There was little mystery about the top two overall picks in the 2012 NFL Draft. Andrew Luck went No. 1, Robert Griffin III went No. 2, and the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Redskins left the first round happy.
It's been much more difficult to pinpoint the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars' 1-2 combo in the 2013 NFL Draft. As there isn't a can't-miss quarterback prospect in the class, let alone two, the buzz about the best available athletes isn't the same. There are two promising athletes who can please those teams' new general managers, and just as important, their fan bases.
This year's draft, which begins at 8 p.m. ET, remains heavily related to quarterback play. Nimble pass protectors are pitted against explosive edge pass rushers in the battle for top-10 supremacy. That will begin right away with Central Michigan's Eric Fisher and Oregon's Dion Jordan coming off the board 1-2.
— Seven-round mock draft | What you need to know | Draft Big Board | Draft news update
Offensive and defensive linemen don't have enough sex appeal, you say? Watching the 6-7, 306-pound Fisher glide on the outside, the Chiefs know they will get a franchise left tackle for new starting quarterback Alex Smith. With the way Jordan flies upfield, it's been easy for the Jaguars to see how he's the ideal end with whom new defensive-minded coach Gus Bradley can revive a dormant sack attack.
There's a fine same-position alternative to Fisher — Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel. But as the players are otherwise equal as talents, Fisher is a little taller and little more athletic, making him the right choice for the Chiefs over Joeckel.
As for Jordan, he doesn't come with the questions that are attached to accomplished pass-rush prospects such as Ezekiel Ansah, Barkevious Mingo and Jarvis Jones.
By this time in the predraft process, you've heard Fisher vs. Joeckel and Jordan vs. the pass-rusher field dissected in every form of scoutspeak. But it's only fair for the pair to get in their last words before the biggest night of their lives.
Big Fish
Fisher grew up as the typical Michigan kid — an outdoors type who lists fishing and ice fishing among his hobbies, living up to his last name. Now Fisher is warming up to the fact he might be the draft's biggest catch.
"My whole life it's been my dream to get drafted into the NFL," Fisher told Sporting News. "I have to say, this dream has gone way farther than I ever imagined. It is kind of sinking in, just the fact I'm coming from a MAC school and a lot of people have me at the top of their boards."
Fisher had never been to New York City before draft week but has had to chance to settle in early, as he's front and center in Tide's "About Your Colors" campaign. Along with other NFL rookies to be, Fisher (@BigFish_79) will connect with his new team's fans via Twitter while sharing pride in his new team's colors.
As Fisher grew up just outside of Detroit, and with that team needing a tackle, Lions fans are hoping Fisher will somehow hang around until No. 5 overall.
"I've never really favored a team, but a lot of people in the Detroit area would love to see me in Honolulu Blue," Fisher said. "It would be cool, but I just want to play for any team."
Whether he ends up lifting up his hometown jersey, there should already be plenty of local pride in Fisher. He studied engineering at Central Michigan, inspired by his hard-working family that has manual labor in its blood, from firefighters to machinists. His grandfather worked for Ford for some 40 years. With that background, he's grounded in what he plans to do with his first NFL paycheck.
"I'll probably do what a lot of blue-collar people do with it and put in the bank," Fisher said.
If Fisher ends up with the Chiefs, it will be business as usual for Smith regarding his blindside protector. In San Francisco, Smith was well protected by two-time Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Staley, who won't last much longer as Central Michigan's sole NFL first-rounder.
Staley reconnected with Fisher in October to help him with several things that go into the long pre-draft process — finding an agent, getting a financial adviser and preparing for the Senior Bowl and Scouting Combine.
"It was just great to have such a great tackle to talk to in the league, one that you can relate to," Fisher said. "He's been there and done that what you're going through."
Once Fisher is in the NFL, he doesn't plan to change the things that got him there. "I got to this point in my life by being the person I am," Fisher said. "I just try to keep a level head and will keep on doing what I've been doing for the past 23 years of my life."
The one thing Fisher doesn't know is what it will be like to hear his name announced by commissioner Roger Goodell.
"I can't describe how I'll be feeling," he said. "You've worked for something for the past 10, 12 years, so when it finally happens it's going to be unreal."
Praying Mantis
Think of something green that quickly pursues its prey and you'll know why Jordan had this college nickname playing for the most verdant Ducks. So can Jordan maintain his primal attack mode against different, bigger, quicker animals in the NFL — such as Fisher — and deliver for a 4-3 team as pass rush-needy as the Jaguars? Just ask him.
"I'm very confident in my ability to get after the quarterback," Jordan told Sporting News. "I only did it for a few years at the university, but I still feel like it's a credit to my athletic ability and my speed. As long as I continue to work and improve my game, when I get to the next level I'll be able to excel."
Early in the pre-draft process, teams didn't know where to slot Jordan. He was looked like a middle-to-late first-rounder with a bullet, but after lighting it up at the Combine, he shot up into the top-five stratosphere. Jordan's rise to a potential top-two pick has taken him only "a little bit" by surprise.
"Honestly, this speaks to everything that I've done up to this point," Jordan said. "It shows that a lot of people have acknowledged my work. I don't pay attention to all the things that they say. I'm just excited about the process that's going on right now."
If Jordan doesn't end up in Jacksonville, the next red-hot spot for him is Philadelphia at No. 4. If you hadn't heard this offseason, the Eagles are now coached by Chip Kelly, Jordan's former head coach with the Ducks. Practicing against Kelly's high-tempo offense, Jordan says, only made him better.
"It prepared us for just about anything that we'll face because of the tempo," Jordan said. "Everyone on defense had to know what was going on because you have to be able to react fast and think fast."
Even though reuniting with Kelly would mean being drafted No. 4 instead of No. 2, the thought of landing with the Eagles has crossed his mind.
"I know coach, I know what he expects of his players — the standard that he holds guys to — so it would be a great opportunity," Jordan said. "But it's not up to me what happens."
Some think Jordan is a classic outside linebacker for a 3-4 — the Eagles' new scheme under Kelly — but at 6-6, 248 pounds, he has the versatility and build to thrive more in the Jaguars' remixed four-man front. Consider that Bradley developed Bruce Irvin into an explosive first-rounder in Seattle last season. He shouldn't pass on the more talented Jordan.
And rounding out the top 10 …
3. Oakland Raiders
Might take: Luke Joeckel. Shouldn't take: Geno Smith. Should take: Sharrif Floyd.
Oakland could use offensive line help, too, so the tackle who doesn't go to the Chiefs makes sense for them. They need a quarterback, but Smith isn't the right guy to bring into their mess. Floyd is just right, however, as the strong 4-3 tackle they desperately need after blowing up their front four in the offseason.
4. Philadelphia Eagles
Might take: Ezekiel Ansah. Shouldn't take: Dee Milliner. Should take: Geno Smith.
Ansah has the same appeal as Jordan—an explosive edge pass rusher who can get their new 3-4 off to a flying start. They cleaned house at corner, but this spot is a little high to take Milliner considering all their other needs. So Chip Kelly gets his quarterback.
5. Detroit Lions
Might take: Ansah. Shouldn't take: Milliner. Should take: Joeckel.
The Lions could use some help at corner, but they're in position to land a pass rusher or pass protector, the strengths of the early draft. They're hoping Fisher doesn't leave the state, but should have no issues "falling back" on Joeckel.
6. Cleveland Browns
Might take: Ansah. Shouldn't take: A quarterback. Should take: Milliner.
Cleveland could consider Ansah to jump-start Ray Horton's 3-4 attack, but Milliner — who could start opposite Joe Haden — is the best option.
7. Arizona Cardinals
Might take: Ansah. Shouldn't take: A quarterback. Should take: Lane Johnson.
Matt Barkley and Ryan Nassib are among the post-Smith options, but the Cardinals don't need to force a QB here after the Carson Palmer trade. If they stay put, they need Johnson, the third top left tackle in his class, to shore up their miserable line.
8. Buffalo Bills
Might take: Tavon Austin. Shouldn't take: Ryan Nassib. Should take: Ansah.
Just because the coaching staff is well connected to Nassib, the Bills can't lock into him here, knowing they'll have some options early in Round 2. Ansah would look good opposite Mario Williams.
9. New York Jets
Might take: Barkevous Mingo. Shouldn't take: Barkley. Should take: Austin.
The Jets love Mingo, but they also hold the No. 13 pick, too, after the Darrelle Revis trade. If they wait until then, they will be able to get Mingo or a cornerback to replace Revis. Quarterback is a consideration, but if Smith isn't available, it's doubtful they'll go back down the ex-USC path with Barkley. Here's a chance to get Mark Sanchez a much-needed big playmaker with fresh legs and bring some life to their offense.
10. Tennessee Titans
Might take: Jonathan Cooper. Shouldn't take: Mingo. Should take: Chance Warmack.
OK, we're sold on Tennessee taking the top guard in the draft, and both Cooper and Warmack are special run blockers. Warmack gets the slight nod. Even with the versatile Mingo able to help their base 4-3, he's more boom or bust while Warmack is a sure thing that addresses an interior line need.

