Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel ran for two touchdowns, threw for two more and had a Cotton Bowl-record 516 total yards as 10th-ranked Texas A&M beat No. 12 Oklahoma 41-13 on Friday in Arlington, Texas.
The Aggies (11-2), wrapping up their first SEC season, never trailed after Manziel tiptoed the sideline for a 23-yard TD run on their opening drive of the game.
Texas A&M scored TDs on its first three drives in the third quarter, going ahead 34-13 when Manziel threw a 33-yard scoring pass to Ryan Swope on a fourth-and-4 play. Oklahoma (10-3) went three-and-out on its first three drives after halftime.
"There is too much talk about how you perform after the Heisman and about the layoff," Manziel said. "There wasn't anything holding us back. No rust. We played as a unit. ... To do what we've done, is impressive."
Manziel set an FBS bowl record with his 229 yards rushing on 17 carries, and completed 22 of 34 passes for 287 yards.
Oklahoma's Landry Jones, in his 50th career start, completed 35 of 48 passes for 278 yards.
BCS Championship Game: Alabama's team leaders weren't thrilled with how practice was going, so they called a players-only meeting. "We felt like it hasn't been what it needs to be as far as intensity, focus," linebacker Nico Johnson said. Meanwhile, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said his team is "ready to play." No. 2 Alabama meets No. 1 Notre Dame in Miami on Monday. ... Tide coach Nick Saban sent two backup players home for violating curfew. A source identified them as freshmen Dillon Lee and Ryan Anderson
NFL draft: Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones is leaving after his junior season to enter the NFL draft. He's projected to be one of the top picks. ... Florida is losing at least three juniors to the NFL -- tight end Jordan Reed, safety Matt Elam and defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd. ... LSU safety Eric Reid, cornerback Tharold Simon, running back Spencer Ware and punter Brad Wing are entering the draft. Linebacker Kevin Minter informed LSU earlier this week that he'd be leaving.
Tulane: The Green Wave received a letter of intent from Nick Montana, the son of Joe Montana who threw for 2,652 yards and 22 TDs this season at Mount San Antonio College.

Crane discusses importance of TV deal
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Astros owner Jim Crane, who arrived in town on Thursday to catch the Astros for a few days, provided an update on the team's negotiations to have regional sports network CSN Houston available in more markets in the Houston area.
The regional sports network, which is jointly owned by the Astros, the Houston Rockets and NBC, launched in October and isn't available yet on DirecTV, Dish Network and AT&T U-verse. Crane said he's been involved in recent negotiations and still expects to get a deal done.
"I think something is going to happen," he said. "We're concerned about our fans. We want our fans to watch the game and we want to get this deal done. If there's a little pain in the short term, we've got to be willing to do that because we can't sacrifice the future. That's the whole theme on the ballteam."
Crane said the pressure point will be when the regular season starts March 31, but he stressed the deal must be a good one for the Astros considering it's for the long term.
"What fans need to understand is, we really need to cut a good deal here," he said. "This is a long-term deal, and it will really affect the ability to finance the team and the payroll. We have to have a deal that's market with the Rangers and Angels and we should be able to get that. We can't really cut a bad deal that's a long-term deal because it will affect us in the long term, and we don't want to do that. We want to have our payroll where the Rangers' is so we can compete with everybody. That's the key."

Hey everyone, I'm a new poster who's been lurking in the background, absorbing DG knowledge for a while now. Hope you guys don't mind another of these bag posts...
My Bag:
1x Star Destroyer (172)
2x Pro Starfire (171, 175)
2x DX Teebird (168, 171)
1x DX Roc (180)
2x KC Pro Roc (175, one beat, one new)
1x M Wizard (168)
1x SS Wizard (168)
2x S Wizard (175)
My max D is ~375 with the destroyer, but I'm more consistent hyzer-flipping a starfire ~330
I also have a Z-predator and a Star Starfire...would I be better off learning to throw one of these and ditching the Destroyer?
One more thing: should I maybe think about getting a Star SL to act as an always-brand-new Pro Starfire?
thanks guys

Every application has bugs -- as long as humans write code, there will continue to be errors in software. Some errors are trivial, while others are critical. Open-source projects like WordPress need the participation of their user communities to identify bugs in their software, as well as to plan for new features.
All types of feedback — whether they're genuine bugs or feature requests — are reported the same way in the WordPress project. Read on to learn how to report bugs and issues for WordPress... you may also want to read Contributing to WordPress to find out how to contribute to the documentation and other areas of the WordPress project.
While we try to be proactive in preventing security problems, we do not assume they'll never come up. If you believe you've found a security problem in a release of WordPress please see the Security FAQ for information on how to report the problem.
It is standard practice to notify the vendor (the WordPress developers, in this case) of a security problem before publicizing so a fix can be prepared and public damage due to the vulnerability minimized.
If you find a bug in a Plugin or Theme you are using with WordPress, do NOT report it using the procedures in this article! Instructions in this article apply only to bugs in the WordPress core, and do not apply to bugs in plugins and themes.
Plugins which reside in the WordPress Plugin Repository have a separate bug tracking system from the WordPress core. Separate instructions are available for using that system.
For plugins which do not reside in the official repository, and for themes, check the documentation that came with the plugin or theme for instructions on where to report bugs. If no bug reporting information came with your plugin or theme, you'll need to contact the author directly.
There are several steps in the process of reporting and resolving a WordPress bug. Here is an overview; more details are in sections below.
The sections below add details to some of the steps outlined above.
With large projects like WordPress, so many users report bugs that there's a good chance your bug has already been reported. Because of this, it's very important to check to be sure it's not already in the system before you submit it. If you are new to reporting bugs in WordPress, it is also a good idea to discuss the issue with more experienced developers before reporting it. Please follow the steps below.
Trac is the name of the official WordPress bug tracker. It uses the open source bug tracking software Trac which is a product from Edgewall Software. Follow these steps to create a good bug report in Trac:
If you want to fix bugs in the core parts of WordPress, but don't know which ones to fix, here are some suggestions on how to find bugs to fix:
If you are familiar with PHP and MySQL, and would like to help in the development of WordPress, then you are encouraged to patch WordPress bugs. Here are the steps to follow:

