Ahmad Brooks spoke publicly for the first time Thursday night since the Santa Clara County District Attorney's office investigated allegations that Brooks repeatedly hit a teammate on the head with a beer bottle in a June incident. No assault charges were filed because of insufficient evidence.
"I have nothing to say about it right now," Brooks said after San Francisco's 10-6 exhibition loss to the Denver Broncos. "It's a distraction to the team and I just want to move forward. It's in the past. What happened obviously happened. It's a distraction to the team, so I don't think it needs to be talked about. It's not about football, and that's how I want to approach it."
According to police, Brooks hit teammate Lamar Divens with the bottle three times and then punched him in the face during an early morning argument June 8. Divens sustained a 3-inch cut on his forehead.
Police statements said Brooks, Divens and others had been drinking and went to a bar before returning to Brooks' house. Divens pretended to throw Brooks' keys in the grass, though he had actually held onto the keys, prompting the attack. Investigators were told Brooks was intoxicated and had threatened to get a gun.
A memo released by the district attorney's office in announcing the dismissal of the case stated that Brooks and Divens had a history — with altercations at Brooks' home in both May and June.
The 29-year-old Brooks, a seven-year NFL veteran, started every regular-season game last season for the NFC champion Niners, who lost to Baltimore 34-31 in the Super Bowl. Brooks had 46 tackles, 6 1-2 sacks, an interception and two forced fumbles in his fifth season with San Francisco.
He was a third-round pick by Cincinnati out of Virginia in the 2006 supplemental draft.
Safety Donte Whitner said last month that he had spoken with Brooks. Whitner said, "He's tremendously sorry for what he did, anybody would be embarrassed."
"There was no apology needed," Brooks said. "I had nothing to say about it."

Jam Player - Time and Pitch Audio Player
By Positive Grid Inc
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Slow down your music, adjust to different pitch.
Jam Player is a simple-to-use, yet enormously powerful app for instrument players, singers, dancers and musicians, that promises to make learning, transcription and practicing songs a lot easier by slowing down the tempo, adjusting the pitch, repeating loops.
Simply load a song directly from the iTunes library, i.e. playlist, album, songs and artist. Direct access, no need to import or other steps.
The Speed control knob can then be used to slow down the tempo of the song without affecting its pitch. For instance, a super-fast guitar solo could be slowed significantly to make it easier to learn, and then sped up periodically as the player becomes more comfortable with it.
The Pitch control raises and lowers the pitch but has no impact on the tempo, and it's a great way for a singer who's learning a song to change the key of the original track to match his or her vocal range.
Using the Speed and Pitch controls in tandem allows for manipulation of both variables. The app's sophisticated pitch and time algorithms provide stunningly good results, even at extreme settings.
- load song from your iTunes library
- speed control from 0.25x to 2.0x
- pitch control from -5 to +5
- tap AB to create a loop
- works with Audiobus
- automatic knob control (support linear or rotary gesture)
- does not support DRM protected files
More Information:
What's New in Version 2.1.2
- Added Audiobus support, now you can change the pitch or speed of your music, and work with GarageBand, JamUp XT and many other music apps.
- Improved knob control detection, automatic detection of vertical or rotary knob gesture.
Customer Reviews
This is a perfect app for anyone that likes to do covers of songs. The interface is simple and easy to use . I love being able to quickly import songs and adjust playback speed and pitch without any hassle. I highly recommend this app!
Fantastically perfect!
I rarely write reviews, but I had to for this app! Works perfectly! Only thing I'd note is it skips a lot when running in the background. Not much of a problem considering it won't be used in the background most of the time. 5-stars!
Nice, but useless to me without import from email
Unfortunately there is no way to import a file from email. So many other audio stretching apps can do this (like, uh, audiostretch, for instance.) If it were an option with this app, I'd be recommending it to students without a reservation. Love the interface.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) Three German climbers released nearly two weeks after being kidnapping by Kurdish rebels flew home to Germany on Monday, a report said.
The three men boarded a Lufthansa flight for Munich, the state-run Anatolia news agency said.
They were released Sunday, more than a week after being abducted July 8 during a climbing expedition on Mount Ararat in eastern Agri Province. The rebels had said they took them hostage to protest a German crackdown on supporters of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, known as the PKK.
PKK guerrillas have been fighting for self-rule in southeastern Turkey since 1984.
"They should have understood by now that nothing can be achieved by force and by putting the lives of people at risk," Deputy Prime Minister Cemil Cicek told a news conference Monday.
He said the 25-year-long PKK campaign has cost Turkey more than $300 billion. Tens of thousands of people have died.

