Before I post it, I want to tell you Boneheads that you rock. More than 500 comments during the first round.
Here is the official release from the NYR:
Phillips Academy Andover Forward Chosen 19th Overall
New York, June 26, 2009 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has selected forward Chris Kreider with the 19th overall pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
Kreider, 18, skated in 26 games with Phillips Academy, Andover of the New England Prep School Ice Hockey Association (HS-MA), registering 33 goals and 23 assists for 56 points, along with 10 penalty minutes. He led Andover in goals (33), assists (23) and points (56). He also finished sixth among all high school players in point per game average, scoring at a rate of 2.15 points per game. The 6-2, 205-pounder entered the 2009 NHL Entry Draft as the highest ranked high school player, and 14th overall among North American Skaters, according to the final Central Scouting Rankings.
Update from Jane: Got off the phone with Kreider and want to clear up some bios, which say he is Boston College-bound in 2010. He's moved it up to this fall after getting advice from a lot of people saying that he should play at a higher level sooner.
It was a long crazy day, but Kreider said he's excited to come to New York.
"I'm just on cloud nine," Kreider said. "I've been told it's the greatest city in the world. I've never been there but I'm looking forward to it. I have a lot of friends who are Rangers fans."
MONTREAL (June 26, 2009) — Following is a list of trades completed during the first round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft at Bell Centre:

Kitties love it!!
By BigMomma
from Hamilton, NJ
About Me New Owner
The cats love it. They were climbing all over it as I was assembling. There are no real instructions to assemble and a lot of different size screws so this made it challenging determining which screw goes where.
(4 of 4 customers found this review helpful)
By Amy
from Emmaus, PA
Though I liked the variety of activity this tree offered, it was of very poor quality. The where were several different sized screws and bolts, but the instructions offered no indication of which ones were to be used where when assembling the tree. The two screws needed to attach the ladder to the unit were missing and the hole into which the dangling rope was to be screwed was missing the threading and crumbled away when I tried to screw in the rope.The faux fur covering is very, very thin and offers no cushioning at all. My cats are 8 lbs and 13 lbs and the perches were too small for either of them.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good for smaller cats
By Joannerides
from Elkton, MD
Bought for my 2-yr old cat who is not very large (11 lbs). THe ladder and platform it connects to is too small for him to climb up. THe scratching posts are great and keeps him off our furniture and rugs!! The round bed is a little small, but he manages to curl up in it to sleep.The dangling mouse is not attached well. The first time my cat played with it, it came off--and it can't be reattached. The cubby hole is way too small for him to go in, so I just put his toys in there and he likes to dig them out. Basically, this item is made for kittens and/or very small cats. The instructions (well, not really) are terrible. Just a parts list and diagrams how it is supposed to look. The "instructions" show the ladder pre-assembled, but it is not! You have to put that together as well and the "instructions" don't tell you that, I just figured it out since there seemed to be extra screws and parts. Took me about two hours to figure out and assemble the whole thing myself by trial and error.
Not very happy with this cat tower
By Meeks
from Woodstock ga
Not very happy with this purchase my cats only use it for a scathing post. Expensive scratching post I would say. I'm sure it is great for kittens though.
Cats love it!
By Cat Lover
from CT
This is a great cat tree. My only issue was assembly. There aren't any actual instructions, just a few pictures. Once I got it figured out, assembly went fine. My cats LOVE sunbathing on it and looking out the window.
Outstanding Buy
By Joe H.
from Herndon, VA
It's a very durable product and used most of the day by the cat. Placed a scratching post next to it and always know where to find the cat?
The greatest Cat toy ever

Cats love it
By Sharonzbox
from Hampton, VA
I put this together by myself in no time. The cover is soft and durable. No problem at all with the quality. Cats love the scratching posts and use the shelves for resting. Great height: not too short and not too tall. Very pleased with purchase.
Wonderful cat tree
By Barbara H
from New Hampshire
As stated above the directions are poor to follow unless you are skilled at putting things together. It shows pictures of the parts with numbers, but no numbers on the parts themselves.It was a project as I am unskilled in this area, but it was worth it in the end!

Bespoke packaging
Special packaging for storage and transport
Packaging protects intermediate and finished products on their way from the manufacturer to the consumer. It can be used for a wide variety of applications, industries and products. In many cases a single packaging unit is not enough. Products often require special protection or customised packaging.
Solutions from SSI SCHAEFER:
Bespoke packaging
Bespoke packaging consists of two parts: a container in Euro dimensions and an individual customised insert. Each container is fitted with an insert in order to achieve optimum transport and storage conditions. This insert is customised to match the contours of the packaged goods. As a result, items are protected against possible damage.
Inserts come in a choice of vacuum-formed, foam or fabricated inserts.
We will gladly advise you regarding available options and create layouts, drawings or samples. We will then develop a precise packaging insert in close cooperation with our insert manufacturer.
Fabricated inserts
The precise container is manufactured as one piece in just one production stage using a plastic moulding process. The key feature: the container and inlay form one complete unit. The determining element is the centering unit adapted to the precise contours of the customer's specific product – no separate inserts are required.
Mirror-welded containers
Various products require special sizes of insert due to their shape and dimensions. Mirror-welded containers offer the ideal solution. Sections are removed from the basic container according to the special size you require, whether larger or smaller. Alternatively several containers can be joined together, using heated plate welding (or mirror welding) to form a new container.
Advantages of our packaging solutions:
- Products protected from external effects during transport and storage
- Production of commercially available and transportable inserts
- Reduced waste thanks to returnable packaging
- Reduced costs for disposable packaging
- Automated handling possible
- Sturdy, stackable and durable
- Information and Consulting

The cool side of the pillow doesn't do the trick. You toss and turn. Your brain won't power down for the night. You give up and get up, perhaps to avoid depriving your spouse of sleep, too.
Sound familiar? At Mountain Pure Beverage Co., we've developed an innovative product to aid sleep and put your insomnia to bed. You're probably thinking, "I've tried everything to help me sleep." Chances are, you haven't tried Series 7 Sleep Enhancement Beverage! We all know there are serious consequences of sleep loss, particularly relating to cognition and health. But here are some effects you might find surprising:
- It can be a contributor to depression. In a 2007 study, those with insomnia were five times as likely to develop depression. Insomnia often is one of the first symptoms.
- Sleep-deprived men and women often report lower libidos and less interest in sex. Many men with sleep apnea also have low testosterone levels.
- Sleep loss causes lower growth hormone production. When you're young, the hormone promotes growth. As you age, it helps increase muscle mass, thicken skin and strengthen bones.
- People who sleep less than six hours a day are almost 30 percent more susceptible to obesity. Lack of sleep increases hunger and appetite.
Series 7 Health can help. Its sleep enhancement formula combines Lactium (a natural milk protein) and vitamin B-6, which reduces stress-related sleeplessness and restores sleep patterns. The Lactium induces relaxation, leading to deeper, more restorative sleep. Vitamin B-6 converts a small amount of tryptophan (an essential amino acid regulating nervous system activity related to relaxation and sleep) to niacin (vitamin B-3) and serotonin (a neurotransmitter that helps regulate sleep patterns.) Lactium produces positive outcomes in nearly all measured indicators for men and women, including sleep quality and efficiency, sleep disturbances and daytime dysfunction. FDA-approved Lactium doesn't induce side effects such as addictions, tolerance, memory loss, disinhibition or sedation.