There are a number of keywords with defined meaning used in Trac that are commonly used; some are also searched for by Trac Reports. Keywords should not be thought of as generic 'tags,' which are not necessary.

Topic: Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP)
Saw this story on CNN.com and thought I'd repost it here.
Story highlights:
Leslie Elder died at 63 without health coverage.
She didn't know she qualified for the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan.
Elder's family spent her final months fighting for Medicaid, unaware that she qualified for PCIP.
Her daughter says "she'd still be here" if she had had health care.
Aware of 'no options,' woman dies fighting for medical coverage

each tab can be called 1 count. So if you have 1000 tabs on you of 10 mg dbol which is common for a cycle that can be 1000 counts. Unless your driving around town with a shit ton of gear why worry, if you keep your stuff at home and happen to have tabs or a vial on you its not like there going to go search your house. Probably wont even do shit to be honest. Most likely just take it away and tell you to be on your way. Thats what they do for most low level drugs like weed unless you were an idiot. My cousin got pulled over with two blunts and the cop asked if he was smoking, he said no i was waiting till i get home.
The cop said well i have to take these, i cant let you drive around town with them in your car, I hope you have more at home.
From what I have learned about cops and knowing tons of leo, they dont give a fuck, they dont want more work to do. But if your going to be a prick to them then stand by they will fuck you with that night stick. My buddy is an old school cop and flat out told me he found a lb of weed in a trunk of a car once. He let the guy go, because the guy called him sir, was professional and polite. Most think weed and juice are stupid drugs to be illegal and dont feel like doing the paper work that involves it.

Fremont-Mills' A.J. Scarborough earned a fourth place medal and Nick Pittmon a sixth place medal for East Mills at the Iowa State Track Meet this weekend.
Madrid's 74 team points edged Manson Northwest Webster by 21 points for the Class 1A team title.
The Knights finished in 27th place with eight team points. The Wolverines weren't far behind with seven team points.
DES MOINES - Lexi Fisher won a silver medal and the Glenwood girls track team placed 20th in the team standings at the Iowa State Track Meet on Saturday.
DES MOINES - "Wow."
In all the excitement, hugs and cheers of winnings its first track state championship in more than two decades that was all Glenwood head track coach Mark Starner could muster.
The Glenwood boys track team closed the opening day of the Iowa State Track Meet on top of the Class 3A standings.
The Rams lead all Class 3A teams with 24 team points. Sioux City Heelan comes in after the opening round with 20 team points for second place.
Glenwood's day was highlighted by the gold medal-winning run by Johnny Fuller in the 3,200-meters. Fuller, who had yet to win gold at state in three previous tries, bested second place Ryan McMahon of Algona with a time 9:17.10.
It's back to the drawing board for the sidewalk repair work on the south side of Glenwood's Town Square.
District 98 State Rep. Greg Forristall, who represents western Mills County and a large portion of Pottawattamie County in the Iowa General Assembly, was arrested Wednesday afternoon, May 11, on suspicion of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated.
The Republican lawmaker from Macedonia was pulled over on U.S. Highway 92 near Carson around 3:30 p.m. after a Pottawattamie County sheriff's deputy observed an eastbound vehicle forced to the shoulder of the road and Forristall's westbound truck cross the center line twice.
MALVERN – Major changes are coming to the golf course in Malvern.
A redesign and reconstruction of the 2,600-yard, Par-35 course will include an irrigation system, sand bunkers, a lake and grass greens.
Yes, grass greens, will be replacing the synthetic "Field Turf" greens that were installed at the Fairview Country Club a decade ago as a replacement to the course's legendary sand greens that had been in place for decades.
Carrying a symbolic red, white and blue wrench, Republican presidential candidate John Davis made a brief appearance in Glenwood last Wednesday, vowing to "fix America."
The Grand Junction, Colo., home builder made a 15-minute stop on Town Square during his on-going effort to visit every county in the United States. Davis and his family are traveling the country in a custom-painted, 43-foot motor home.
"I know a lot of the candidates just focus on Iowa," Davis said. "I'm traveling to all the states because I'm committed to the entire country."
Auto department deputy Tammy Gammon has been terminated as an employee at the Mills County Treasurer's Office, Mills County Attorney Eric Hansen confirmed Friday.
Hansen said Gammon was notified in writing of her dismissal.
Until last week, Gammon had been on paid administrative leave as the focus of an investigation of "discrepancies" uncovered at the treasurer's office.
There's a new plan in place for Glenwood's much-maligned corner nodes on Town Square.
For 10 years, the nodes have been a source of frustration - mainly because of unsightly weed growth and a lack of maintenance. Now, a team of volunteers from the Glenwood Community Betterment - Beautification Committee believes they have developed a plan that will finally have Glenwood residents and visitors viewing the nodes in a positive light.