Made to Order.
Delivery time usually 3-4 weeks.
A beautiful playhouse that will help expand your children's imaginations and make the most of playing outdoors whatever the weather.
This robust cottage has lots of room for group activities and can even be used to store play equipment.
Supplied with a base coat treatment but we advise that the timber is treated with a high quality wood preservative at least every two years. The playhouse will need to be installed on a flat surface.
The delivery was arranged in a timely manner, the installation team were very good, helpful and very efficient. Would recommend the cottage and the installation both as excellent. Thank you.

The plot is reminiscent of an episode of a Star Trek episode in which an insane asylum's residents break loose and play mind games with the Enterprise crew. Throw Leslie Nielsen into the mix as ringleader and it's just difficult to take seriously.
Still, it's gripping and the characters are vivid, to say the least. So score points for not being dull.

The earliest starting time since 1987 didn't help TV ratings for Fox's coverage of Game 3 of the the 2010 World Series Saturday night.
UPDATE: Sunday night NFL outdraws Game 4
The Texas Rangers 4-2 win over the San Francisco Giants drew a 6.7 TV rating (percentage of TV homes), the second-lowest ever for a World Series game. The only World Series telecast to suffer a lower rating was Game 3 of the 2008 series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays. That game was delayed 90 minutes by rain and didn't get going until after 10 p.m ET.
Unless the Rangers and pitcher Cliff Lee can claw back tonight in Game 5 from a 3-1 deficit against Giants ace Tim Lincecum, this year's Giants-Rangers World Series could be the second-lowest ever behind Phillies-Rays. Through the first 3 games, Fox's coverage averaged an 8.1 rating, down 26% from the first three games of the New York Yankees-Philadelphia Phillies in 2009. But up 5% from the first three games of Phillies-Tampa Bay Rays two years ago, the last series that didn't feature the Yankees or Boston Red Sox.
Fox's Game 5 coverage will have to compete for viewers with ESPN's Monday Night Football telecast of an NFL AFC South showdown between Peyton Manning's Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans and ABC's highly-rated Dancing with the Stars.

The Void, mentioned as a "space beyond space" that connects parallel universes, is another world beside the World of Dusk in Final Fantasy Dimensions. Within it lies the power of Nil.
At some point during his life, Elgo, the emperor of Avalonian Empire, discovered the Void and the power of Nil within it. He intended to use this power to gather all the crystals and gain immortality.
The Warriors of Light and Darkness have to travel into the Void to collect several pieces of Dark Matter. After defeating Imperio and Gehenna, the warriors have to go into the Void to find the emperor. Inside the Void, they defeat the Blades of Nil and restore Hope, Trust, Dreams and Love to those who have been trapped inside the Void during the Dimensional Shift. They also defeat the Dark Flow but Vata has to sacrifice himself.
Finally, the warriors manage to defeat the emperor inside the Void and run back to the World of Dusk before a massive amount of Light energy, which was absorbed by Nil, hits them. They are aided by the soul of Gramps, Vata and The Mask.

Technology start-ups that have a finance director are more likely to succeed than rivals without an FD, according to research.
Research into 100 successful technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) start-up, and 50 unsuccessful ones by accounting firm CBW found that finance directors helped boost sales"using less cash but operating at lower margins".
FDs also help businesses to sell equity to further boost growth, and an FD allows a TMT start-up's management to "put its foot down hard on the growth accelerator," the research found.