Private schools are independently-financed learning institutions that provide more personalized classes than public schools do. Unlike public schools which receive taxpayer money, private schools receive their funding from tuition paid by families of students, grants from corporations and foundations, and other non-public sources. Because they don't receive public money, private schools have more freedom in choosing their curriculum and educational standards. Some private schools are religious schools, while others aren't.
How can I find an accredited Private School in my area?
Only a few U.S. states provide accreditation to private K-12 schools. Most private schools are accredited by non-public organizations. The best way to find out if a private school is accredited is to contact your local school board or ask the principal of the private school.
How much does Private School tuition cost?
Tuition fees for private schools vary greatly, depending on the geographic area and the school's curriculum.
What is the teacher-student ratio at Private Schools?
In general, the teacher-student ratios at private schools as lower than they are at public schools. Private schools usually have an average of one teacher for each 10 to 20 students, while public schools often have one teacher for every 20 to 30 students. With that said, the overall quality of education is the most important factor by which parents should choose a private school for their child.

COLUMBUS -- More than 1.4 million Ohioans have requested absentee ballots by mail since the state's early voting period started a few weeks back.
More than 618,000 of those ballots have been sent back to county election boards, and about 190,000 others have been cast by people in person.
With a week or so before Election Day, Republicans and Democrats are busy trying to explain why those stats add up to a victory for Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, respectively.
Here are their takes on what the early turnout statistics mean:
'Dramatic results'
The "unprecedented GOP ground game is producing dramatic results in absentee balloting and early voting," Republican National Committee Director Rick Wiley wrote in a memo to interested parties.
He noted that Republicans are outperforming Democrats on absentee requests and early voting.
Specifically, "Democrats are underperforming their share of 2008 AB/EV votes cast by 7.6 percentage points, while the GOP is over-performing their share by 5.94 points. The result is a net swing of plus-13.54 percentage points for Republicans."
He also noted that Republicans have "closed the gap on Democrats' historic absentee and early vote advantage for 15 of the past 16 days" and the GOP has "made almost 3.7 million volunteer voter contacts in Ohio. ..."
A separate GOP email contends that Democrats "are cannibalizing their high-propensity voters in absentee and early voting."
Or, more simply put, there are still a bunch of regular Republican voters who will likely cast ballots on Election Day, while regular Democratic voters are hitting the polls earlier.
'We're ahead'
Democrats, meanwhile, say early voting is giving them the advantage.
"Looking at the numbers," wrote National Field Director Jeremy Bird, "we're already ahead of ... where we were in 2008 and, most importantly, we're ahead of Mitt Romney."
He offered the following as evidence:
n "Counties and precincts that Obama won in 2008 are voting early at a higher rate than counties that voted Republican four years ago."
n "In counties that Obama won in 2008, 10 percent of registered voters have already cast their ballots, versus only 7 percent in Republican counties."
n "Voters in precincts that voted for Obama in 2008 have cast more than half (54 percent) of the 2012 ballots."
n "Voters in precincts that voted for Obama in 2008 have cast 53,000 more ballots this year than those in precincts that voted Republican in 2008. At this point four years ago, our lead in these same GOP precincts was just 30,000 ballots."
Which means?
There are a few firm conclusions to draw from such statistics.
Both campaigns have some really creative spin masters who are doing their best to electrify their masses and ensure their party faithful and not-so-faithful get to the polls sometime between now and the evening of Nov. 6.
We can expect to see a lot more of Obama and Romney and their surrogates between now and Election Day.
And they likely need Ohio to win -- but you already knew that, given the number of ads, robo-calls and canvassers knocking on your doors.

El Sawy Culturewheel will exhibit artworks it had initially excluded from its The Harvest of 2012 caricature exhibition following a meeting on Monday between Mohamed El-Sawy and members of the Creativity Front.
The Creativity Front, a league of artists and intellectuals committed to protecting freedom of speech and expression, had called for a boycott of the El Sawy Culturewheel, claiming that it had barred some of the artwork in order to "please the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafists."
Exhibitions coordinator at El Sawy, Tarek Zayed, told the Al-Ahram Arabic website that the entire episode was a misunderstanding.
Poet Gamal Bakheet, caricaturist Mohamed El-Sabagh and producer Mohamed El-Adl attended the meeting with Mohamed El-Sawy and Tarek Zayed.
El-Sawy, a close associate of the Muslim Brotherhood and a member of the Islamist-dominated constituent assembly that wrote the constitution, denied barring certain caricatures from its annual cartoon exhibition because they satirised or ridiculed the president and other Islamist figures. It also denied the exhibition would close four days early.
El-Sawy said the pieces in question were refused for technical reasons, including the poor colour and quality of printing, rather than their content. It referred to the presence of a cartoon criticising the government as proof of the absence of censorship at the exhibition.
Zayed said the excluded artworks are now technically fit to be shown at the exhibition, which runs until 9 January.
The cultural centre also said The Harvest of 2012, as well as other upcoming shows by the Egyptian Caricature Association, will continue to abide by the general policy of the El Sawy Culturewheel, "which is based on full respect for freedom of creativity and expression that has set it apart since its establishment in 2003."