OLD Town businesses have reacted with shock and sadness to cafe Cakes And Ale closing less than a year after it opened.
Owners David and Marya Marriott, who opened the Devizes Road establishment, last June, announced their decision to cease trading through their website blog. They said they'd been 'killed by taxes' and felt that the odds of the business being successful were stacked against them from the start.
"The odds against new businesses succeeding for even a year are high, way above 50 per cent," said David, who lives in Wroughton.
"The odds worsen for cafes and restaurant businesses. "We knew that when we opened but life without risk is a kind of death. "We made mistakes. But we're not stupid and have lived and worked long enough to know how to avoid fundamental errors. We were and are idealistic but not naive."
David wrote about the "terrible trinity of taxes, VAT, National Insurance and local business rates" which blighted Cakes And Ale.
He believes those costs make it difficult for new businesses to establish themselves.
The cafe, based in a former furniture shop, was an unusual concept, selling beer and wine, but also tea, coffee, cakes, breakfast, lunch and supper.
Erica Fowers, the manager of The Core, next door to Cakes And Ale, said: "It is very sad to see a new business go. They came in just after us and it is a shame to see Old Town lose some of its vibe. "I read the blog post and thought it made a lot of sense, as things are very tough for businesses finding their way."
Jack Arnold, the bar supervisor at The Hop Inn, in Devizes Road, said: "It is weird to see it close down as I think Cakes And Ale, as well as the Core were doing well. It is a pity to see it close down as I'd heard good things about it."
Phil Saunter, who owns Los Gatos and Bistro Les Chats, in Wood Street, with Shareen Campbell, said: "It is a true shame to see them go as we know just how tough it is for small businesses. "I'm really sorry to see something which tried to be different and offer variety to Old Town close down."
Cakes And Ale's owners are now planning to sart a business renovating and customising vintage furniture, after many customers admired their cafe's style, furniture and décor. They also plan to continue selling cakes online.
"We take off our hats to other small businesses like ours that succeed against the odds," David said.
"We don't know how they do it but wish them continued success," "We want to thank the many hundreds of customers who supported us, promoted our business and became our friends. "We're really sorry that, having discovered us, we have disappeared from your view. It's not what we wanted."

President Alberto Fujimori's decision to call new elections and not to run as a candidate caused confusion in Lima Sunday, as analysts sought to understand the constitutional implications of his announcement.
In an unexpected move late Saturday, Fujimori announced Peru would hold a new general election, after his government was compromised by a controversial video showing Peru's secret service chief bribing a lawmaker.
Although he said he would not present his candidacy for the election, Fujimori gave no details on the date of the upcoming election or how soon he would leave office.
Fujimori had said he would also now disband the intelligence service.
While implying with his announcement he would step down, Fujimori nonetheless has so far failed to do so officially.
Opposition members began to express some concern over Fujimori's intentions Sunday, citing the president's tenacity in retaining power since he first took office in 1990.
Fujimori can resign as president but does not have the powers necessary to dissolve Peru's single-chamber 120-member parliament, according to constitutionalists.
For this to be possible, a government censure by Congress must take place on two consecutive occasions, the constitutionalists said.
Voices from the opposition called for Fujimori to quit immediately and to let vice president Francisco Tudela, a moderate conservative and former Peruvian foreign minister, preside in the interim.
Some people, however, want to see a new interim government to oversee the transition and ensure conditions are met for "fair and transparent" elections.
One candidate has already presented his candidacy for the next election.
Fernando Olivera Vega, 42, leader of the smaller opposition party the Moralizing Independent Front (FIM) -- which was responsible for releasing the bribe video to the public -- has announced he will run.
In what was seen as a tacit support for Fujimori during the last election, Olivera Vega had abstained from presenting his candidacy.
However, by doing so this time, he will challenge the request by Peru Possible party leader Alejandro Toledo -- who hotly contested the Fujimori bid at the last round -- that only one opposition candidate run.
Meanwhile, nothing has been seen or heard of National Intelligence Service (SIN) chief Vladimiro Montesinos, who was filmed in the 58-minute video giving a bribe to former Peru Possible member Alberto Kouri.
The content of that video, released late Thursday, implied that the 15,000 dollars Montesinos gave to Kouri was a bribe for him to switch to Fujimori's party -- which Kouri did shortly after Peru's second round election.
Fujimori's Peru 2000 party, in fact, was only able to register a majority in parliament after the defection of a number of opposition deputies.
Another major element of support for Fujimori throughout his 10 years in government -- the Peruvian army -- has also failed to comment on events of the last few days.
According to a report in the US daily the Miami Herald, Fujimori's decision to step down was a bid to prevent the release of additional explosive and potentially videos.
The daily, citing Peruvian sources Sunday, said at least two videos taped by Montesinos' agents and have not yet been leaked to the media -- LIMA (AFP)