Are there age restrictions?
Children are welcome, but please bear in mind that some children have a limited attention span and therefore a 2-3 hour tour or event may not be appropriate for them. Parents know their children best and should assess the situation individually. Since there is a lot of standing, walking, and congestion, please consider this when deciding whether the tours and events are appropriate for your child.
If your child is 2 years of age or younger and will not be eating, you will not need to purchase a ticket for him/her. If your child is 3 years of age or older, you will need to purchase a ticket for him/her, regardless if he/she will be eating.

London: Essex batsman Ravi Bopara says he is fully prepared to play if the England selection committee selects him for England's first test of the summer against Bangladesh at Lords, starting on May 27.
Bopara has not featured in the five day format game since last summer but he took advantage of his selection for the second-string England Lions against the tourists at Derby by taking 7-23 in the match and scoring 28 in the second innings.
He believes he would be on top of his game if he is recalled in the side for the Test series.
"I've had no indication yet (from the selectors) but I'm just hoping and keeping my fingers crossed that I am in the squad," he said to skysports reporters.
"Hopefully there's a spot available there for me and I can take it, score some runs and set myself up for the summer. I'm not undercooked, I'm ready.
He also admitted that sitting out of the England side for a year has really helped him to become more competitive and he is hungry to perform well and get back into the England side.

AN: In St. Mungo's as Minerva's recovering from her attack, set towards the end of Order of the Phoenix obviously.
"Minerva, I got here as soon as I could."
"Albus," she greeted wearily, rolling over on her hospital bed to face the doorway. Albus stood there, looking younger and happier than he had in a long time. Clearly his exile had suited him. His eyes were twinkling down at her, and she once again wished that he was her actual father, and then remembered how much pain killer potion she was on and tried to make her mind follow more conventional thought lines.
"Minerva, you look positively awful," he said cheerfully, and came to sit beside her on her bed. He patted her head gently and stroked her hair away from her face.
"Don't flatter me, Albus." She grimaced as she tried to sit up.
"No, no, don't try to sit up. The healer told me your ribs aren't healing as well as he'd hoped," he gently pushed her back down and she happily cuddled back down under her blankets.
"Good to know I'm finally succumbing to old age. What's your secret?"
He winked at her over his half-moon spectacles, "I think you know that's a chapter in my memoirs you won't get to see for hopefully a very long time."
"How is…how is Hogwarts?" She asked tiredly.
"I should rather be asking you the same question," he replied.
She snorted, "Do you want me to rest or do you want me to rant about that wretched old…wretched old tea cozy?"
Dumbledore chuckled and patted her on the head again,
"Well that I can answer to. The 'tea cozy' had quite the scare in the Forbidden Forest and has been quite altered since. She has returned to the Ministry with her tail between her legs."
"Haha," she laughed contentedly, "Tea cozy with a tail between its legs."
"I see someone's been enjoying their pain killer potion."
She nodded, "When I was a child and I had appendicitis and I had the surgery they gave me morphine after. This is way better than that."
"One of the many advantages to being a witch my dear Minerva."
She nodded. She had never regretted leaving behind her Muggle upbringing, and had not been in Muggle society since her father's funeral, now many years ago. But the memories were still fond to recall, especially the toys she had grown up with, the playgrounds, the elementary school years.
"Severus wanted to be here," Dumbledore said quietly, bringing her joy-trip through memory lane to a screeching halt.
"What?" Minerva asked. Her head was filled with cotton balls but she thought Dumbledore had said Severus had wanted to come see her, and the thought made her smile.
"Severus said that he wanted to come but that you might not want him here."
Her smile died on her lips.
"Is this true Minerva?"
She shrugged sadly, and Dumbledore thought she looked for all the world like a sad teenager lost in love, no different from one of the students.
"Did something happen between you?"
She laughed bitterly, "You could say that. Once Umbridge took over, and I couldn't control myself…he didn't want anything to do with me. And then…it's not important. Nothing that you should concern yourself with."
Dumbledore scrutinized her stalwart expression for a moment more and then sighed and clapped his hands, "Well, whatever it was he certainly seemed sorry about it. And gathering your expression he rightly should be I would imagine. I should get back to the castle. We are going to ceremoniously take down all those ridiculous educational decrees."
"Wish I could be there," she said so wistfully that Dumbledore laughed out loud.
"You'll be right as rain by tomorrow the healer tells me."
"Right as rain, haha," she laughed again.
"All right, I think that's my cue to leave," Dumbledore said, leaned down and kissed her on the head, "Poppy and Pomona will be over tomorrow afternoon to bring you home."
She nodded, her eyes drifting closed. She tried to replay childhood scenes in her mind, but now all she could think of was Snape. The Snape from years ago, sullen, resentful, and utterly adorable and vulnerable. She wondered where he had gone. And where the woman who had seduced him had gone. She missed her too.
There she stood, like nothing had happened. She was limping, walking stiffly with a cane, carrying that blasted ancient carpet bag of hers, and daring, as usual to undermine his authority with the students. And he had never been gladder to see the infuriating woman in his whole life. He could hardly form a reasonable thought besides, 'thank God', and 'she's all right', and now she was sending Crabbe and Goyle off with her carpetbag, and Harry and Draco were wandering away in opposite directions, and now it was just the two of them in the corridor. And he was like a schoolboy again. He had already tried to apologize a hundred times for what he had done to her a few months before, and he knew the apologies meant nothing to her. It wasn't that he wasn't sorry, he was, of course he was sorry. He was a thousand times sorry. But he just knew that an apology could never make it right, and so they always sounded false even to his own ears. But here she was; here was his chance to say it again.
"Severus," she said kindly, "How are you?"
"I'm…I'm sorry," he said.
"I know," she said, again in that irritatingly kind and compassionate voice, "I knew you were sorry even as it was happening. And I've realized I can't forgive you. It's simply not in my nature. But I will try to forget, and we can be friends again."
She held out her bony hand, her facial expression dead calm, her eyes steady, watching his, calculating his reaction, just as he was calculating hers. Cautious as always, he hesitantly he took her hand and shook it. Dying to make her offer of her hand mean something, dying to make their touch reminiscent somehow, dying to make her love him again. But his face remained as impassive as ever. She felt anger surge against him when she saw that he was unmoved as always, even now. He released her hand coldly and stepped back.
"There," she said, "I'm going to unpack. I'll see you at the feast." She nodded to him and turned to go, as stately as a cat, even with her cane.
"Damn it," he muttered. He had lost his only friend…pretty much his only friend ever. And there would be no forgiveness for him. But he already knew that. He'd known that since he'd stepped through Hogwarts' door sixteen years ago and decided to fight against the Dark Lord. And more importantly, he'd known that since Lily Evans died. And now he'd pushed away the only woman who had ever made him forget that he was damned.