William Carl Gardner III, the suspect in the November killing of Winters resident Leslie Pinkston began his arraignment Friday, and will continue the proceedings Thursday, Jan. 16.
The seats in Department 9 were filled with Pinkston's friends and family, weeping with each mention of her name.
Yolo Superior Court Judge David Rosenberg said that there was a conflict of interest in the Gardner case, and appointed J. Toney from the conflicts panel to defend him.
Toney, who had not had time to review the case materials, asked to have the arraignment postponed until a later date, which has been scheduled for Jan. 16, at 8:30 a.m. in Department 4. Gardner has yet to state his plea, and is currently being held without bail.
Gardner, 30, is charged with the Nov. 18 murder of Pinkston, 32. Pinkston was sitting in her car waiting to go to work on Railroad Avenue in downtown Winters when she was shot. Gardner is alleged to have shot his ex-girlfriend at least four times, and at least once in the head.
Gardner is also charged with enhancements of lying in wait and the intentional and personal discharge of a firearm causing death.
According to court documents, the crime occurred when Gardner was "released from custody on bail or own recognizance for a pending felony offense" and were added enhancements to his charges of murder, as well as possessing a firearm by a person previously convicted of a felony and stalking.
Between Nov. 15 and 18, the court states that Gardner committed a felony stalking charge after being been convicted of the same charge. According to documents, Gardner is accused of stalking after being convicted on domestic violence charges in March while in Sacramento County.
Gardner remains in custody at Yolo County Jail where he arrived before midnight on Monday, following an extradition from Las Vegas, in which he had fled following Pinkston's death.
Gardner gave himself up after barricading himself with a woman and child inside an apartment several miles from the Las Vegas Strip on Dec. 9, and was taken into custody on Dec. 10.

In northwest Mulgore, right on the border to Stonetalon Mountains, there is a small plateau area that is chock-full of prairie dogs, rabbits and mice. At first glance, this would appear similar to the icebergs in Northrend that were home to entire colonies of our small, suited companions. That is not the case here though, as these small critters house a deep, dark, and evil secret.
At random intervals, the critters will mutate, growing to several times their own size, and will don weapons and armor in order to do battle or exterminate the competition. The prairie dogs get spiked pit helmets that they clearly stole from Commander Schnottz and break out daggers to run their enemies through! Rabbits break out the axes, clearly having spent way too much time with orcs, and holding them between their teeth charge for their enemies! The mice, however, seem to be the most prepared, wearing helmets made from the skulls of the dead and dual wielding shotguns. I don't know about you, but I would hate to walk around the streets of Ogrimmar only to be greeted by a gang of shotgun-wielding mice.
If you want to go check it out, don't be dismayed if nothing is going on right when you get there. It takes a few seconds for them to mutate and start fighting, and you don't have to do anything but sit back and enjoy. Don't worry about them wanting to attack you; they are perfectly content to sit and war with themselves and ignore your presence. It's interesting to see little quirky things like this that made it to the live version of the game. The area is only accessible through flying, so one has to wonder what other things are hidden in the world for us to find. Special thanks to my friend Dan for letting me know about this place!

Topic: Thanking everyone who responded !
This is Rhonda again Bob's wife. Thank you for the responses and good wishes. This seems like a very caring group and I am glad to have found you all.
To answer a question, Bob did not get clear margins through surgery, that's presumably why the Docs did the chemo and radiation as soon as possible after surgery. Apparently the chemo and rads had some good effect also, because he did have almost a year without too many bouts of ill health. That is until just before this past Christmas.
Last Tuesday was Bob's first chemo treatment in office and he is taking Tarceva pills at home. He has reglan and ativan that he can use for nausea, be if he does not time the dose right he will still vomit. Sometimes he will anyhow ! I called his Doc and now Bob also has supositories, which Bob will not consider unless he's in dire straights ! With the meds for nausea, when he takes them he is pretty dopey and sleeps alot, so I guess it is a trade-off.
Bob is also extremely emotional and you just can't predict what will upset him. I should be clear he is not an angry man, he has been having crying jags. I feel so bad for him and I know this is all very hard to deal with. I do have a unigue prespective because I fought my own fight with cancer of the breast ,in june I had a double mastectomy. I know it's not the same and that atleast my cancer is well known and documented treatments are all around. I do feel that it helps to have been through the chemo and rads and have an idea what he is,atleast physically going through.
I am open to any suggestions on helping Bob in anyway possible! If in the mean time I can offer an ear for anyone else, I will be honored to do so .
Chemo again tomorrow, I hope Bob's blood counts are high enough for
Be Well, Rhonda

Train CrashSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
There was a train with exactly 87 people (including the conductor and driver). The train crashed and no one was killed, but on the police list, it said "2 dead".
How can this be?
HintThink before and after.
AnswerThe train was carrying 2 dead people already when the train crashed.