When you apply for Jobseeker's Allowance you must bring certain documents with you.
If you lose your job or are made redundant you should bring your P45 or a letter from your employer confirming the last day you worked.
If you don't have your P45 or a letter from your employer you should still apply. However, it is important to bring either your P45 or a letter from your employer as soon as possible to your Intreo Centre or local Social Welfare Branch Office.
If you have difficulty getting your P45 from your employer tell the member of staff dealing with your claim at your Intreo Centre or local Social Welfare Branch Office (see 'If you don't have your P45' below).
If you are laid off temporarily, you may or may not get a P45. If you don't have a P45 you must bring a letter from your employer stating the following:
If your days of work are reduced you must bring a letter from your employer stating the following:
You can provide evidence of your identity by showing your passport or your driver's licence.
If you do not have either a passport or driver's licence, you should bring any other document that you may have, particularly one that has your photograph on it.
The following documents may also be acceptable: credit card, debit card, medical card, age ID card, work ID card, club membership card.
The following items are not accepted as proof of identity:
A claim cannot be decided until identity has been proven.
You may be asked to show evidence of your address. You should bring any of the following documents:
Note: a recent document is one issued within the last 2 months. All documents must be originals, not photocopies.
If there is doubt about your address, the Jobseeker's Allowance claim is not awarded for payment until your address is verified.
If you don't have your P45 you should still apply for your Jobseeker's Allowance.
If you lose your job and your employer does not issue you with a P45, it may be because you have not been registered for PRSI by your employer. It also could be that you have been registered but your employer has not paid the PRSI contributions which are due or has not paid the correct amount. Under the Social Welfare (Consolidation) Act 1993 the employer is obliged to register all employees for PRSI. More information can be found about Paying social insurance.
If your former employer refuses to give you a P45 you should still apply for Jobseeker's Allowance.
If you do not have a P45, the Department may informally contact your employer when you apply for Jobseeker's Allowance and ask him or her to send you a P45 to help process your claim.
If this hasn't resulted in your former employer giving you your P45, you can ask to fill in form IA49 at your Intreo Centre or Social Welfare Branch Office.
Form IA49 is a declaration stating that you believe your former employer did not comply with social insurance regulations. As a result of your declaration, there will be an investigation into your employer's payment of PRSI. Filling in form IA49 may not result in your P45, however, it may help to determine if you qualify for Jobseeker's Allowance.
If you are not given a P45 when you leave your job you should first ask your employer for it. If the employer does not supply it you should contact the tax office.
If you contact your tax office, Revenue will contact the employer and obtain your P45 for you. If you have not been given your P45 and you think that your PRSI contributions have not been paid you should inform your local social welfare inspector by contacting your Intreo Centre or Social Welfare Branch Office or the Scope section of the Department of Social Protection.
If you have a question relating to this topic you can contact the Citizens Information Phone Service on 0761 07 4000 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 8pm) or you can visit your local Citizens Information Centre.

"A.J. Feeley has been very productive as a quarterback in Philadelphia," said general manager Tom Heckert. "He's won some games at crucial times for this franchise and he gives us a great amount of confidence as a backup to Donovan McNabb. A.J.'s proven to be very comfortable in this offensive scheme and we look forward to having him in the fold for the next several years."
The signing of Feeley signals that Jeff Garcia won't be back with the Eagles, which has become fairly apparent in recent days. Instead, Feeley will enter free agency and look for a deal with a team that he hopes will both be in contention and give him a chance to start. Garcia's agent, Steve Baker, told Scout.com that he hasn't had substantive talks with the Eagles regarding a deal for Garcia.
With Koy Detmer also a free agent and likely not to be re-signed, the Eagles will look for a third string quarterback in the NFL Draft slated for late April. The search will officially begin at the Combine where the Eagles contingent is judging players eligible for the draft. Detmer's departure will also mean that the team will search for a new holder for David Akers, who was most comfortable with Detmer as his holder.

The Roman patron goddess of shepherds and flocks. Pales also presides over the health and fertility of the domestic animals. Her festival is the Palilia (also called the Parilia) and was celebrated by shepherds on April 21, the legendary founding date of Rome. On that day large fires were made through which they drove the cattle. Pales was originally a single deity, variously male or female, with the same characteristics. The name is believed by some to be related to the Greek and Latin word phallus.

For Immediate Release
TrueVector Technologies Debuts Emergency Responder Real-Time Web Drawing Solution
Strategic reseller Defense Group to incorporate solution into CoBRA® Web Mapping
Hanover, New Hampshire – January 6, 2012– TrueVector Technologies today introduced a web-based,
interactive drawing solution for Emergency Responder web mapping software intended for use by federal, state,
and local governments, and other Emergency Responder organizations.
The first deployment of the technology is by Defense Group, Inc. (DGI) of Vienna, Virginia, which has signed a
strategic reseller agreement with TrueVector Technologies. DGI will market this drawing solution as part of its
CoBRA® WEB Mapping within the CoBRA Crisis Management and Emergency Response business unit. The
applications for CoBRA® WEB mapping are numerous. DGI will initially target Fire Departments, EMS
organizations, Bomb Squads, HAZMAT teams, and Police Departments as a situational awareness tool to assist in
the collaboration of first Responders and Emergency Operation Centers.
CoBRA® WEB mapping will allow users to quickly develop situational awareness by viewing all essential
information on a map, down to street level detail. It provides a common operating picture, where emergency
personnel can log in and collaborate on a single universal map, which can be viewed and updated in real time to
reflect changing events on the ground. Users of the map can draw and markup incident information from
anywhere, saving time, minimizing property losses, and protecting the safety of personnel and the general
public. The system has been designed to easily track assets and resources as data is automatically fed into a map
from the incident site as well as reach back assets and command centers.
Commented Sandy Fitchet, CEO and President of TrueVector Technologies: "Our partnership with Defense
Group has opened a new market – Emergency Response – for TrueVector Technologies. We are very pleased to
be working in concert with DGI to deliver customized software solutions that assist First Responders in their
critically important mission and delivery objectives."
Commented Chris Boehm, DGI CoBRA Group Vice President: "Through our strategic partnership with TrueVector
Technologies, we are able to offer the first Emergency Response solution that links real-time mapping and
collaborative markup with incident response. This is a real boon to our clients, and has generated interest in
some related markets, such as Police Departments, who see CoBRA® WEB mapping as a means to manage
protest situations. With CoBRA® they can visualize the current status and location of protesters and make
informed decisions for managing their department's actions."
About Defense Group/CoBRA® Crisis Management and Emergency Response
CoBRA® provides the first responder quick and easy access to interactive tools and comprehensive data to
manage incidents involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, natural disaster, and explosive threats.
CoBRA® software is a proven crisis response technology used in planning, training, exercise and operational
response. The easy-to-use software delivers the information you need, when you need it. Fast.
CoBRA® software serves as a Decision Support Tool for the full spectrum of HAZMAT & CBRNE incident
management; including pre-planning, training, exercises and response. CoBRA® has been deployed to DoD Base
Fire Departments under the JPEO-CBD Guardian Program and currently used by National Guard Bureau HQ for
all WMD Civil Support Teams, and to 20th Support Command CBRN. It is used within the State & Local
Responder communities, all FBI accredited bomb squads nationwide and supports MIL/CIV collaboration. It also
supports National Standards such as National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command