|Saint Hierotheos
|The Thesmothete
|Venerated in
Eastern Orthodox Church
Eastern Catholic Churches
|October 4
Hierotheos the Thesmothete (Greek: θεσμοθέτης Ἱερόθεος) is the reputed first head and bishop of the Christian Athenians. The title thesmothete means ruler, or junior archon, of Athens (literally "law-giver").
Little is known of Hierotheos (Ἰερόθεος "sanctified by God"); church tradition holds that he was one of the learned men in the city of Athens. He was instructed in Christianity by the Apostle Paul, who baptized and ordained him around the year 53. Hierotheos frequently visited and instructed St. Dionysius the Areopagite. There is disagreement as to whether Hierotheos was actually a priest or bishop; some traditions describe Dionysius as the first bishop of Athens.[1] The fifth century Neoplatonist, Pseudo-Dionysius spoke of Hierotheos. However, Pseudo-Dionysius adopted the earlier Dionysius as a pseudonym and literary device and thus he did not in fact know the original Hierotheos and the description of Hierotheos and his works that Pseudo Dionysius supplied was either purely fictional or a veiled tribute to a fifth century contemporary of Pseudo-Dionysius. Thus there was an Hierotheos and there was also a Pseudo-Hierotheos.
According to Pseudo-Dionysius (On the Divine Names, 3:2), Hierotheos was an accomplished hymnographer:
- "He was wholly transported, wholly outside himself and was so deeply absorbed in communion with the sacred things he celebrated in hymnology, that to all who heard him and saw him and knew him, and yet knew him not, he seemed to be inspired of God, a divine hymnographer." [2]
Hierotheos and the Dormition of the Theotokos
Hierotheos was reportedly present during the dormition of the Theotokos (Mary, the Mother of God),[3] and he stood in the midst of the apostles and comforted them with spiritual songs and hymns which he sang accompanied with musical instruments.[4]