Last night I was chatting with friend who works as a financial adviser for one of the world's leading brokerage houses (I think their logo is of an animal) about all facets of investing. We went back and forth, dissecting our investing philosophies, covering topics such as how the Internet is affecting virtually all industries, today's market environment and, of course, the fiscal cliff. The talk naturally gravitated toward investment ideas. That's when he revealed an interesting fact: He is not allowed to invest in securities that trade for less than $6 a share, as they are deemed too risky.
I've always been aware that many investment funds have similar restrictions, but to hear it again just made me laugh out loud. I understand and appreciate the need for the investment industry to protect its clients, but no rule seems more ridiculous to me than the restriction to invest on the basis of an arbitrary number.
Does anyone remember Research In Motion (RIMM) back in 2010, when it was trading for $60? It was the must-own stock, despite the surges being made by Apple (AAPL). Then the shares proceeded to decline by more than 80%, and just a few months ago, shares in RIMM dropped to an all-time low of just over $6. At that price, RIMM was deemed too risky by many people who had raced to buy it at $60, $50 and even $20 a share.
While at times it may be true that low-priced stocks are susceptible to greater volatility than higher-priced stocks, volatility is not risk. How many of us would jump to buy Apple if shares dropped to $300 over the next few weeks? Those who define risk as volatility would conclude that Apple had become too risky. On the other hand, if one views risk at the probability of suffering a permanent loss of capital, Apple at $300 would be viewed as a tremendous investment opportunity.
Rentech (RTK) is one such opportunity that many funds won't allow to be purchased, because the shares trade for $2.82, even though Rentech has a market valuation of $622 million. Rentech owns just over 60% of Rentech Nitrogen Partners (RNF), a stake worth over $800 million, on the basis of Rentech Nitrogen's $1.5 billion market valuation. In addition, Rentech has more than $150 million in net cash on the balance sheet. Rentech Nitrogen currently yields 8%, which equates to an annual distribution of $120 million, over $70 million which goes to Rentech by virtue of its ownership interest in Rentech Nitrogen.
Another name worth a closer look is Universal Insurance Holdings (UVE), a Florida-based property and casualty insurance business. Trading at $4.92 a share, or $180 million market cap, it doesn't make the cut for most investment funds. As a result, you have a name that yields more than 7%, sits on over $350 million in cash and trades at a modest premium to book value. Some individual and special hedge funds have taken notice: Shares are up 23% over the past 52 weeks.
Interestingly enough, funds that are not allowed buy securities trading below $6, $10 or any other arbitrary number are more than eager to buy them once those price levels have been met. In other words, companies that don't qualify for mutual funds or other investment funds offer a big advantage to the individual or smaller investor. It's a chance to buy before the "smart" money comes charging in.
Just look at Motorcar Parts of America (MPAA) an auto parts supplier that was trading for $17 a little over a year ago. An acquisition hiccup sent shares plummeting to less than $4 a few months ago. Shares now trade for $6.40 but still remain out of reach for many professional money managers. Yet most of those managers will pile in if shares get to $10, providing earlier investors which another tailwind to price appreciation.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Channel 4 is learning more details about the death of a 58-year-old man in his Westside home Friday night.
Investigators suspect foul play in the death of Barnat Bella.
Channel 4 spoke with Bella's wife Tuesday night. Sofia Bella described her late husband as a spunky man with a servants heart, she told Channel 4 she doesn't know who would want to hurt him. Bella's family set up a makeshift memorial at the door of his home, where friends and co-workers have left flowers and notes for a man, they told Channel 4, will be greatly missed.
Officers were called to his home in the 2400 block of Miss Muffet Lane West about 9:20 p.m. Friday in reference to an audible residential burglar alarm. When police arrived, they saw a bathroom window broken in the back of the home, the house shot up and signs of a struggle. They later found Bella dead in a hallway.
"Barnat was a good man, and he didn't deserve to be gunned down by a bunch of crooks and thieves," said Bella's wife, Sofia. "I want to see those who were involved brought to justice and I want them to serve their life in prison for what they've done. They don't deserve freedom."
Bella's wife said he'd gotten the burglar alarm because of prior break-ins.
"He had no enemies, he had no hatred toward anybody," said Bella. "Who would want to hurt him, I don't know."
Bella and his wife came to Jacksonville from India 12 years ago. His wife told Channel 4 that Bella was passionate about his work as a social worker in Jacksonville.
"He's given his extra time, above and beyond to them. He went above and beyond after work, he would stay sometimes until 7, 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock at night just to help the people he was helping," said Bella.
Investigators are asking for the community's help to solve this crime and find justice for Bella's family and friends.
"For someone to take him away from us and away from everybody and people we serve, it's not right," said Bella's employer, Heather Vaughan. "I really hope that whoever did this gets caught or turns himself in."
Anyone with any information about the killing is asked to call the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office at 904-630-0500 or Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS.

A witness has described seeing a woman plunge to her death from a footbridge in an apparent suicide.
Zeba Begum watched from a window in her home in Greenham Crescent, Chingford, as the woman fell on to the North Circular between the Crooked Billet roundabout and Cooks Ferry Interchange at 2.30pm yesterday.
The dead woman, described as white, in her late teens and dressed in a blue tracksuit with a hooded body warmer, was first spotted pacing up and down on the footbridge minutes before tragedy struck.
Ms Begum, 26, said: "I thought it was a boy at first the way she was dressed. The person kept looking left to right while leaning over the bridge, it looked very suspicious."
"Next thing I saw, she had climbed over the bridge and was sitting at the highest peak of the bridge with her legs dangling looking towards the oncoming traffic.
"All I was thinking in my head was get off, get off, this is not funny - what are you doing?
"Cars started beeping at her, and then she waved towards the traffic, looked left and then right and pushed herself off."
Screaming and in shock, Ms Begum shouted to her mother, Saya, to call the emergency services.
She then gave the police her mobile number, threw on some shoes and dashed towards the scene just yards from her house.
"I was hoping and praying she would be OK but when I got to her it was awful.
"I don't suspect she had collided with a car as her face and body was flat, with her arms and legs straight and there were no damaged vehicles in sight," she said.
"I was probably the only person who saw her jump to her death. It was such a quick decision; I still don't understand why someone so young would do such a thing."
Moments after the incident, Ms Begum spoke with a passer-by who told her she had walked past the girl on the bridge and was given a hand gesture by her to keep on walking.
When the woman, with her husband and two young children, got to the bottom of the bridge, they said they heard the impact.
Shane Sheehy, manager of Fairways Driving Range in Southend Road, Chingford, had pulled onto the dual carriageway when he saw the woman on the bridge.
"She stopped several metres from the metal railing and then very casually climbed onto it.
"I knew straight away it was a girl from her mannerisms and body movements and I knew what she was about to do," said the 49 year-old.
Mr Sheehy took the exit just pass the bridge and pulled into the petrol station to find somoeone to alert but it was too late.
He added: "It was so emotional. By the time I got out of my car and looked back, the traffic had stopped and I knew that was it."
Ms Begum said she is haunted by the experience.
"All night I didn't sleep, I feel haunted by her. All I see when I look out onto the bridge is her.
"I saw her alive and next minute she was dead. In some way, I feel responsible because I was stuck behind my bedroom wall," she added.
"The bridge needs to be caged, patrolled and have CCTV installed.
"Kids act a bit stupid when they're up there, some chuck stones, there are strong winds and it is not the first time someone has jumped.
"I know people may think by having a caged bridge is it more of a crime hotspot but at the moment this bridge acts as an easy option for people in distress."
Emergency services including an air ambulance were called to the scene at 14:27pm yesterday and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
The age and identity of the woman is still unknown and next of kin are yet to be informed.
Police say the incident is not being treated as suspicious and inquiries continue.
Flowers have been laid at the scene.