Nokia (NYSE:NOK) followed up on its profit warning last week with an even bleaker earnings report yesterday as the company's revenues fell 29% y-o-y and operating losses nosedived to $1.7 billion in Q1 2012. However, a majority of the losses incurred were on account of non-recurring restructuring-related expenses in its Nokia-Siemens Networks division. Still, even after the one time expenses are accounted for, Nokia's operating loss comes down to $342 million, a sharp contrast from the $925 million operating profit returned during the same period last year. Nokia is facing a downhill battle as its feature phones face pricing pressures in the emerging markets and the newly launched Lumia smartphones struggle to make up for the Symbian losses caused by increasing competition from Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone and Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android-based smartphones.
See our complete analysis for Nokia stock here
Emerging markets
- What's The Outlook For The Wireless Infrastructure Market?
- How Is Nokia's Licensing Business Faring?
- Margin Expansion Key To Nokia's Performance As Top Line Is Likely To Remain Weak
- Nokia Earnings Review: Top Line Declines Slow As Mobile Networks Stood Strong
- Nokia Q1 Earnings Preview: Watching Cost Improvements As Demand Weighs On Revenue
- Here's How Nokia Can Benefit From Its Collaboration With The Orange Group For 5G Services
The most valuable market for Nokia has historically been the emerging markets where although its market share has been declining fast, it is still ahead of the rest in terms of total units shipped. By our estimates, Nokia's emerging markets division accounts for about 23% of the company's value, the most among all the divisions. Which is why we believe the worst news to come out this quarter is from this division.
Nokia's revenues from emerging markets fell more than 40% over Q1 2011 as the proliferation of cheap Android-based smartphones manufactured by Asian rivals ate into the volumes of its S40 based feature phones. Up until now, Nokia had been able to bring down the prices of its feature phones or enter into the dual-sim phone segment to compete and turn a small profit. But the entry of low-cost $100-$150 Android touch-based smartphones leaves it with little choice but to bring the prices of its feature phones further down to drive sales.
This will only serve to decrease operating profits in the coming quarters. Nokia's feature phone unit is already on the verge of plunging into losses, with its operating margins falling drastically from 13.5% at the end of the December quarter to 4.6% after March.
What we believe the company needs right now is to broaden its Lumia portfolio to include a low-cost smartphone for the emerging markets. The current Asha series is based on the legacy Symbian platform, which isn't competitive enough to stave off Android. And the only low-cost Windows Phone based smartphone it has right now is the Lumia 610, which is not cheap enough to address the flagging emerging market sales.
Developed markets
Meanwhile, Nokia's performance in developed markets continued to disappoint as revenues slumped 35% over the same period last year. Symbian smartphone sales continued to fall and the Lumia failed to make up for the losses due to its limited time and exposure in the market. However, Nokia's new flagship line has built up some momentum going into the second quarter, with the company shipping twice the number of units as it did in the previous quarter. Lumia's presence also helped perk up the ASPs of developed market mobile phones. But gross margins on smartphones fell almost 29% YoY, implying that Nokia is selling most of these phones at low margins to create initial demand.
Apple and the horde of Android smartphones in the market have created two firmly entrenched ecosystems that customers have familiarized themselves with. To create a third ecosystem with Microsoft, Nokia faces a long and hard battle but the first signs of this partnership coming along are encouraging. Q2 will be the first full quarter of the Lumia 900's presence in the U.S. market along with the Lumia 800C's on China Telecom, and a continued strong performance in the two key markets of U.S. and China should bring some cheer back to the battered stock. (see Nokia Faces Big Tests This Year In China And U.S.)
We are in the process of revising our estimates lower based on these results.

When I was a little girl I wanted a pony… actually, I wanted a Unicorn from the movie Legend… and I also wanted to be Lily when she is dressed up in all black and crazy looking.
I also used to daydream during road trips that I'd own a bunch of land, raise my unicorns, farm and hunt… while dressed up as the Dark Queen of the Universe.
Point is no matter how weird your childhood dreams were, most kids wish they had a pony, horse or unicorn.
Horse Haven is a new Facebook game from Ubisoft that is the kind of game that will suck you in, have you reliving those little daydreams you had as a kid… minus the whole Dark Queen of the Universe part.
Though, the kids and I did create an all black horse and named it Midnight so I got that going for me.
The thing that caught my attention immediately is that money from this game is donated to Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue that rescue horses who are destined for slaughter for human consumption. They also help horses who are neglected and abused. I like games that directly benefit some philanthropic efforts.
Like most Facebook social games this is an addictive amount of fun. You inherit a ranch that your, apparently lazy, uncle let go and it's up to you to rebuild it.
The game has three primary focuses: build up your ranch, train your horses to win competitions and breed horses to improve your stock. All of these focuses involve social aspects with friends who have the game. If you go to your friend's ranch and pet their horses or pull weeds you will get energy packs or special items.
You can gift your friends everyday and hopefully your friends return the favor. If they don't then burn down their farms!
Kidding, of course. That totally isn't an option… and if it was… I, uh, wouldn't do it.
The other social aspect of breeding is that your horses can… uh, fancy your friend's horses and then they can make beautiful babies together. This makes the immature side of me internally teehee.
There are some flaws in it when I play on my Mac but I find less glitches on my PC. I tend to close out of it and when I refresh the page all glitches vanish. The Horse Haven community forum is a great source of information especially for the known bugs for the game. If I found a glitch a quick search on the forum usually turned up any info I needed.
I really wish this was an app on the iPad!
Ultimately, this game is a lot of fun. My kids really like the game (ages 5 and 10) and we regularly fight… err.. decide who gets to check on the horses. I win that argument since I keep telling them I have to review it. So, go get addicted to a new game, friend me on facebook and give me some goodies, relive childhood fantasies and help a non-profit in the process.