Connor´s search for the gang and the traitor began. He took his guns and was preparing his horse when Charlie appeared next to him. As a friend of Fred and his, he offered to go with him, but Connor insisted it was something he had to do on his own.
Tuesday morning he left home, he left his town, his friends, and his job, to become what he always was, a justifier. Twin Rocks was the first place. After cleaning the place, full of Walton´s boys, he heard a voice coming from inside a bedroom. He was almost sure of who it was. He took cover behind a wall and breached the room.
He found a hostage. His name,Dr. Lane Davis, a poor man from Blackwater that worked in the streets, helping poor people that couldn´t pay for a doctor. After setting him free, he told Connor about how he ended there, how they burned his house with his family there, the kind of men they were. They saw life from two diferent perspectives, but they both wanted the same thing: Revenge.
Warthigtington´s ranch was the second. He found evidence that Seth La Valley used to frequent this place to make his gold transactions. Footsteps lead to the barn. Connor Callahan went to cover next to the front door, while Lane was entering from the ceiling. The plan was simple, Lane would carefully listen the conversations, and in case something went wrong, Connor would make his appearance. Lane was following the plan perfectly, he heard things about an attack in Benedict Point, were they would take hostages and were planning to earn five million dollars on rescues. And the name suddenly appeared in their conversation, La Valley.
The floor dropped below his feet, and he hit the ground hard. Cooper Reed from Walton´s gang turned back and aimed his revolver, so did his gang mates. Then Connor Callahan broke in. His shining semi-automatic pistol delivered shots to the criminal´s heads, all of them except one, Mr. Cooper Reed. They had the key. Dr. Lane Davis stood up, with just a scratch. A large and painful interroganting session was waiting for Reed and he knew it.

Brazil doctors' government backs abortion change
As the Economic council chair in Brazil debates alter of abortion rules, the body which regulates

The Federal Local authority or council of Medicine considered necessary the legalisation in terminations during the primary 12 weeks of pregnancy. Currently, it is usually allowed mainly in cases from rape, unnatural brain evolution or if your mother's a lot more at risk. But yet wider alternative of abortion
Elder Scrolls Online Power Leveling
is opposed by the Roman Catholic house of worship. Nearly a quarter of a million girls a year try to find treatment during hospitals right after undergoing detrimental procedures, the particular doctors' council suggested. "It's important to discuss that it's possibly not been decided that the (27 regional) Councils of Medicine can be favourable for you to abortion, instead this is basically the autonomy of ladies and clinical professionals," obama of the FCM, Roberto Luiz D'Avila, authored on the fact. 'Violence and death' Brazilian senators are currently looking into an offer put together by law firm and industry professionals to change the present criminal code. The amendment will add various cases when terminations would not be regarded as a crime: Relating to request as many as 12 weeks into your pregnancy Within the of foetal anomalies that would help to make life improbable after delivery When the pregnant state is the response to insemination or in-vitro fertilisation without consent. Any reforms, then again, are get together strong challenge in the country, specially from the Roman Catholic religious. "What we give some thought to serious in such a context would be the 'educational', or rather, the actual 'diseducational' power that a necessary body for example, the Federal Neighborhood of Medicine carries - the facility to create mentalities," Bishop Joao Carlos Petrini, from the robust National Meeting of Bishops, said to newspaper Folha l'ordre de Sao Paulo. The doctors' council approval only strengthens a "mentality of which favours physical violence and death", your dog added. The Brazil senators recently slowed a timeline to present his / her findings to the controversial alter. Abortions are outlawed in most cases in your majority of Latina American locations, with the exception of Uruguay, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guyana as well as French Guyana.