text: Culture 12 September 2011 Interview: Mark Rylance An Englishman in New York. Sign up for our weekly email * In April, a queue stretched from the Music Box Theatre on West 45th Street in New York City down to Eighth Avenue. The occasion was the first week of previews for the US transfer of the West End play Jerusalem. I asked about a dozen people what they were so excited about. They all said the same thing: "Mark Rylance." Four months later, Jerusalem is in its final week of Broadway performances and Rylance has a sore neck. "This neck is just not in place," he says quietly, from the fourth-floor dressing room, two hours before the curtain. "I don't know what it is. It happened this morning in training." The actor lifts weights three times a week, the better to transform his slight figure into the towering menace that is "Rooster" Byron, the gypsy wild man of Jerusalem. It appears to be taking a toll on the 51-year-old. He also consumes a raw egg, several cigarettes and a sausage roll eight times a week onstage. How is that affecting him? "I'm all right. I think the smoking is not a great idea. It's more the later consequences, but there you go." He laughs. For New Yorkers, Rylance emerged fully formed three years ago when he made his Broadway debut in Boeing-Boeing, another transfer from the West End, featuring US television actors. He stole the show with an startling, acrobatic performance and won a Tony Award for Best Actor. Rylance is quick to credit the West End-based producer Sonia Friedman for that success. "She fought hard for me to come into the Boeing-Boeing cast and not to have an American take over the part. They had an American take over all the other parts," he says, without rancour. After the success of that production, Friedman didn't have to fight quite such a battle to secure Rylance's subsequent two transfers, La Bête and Jerusalem. What has become a familiar sight in London - the hat, the earring, the shy speech - was a freshly jarring figure at the Tony Awards in 2008, when Rylance accepted his trophy and, instead of making the usual gushing acceptance speech, recited a prose poem by Louis Jenkins. The highlight of the night was watching the mystified reactions of the celebrity audience. Rylance repeated the stunt this year when he was given the award again for his performance in Jerusalem. When he won the Best Actor prize at the Olivier Awards in 2010, however, he delivered a typical grateful actor speech. Did differences between the West End and Broadway inform his decision? "It's a big horse fair here in New York, the way they make a competition out of it. At the Oliviers, because Ian [Rickson] and Jez [Butterworth] didn't win anything, I wanted to say something in their home community. The Tonys are much more ripe to put some air into. There's more investment in America in the value of winning prizes. People are more concerned here than they are in England. At least, I hope we're a little more sceptical." Rylance is clearly in love with Jerusalem - he's been playing Byron on and off since 2009, first at the Royal Court and then in the West End. He was intimately involved in its creation by the playwright Butterworth and the director Rickson. He talks about the freedom of Rickson's direction and refers to the kabuki style of acting when I mention the stillness of the play's third act. After a decade running Shakespeare's Globe in London, he says he no longer has stage fright and can sense that audiences respond to his enjoyment onstage. Unlike his previous Broadway outings, this is a defiantly British production. Most cast members are from the original Royal Court production, and above the stage a banner reads: "The English stage company". At a recent performance, an American couple behind me kept asking what "whizz" could signify. "That's all good, though!" Rylance enthuses. "It doesn't matter. What they sense is that it's a real, indigenous culture that's of interest to them. It's not a part of England they've seen before. The audiences here go on a further journey than those back home: the first act is a romp with these eccentric British people. Then they're brought across the Atlantic and back again, because of the stillness of the third act, the passing of a way of life. It's the simple issue of people who want to go and have to stay and people who have to stay and want to go - which the American Indians exemplify here in America." As he eats his vegetable wrap and checks his small antique timepiece, I ask him if he feels there is more of a response from Broadway audiences which, at every performance, offer standing ovations and wolf whistles. "We've got better and tighter," he says. "The need to communicate to an audience that's less familiar with the story has made us better storytellers." Rylance was born in Kent in 1960 but moved with his family at the age of two to the US. He returned to England in 1978 to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and was soon working for the Royal Shakespeare Company. "It's exciting what's happening in England," he says. "The issues are coming to a head, the relationship of people to government . . . I'm excited that the British people are not pushovers. "London's always much closer to civil unrest and rebellion if the government doesn't deliver. In America, it feels like the population has been pacified more. In England, people have a keen sense of when things are going to kick off - you feel part of a society, an opposition." Five days after we talk, the closing performance of Jerusalem is like an awards show. There is an odd assortment of celebrities - Liam Neeson, Steve Buscemi, Brooke Shields - in a sold-out house that laughs at every gesture. The play receives a ten-minute standing ovation. Rylance whispers to the actor playing the professor, "I think I ought to say a few words." He gives a thoughtful speech about how welcoming the US has been. He singles out everybody but himself - the understudies, the producers, the backers - and throws flowers into the audience. Then, he and the cast all jump up and down one last time.

We've been trying to find another slightly unique/unusual one to go with our first son but cannot agree on anything.
At the moment Adekin (a derivative of Adam: of the red earth) is a consideration but we are doing our best to avoid being the couple with the 'strange named children'
I do like more 'normal' names like Gideon & Faegan (much to my husband's disgust as he just thinks of the old guy from 'Oliver') but the hubby has vetoed these.
I am really worried that we (me in particular!!) will eventually just settle on a name that neither of us are in love with...has anyone else ever done this?
I know you can never please everyone but I'd really like to give my children beautiful names that reflect their individuality but not have people give us those strange looks & the typical "Oooh, that's unusual, where does that name come from...?"

As a lifelong Republican who served in the Army in Germany, I believe it is critical that we review -- and overturn -- the ban on gay service in the military. I voted for "don't ask, don't tell." But much has changed since 1993.
My thinking shifted when I read that the military was firing translators because they are gay. According to the Government Accountability Office, more than 300 language experts have been fired under "don't ask, don't tell," including more than 50 who are fluent in Arabic. This when even Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice recently acknowledged the nation's "foreign language deficit" and how much our government needs Farsi and Arabic speakers. Is there a "straight" way to translate Arabic? Is there a "gay" Farsi? My God, we'd better start talking sense before it is too late. We need every able-bodied, smart patriot to help us win this war.
Since 1993, I have had the rich satisfaction of knowing and working with many openly gay and lesbian Americans, and I have come to realize that "gay" is an artificial category when it comes to measuring a man or woman's on-the-job performance or commitment to shared goals. It says little about the person.