Miley Cyrus' 'Adore You' Gets Upbeat Remix by Cedric Gervais [VIDEO]
Subscribe to 92 Moose on
Miley Cyrus' slow jamz-esque 'Adore You' just got remixed by Cedric Gervais, a Grammy Award-winning DJ and producer — and he gave the tune a fast-paced, electronic vibe that turns the song on its head.
While the video features the same ole Miley writhing around suggestively in bed, the new remix makes the song less slow and sensual and more upbeat, like something the 'Jersey Shore' crew could easily fist-pump to during a night out on the town.
Miley herself couldn't wait to share the new remix with her fans and eagerly tweeted out the vid (and cover art, which shows her in a brunette wig) to her fans:

I'm surprised at the criticism at Osmund given the quality of her skate. Her component scores were in the mid-to-high 6s which is just about right for her transitions and interpretation of the music. Also, she has earned some repute after winning the Nebelhorn Trophy earlier this year, so the judges know what she is capable of.
As for Elene, I'm so glad that she skated the way she did. She's had so many frustrating skates over the last few years, but she skated fast and agile to a song that is by contrast slow and sorrowful. I'm not sure if she deserved a Level 4 on her step sequence but it was a strong performance.
Caroline Zhang's trouble has always been her basic skating skills. I believe she's spent a good deal of time reworking her loop and flip technique, both necessary for the consistency of her jumps, but her most pressing issue is her lack of speed and agility. She performs more crossover than her competitors and she just doesn't turn as quickly, so the judges have a poor perception of her skating skills and transitions.
This competition is still up for grabs. Love it when the skaters are that close.
Congrats to Elene, what a fantastic short and Osmond has fire like no one else.
When will these ridiculous < calls on Kanako's 3T-3T stop?!?! It is NOT justified. Those jumps have the rotation and she has been more consistent on that combination than any other woman in the World. The << call on her Triple Flip here was not correct either, that jump was only < .
Zhang sadly hasn't stepped it up at all, after her good showings at Nationals and 4CC last year. Maybe she is just having a slow start to the season again, but it's not looking promising.
Zhang tends to peak later in the season. She was not spectacular early last season, either. Part of the reason her showing at Nationals was such a surprise to so many.
Why most people in this forum think that Kaetlyn Osmond don't deserve the second place and her score ? To me, Kaetlyn skate a fantastic program with great choreography and great quality of element and she deserved this score. Why it should be always the same skater who should win ?
I believe that figure skating is going for the first times in the good way. And, this will help to makes the sport more appreciate and more popular.
Today, a skater who skate bad will necessary have a bad score, like example : Patrick Chan in Japan Open 2012, and a skater who skated to her potential even if this skater is new to the judge can win a competition, like example : Christina Gao in skate america 2012.
So, everyone should accept that Kaetlyn Osmond yes is new but she is truly a skater who can challenge the best skater in the worlds. Congratulation Kaetlyn, you deserve this second place!!!
There is always politics and skaters' reps involved in the scoring but the extent to which those factors play a role is hard to prove. What the skaters actually do on the ice is likely the most important factor. As far as Elene G, I think she deserved to be scored even higher. It's great to see her with beautiful music, costume, and great confidence as well as deep emotion and expressiveness. She's a natural re presentation skills, but now she's putting it all together. Bellisima! It's fair to point out though, so what that Elene isn't from a powerhouse country, she has a powerhouse coach who is Canadian to boot. Ha ha, there's no doubt Elene G deserves to be in first place with that program!
Osmond is a wonderfully refreshing spitfire. She skates with great confidence which is soooo good to see in a young skater. The judges love to see skaters skate clean programs with confidence and panache, and that's exactly what Osmond delivered in her performance. I'm not that enamored of this style of program/ music/ costume, but Osmond really made it work for her and she was able to maintain audience interest throughout because it was obvious she believed in her program and was having a blast. She needs to develop maturity and that will come. Right now she seems to be on track, right place, right time. I wish her well and pray for her no over-hype nor over-pressuring from fans and Canadian fed.
I feel for Ksenia. I thought she skated beautifully last season but was not given a great deal of credit. She was upset about the one mistake she had in her sp here, but I loved her program. I hope she continues to push hard to work on her weak areas, and keep going in the lovely direction she's going with her skating. The difference for me re Ksenia and Elene G is that they both have absolutely gorgeous positions on the ice and they feel and interpret the music well. Although Liza T has great jumps and also has gorgeous positions, she needs to mature a great deal more, as does Sotnikova and Shelepen. I think the sp costume for Polina was awful and obscures her natural beauty. I don't get all the obsessive adoration of the Russian baby ballerinas. They need a chance to grow up and develop more maturity and competitive experience without all these exalted expectations on their shoulders.
I was not fond of Kanako when she first came on the scene, but she improved last year with a bit more maturity and attention to some technical weaknesses. She can be lovely, but I don't find her exciting. Akiko is a wonderful skater, but she has seemed so far this season to be having a bit of technical trouble with her programs. Both of her programs seem to be big departures for her, so maybe that is part of the challenge, in addition to her trying to live up to last season's success. Obviously, Akiko could still be in the medals here, or even win should she skate lights out and the top ladies falter in the fp. The fp should be very competitive. The ladies are off to a kickin' start this season.
From what I've seen, I wouldn't mind the top three staying as is, with Gracie moving up to fifth and Akiko in 4th (but I think Akiko is likely to move up to medal position). I hope Caroline skates a clean fp and moves up at least another spot.
One will always be nervous before the performance- it's all about how you HANDLE those nerves. That separates the good skaters from the great ones.
Ditto. Though since we know that won't happen, lets hope her coach and her team (and herself) understand how to manage the hype and pressure.Originally Posted by Art&Sport;670531

I missed the competition due to being at work. Judging from the scores, the biggest surprise for me was Kaetlyn Osmond. She seems to have made great progress over the summer and is putting out very good skates. Good for her. The biggest disappointment for me was Gracie Gold. As we saw yesterday, she lands her jumps in practice, but she just can't do it in competition. Her coach needs to stop talking her up as the best jumper in the world if she can't actually land those jumps in competition. She has delivered a series of very poor skates since moving up to the senior level.