Washington (AFP) Nov 16, 2010
Prospects for US Senate ratification of a landmark nuclear treaty with Russia this year dimmed Tuesday as a top lawmaker said he doubted the pact could be approved before 2011.
"This is a very complicated process. It cannot be done overnight," the chamber's number-two Republican, Jon Kyl, said when asked about fate of the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START). "There's still a lot to be done."
But US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, speaking after a Senate hearing on US government employee security clearances, reiterated his support for the accord and said he hoped it would be passed soon.
"I think the earlier, the sooner, the better. You know, my thing is: From an intelligence perspective only, are we better off with it or without it? We're better off with it," Clapper told AFP.
Kyl said Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had telephoned him Monday to ask whether Republican concerns about the treaty had diminished enough for the chamber to take it up in a year-end "lame duck" session.
"I replied I did not think so given the combination of other work Congress must do and the complex and unresolved issues related to START and modernization" of the US nuclear arsenal, Kyl said in a statement.
But State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said "it remains the Obama administration's belief that the ... New START treaty is in our national interest. And we believe it should be voted upon in this lame-duck session."
The administration "believes that we've answered all of their questions," he said.
"We've addressed their concerns, including concerns that Senator Kyl and others have expressed about ensuring that there is an effective modernization program as a companion to the New START treaty," Crowley added.
A senior State Department official, speaking to reporters on the condition of anonymity, expressed "disappointment" with Kyl's comments and said Clinton would discuss START and other business when she meets senators on Wednesday.
The START treaty -- signed by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and US President Barack Obama in Prague in April -- restricts each nation to a maximum of 1,550 deployed warheads, a cut of about 30 percent from a limit set in 2002.
But Republicans have said they need to be sure that the US nuclear arsenal will be modernized to remain a credible deterrent and that the treaty will not hamper US missile defense efforts.
US Senate ratification requires 67 votes out of 100.
Republicans will have 47 votes when the next Congress convenes in January, up from 41, after routing Obama's Democratic allies in November 2 elections.