Chapter 1
"It's the best station to work at!" Charlie Samplin couldn't hide the excitement he felt, but he was worried what Susan would say about having to move again, this time off-planet. "Sometimes ships bypass the other stations just to get their repairs done at SEAMS16."
"SEAMS16..." Susan replied slowly, trying to place the name, then remembered, "You mean the S. E. A. Maintenance Station? Charlie, that's off-planet. I know when we got married I said I would follow you anywhere, but off-planet? I don't know..."

Bio: DJ AMIR
The buzz around DJ Amir usually includes one of the following phrases: "the chosen one" or "the LeBron James of the wax- spinner scene." In a city oozing DJ talent, this talk isn't taken lightly. Especially considering Amir is only 29. Known for his lightning-fast cuts and scratches, Amir is a shining example of what's become a Philly DJ trademark: using technical turntable mastery to rock a party. "I started DJing in 2001," he reflects. "I was in eighth grade when my mom bought me turntables for Kwaanza." The next summer Amir became a fixture at Armand's Records, hanging out longer than some full-time employees. There he met DJ Fatcat, who took the youngster under his wing. "From [Fatcat] I met DJ Touchtone. Touchtone opened his arms up to me, and every day after school I'd go to 103.9. He'd have me practicing for two or three hours." All that practice led to a weekend gig DJing at Sneaker Villa in the Gallery Mall, where Amir worked through high school.
Like many young folks his age, Amir spent way too much time on the streets, narrowly avoiding more than a few collisions with disaster. But he's eager to leave that trouble behind. "This past year a lot of things changed in my life for both good and bad, and it made me see I'm blessed in everything I've got," he says. "I do have talent, so why not use it? It's hard, 'cause you can get distracted easily. A lot of people are dying. Your homie gets killed and you feel a certain way, but you don't wanna mess your life up. You gotta be smart." With that being said DJ Amir didn't fall victim to the negative circumstances. He went on to become the Official DJ for DefJam Artist Beanie Sigel and has been featured on Mr. Sigel's latest album "The Solution." Along with album appearances DJ Amir has toured with Beanie Sigel and shared the stage with many other DefJam acts. With being one of the most well known Dj's in the area, it was only a matter of time before Dj Amir would receive that phone call to touch the stage with Philadelphia's very own Hip Hop star, Meek Mill. Dj Amir then went on to become Meek's personal tour Dj. From djing events such as "The Dreams and Nightmares Tour" to the "2012 BET Hip Hop Awards" its clear to see that Amir's talents have taken him very far. Along with the many blessings that have came with working with Meek, Amir was honored to receive an endorsement deal with popular athletic brand PUMA.
Throughout Amirs career he was able to develop numerous friendships but none would be like his friendship with Tampa Bay Buccaneers star wide receiver DeSean Jackson. With holding a very close friendship with DeSean, Amir was able to take his talents and open new doors in his career. With currently being DeSean's very own personal dj, Amir has been able to provide his talents for numerous different events held by DeSean. From in-store events and appearances, events associated with "The DeSean Jackson Foundation" to yearly "Stop The Bullying" appearances at the local high schools, Amir and DeSean still continue to work together and hold a very close friendship. Dj Amir still currently holds the title as being one of Philadelphia's most recognized and well known dj. Even with his many different ventures he's still able to hold the tri-state area down with Exclusive music and mixtapes.
DJ Caesar is one of the most versatile and hardworking DJs in the industry. He comes from Panamanian roots but was raised in Burlington, NJ. Growing up in the U.S. while living in a Spanish speaking home exposed him to various genres of music ultimately influencing his love of diversity within music and decision to become a DJ.
After co-hosting a college radio show in 2006, he caught the radio bug and began to pursue his career. In 2008, while attending the Connecticut School of Broadcasting in Cherry Hill, NJ, he landed an internship at 100.3 The Beat in Philadelphia. His dedication and desire to learn every aspect of radio and broadcasting impressed management and he was offered a permanent position as a Promotions Assistant. After a year, Caesar took a chance and quit to pursue his goal of becoming an on air personality and DJ.
Shortly thereafter, DJ Caesar was hired as an intern at Sirius XM. Taking the initiative to learn board operations as an intern opened the door for a new opportunity. After completing his internship with Sirius XM in 2010, he was hired as a board operator and worked with various stations within Sirius. Admiring his drive and motivation his superiors, once again promoted him. In 2013 Caesar was awarded his own two-hour hip-hop show on Sirius XM's Shade 45 titled #WeekendWork, co-hosted with Coach PR, every Saturday morning from 10am-12pm. #WeekendWork is a wildly popular two hour segment that is an ode to the hip-hop culture and its lifestyle.

Keyed by a nine-run fifth, the Wright State baseball team scored the final 13 runs of the game in rolling to a 13-1 decision over Dayton Sunday afternoon at Nischwitz Stadium.
The Flyers picked up a run on a balk in the second, only to see the Raiders answer with a run of their own in the bottom of the frame. With two outs and no one on base, Sean Murphy singled through the left side and scored as Michael Timm doubled to left center.
Jason DeFevers made it 2-1 an inning later with his first collegiate home run, a solo blast to left center, and the lead grew to 4-1 in the fourth on a two-run double off the bat of Kieston Greene.
WSU then exploded for nine runs in the fifth, the big blow being a three-run home run by Timm, his first of the season.
Senior righthander Taylor Braun (1-1) picked up the win, striking out seven in six innings of work. Darion Nunn, Jack Van Horn and Andrew Elliott wrapped it up as each pitched a scoreless inning of relief.
Timm had two hits and four RBI for the Raiders while Greene had three hits and two RBI. Brad Macciocchi, Andrew McCafferty and Murphy each drove in two.
Wright State (6-9) opens Horizon League play next weekend with a three-game home series against UIC, starting with a single game on Friday, March 14, at 6:30.