Yes, I kind of figured Ville would go under the "others" on the topic And as a local I know exactly what holes Tomas is talking about (holes 10-12 in this layout), as the rough on those holes is very dense. You can see Juho having to pitch out at 3:10 of the second video, and the shot at Simon at 3:33 shows quite well how dense it is when you go off the fairway. You can also see it right at the beginning of the second video when you look at the left and right side forests when they are teeing off on 10. Luckily it's not that bad in most places, but those three holes have a lot of that.
It is an interesting point that Tomas brings that it's not really fun having to putt out of the rough and having no other options than to do just that. In less dense rough, where you have windows to throw forward and recover, the recovery shots are often interesting and challenging. There's nothing interesting nor challenging about a 15' putt out of the rough. Then again, when the rough is so punishing, the tee shot becomes very challenging and interesting, when you know you can't afford to miss and go off the fairway. I think in moderate amount such thick rough is reasonable, and on this course it really is at its worst at holes 7 and 10-12. In other places it can actually be fairly open (for a forest).
And yes, the channel also contains other videos from the tournament, and some interviews. I purposefully only posted the final round as that was the only round that was covered fully shot for shot.

Jerry Meyer is the national basketball recruiting analyst for Rivals.com. He tackles your questions in his weekly mailbag feature.
Previous mailbags
Got a question? Click here to send it to Meyer's Mailbag
What would happen to the recruiting class ranking of a couple Pac-10 schools if they were to land Angelo Chol?
How would Brandon Knight and Marquis Teague work together at Kentucky if Knight comes back for another year?
And is highly coveted 2012 recruit Archie Goodwin due for a boost in the rankings?
These questions and more are addressed by National Recruiting Analyst Jerry Meyer in this week's mailbag.
Chol and the Pac-10
Where do you think Angelo Chol will end up? Also, if he were to commit to Arizona or Washington, how would that affect each respective team's current 2011 class ranking?
- Brandon from Tucson
Chol is a tough read, and honestly I don't have a feel for where he is going to end up. Most every analyst is in my same boat, and you can make arguments for the chances of all five schools recruiting him: Alabama, Arizona, Kansas, North Carolina and Washington.
Chol, a 6-foot-8 center from San Diego (Calif.) Hoover, will use his last visit Feb. 12 at Washington. Shortly after that visit, he is expected to make his choice.
Wherever Chol lands, he will provide athleticism to the frontline. His skill game is raw, but he has the type of athleticism that can help most any team.
Adding Chol to the Arizona class would likely push the Wildcats from their No. 9 ranking to the top five. A big part of that push, however, is from the rising stock of Nick Johnson.
Adding Chol to the Washington class would jump the Huskies ahead of Oregon in the Pac-10 and national rankings, and place them somewhere in the No. 16 to No. 19 range in the national rankings.
Switcheroo rare on signing day
Are there any big-time class of 2012 recruits that could change their commitment come signing day?
- Brandon from Omaha
I'd be interested in readers taking a stab on our message board as to why this is, but basketball signing day doesn't have a sliver of the drama that football signing day has.
In fact the only drama on basketball signing day is if someone makes his decision on that day. In the eight years I've been working for Rivals.com, I can't remember a prospect switching a commitment on signing day.
If I'm wrong on that, someone please correct me on the message board.
For the most part, basketball coaches don't recruit prospects committed to another school. Now, I'm sure there are exceptions, but that is generally the rule.
What is more likely to happen is that a committed prospect's camp will send out feelers to see if a school would recruit the prospect if he were to decommit. But those type of switches take place before the actual signing period.
Cat talk
If Brandon Knight returns, can he and Marquis Teague play together in backcourt? Who starts at the point? Who plays the two-guard?
- Hova from Florida
Most NBA draft boards have Knight listed as a late first-round pick. Since he likely is not a lottery pick, there is that chance that he stays for another year. I wouldn't, however, get my hopes up Kentucky fans, since being projected as a first-round pick seems to be the threshold for coach John Calipari's players.
If Knight were to return to Kentucky, he would play the two, and Teague would play the one. Now, if there were ever a system that can accommodate two point guards, it would be Calipari's offense. But on the other hand, moving to the second point guard would likely influence Knight to enter the draft.
Knight doesn't have the quickness, change of direction and passing ability off the dribble to match Teague. Teague is one of the most explosive and shifty players with the basketball. He has an uncanny ability to move laterally with the basketball to get around defenders while still maintaining vision of the court.
Knight is a better shooter than Teague, so the natural set-up would be for Teague to be the primary ballhandler and for Knight to fill the wing as a scorer.
Wells playing well
Where do you think Dezmine Wells moves up to since the last rankings given his late summer and this season at Hargrave. Top 40?
- Steve from Cincinnati
Wells is a very good player and has a ranking at No. 66, which we feel matches his abilities. He is a power wing who punishes defenders going to the basket. In transition, he is effective as a primary ballhandler.
When the game gets congested in the half court, however, Wells is limited. Shooting from the outside is not his strong point.
There is no doubt that Wells is the type of player who can help a college team win games. He is mentally and physically tough, defends, rebounds his position and attacks the basket.
I'm not saying he won't move up in the rankings, but I'm not sure he is a good enough ballhandler and shooter in the half-court game to reach top 40 status.
Difference of opinion
Can we expect Archie Goodwin to rise in the rankings or drop even though he has a lot going for him with a slew of offers from top colleges around the country?
- Justin from Missouri
That will depend on what Eric Bossi and I see in him this spring before we release a new Rivals150 for the 2012 class.
His success this year and the recruiting attention and offers he is receiving were fully expected from what we saw out of him last summer. I would only take notice if he wasn't getting this recruiting attention and offers.
We do have an ear open to voices we trust, and we do take notice when players receive offers. But college coaches miss in evaluations just like we miss at times. The bottom line is that we base our evaluations and rankings on what we observe. We might not always get it right, but you know you are getting our opinion and not an opinion influenced by the agenda of other scouts or coaches.