Melissa Athanasopulos, senior sales director of fresh-cut at Del Monte Fresh Produce NA, Coral Gables, Fla., has been on the produce industry radar of upcoming talents since winning Rookie of the Year honors with US Foodservice.
She later became the first woman to join her company's "$2 million dollar club." She maintained that honor for three straight years until she took a break from the professional world.
Athanasopulos started her career in her family's restaurant business, where she learned the importance of loyalty.
"I have only worked for two companies in my professional career," Athanasopulos said. "I am loyal, and I have found the right fit with Del Monte, and I hope to continue working for them."
Athanasopulos has worked for Del Monte for 11 years, and she said she enjoys the diversity of her work.
"There is no typical day," she said. "My main focus for the company is to increase sales but every day is different depending on what is going on in the produce world, what the weather is like, what season we are in, what we're working on and who we're communicating with."
Athanasopulos works with Del Monte's 10 fresh-cut operations across the U.S. and Canada and 12 distribution centers, in addition to regional and national customers, to ensure the right products are in the right locations and that the company is communicating effectively.
Kirk Teske, vice president of fresh-cut sales and operations for North America at Del Monte Fresh Produce, has known Athanasopulos since they were kids, growing up on the same street in Illinois.
"Melissa is very dedicated to her job, she enjoys her work, and she enjoys to work," Teske said. "She puts such dedication into what she does, she goes the extra mile, doesn't think about a 9-to-5 role but does what's necessary."
Athanasopulos accepts any challenge that comes her way and has tried to remember the lessons she's learned and the advice she's been given throughout her career.
"I've learned to be honest, trust your instincts and never get too comfortable," Athanasopulos said.
Someone once told her to treat others like she wanted to be treated, so she applies that to her personal and professional life.
"I would never ask anyone to do something that I wouldn't do myself," Athanasopulos said.
Athanasopulos' favorite venture yet is a taste program for children.
"It's all about educating our youth," she said.
This program is a part of a classroom teaching curriculum where children learn fun facts about fruits and vegetables and taste a fruit or vegetable that they may have not had the opportunity to try before.
Athanasopulos is enjoying the moment but looking toward the future.
"I would like to further educate children about the benefits of produce because I feel that everyone needs to do their part by simply getting produce in front of children and showing them that eating right can be fun and that it can taste good," Athanasopulos said.
"Melissa is a leader," Teske said. "She has a very bright future at Del Monte, and I expect her to be a leader with the company for years to come."

Soapdom is delighted to break that Propsect Park co-founders, Jeff Kwatinetz and Rich Frank have just announced today that they are indeed moving ahead with their plans to bring All My Children and One Life to Live back to the fans.
Here is their statement in full...
"We are pleased to confirm that Prospect Park is reviving the beloved soap operas, All My Children and One Life To Live as the anchor programs on The Online Network (TOLN). Today we are also pleased to confirm that Prospect Park has: 1) signed guild agreements with both SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) and the DGA (Directors Guild of America); 2) entered into a consulting agreement with Agnes Nixon the creator of All My Children and One Life to Live guaranteeing her active involvement; 3) hired Foz McDermott (coordinating producer Heroes) as TOLN's head of production, Jennifer Pepperman (Director, One Life to Live) as Executive Producer on One Life to Live, and Ginger Smith (Producer, All My Children) as Executive Producer on All My Children; and 4) arranged the necessary financing to begin production in February on both All My Children and One Life To Live.
We thank the loyal audience and new generation of fans of both shows who have demonstrated that passion and exciting story lines are not just reserved for traditional television. Their enduring support encouraged us to move forward each and every day. We look forward to sharing more details including our launch air date and additional specifics in the coming weeks."
ABC Daytime announced plans to cancel both All My Children and One Life to Live in April 2011. By that July, Prospect Park had secured the rights to both shows and began the arduous journey of negotating deals with entertainment industry unions, talent, producers and technology partners to give the shows a new life on The Online Network.
When gargantuan efforts proved futile, Prospect Park announced late in 2011 that they were suspending their plans. But they never said they were abandoning them. And they did not.
Prospect Park continued to work behind the scenes to make this happen. Today's official announcement comes after the fruit of those labors.

Pick No. 74 nets power-hitting outfielder Morgan
ST. PETERSBURG -- If you sensed a theme on the opening day of the Mariners' First-Year Player Draft on Thursday, scouting director Tom McNamara won't disagree.
Seattle used both its picks on young right-handed-hitting corner outfielders with significant power potential, tabbing 18-year-old Gareth Morgan from Blythe Academy in Toronto with the final second-round selection of the day after taking San Diego prep star Alex Jackson with the sixth pick in the opening round.
"We're real happy with the two guys we got today," McNamara said before heading back into the Draft room to prepare for Rounds 3-10 on Friday. "Both are good-looking hitters. They both have aptitude, power and are athletic. And both are young.
"These are the type of players our fans can get excited about. Both have good upside. They'll start at lower levels, but we just gave the organization a good shot in the arm with young talent."
Morgan was taken with the 74th overall pick, which came to Seattle as the last Competive Balance Round B selection at the end of the second round.
The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder has signed a letter of intent with North Carolina State. He isn't as polished as Jackson, but Morgan is regarded as the top prep talent in Canada and he traveled to Arizona and Florida to showcase his skills this spring with the Langley Blaze club team, playing against a Mariners Minor League squad on one stop.
Morgan is a member of the Canadian Junior National Team, which recently played eight games against professional squads in the Dominican Summer League. General manager Jack Zduriencik and several Mariners scouts watched Morgan in the Dominican and clearly liked what they saw.
"All of our scouts were involved on this one," McNamara said, "because that team traveled all over the world. And he flew into Seattle on the way back [for a workout after the Dominican trip]. We've seen both these guys since the start of their high school years, not just in high school, but in summer tournaments where you really try to bear down on those guys because they're facing the best pitchers and players in the country."
McNamara said Jackson and Morgan both have the kind of preparation that will help them transition into Minor League baseball just out of high school.
"We call them advanced high school players because they know the travel routine and playing with other players, being on the road and the grind of playing every day," he said. "It's not pro ball, but it's a good introduction."
The Mariners lost their regular second-round pick by signing Robinson Cano in free agency. They would have regained a second-round pick had Kendrys Morales signed with another team prior to Thursday, but Morales remains the one qualified free agent still without a contract after he turned down Seattle's one-year, $14.1 million qualifying offer last winter.
The Draft continues on Friday with Rounds 3-10, with the Mariners selecting sixth in each of those rounds. The MLB.com pre-Draft show begins at 9:30 a.m. PT, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 3-10 beginning at 10 a.m. PT. The final 30 rounds of the Draft will be held on Saturday.