The floating Riverwalk is set to be replaced, but not in the form that saw part of its previous incarnation float away at the height of January's flood.
Instead, a federal and state-funded $70 million fixed Riverwalk, which will not rise and fall with the tide, will be built in its place.
Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said the new structure would be built above the Brisbane River, from the Howard Smith Wharves to New Farm, and would be wider than the original floating five-metre-wide floating structure.
"It will be built to six metres in width, one metre wider than the original Riverwalk to make it easier for the cyclists and the pedestrians," he said.
"It will be like we have done with the new Bicentennial Bikeway along Coronation Drive.
"It will make it safer and eliminate the conflict that we see between cyclists and pedestrians on occasions."
Brisbane residents were given five options to choose from in August after the federal and state governments contributed $75 million to re-build the Riverwalk, which was all but destroyed in January.
The option chosen was Option B after all five options were put on display in August.
Cr Quirk said more than 70 per cent of the 1300 residents who voted in the online poll wanted the Riverwalk replaced.
The final choice reflected a combination of residents' wishes, the engineers' recommendations and Brisbane City Council's desire to choose a "low cost" option.
"This model of Riverwalk is a more cost-effective option," Cr Quirk said.
In August, Option B's final cost was estimated at $67.1 million, however it has "firmed" at $70 million.
Annual maintenance costs will be lower than the old floating Riverwalk, down from $650,000 to $330,000 per year.
It will also have an opening for boats that are moored on the shoreline, although details of this were unable to be obtained last night.
This morning's announcement will come as Acting Premier Andrew Fraser and Queensland Senator Joe Ludwig announce $48 million of the $145 million state and federal flood reconstruction funds had been brought forward.
"Queenslanders will never forget the devastating images of the Riverwalk breaking away from its foundations and weaving a dangerous path down the Brisbane River - as well as the relief we all felt when the tugs guided the wreck into open waters before they caused untold damage," Mr Fraser said.
"Similarly, ferry infrastructure took a battering when the river broke its banks in early January, and left the city without ferries and CityCats."
Senator Ludwig said the money to be announced today included $24.7 million for the Riverwalk restoration and $23 million for Brisbane's ferry terminals.
"The fast-tracked funding will ensure these iconic symbols of the city are rebuilt as soon as possible, which is good for business, good for the city and great news for the people of Brisbane," he said.
A spokesman for Cr Quirk said planning for both projects was well advanced.
Fine tuning the design will take place before the construction of the project goes out to tender.
Work on re-building the Riverwalk will not start until 2013 and be finished in 2014, the spokesman said.
Queensland Reconstruction Authority chairman Major General Richard Wilson said good co-operation had allowed other Brisbane projects to be fast-tracked for repairs.
"Already, approvals for projects like the Rocks Riverside Park in Seventeen Mile Rocks and the Radnor Street rebuild in Indooroopilly have been fast tracked," he said.

Greenhouse Gas Plan Punts On Land Use Issue
"A yet-to-be-appointed committee of regional planning agency representatives will refine the emissions reduction target for land use decisions, the California Air Resources Board decided on December 11. The board declined to establish the high target requested by environmentalists and smart growth advocates, and opposed by building interests and local government.
Air Resources Board Member Daniel Sperling said he understands why land use received heavy attention, even though it accounts for a very small part of the AB 32 emissions reductions. "There is so much frustration that's been growing over the years about sprawl and [there is a] desire to create better communities," Sperling said. "What we are doing here is breathing life into a movement."
Board Member Ron Roberts, a San Diego County supervisor, pointed out the state is handing an emissions reductions mandate to regional and local governments at the same time the state has eliminated all funding for transit. Greatly improved transit service is essential to cutting emissions, he said."

A northern Indiana attorney says he has released portions of the deposition with a member of the band Sugarland to counter
what he believes to be inaccurate press releases from the band. But is it a good idea for an attorney to be releasing this
information to the press before the matter has gone to trial?
Sugarland band members Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush are being deposed about what they know regarding decisions on whether to postpone their concert at the Indiana State Fair Aug. 13, 2011, due to incoming bad weather. Attorney Ken Allen of Merrillville, who is representing victims in the stage collapse, handed over some of the recorded deposition of Nettles to the press.
According to news outlets in Indianapolis, he says he's done so to combat inaccurate information coming from Sugarland representatives. He's also spoken to the press about the depositions, claiming testimony was "cold and calculated."
Of course, Sugarland's spokesman Allan Mayer is bothered that Allen has released the depositions, telling CNN, "When you think about it, you can't really blame these lawyers for attempting to try their case in the press, because if they tried to make those arguments in court, they'd quickly be tossed in the trash, which is where they belong."
Mayer also claims that the deposition has been selectively edited.
Tell me, attorneys, is releasing portions of a deposition good trial strategy? Is this tactic something that is common in these types of cases? Would it compromise your case in court to release it to the press before hand?

alam na kung sino unang matutuwa pag nakuha si casio..... <----------
bigay mo na pogi. para mapahinga naman ng mahaba si idol j3j3. imagine 2 years pa siya maglalaro baka mapudpod na kamay nun kaka dribble.
Nabasa ko lang, bago daw mag draft pick si Chua na ang papalit na head coach ng Ginebra...ang kukunin daw ng Ginebra sa draft isang PF at isang center...tapos kukuha daw ng isang PG at SF via trade...nabasa ko lang sa fanpage.
Anong fan page yan? Malamang imagination lang yan ng BuGoK fan na admin dun.
Jan Parayno @janboggs24
@alfrancischua IKAW NA ANG COACH . CONGRATS SANA MAPAGCHAMPION MO NA GINEBRA .
alfrancis chua @alfrancischua
@janboggs24 wrong info sir hondi ako im happy and satisfied as consultant pls cont to support ginebra
^ does this mean na merong bagong coach ang ginebra?
Taenang yan, blocked pala ako kay Chualay. Bwahaha!
Kung totoo nga na satisfied siya as a consultant, buti naman!
mas lumalim pa rookie draft ngayon sa pagpasok ni ronald pascual. pag nawala si kg at maliksi mas lalo mawawalan tayo ng three pointers. we need good three pointers para manalo tayo sa bmeg, casio and pascual isn't that bad. remember 2 draft pick natin kahit yun pang #8 pick natin may makukuha tayong mapapakinabangan na rookie.

i hope this would be our depth chart by the all filipino cup, assuming that the maliksi trade is not going down. sana tumaas ang ranking natin sa draft o bumagsak si alex mallari sa order.
PG - jvee casio, mike cortez
SG - mark caguioa, alex mallari
SF - dylan ababou, john wilson
PF - kerby raymundo, willie wilson
C - rico maierhofer, aldrech ramos
rudy hatfield
j3j3 helterbrand
allein maliksi
billy mamaril
enrico villanueva
allow to walk:
kg cañaleta
i think alex mallari is a fit because he will sparkle under sparkles, plus a veteran team will be able to control his temper. nangangarap ako ng calvin "DA BEAST" abueva but i don't think that he will go down as low as 5th, even more 6th. pwede na si aldrech ramos as back-up pf/center kay kid at rico.
and yes, our centers are thin but they will be able to draw out campers like b-meg outside. and it's not like we are going all-finesse. meron pa rin tayong mga pambarag at mga makikipag-palitan ng mukha down low.
btw, ang arte-arte nitong chris tiupa, akala mo naman sya ang pinaka-magaling na talent sa draft. meron pang "the decision" na nalalaman kung sasali sya sa draft o hindi. nakakainis lang para sa ibang draft prospects na nagpapaka-hirap dahil may primadonna na pinag-iisipan pa kung sasali sya sa draft. mag-business at showbiz na lang sya kung undecided syang sumali sa pba draft.
i'll laugh if he gets picked in the second round, and it's not like it's unlikely. di hamak na ang daming mas magagaling sa kanya.
No slowing down for PBA's new MVP
By Nelson Beltran (The Philippine Star)
MANILA, Philippines - As he emerged the Commissioners Cup Best Player of the Conference, Ginebra star Mark Caguioa was motivated to go all the way to win the season MVP award.
And having won the MVP honors, Caguioa is now looking forward to the next season, determined to play every inch like a true MVP through his reign.
He wants to give credence to the honors bestowed on him during the 2012 PBA Leo Awards at the Smart Araneta Coliseum Sunday night before Game Four of the season-ending Governors Cup finals.
Because the MVP is now in my hands, I have to train harder. I dont want to experience those experienced by other former MVPs, slowing it down after winning the award, said Caguioa.
He didnt exactly say, though, that he would pursue back-to-back MVP awards a rare feat achieved only by three players in Bogs Adornado (1975-76), Alvin Patrimonio (1993-94) and Danny Ildefonso (2000-01).
Also awaited is his reaction on the message posted by national coach Chot Reyes on his Twitter page.
Congrats Mark the Spark! National team uli! Call me maybe? twitted Reyes after Caguioa was named the seasons best.
Caguioa was with Reyes national team that placed ninth in the 2007 FIBA Asia championship in Tokushima, Japan.
Surely, hes still savoring the sweetness of his triumph.
Katabi ko ang girlfriend ko pagtulog, siguro ngayon eto (his MVP trophy) muna, said Caguioa before leaving the Big Dome Sunday.
Caguioa bagged his first MVP award at 32 and in his 10th season in the league a year to remember even minus a championship or a crack at it.
Only fourth placer in the stats race, Caguioa zoomed to the top in winning the balloting among the media, the players and league officials. Caguioa garnered a total of 2,399 points as against Gary Davids 1,891, James Yaps 1,417 and Arwind Santos 1,087.
for the full story: http://www.philstar.com/sportsarticl...keyword=sp_pba
^ minsan nakakalimutan siguro ni JJ na bola ang dini-dribble niya, hindi yung *@$&a ni RR! bwahahaha!
what if (sana) mapunta sa atin number 2 pick ng Alaska, sino mas pipiliin nyo kunin ng team? Hodge or Abueva?
Hoping BGK would get Rabeh for Mamaril+bgk's 8pick

GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania — It was a convincing win on Sunday on the one-year anniversary of a tragic day for the Seton Hill University women's lacrosse team.
"We're playing with a lot of inspiration, with a lot of emotion," coach Courtney Grove said.
Those feelings poured out during a moment of silence before the game against Tiffin University and then during the match that Seton Hill won, 18-10.
A few players wiped away tears during the brief quiet time to remember their pregnant coach, Kristina Quigley, 30, and bus driver Anthony Guaetta, 61, of Johnstown. Both, along with Quigley's unborn son, were killed when the tour bus the team was traveling in the morning of March 16, 2013, crashed along the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Cumberland County.
Nineteen players were injured, and the 2013 season was canceled. The team was headed to Millersville University for a game.
Players have dedicated this season to Quigley.
"I will never forget the words of wisdom we all received from her about lacrosse and about life," said redshirt sophomore Emily Fagan of Calgary, Canada, in a statement written prior to the game. "Those words are helping all of us remember what is truly important, not only on the field, but off it as well."
Fagan scored four goals on Sunday.
Dressed in their home uniforms of white tops and black skirts with white trim, it didn't take long for the Griffins to get into game mode.
The starting lineup was announced with music by hard-rock band AC/DC playing in the background and, within minutes, the ball was in the opposing team's net.
About 125 spectators cheered on the team during a chilly day under cloudy skies — a large crowd considering it was the final day of the university's spring break, Athletic Director Chris Snyder said. Many of the people in the stands were family members of players and university athletes, including the men's lacrosse team.
"I think just them getting back on the field … was a big deal for them," Snyder said.
Scheduling a game on the one-year anniversary is part of the positive work Grove has done in taking over the team and preparing members mentally and physically for the season, he said.
A game is "a break from the real world" for the players, Snyder said.
The team has tried to keep the season "as normal as can be," said Grove, who played with Quigley on Duquesne University's lacrosse team. Grove helped recruit some of the Seton Hill players before heading to Marquette to coach. She returned for this season.
Investigators believe Guaetta fell unconscious when he suffered a medical emergency a mile east of the Carlisle interchange, causing the bus to veer off the road and into a tree. Quigley, six months pregnant with her second son, was seated behind him, and many of the players.
"I think we have shown a great level of competitiveness so far," redshirt senior Rachel Hilbert of Perkiomenville, Montgomery County, said in a written statement. "We are using what happened last March as motivation and inspiration."
Hilbert graduated last year but decided to return and take on another major to play lacrosse during the 2014 season. She scored a goal on Sunday.
Team members attended a Mass on campus on Sunday evening in memory of Quigley, her unborn son and Guaetta.
The players are a "strong group of girls" who have been able to rely on each other and release some of their emotions on the field, Grove said.
"I think that's why we're playing so well," she said.
The team's record is 4-1 this season with 12 games remaining, nearly all of which will be competition within the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. It's the team's first year in the conference.
"It's going to be tough, but it's just going to make us better," Grove said.
Redshirt senior Morgan Cain graduated last year and took on more courses to play. She had a hat trick with three goals on Sunday.
"Coach Quigley was so enthused about lacrosse — she lived the sport in everything she did — and she considered this team to be part of her family," Cain, of Fairmont, West Virginia, said in a written statement. "We were her girls and we will do everything we can to honor her memory."
Rounding out the Griffins' scoring were redshirt junior Emma Simmers of Pittsburgh with six goals; Alessandra Nicholas, a redshirt sophomore from Pittsburgh, with two; and one each from freshman Charlotte Cunningham of Germantown, Maryland, and redshirt junior Elizabeth Otwell of Orchard Park, New York
Their next match is Tuesday at Shepherd University in West Virginia's Shenandoah Valley.