By Chuck Gormley, (Cherry Hill, N.J.) Courier-Post
PHILADELPHIA Having been rejected by pricey veterans Evgeni Nabokov and Marty Turco, the Philadelphia Flyers have turned the starting goaltending duties back to the man who carried them to within two wins of the Stanley Cup.
The Flyers and Michael Leighton agreed to a two-year, $3.1 million contract late Wednesday that should put to rest questions surrounding the Flyers' goaltending plans for next season.
Leighton, 29, will earn $1.5 million next season and $1.6 million in 2011-12 for a cap hit of $1.55 million.
NET DECISIONS: Top free-agent goalies
The deal is beneficial for the Flyers, who now have roughly $5 million to spend in Thursday's free-agent market, and for Leighton, who has the security of a multi-year contract for the first time in his nine-year professional career.
"Michael came to our team in December last year and played extremely well for us in the regular season and the playoffs," Holmgren said. "Michael is an athletic goalie who we feel is just coming into his own as an NHL goaltender and we look forward to Michael building on the level of play he established this past season."
Placed on waivers four times in the last four years, Leighton,29, enjoyed a breakout year with the Flyers last season, going 16-5-2 with a 2.48 goals-against average in the regular season and 8-3 with a 2.46 GAA in the playoffs.
After the season, several teammates endorsed Leighton as the club's No. 1 goaltender, but Holmgren spent much of last weekend courting the agents for Nabokov and Turco, each of whom will be seeking more than $3 million a season when the free agent market opens today at noon.
It is entirely possible Holmgren simply wanted to establish a dollar value for Nabokov and Turco while also turning up the heat on Leighton to accept a deal slightly below his value on the open market.
"Obviously, I want to come out and be the No. 1 guy here," Leighton said. "Obviously, when you hear (the Flyers made offers to Nabokov and Turco) it puts you down a little bit, but either way I'll be fighting for a No. 1 job. To get it, I'll need to be better next year. Even if they sign Turco or Nabokov it doesn't change what I have to do.
"All (the Flyers) said to me was regardless of what they do, I'll get the chance to play. If they don't get anyone else, I'll still be fighting Boosh (Brian Boucher) or (Johan) Backlund for the No. 1 job. Same thing if they (sign) somebody. But they didn't flat out tell me, yes, I'm No.1 or No. 2."
If the Flyers are satisfied with their goaltending trio of Leighton, Boucher, 33, and Backlund, 28, they'll turn their attention Thursday to filling holes on the blue line and possibly right wing through free agency.
Operating under the premise the Flyers will commit an estimated $5.5 million to restricted free agents Braydon Coburn ($3.5 million), Dan Carcillo ($1.1 million) and Darroll Powe ($900,000), Holmgren should come to the free agent table with roughly $5 million in spending money.
That's not much, especially when you consider the Flyers would like to enter the season with a salary cushion for potential trades. But it should be enough to land a quality defenseman and possibly a right wing with some scoring punch.
The most attractive defensemen on Thursday's free agent list are Anton Volchenkov, Sergei Gonchar and Dan Hamhuis, followed by Kurtis Foster, Zbynek Michalek, Henrik Tallinder, Toni Lydman and Paul Martin.
Whom the Flyers select from that list might be determined by their asking prices. Gonchar is believed to be seeking close to the $5.5 million he earned with the Penguins last season, which the Flyers won't do.
Volchenkov, 28, is a fierce, shot-blocking defenseman. He earned $3.2 million with Ottawa last season. He'll want about $4.5 million a season.
Hamhuis, 27, is also looking for a big payday after earning $2.5 million in Nashville.
An all-around defenseman who can play the power play and kill penalties, Hamhuis already has rejected one Flyers offer, but Holmgren said he's confident a sweeter deal, perhaps averaging $4 million, will lure him to Philadelphia.
If the Flyers are unable to land Volchenkov or Hamhuis, next on their list would be Michalek, 27, and Foster, 28.
Because of his age, Michalek is one of the hottest free agents on the market and that will drive up his salary, which was just $1.5 million for the Coyotes last season. Like Volchenkov, he's a shot-blocking defensive defenseman.
Foster is intriguing because of his size (6-5, 223) and offensive potential.
The Flyers can take several different approaches to fill their need for a right wing.
If they go the free-agent route, they can sign a veteran like Bill Guerin, who at 39 showed he still has some life with 21 goals last season, or take a flier on 29-year-old right wing Jonathan Cheechoo, who five seasons ago scored 56 goals but had just five last season with the Ottawa Senators.
Or they could get real creative and trade center Jeff Carter, who will make $5 million in the final year of his contract, for the Anaheim Ducks' Bobby Ryan, a Cherry Hill native and restricted free agent who could not come to terms with the Ducks.
Ryan, 23, netted a career-high 35 goals and 64 points in his third season with the Ducks.

'Flipping Out' Stars Jenni Pulos and Zoila Chavez Dish on Jenni's Big Fat Greek Wedding: 'I Have My Gay Husband and Now I Have My Straight Husband' (VIDEO)