GSA Announces Detailed Organizational Design Plan For FAS
Posted August 4, 2005
U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Administrator Stephen A. Perry today announced the detailed organizational design plan for reorganizing the Federal Technology Service (FTS) and Federal Supply Service (FSS) into the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS).
"This reorganization is a very important part of the overall effort to improve the federal acquisition process and it will significantly improve GSA's effectiveness in meeting the increasing requirements of federal agencies for excellent acquisition services," said GSA Administrator Stephen A. Perry. "I commend the GSA design teams for working diligently to develop this plan and I'm confident that it will enhance our ability to provide reliable, consistent and compliant acquisition services that yield best value to federal agencies and taxpayers."
In January GSA launched the FTS/FSS reorganization initiative and in June, issued a high-level organizational design to indicate the general direction of the reorganization and to invite input from GSA associates, customer agencies, industry contractors, Congress and others. The input provided by all stakeholders throughout the development of this plan has been very helpful in developing the detailed organizational design which consists of:
- Commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service
- Five National Program Offices:
- Customer Accounts and Research: enables GSA better understand customer requirements and become a strategic partner in helping agencies meet their acquisition needs.
- Acquisition Management: ensures that GSA's activities are fully compliant with federal laws, regulations and policies, and that operating practices are consistent across business lines and regions.
- Integrated Technology Services: groups together the GSA units that acquire information technology, telecommunications and professional services.
- General Supplies and Services: groups together the GSA units that acquire a broad range of commercial products and closely-related services, as well as some specialized logistics-based activities.
- Travel, Motor Vehicles and Card Services: groups together business lines which share commonalities that provide opportunities for synergy and scale.
- Six Zonal Offices for Local Customer Service Delivery:
Recognizing the need to provide direct, face-to-face customer service, the FAS organization will include six zones within the 11 GSA regions. Under this arrangement, GSA associates will provide customers in a particular geographic area with services such as IT-assisted acquisition, fleet service representatives and personal property. Associates in the former FTS and FSS Regional and Zonal offices will remain in their current geographic locations, but will be reorganized into six zones. FAS staff conducting local customer delivery will report to the Assistant Regional Administrators in the six FAS zones.
Zone A: New England Region
Northeast & Caribbean Region
Zone B: Mid-Atlantic Region
National Capital Region
Zone C: Southeast-Sunbelt Region
Great Lakes Region
Zone D: Greater Southwest Region
Zone E: Heartland Region
Rocky Mountain Region
Zone F: Pacific Rim Region
Northwest/Arctic Region

The publicly known facts are scarce at this stage, but the in-flight structural failure of a Cessna Corvalis composite high-performance piston single in the Kansas sky last December has disturbing ramifications for the whole general aviation industry.
On September 22 the FAA announced it is proposing a $2.4 million civil penalty against Cessna after carbon composite elements of a Corvalis's wing separated in flight while an FAA test pilot was performing a production audit test flight on Dec. 6, 2010. Nothing departed the aircraft, and the pilot made an emergency landing at Independence Airport, Kan. Four days later the FAA issued an emergency AD grounding the 13 Corvalises that used wings and parts built in the same Cessna facility since Dec. 17, 2009.
The agency deserves kudos for holding a manufacturer's feet to the fire for this troubling failure. It's a failure that should serve as a wakeup call to every other OEM moving home-base manufacturing work to lower-wage areas. Would the feds have pursued Cessna so doggedly had one of their own not been at the helm that day? Who knows, but this close-to-home failure of composite bonding in a certified airplane has rightly riveted the attention of the aviation police.
The wing that failed had been built at Cessna's company-owned plant in Chihuahua, Mexico, and FAA investigators determined that seven feet of wing skin separated from the wing spar because excessive humidity in the factory had prevented the bonded material from curing properly. This is the sort of failure one might expect of a homebuilt put together in the garage of someone who has never built an airplane before, and it is conduct unbecoming of one of the most well known and respected names in the airplane business.
Cessna is gambling with its most precious asset–its heritage and the trust customers place in its reputation for building sound airplanes. With this failure, and enduring controversy about its made-in-China Skycatcher, it's on a losing streak and needs to go to emergency stations to fix a flawed strategy and convince airplane buyers they can still trust Brand C. Cessna is not alone in moving work to save on wages: fellow Wichitans Hawker Beechcraft and Bombardier Learjet have also set up company-owned factories in Mexico.
A year ago AIN posted the following multiple-choice question on AINonline.com: "OEMs manufacturing aircraft in the U.S. are increasingly shifting work to Mexico to lower their labor costs. As an end user of these aircraft, do you believe that this compromises the quality/integrity of these aircraft?"
Of the 51 responses received, some 56 percent selected either "Yes, you get what you pay for–lower labor costs buy lower quality, and workers in Mexico aren't as skilled as long-time, experienced aerospace workers are in the U.S." or "Yes, and I would advise my boss not to buy an aircraft with significant Mexican labor content." About 31 percent selected, "No, the components/subassemblies made in Mexico are subject to the same strict quality controls as the ones made in the U.S." or "No, properly trained workers in Mexico are every bit as skilled as workers are in the U.S." And the rest chose "Maybe. It depends on the quality control processes and worker training."
Viewed in the context of the ailing U.S. economy, the political objections to moving skilled airplane manufacturing jobs to Mexico and China gain a louder voice; now there is evidence to support the concerns that quality suffers when the hard-earned skills of the home workforce are tossed aside for cheaper, remote labor. These are airplanes, not drywall or pet food or chew toys.
The FAA has given Cessna 30 days to respond to the proposed civil penalty, and a wider audience is all ears.

I'm not entirely sure one incident can prove your argument about workers outside the U.S. building airplanes. However, you could have also noted Cessna's production of the Skycatcher in China. That's an airplane that is hardly living up to Cessna's historic quality. Anyone who operates one (including flight schools I have spoken with) concur that the plane is more like a shoddy homebuilt than an airplane from one of the world's most respected airplane makers.

Who was worse on that play, the Cubs or the ump? Geez.
"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN
No whining, that's for Cardinal fans.

Will Venable just made the best catch I have ever seen watching a game live on TV. Saved a game winning hit as he had to dive in deep CF. As they now go to 13th in San Francisco.
Venable catch
The Padres have won 7 straight to get themselves into the mix of things in the tight NL West race.
Around here we were already assuming they would be sellers at the deadline and thought of them as possible trading partners.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
Jesse Crain
Stats on the seasonCrain is probably the single most likely player to change teams this summer. The White Sox aren't going to be in the playoff picture this year, Crain is a free agent at year's end, and with Jake Peavy hitting the disabled list, he's probably their single best trade chip to try and bring back some young talent. Toss in the fact that he's only making $4.5 million in total this year, and Crain doesn't come with any of the things that might hold a team back from acquiring Papelbon. And while he might not have the proven closer label, he's developed into a guy who has earned a shot at a ninth inning gig.
Someone is going to scoop this guy up at the deadline and have a major weapon for the late innings. Now that the Padres appear to be in the race, time to pilfer the ChiSox, somehow.

Jeff Szemarjin (sic) may hold down the Cards tonite, but the Cubbies will have to play a little better D than they have shown lately. Waino has a rediculous K to BB ratio as evidenced by his 10-1 record.
Cubs POUNDING Waino....4-0 and still batting.

