know of the registration. House ethics rules bar the acceptance of travel funds from registered lobbyists. They also require lawmakers to report the original source of funds and prohibit them from taking gifts of any kind from foreign agents.

New programs feed grads into health fields
Three medical-related fields at the University of South Carolina are graduating their first classes this spring.
Twenty-four nursing students from USC's Salkehatchie and Lancaster campuses are the first graduates of a program that allows students there to earn BSN degrees from the College of Nursing without traveling to Columbia for most of their classes or clinical training.
Salkehatchie and Lancaster faculty teach the first two years of nursing prerequisites, including anatomy, physiology and microbiology. USC Columbia nursing faculty teach the upper division nursing courses through distance education technology. Fourteen students from Salkehatchie and 10 from Lancaster received their nursing degrees through the program.
"This is a multi-dimensional public/private effort aimed at putting more people to work in health care," said Ann Carmichael, dean of USC Salkehatchie. "It addresses the rural nursing shortage, puts people to work in higher-paying jobs, and offers opportunities for students who can't leave their communities because of personal obligations."
USC is also graduating its first class in biomedical engineering, with 10 students earning bachelor's degrees. The program has 143 undergraduate students in the program, with 105 new students expected to arrive in the fall, and is the only Biomedical engineering program in the state.
"The biomedical engineering degree programs represent Carolina's commitment to a true synthesis of biology, medicine and engineering," said program director Abdel Bayoumi.
The program was designed and developed "to train students to initiate, to integrate, to imagine and to invent new processes and new products in order to improve human health," said Bayoumi, who is also a mechanical engineering professor.
The South Carolina College of Pharmacy graduates 183 students in the first class of the integrated University of South Carolina and Medical University of South Carolina pharmacy school. The two schools joined in 2004, bringing together the resources of a major academic medical center and a large comprehensive university. The idea was to leverage the resources of the two colleges of pharmacy to create a college on par with the best in the country. Classes are held at both the Charleston and Columbia campuses.