18 Eggcellent Ways to Make Deviled Eggs from Parade Magazine
21 Deliciously Different Deviled Eggs Recipes from Kitchen Treaty
Saturday, March 26, 2016
So many great ideas here for deviled eggs! (And, really, they're always first to do at any party or holiday meal.) Thanks for including my Sriracha-avocado variation; I love that they have no mayo, but taste every bit as creamy.ReplyDelete
My eldest son is famous for his devilled eggs. I must get his recipe. Happy Easter Kalyn.ReplyDelete
An amazing selection - I love deviled eggs! Happy Easter, Kalyn!ReplyDelete
You know, I've never really gotten into deviled eggs but a lot of these flavor combinations sound awesome! Definite need-to-trys.ReplyDelete
Awww, Kalyn, what a surprise to see my post on Mom's Deviled Eggs here today!! I was getting ready to just share your link on my gfe FB page and then did the quick skim of all your links here, grinning from ear to ear when I saw my link. :-) Thanks so much, dear! I wonder if we could have a deviled egg tasting party some time ... maybe cutting the eggs into quarters for sampling. That would probably be messy, but effective, right? I mean after all "full size" deviled eggs are pretty filling.
By the way, speaking of mom, we're going to mom and dad's house for Easter today and she specifically requested that I make your roasted garlicky green beans with the red peppers. We all love that dish!
Happy Easter, Kalyn! Hugs,
Lydia I love the idea of using avocado to replace the mayo; brilliant.
Barbara, never enough good recipes for deviled eggs!
TW, me too! Happy Easter to you too!
Joanne, you must try them!
Shirley, my pleasure to feature it. I loved the idea of pickle juice! So glad've been enjoying that recipe ; Happy Easter!
The link to the ideas for hard boiled eggs isn't working. Any chance you could fix the link? We have tons of dyed hard-boiled eggs that we need to find something to do with. Thanks, love the blog.ReplyDelete
Thanks Justin, just fixed the link. Sorry about that!ReplyDelete
I LOVE all these variations on deviled eggs! They all look great. I have wanted to try smoked salmon and dill ones, and now I'm re-inspired!ReplyDelete
My kids go crazy for deviled eggs. Can't wait to whip some up for them. And some of those sriracha ones for me. Mmm.ReplyDelete
love the recipe. We have an Indian twist to it, and given the twist its no-where near the original ...and we still call it devilled eggs!! if you want to sneek peek- you can take a look at my blog.ReplyDelete
What a fabulous collection of deviled eggs recipes. And you included one of mine! Thank you so much, Kalyn, and a very happy Easter to you!ReplyDelete
The link to the cilantro avocado deviled eggs is corrupted. Leads to very objectionable material. Please fix ASAP.ReplyDelete
Sorry you had that experience; it looks like that person is no longer blogging and the site has been taken over. I have removed the link. THANK YOU for taking time to tell me!Delete
I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.
I've recently changed my comment settings so people can comment without signing in, but you will need to check the box to show you're a live person, and comments on older posts won't show up until I publish them. Thanks for understanding!
And if you really like the recipe, Pins, Shares, Tweets, and Yums are always appreciated!

I love college basketball because it is still a game that just often enough rewards hard work, preparation, sacrifice, team play and grit. Butler basketball personifies all of those attributes and when you pair that with the best coach in the game special things happen.
I hope Steven's never leaves. This is the perfect situation for him and his approach. If he were at Duke or IU could he ever recruit a kid like Roosevelt Jones? That guy is the perfect Butler player. So often the best player on the court but with his unorthodox style and less than ideal size/athleticism will play all 4-years and win this program many big games.

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the products and prices at Nutrition Express.
I use Fitness Labs NutraFit meal replacement as well as Champion Pure Whey Protein Stack. I also rely on German Creatine and L-Glutamine Powder by Fitness Labs.
At first I was worried about putting an extra financial pinch on my family. But compared to the amount of chicken breasts I'd need to buy from the grocery store, shopping with Nutrition Express is a great deal!
Thanks for the great prices!