A WINCHESTER restaurant has vowed to win the 'Curry Oscars' after falling short this year.
Balaka Indian restaurant in Weeke was up against two other Hampshire eateries at the British Curry Awards in November but were unsuccessful.
Shafi Hussein, owner, said: "We were disappointed not to win, but had a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable evening. We are already working on the judges' feedback in preparation for next year's event and will persevere until we are successful."
He added: "There are over 10,000 Indian restaurants in the UK, employing 80,000 people and turning over £3.5 billion annually, and so to be recognised amongst the best is a fantastic achievement both our staff and customers can be proud of."
The glitzy ceremony was attended by celebrities including royal correspondent Jenny Bond and PR guru Max Clifford.

The Chico Chamber of Commerce board of directors voted unanimously Thursday to support fellow director and Chico State University President Paul Zingg's decision to suspend social Greek organizations on campus.
Fraternities and sororities were warned by the university that serious incidents including assaults, abusive hazing and out-of-control parties would not be tolerated. The recent death of student and fraternity pledge Mason Sumnicht after a night drinking on his 21st birthday with his fraternity brothers was the ultimate reason to take this action. The Greek chapters will be given an opportunity for reinstatement by meeting a revised set of strict guidelines that will be presented by the university.
Zingg has made it clear that the campus intends to take additional measures to ensure student safety. Binge drinking threatens and destroys many students' lives. Analysis indicates that binge drinking at Chico State exceeds national averages, and our community must resolve this crisis together.
The Chamber of Commerce board consists of a diverse group of business owners, CEOs and community leaders who are dedicated to serving the interests of Chico and this university. Many of us have strong bonds to CSUC. Writing as chairman of the board on behalf of the other directors, we stand resolutely with Zingg and his courageous efforts.
— Roger Hart, Chico

Less Than 1,000 Tickets for Conference Title Game to go on Sale Monday
INDIANAPOLIS The Colts and New England Patriots each won their AFC Divisional Playoff games this weekend. As a result, the Colts will host the AFC Championship Game.
There wont be many tickets available. But there will be some.
On Monday, January 15, Colts tickets for the AFC Championship Game will be available for purchase at the RCA Dome ticket office and all Indiana Ticketmaster Ticket Centers (plus Louisville, KY) beginning at 10 a.m.
No telephone or internet orders will be accepted that first Monday. Any tickets that may remain available after January 15 will be made available via charge-by-phone at (317) 239-5151 and via the internet at www.ticketmaster.com.
Less than 1,000 tickets will be available.
A Random Number Distribution (RND) will be used to determine the first potential ticket buyer (at the RCA Dome and at the outlets). The outlets
will follow their usual RND process (with tickets).
At the RCA Dome, sequentially-numbered wristbands will be issued to potential ticket buyers by security staff between 8 and 9:30 a.m.
There is no advantage to arriving prior to 8 a.m. The drawing to determine which numbered wristband has the opportunity to purchase tickets first will take place at 9:30 a.m. Possession of a wristband does not guarantee availability, it only ensures a place in line.
Supplies are limited due to an increased season ticket base.
A limit of six (6) tickets per person will apply.
Methods of payments: Cash, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.
Tickets will be available for purchase while supplies last.
Prices (subject to availability): $80, $90, $105, $125, $155, $190, and $395.
No refunds. No exchanges.
The Colts also are accepting deposits for those wishing to become season-ticket holders in the future at www.colts.com
Why Not Us ?
IDK think they will be online. Better to tick people off online than when they are in a large crowd, not sure though. There was an Indystar article about it, you should check it out.
I think there are about 50 ticketmaster locations in Indiana (maybe more) and about 1000 tickets. Its gonna be a big time crap shoot.
I am thinking about trying though...
Oh I am definetely trying. I just tried to count how many ticketmasters and I was at 50 by the jeffersonville one. Crap. Oh well just have to
I'm very tempted - the energy will be amazing. But I think I'll leave it for real Colts fans.
The poster formerly known as Rimfire
I'm 8 blocks away from the one here, so I think that helps me... I think...
Not with the RND. When you get there has nothing to do with it as long as you are there when they hand out the numbers randomly.
What sucks is I can afford it, but I can't skip classes to probably not get a ticket. As much as I love the colts.
I am going to have a hard enough time focusing on my homework during the week.
Get a friend to go for you. Plus you know the auditorium has a ticket master if that is around your classes.
I'm surprised that you have classes on MLK day...
Oh **** duh D4G no classes at IU tomorrow I was wondering why I was still home.
By the way, you can buy an $80 ticket for upwards of $390 at stubhub.com .
the tickets will sale out in less then a minute, bank on that
[/center]If you havin' depth problems, I feel bad for you son; I got 99 problems but a bench ain't one! - Hicks
The one thing I love about this town (I've lived here since 2000), is how easy it is to get into sporting events for little cost. The Pacers-Pistons series in 2004 playoffs, the Colts home games against Denver, and Kansas City, were all easy to get into.
My plan for tomorrow? Show up at my Marsh across the street around 9:30. If I somehow fail to buy tickets, I'll wait till Tuesday and buy singles online. TicketMaster.com always has returned/unsold singles at face until around Wednesday. The caveat to that however is that they are always in the lower deck.
I don't plan on sitting much, but those seats in the RCA Dome are way too narrow.
"Like [Jonathan Bender], AMC's Pacer was supposed to be fitted with a rotary engine--but both rotaries had technical problems late in their development (read: after incurring heavy research costs) that prevented them from seeing the light of day. Of course, both vehicles had plenty of problems that did reach production. The Pacer was a dud in terms of quality, execution and particularly styling. Make your own assessment about its bizarre proportions, but don't miss the one door that's bigger than the other."
I NEED two tickets. Me and my dad have to be at this game together on Sunday. We have been through too much together as Indiana sports fans to not be. Hopefully luck is with me tomorrow morning.
Well, suprisingly I am still unlucky. Since I am a hour behind the rest of state, the ticketmaster doesn't open for another hour. I am sure the RND will be over by then...
Yeah, I went to the IU auditorium this morning. There were eight of us in the lottery and guess who came in last! It's ok though because the first person got 6 single seats and that was it, no more available.

While many people have enjoy warm days that signify spring, others are dreading something else that comes with warmer weather - seasonal allergies.
Nearly 40 million people suffer from seasonal allergies, also known as hay fever, with symptoms such as a stuffy, runny nose, itchy eyes, and sneezing and wheezing.
These following steps are recommended to help reduce your exposure and to control symptoms:
It's important for you to know what you are actually allergic to, so an allergist or otolaryngologist can accurately diagnose and help them manage your condition.
Treatment can include antihistamines, decongestants, prescription nasal corticosteroids and/or immunotherapy (allergy shots). What works best for one person may not be as effective for another, which is why it's important to see a doctor before your allergies get out of control. A number of kits are now available over the counter to acutally flush out the nose with salt water. This may be helpful, particularly after excessive exposure, to wash allergens from the nose.