As the final moments of summer pass through the hourglass, we wanted to take a little tour through the season that was and ask IL's fans — what was YOUR favorite weekend of the summer of 2010.
From recruiting tournaments to world championships to MLL and LXM events, there was a LOT going on from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and we feel like everybody has a different pinnacle. To jog your memory, we've gone through and fired up a little trip down memory lane with the big moments from each weekend between the two bookend holiday weekends, so chime in with your top summer weekend below in the comments.
We were still recovering from the NCAA Championship weekend, but we got to catch some solid action, as the MLL Draft allowed us to check out a college all-star team top Team USA (remember when we were scared about how they would look in Manchester) as well as some big high school playoff action. Kyle Devitte graded the draft itself and we learned that Jacksonville would join the MAAC for 2011.
A big high school championship weekend hit in mid-June, with the New York state championships headlining, Connecticut, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Virginia also deciding their champions. MLL fans got to take their first look at the new rookie crop as the season neared the midpoint.
As the world recovered from the news that Jeff Tambroni was leaving Cornell for Penn State (and Ben DeLuca was taking over for the Big Red), Team USA was again in action, earning a win over a Philadelphia All-Star team at Lehigh. Recruiting also began to get rolling, with the Denver Shootout kicking off in the Mile High city.
One of the headline events of the recruiting circuit — Jake Reed's Blue Chip Camp straddled this weekend, which also saw Long Island Empire Showcase (on Thursday) and the UPLax Tournament. Quint and Terry Foy discussed the MLL at the midpoint, and the Vail Shootout got underway in Colorado.
Fireworks were everywhere (cliche alert!) over the holiday weekend, as the Under Armour All-America Classic went off in Baltimore with the North winning the boys senior game, as well as the south, though by a far closer margin. Several players impressed, while the underclassmen also got their chance to see and be seen. Out west, the Vail tournament wrapped up, while over 20,000 were on hand for the Outlaws' annual 4th of July lacrosse and fireworks spectacular.
Recruiting season continued its grind, with the Adidas Classic, Syracuse Shootout and Warrior 40 headlining the busy weekend. This weekend was also when we got the first indications of what would become the huge story of the FIL Championships, as the Iroquois passport issues came to light. The coaching carousel also had a big weekend, as Chris Wojcik captured the Harvard job, replacing John Tillman (Maryland).
A sad day for the game came on what should have been one of the year's high points, as the Iroquois officially ran out of time in their dream of making it to the World Games. The action was underway in England, with Canada edging the United States in group play (while the MLL took the weekend off). Recruiting had another busy weekend (go figure), headlined by a Long Island-Maryland showdown.
The FIL World Games came to a close with Team USA able to complete its trail of redemption by topping Canada in the Gold Medal game, led by MVP Paul Rabil. Stateside, the MLL got back on track after a one week hiatus, and recruiting continued to grind it out, headlined by the return of the Empire State games after a year off.
After a whirlwind month, the recruiting calendar was all but finished up as July changed to August, with the first-ever NSCLA championships taking place in Germantown, Maryland. VMI tapped Brian Anken as their new coach, and the MLL saw a major record fall as Long Island's Tim Goettelman became the league's all-time scoring leader (and Boston clinched the top seed in the upcoming Championship weekend by routing Denver).
John Jiloty was as prevalent at the 2010 Lake Placid Summit Classic as mohawks, and he had his camera snapping the whole time. Rusty Red defended their title with a Masters Championship game win over Burnt Orange, adding more fuel to the long but newly re-energized Cornell-Syracuse rivalry. Graph-Tex won its seventh Lake Placid Championship. Also, the 3rd annual "We Believe" Lacrosse Classic went off at South River High School to continue the fight against cancer.
Terry Foy and Joe Sweeney took to Maryland's Eastern Shore, documenting the tournament's best uniforms while mixing in some odd sights around the field. In the end, Jack Lingo Realty took home the title on the back of a strong performance from Joe Walters.
In Saturday's first MLL semifinal, Chesapeake ran past Boston in a surprising upset. Then, Long Island guaranteed a return to the league's early championship matchups by outlasting Denver. The Bayhawks then got an inspired defensive performance in upending the Lizards 13-9, becoming the first-ever No. 4 seed to win a title.
The IL Gear Zone got a sneak peak at the custom equipment, IL got up to speed with some of the big names, and LXM 610 did not disappoint, featuring a concert from Wale and a nail-biting game that saw middie Jimmy Borell earn MVP honors.

Inspector Morse 9: The Last Enemy
It's all in a day's work for quick-witted Inspector Morse (John Thaw), an Oxford-educated cop who always succeeds on the job but usually fails to impress his superiors, in this long-running BBC series based on the novels of Colin Dexter. This installment finds Morse and Sgt. Lewis (Kevin Whately) questioning an unlikely group of distinguished suspects when a decapitated body turns up near a college campus.