OFFICIAL: 330i/Ci Guide to Horsepower Gaining Mods (Sorted by Bang for the Buck)!
We see these threads each and every day, so why don't we put one thread at the top (like they look there anyway...) for a quick reference?
I've compiled a list of mods you can do for your 330i/Ci to maximize horsepower gains from best "bang for the buck" to worst. How did I come up with these figures? Simple.
Some of you may disagree with my order of things, but your input is always highly appreciated. I used a 330Ci/330i as the base vehicle for horsepower gains. Other models may be similar in gains, but not nearly as extreme as some. Also, keep in mind that by installing two separate items that claim 10 HP, you will not actually see a 20 HP increase, but more of a true 10 HP increase. Funny how that works, huh? If you look at this dyno chart (also featured in the Pulleys section), you'll see that with all the mods in place (plus a 3.46 differential and no performance software), the car only gained about 16 peak horsepower. Sadly, by installing all the basics and investing so much money and time into your car, it still isn't going to walk an ///M3. It will, however, probably make it a bit more fun to drive!
Before we get started, there is one VERY important thing we must cover:
This is by far the most important thing you can do before you start letting your automatic 323i crank out 780 WHP. Here are a few items that are guaranteed to need replacing:
As you may have noticed, I've added links to where you can purchase some of these items. Not every preventative maintenance item was covered, but I did try to tackle the most common ones.
Now you're probably jumping up and down in your sport seats, anxious to see the goods. Be careful not to cause any airbag lights, because that will be just another setback before you can afford these upgrades!
Yes... the "N Word". It's cheap, plentiful, can be used only when you want it, CAN BE safe (no guarantees!), but has a tank that always needs refilling. For the person on a budget, the Nitrous Express Proton Plus kit seems to be where it's at (from what I can gather). You get a variety of nozzles (35 HP, 50 HP, 75 HP, 100 HP, 125 HP and 150 HP), the bottle, and all other hardware along with a wide open throttle switch.
Since this kit is advertised on their website at just under $400, you can have horsepower for as little as $2.67 per horsepower (150 shot). Of course, running 150 shot of nitrous on a completely stock motor is NOT smart to do. They say the best rule of thumb for a 330Ci/330i is to run no more than a 50 shot, that way you don't get into timing, air-fuel ratios, etc. However, you can do what you want.
NITROUS BOTTOM LINE: $2.67 - $11.43 per HP.
We hear it all the time, "Headers are the best bang for the buck mod you can buy for horsepower!" This is entirely too true. A set of eBay headers can run you around $100 shipped to your door. $100 for a gain of nearly 15 HP sounds almost too good to be true. That's because it is. If you do not install the headers yourself, you'll be paying nearly $400+ to get them installed.
Now... if you opt for Active Autowerke headers, you'll be paying well over $1,200. That's SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive for a very identical item. Many of the new E46 owners I know are on a budget, so AA headers are out of the question.
ADDITION: Thanks to mvrk10256 on E46Fanatics.com for some addition for this section...
HEADERS BOTTOM LINE: $6.67 per HP to $80 per HP
This is a popular question with the younger "tuner" guys who get into BMW's with the impression it's a "German Honda". Sorry guys... BMW's are pretty sophisticated machines that are already well-tuned out of the factory. Why do you think it's so hard to get big gains from bolt on mods?
The most popular performance chip people seem to lean towards is the Conforti Shark Injector. I've read of gains from 7 HP all the way to 12 HP. Let's go with 10 HP for a good median for this writeup. It's very easy to use (plugs into the OBD II port) and is relatively safe. It raises your redline to a screaming 7,000 RPM (), removes the top speed limiter, improves throttle response, and so forth. It was programmed with the car with bolt on mods in mind (headers, intake, and exhaust).
Active Autowerke also has some performance software, but you have to send off your DME for a total reflash. Active Autowerke also has authorized dealers across the nation who can flash your DME, eliminating the need to be without a car for a few days. (You can find a list of their dealers here.) It's just a bit more expensive ($399 on their website), but they claim gains of 15 horsepower and 12 lb-ft. of torque, which actually makes this the better deal. On top of this, they actually flash your DME for YOU! If you have headers, they'll take note and program your DME to better accept them. By flashing your DME to suit your existing mods, you can actually see gains higher than what is originally expected. AA's software also raises the redline and removes the top speed limiter while improving throttle response as well.
PERFORMANCE CHIP/SOFTWARE BOTTOM LINE: $26.60 to $36.90 per HP
NOTE: There is also the option of flashing the EU2 Software onto your DME yourself. Yes... a software flash DIY. This is the cheapest option to my knowledge (USB to OBDII cable and software for $36.00 and $7.00 shipping off eBay.com), requiring a USB OBD diagnostic cable that runs from your laptop to your car. There are no solid numbers for performance increase, but claims of better idle, better throttle response, and a better torque curve have all been made (and many people will back up this claim). Definite numbers have not been proven, but people say they have noticed a difference. Please CLICK HERE for more information. You can find the cable mentioned HERE.
Long tube or short ram? Debates have gone on for ages about these, so do a little research before spending your hard earned money. Claimed gains can be anywhere from 3 HP (short ram) to 10 HP (long tube).
If you're the daring type, you could actually make your own cold air intake system for much, much cheaper than what you could buy it for. The air filter will be the most expensive part of your homemade intake.
Pricing varies tremendously on this mod, where it can range anywhere from $75 for a homemade one (filter included in that price) to $300 for a nice long-tube intake. For a happy medium, we're going to say intakes provide around 4 HP.
AIR INTAKE BOTTOM LINE: $18.75 - $75.00 per HP
I'm not getting into the debate on whether or not underdrive pulleys are going to screw up your motor, but they will free up some "lost" horsepower due to parasitic accessories such as power steering, the water pump, and the alternator. I had to go with the reasoning that these do not add horsepower... they simply free up power that was lost between the motor and the wheels. Average freed horsepower proven by the dyno has been "up to 11 HP". Now, that "up to" part is going to vary depending on your car. For all practical purposes, let's go with about a 5 HP gain (going off of this chart).
We have a variety of brands, but I'm going to stick with the top three trusted brands: UUC Motorwerks, Rogue Engineering, and Turner Motorsports. TMS comes in at the most expensive at around $277, UUC comes in at $199, while Rogue is priced at a competitive $185.
UNDERDRIVE PULLEYS BOTTOM LINE: $37.00 - $55.40 per HP
We all dream of hearing the supercharger whine or that signature "P'TSHHHH!" of a turbo's blow-off valve, don't we? There's only one problem: These systems are expensive, ranging anywhere from $4,500 to nearly $7,000! The gains will vary, depending on which motor you have in your car.
For this write-up, I will use the 3.0 liter M54. Horsepower gains will be anywhere from 140 to 180 HP for superchargers and 90 to 140 HP for turbo kits. Since each system has different gains, I'll break them down separately now.
Active Autowerke Stage 1 Supercharger Kit - 365 HP and 270 lb-ft torque; $4,400 - $31.43 per HP
Active Autowerke Stage 2 Supercharger Kit - 405 HP and 285 lb-ft torque; $5,995 - $33.31 per HP
ESS Tuning Stage 1 Supercharger Kit - 320 HP and 302 lb-ft torque; $5,350 - $56.32 per HP
ESS Tuning Stage 2 Supercharger Kit - 345 HP and 317 lb-ft torque; $6,850 - $57.08 per HP
Technique Tuning Stage 1 Turbo Kit - 315 HP and 305 lb-ft torque; $6,395 (manual transmission) - $71.06 per HP
Technique Tuning Stage 2 Turbo Kit - 375 HP and 370 lb-ft torque; $6,895 (manual transmission) - $45.97 per HP
Technique Tuning ZHP Turbo Kit - 325 HP and 300 lb-ft torque; $6,395 (manual transmission) - $71.06 per HP
A set of cams increases how high your motor can rev, allowing a wider, more usable power band while also increasing horsepower and torque figures. The gains (for the price) are minimal, but they are great if your intention is to maximize naturally aspirated power.
A good set of Schrick cams from Turner Motorsport will set you back around $1,175. A ZHP camshaft retrofit kit from ECS Tuning costs only $412. Expect gains to be in the 10 HP range.
PERFORMANCE CAMS BOTTOM LINE: $41.20 - $117.50 per HP
We're not here to discuss which of these "sounds the best", but which is the best bang for the buck. Brand-name cat-back exhaust systems are going to be expensive. Tremendously expensive. You could always go to an exhaust shop and have them custom make you one, but you risk having shoddy work, minimal power gains, and (of course) a terrible exhaust note.
Cat-back exhaust systems can range anywhere from $750 to $1,500, each providing gains from 0 to 12 HP (assuming conditions are PERFECT). We'll go with a 5 HP gain along with a hell of a sweet sound.
EXHAUST BOTTOM LINE: $150.00 - $300.00 per HP (for engineered systems)
As you noticed, I did not include a differential swap in this guide. Reason being: It does not add or free up horsepower. It simply allows you to burn through your gears at a faster rate, letting torque and horsepower be more useable.
I hope you have gained some insight and some knowledge from this guide and hopefully it will answer questions many of you are probably going to ask anyway.
DISCLAIMER: All gains posted are advertised and reasonably expected with each upgrade. Real world gains could be more or could be less. A loss in power is also possible. Varying factors (such as wheel weight) have not been calculated in these claimed gains. By putting aftermarket parts on your car, you assume all responsibility and you know the possible risks associated with said parts. I am not held responsible for broken parts, losses of power, engine malfunction, wasted money, tickets written for emissions issues, and/or sad faces. You modify your car as you see fit. Everyone is unique. YOU ARE SPECIAL!
NOTE: This is a work in progress and I will try to update it regularly with information as it is received. If you see something that needs corrected, if you have a dyno chart, if you find other prices, shoot me a PM and I'll see the proper information gets added in the appropriate spots. Your participation is HIGHLY appreciated to help make this happen!