Ok, according to the first page you link to, it says "An assertion is a speech act in which something is claimed to hold...in an assertion it is asserted that so-and-so"
It continues:
- 2.1 Presupposition
A sentence such as

is not true unless the singular term 'Kepler' has reference.
If we consider this in terms of your examples, we remember that Nagarjuna spent the previous 23 chapters negating the possibility of a referent.
So taken in context, they cannot be said to be asserting something.

Keighley 8 North Ribblesdale 5
There was definitely a feeling of que sera, sera for Keighley after this victory.
The elation at winning this derby to improve their hopes of avoiding relegation was soon punctured by news that Pontefract, who Keighley must overhaul in the table, had triumphed 14-3 at Scarborough.
Keighley have four games left to Pontefract's three but the gap between Keighley in 13th place and Pontefract in 12th remains at six points, with the latter still having basement boys Acklam to play at home.
A five-point haul for Pontefract there would put them on 43 points, which would mean Keighley would have to win at least three of their last four matches, which includes trips to Doncaster Phoenix and Scarborough and home matches against Wath Upon Dearne and York.
"We'll just keep battling on," said Keighley's director of rugby Graeme Sheffield, who had watched his side win a game of few chances.
On a day when intermittent showers made handling difficult, Keighley got off to a great start, left winger Sam Walker showing pace and power to score a try in the left-hand corner in the fifth minute after hooker Will Armitage had won a heel against the head in midfield.
They spurned an opportunity five minutes later, however, when Walker's optimistic kick downfield was deflected by a Ribblesdale hand, putting all of Keighley's forwards onside and, although they regained possession, they were not aware enough to capitalise.
Ribblesdale's handling was suspect early doors, but hooker Ethan Henare was a distinct threat with ball in hand, and Keighley right winger Sam Blakeley was sin-binned for offside in the 13th minute after a typically powerful drive by the front-rower.
But the visitors could not profit from having a man more, nor could they take advantage of Keighley twice kicking the ball straight into touch, fly half Danny McGee and scrum half Ian Woodwiss being the culprits.
It seemed that Ribblesdale must play better in the second half, which is why them denying Keighley a try just before the interval seemed so important - but it didn't prove to be the case.
The hosts brought on Josh Hannah for Steve Welch in the second row at half-time, Hannah having previously had a temporary run out from the fourth minute onwards as a blood-bin replacement while Leigh Sugden was having a cut above an eye attended to.
Ribblesdale's man of the match Henare gave away a penalty in the 48th minute, which Keighley full back Ollie Mitchell slotted from an angle on the 22 to stretch the lead to 8-0.
Prop Ollie Sugden had a lively cameo off the bench for Sam Booker from the 55th minute as the home side continued to do well in the line-out and even pinch some ball on Ribblesdale's throws.
The scrum was a different story, however, with Keighley sometimes slithering backwards as the visitors utilised an impressive bench that contained ageless prop John Thwaite and Matt Speres, first-team skipper Jonathan Richards being their other replacement.
Visiting full back Simon Bolland twice made searing breaks that came to nothing and, although McGee tried to keep them at arm's length via kicks downfield, they did get the nudge at a five-metre scrum for No 8 Sam Boatwright to pick up and score.
Ribblesdale then had an opportunity to win it when they kicked a penalty into Keighley's 22 but home second row David Iliff pinched the line-out ball to prevent any further late alarms and leave ninth-placed Ribb with just a losing bonus point.