About 30 years ago, Carlton closed the door on Steven Trigg as an aspiring young wingman wanting to join the VFL, but today, the club opened it to welcome him as its new chief executive.
The former Central District captain, whose parents wanted him to be a doctor, joins the Blues as a replacement for Greg Swann, who had seven years at the club.
Trigg, 52, brings 17 years' experience from Adelaide, including almost 13 as chief executive, where he will remain in a limited capacity until he takes up his new tenure on August 18.
Adelaide chairman Rob Chapman said the club would advertise nationally and internationally for a replacement. Current club administrators David Noble and Nigel Smart are key candidates. Of the current AFL chief executives, only Brian Cook (Geelong) and Trevor Nisbett (West Coast Eagles) have been in the job longer than Trigg's term at Adelaide.
It was about one year ago that Trigg returned to work at the Adelaide Football Club, having been suspended for six months and heavily fined by the AFL for his key role in trying to rort the draft and salary cap system exposed with Kurt Tippett moving to the Sydney Swans, and not surprisingly it was a focus of Tuesday's announcement.
Trigg said that had the Tippett saga not evolved, it would not have changed his decision to accept an offer from Carlton, which he had been negotiating and considering for some weeks.
"I don't think it [Tippett] has changed a thing in terms of timing," he said. "I genuinely believe right throughout, call it as it is; I respected the game and it has respected me back. It would not have changed anything.
"There are some who would wish to put it as a headline and up in neon, but I would like to think the AFL has put it behind them. The clubs have, and we have internally, I promise you. We are better set up as a club, governance wise. I genuinely feel more knowledgable, more empowered by it. In every other way it is behind us."
However, as much as Chapman and Trigg try to shy from the Tippett legacy, there has been for the past 12 months a strong groundswell that Adelaide needed to make changes to its administration because of the impact and tainted image that had been left on the club.
Despite all of the outside criticism, Trigg has played a huge role in the club's development, especially relating to the establishment of a new training and administration facility at West Lakes, the development of a reserves team in the SANFL, and the move to Adelaide Oval.
Trigg's departure clashes with Adelaide's review with the Stadium Management Authority relating to the profit sharing from Adelaide Oval. However, Chapman said it was hoped this would be resolved within five weeks, and stressed Trigg would not be involved in player management or finance while he remains at the club. "There will be no conflict," Chapman said.
Trigg said there would be a better time than now to give a view about Carlton's player lists, the immediate tasks, and what vision might be needed.
"I see it [the move] as an opportunity because right now, in broad terms, I see it as a club with an upside," he said.
"There are a lot of initial tasks. Given the time frame, the priority will be getting to know the place, the people and list management, and who's who in the zoo, basically. In regards to particular individuals, I will leave it aside in terms of any judgment. That would be premature.
"I have spoken to Mick [coach Michael Malthouse] a couple of times over the years, but I don't really know him. I am looking forward to working with him … the tenure and success he has had in the game just demands respect, whether you are a CEO or a supporter."
Chapman on Tuesday described Trigg as "a powerful leader and administrator of the highest standard".
In a prepared statement, Carlton President Mark LoGiudice said Trigg's appointment came after an extensive recruitment process. "We have ensured that no stone has been left unturned in our search for a new chief executive," he said.
"With the assistance of [recruitment firm] Egon Zehnder we have run an extensive process to find the best candidate for the role, and I am pleased to announce that person is Steven Trigg.
"Steven was among a host of candidates from around the globe who were interviewed for this position. He impressed us with his business and football experience, and his vision to take our football club forward. Importantly, he comes with the AFL's full endorsement."

"These mothers instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in stroling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants who, as they grow up, either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country, to fight for the Pretender in Spain or sell themselves to the Barbadoes" (p. 2).
"The number of souls in this kingdom being usually reckoned one million and a half, of these I calculate there may be about two hundred thousand couple whose wives are breeders; from which number I subtract thirty thousand couple, who are able to maintain their own children, but this being granted, there will remain an hundred and seventy breeders. I again subtract fifty thousand, for those women who miscarry, or whose children die by accident or disease withing the year. There only remain an hundred and twenty thousand children of poor parents annually born" (p. 3).
"I have been assured by a knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasie or a ragoust" (p. 4).
"I do therefore humbly offer it to publick consideration, that of the hundred and twenty thousand children, already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for breed, where of only one fourth part to be males; which is more than we allow to sheep, black cattle, or swine, and my reason is, that these children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages, therefore, one male will be sufficient to serve four females" (p. 4).
"There are more children born in Roman Catholick countries about nine months after Lent, the markets will be more glutted than usual, because the number of Popish infants, is at least three, because the number of Popish infants, is at least three to one in this kingdom, and therefore it will have one other collateral advantage, by lessening the number of Papists among us" (p. 5).
"Those who are more thrifty my flea the carcass; the skin of which, artificially dressed, will make admirable gloves for ladies, and summer boots for fine gentlemen" (p. 5).
"Some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and I have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance" (p. 7).
"And as to the young labourers, they are now in almost as hopeful a condition. They cannot get work, and consequently pine away from want of nourishment to a degree, that if at any time they are accidentally hired to common labour, they have not strength to perform it, and thus the country and themselves are happily delivered from the evils to come" (p. 7).
"For first, as I have already observed, it would greatly lessen the number of Papists, with whom we are yearly over-run" (p. 7).
"And the money will circulate among ourselves, the goods being entirely of own growth and manufacture" (p. 7).
"It would encrease the care and tenderness of mothers towards their children, when they were sure of a settlement for life to the poor babes, provided in some sort by the publick, to their annual profit instead of expence" (p. 8).
"I can think of no objection, that will possibly be raised against this proposal, unless it should be urged, that the number of people will be thereby much lessened in the kingdom" " (p. 9).
"I calculate my remedy for this one individual Kingdom of Ireland, and for no other that ever was, is, or, I think, ever can be upon Earth. Therefore let no man talk to me of other expedients" (p. 9).