text: Breathing devices fail test, but not ordered out of mines By Ken Ward Jr. April 17, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Federal coal mine regulators have concluded that a widely used emergency breathing device doesn't meet safety standards but have not yet taken any action to get the equipment out of the nation's mines.This week, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health issued a long-awaited report on its investigation of problems with CSE Corp.'s SR-100 model self-contained self-rescuer, or SCSR.NIOSH said an investigation of longer than two years has found a "critical" defect, in that too many of a random sample of SR-100 units had faulty oxygen starter devices.The report said that five units out of 500 tested by NIOSH failed a test of an oxygen cylinder that kick-starts the devices. Under federal rules, no more than three of the 500 units could fail the test for NIOSH to be confident the SR-100 had an acceptable failure rate."Based on the findings of the investigation, the field-deployed CSE SR-100 units no longer conform to the minimum requirements for the certification" under federal rules, the NIOSH report concluded.Though Pittsburgh-based CSE has come out with a new model with a different starter system, more than 70,000 SR-100 units are still in use in coal mines around the country.NIOSH officials said Tuesday that they are still talking with the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration, trying to develop a joint plan to deal with the matter. "We've had several meetings," said Maryann D'Alessandro, director of NIOSH's personal protective technology laboratory. "We'll continue to have meetings."Through a spokeswoman, MSHA chief Joe Main on Tuesday declined an interview request, saying he wanted to review the new report and discuss it with NIOSH before commenting. MSHA was given the 24-page report on Friday, and NIOSH briefed top MSHA officials on their findings in early January.The CSE emergency breathing devices have been under scrutiny for at least six years, when Sago Mine Disaster survivor Randal McCloy testified that the SR-100s of four of the 12 miners trapped by the Jan. 2, 2006, explosion wouldn't start.The SR-100 model uses a chemical process to generate oxygen, based in part on a reaction with carbon dioxide being exhaled by its user. Over the years, coal miners had expressed similar complaints about SCSRs not starting or appearing to start slowly. Government and industry officials generally dismissed those complaints, saying the real problem was that miners didn't understand how to use the units properly. Under federal law, all coal miners must be provided with a self-rescue device that will provide them with at least an hour's worth of breathable air to escape in the event of an underground fire or explosion.MSHA and NIOSH jointly certify the devices as complying with federal regulations, and the agencies have an agreement through which they are jointly charged with dealing with any problems that come up later when devices are in use.In 2010, MSHA and NIOSH launched a joint investigation of problems that were eventually traced to the oxygen cylinders used in the initial start-up of the SR-100 devices. Initially, CSE said it had instituted a "recall" of the troubled units, but later conceded it had not actually ordered coal companies to stop using the devices.Scott Shearer, president of CSE, did not return a phone call Tuesday, but said in a prepared statement that his company has "received no final directive from NIOSH or MSHA regarding the SR-100." "CSE voluntarily ceased production of the SR-100 when the company's internal quality control process identified a possible issue with the oxygen cylinder," Shearer said in the statement."We have remained committed to working with the agencies for some time to resolve any and all concerns," he said. "Once we receive final notification from the regulatory agencies, we will continue to develop appropriate next steps."In lawsuits after the Sago disaster, families of the miners were investigating concerns that the SR-100 cylinders, made by a vendor for CSE, somehow leaked, leaving the units without enough oxygen to start properly. Those suits were settled, and the terms were kept confidential.NIOSH said in its new report that an engineering firm hired by CSE had concluded that a loss of oxygen in the starter cylinders occurred at a threaded connection between the cylinder body and oxygen outlet assembly."When asked to determine the percentage of affected, assembled, SR-100s, CSE responded that it was less than 1 percent overall," the NIOSH report said."CSE could not identify a systemic cause or otherwise confine the failure to within certain lots," the agency report said. "Therefore, the failure could exist among all field-deployed units." Reach Ken Ward Jr. at email@example.com or 304-348-1702.

Kasey Kahne had been looking forward to 2012 for say, oh, 22 months before it got started.
That's because Kahne signed to drive for Hendrick Motorsports in April 2010 but the deal didn't being until 2012. He spent one season at Richard Petty Motorsports and then a year at Red Bull Racing before finally getting his shot in Hendrick equipment.
When that shot finally came, Kahne didn't exactly get off to the start he wanted. He finished no better than 14th in his first six races and fell to 31st in the standings.
While there was a solid explanation for each bad race (including Kahne being overaggressive at Phoenix to cause a wreck), there certainly was the danger of some doubt creeping in on whether Kahne and crew chief Kenny Francis were the right fit at Hendrick.
— Hendrick stable: Jimmie Johnson | Jeff Gordon | Dale Earnhardt Jr.
"I was feeling really good — I felt like our cars were fast, our team was on it, everybody was doing a great job and we just had a bad luck and I made a mistake (at Phoenix)," Kahne said.
"I knew that once things turned and the luck changed, we'd be in pretty good shape."
Kahne was right. He posted seven consecutive finishes of ninth or better, and then after three subpar races, had a second and seventh and then a win at New Hampshire, his second of the season. He already had won the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte earlier in the year as he earned his first Hendrick win in one of the circuit's signature races.
By the time the series left Pocono in August, Kahne had improved to 11th in the standings — an improvement of 20 spots in 15 races.
Kahne remained in 11th through the end of the regular season and made the Chase with a wild card. He started the Chase in fifth, spent the entire Chase between third and sixth and then finished fourth.
— Best on-track moves of 2012 | Brad Keselowski believes he can repeat Cup win
The fourth-place finish in the standings was Kahne's career best. His previous best was eighth in 2006.
"Winning the 600 was big to do that and get the first win with HMS," Kahne said. "Some of the poles early in the year (were big). … Coming from a ways behind, getting in the Chase and running fourth — I don't know if it was my best year.
"It was my best points year and probably my most consistent year. I'd like to get a couple of more wins and things but it was still a really respectable year, especially for the first year with HMS."
Highlight: The win at Charlotte in the Coca-Cola 600, one of the sport's biggest races, was huge. It showed he belonged at Hendrick Motorsports.
Low point: After starting on the pole at Martinsville, an engine problem ended his day. He finished only 256 laps (he had spent 60 laps in the garage) and finished 38th. That dropped him to 31st in the standings and forced him to make a huge comeback to get into the Chase.
Defining moment: His pole at Kansas on a repaved track after two days of testing showed what Kahne and Francis can do when given a couple of extra days on the track. They also had won poles at Vegas, Martinsville and Talladega. Those poles showed Kahne's ability to negotiate several types of tracks and why Hendrick believes in Kahne and Francis.
Outlook for 2013: Kahne is expected to be a championship contender in 2013. He now has a year under his belt at Hendrick. In his first season, he got off to an unexpected slow start. But two wins and a fourth-place finish in the standings made for a respectable season.
Now is the time for him to reach the level of Jimmie Johnson and challenge for the title.
