Wrestler blind since age 2: 'I really like winning'
EUGENE, Ore. - Avery Ingram has been wrestling for only four years.
"I really like winning first of all," he said. "I really like when someone thinks they're going to beat me and I just roll through and then beat them."
Ingram looks like any other prep grappler, but he is completely blind.
Wrestling works well for him as a sport.
"It seemed more like a martial art than any other sport, and it's also one of the only sports that I can do," he said.
As a 2 year old, doctors discovered a tumor on Avery's pituitary gland. The tumor pressed against his optice nerve, causing his blindness.
"It was hard," said Brandon Ingram, Avery's dad. "That right there changed my life big time."
But Avery's visual impairment hasn't stopped avery from wrestling. He didn't win a single match as a freshman but came back season after season.
"I figured some day I might get better, and it was still fun," he said of why he stuck with it. "In practice I'd win every once in a while."
On Friday, he'll wrestle at the district meet in the 145 pound weight class.
Avery hasn't done it alone. His younger brother Tyler also wrestles and is there to assist him.
"It's unique, and most people don't get to have that experience," Tyler Ingram said. "I feel like it gives me a different point of view in life and wrestling. I can really understand more things that I don't think other people really see."
And Avery's dad is his biggest fan.
"He doesn't let anything get in his way," Brandon Avery said. "I'm completely proud of him. I'm blessed through the roof that he's my kid. I wouldn't trade him for anything."
One of the blessing's for Brandon has been one of personal growth as he's watched his son overcome adversity.
"I was a little judgmental when I was younger," he said. "I had issues. I see life so different now. I see the good in everybody, the best I can, and it's all due to him."

Ohio Cold Cases Increase In Last Few Months
Attorney General Mike DeWine says the number of cold cases listed in an Ohio database of unsolved homicides has more than quadrupled since September.
The online database had fewer than 170 cases in September when DeWine asked law enforcement agencies to submit their cold cases. Now the database includes more than 1,000 cases, and expected submissions from Cleveland police and the Montgomery County sheriff in Dayton could double that size.
DeWine says tips have come in on some cases, and the hope is that the tips lead to arrests.
In all, more than 50 law enforcement agencies submitted at least some of their cold cases for the voluntary database. It includes 423 cases from Cincinnati police and 376 from Dayton police.

text: OverviewBack to top LympheDIVAs - Gauntlet Right Class 1 C4YW Beige - Large Item# :127284UPC# :GLR0396 Brand:LympheDIVAs Ship Weight:0.10 Click here to read a PDF brochure on this product LympheDIVAs Right Gauntlet Class 1 (20-30mmHg) Large - C4YW Beige At LympheDIVAs they believe that a majority of sleeves that were prescribed and purchased were worn a few times and then hidden in a drawer out of distaste and discomfort. Knowing that the compression sleeve cannot reduce the chance of occurrence or swelling by remaining in the drawer, LympheDIVAs has made lymphedema management easier by adding a dose of fashion and having superior comfort. A LympheDIVA enjoys wearing her sleeve because it is stylish, fashionable and fun. Women are more likely to derive the benefits of the garments simply because they are more likely to wear them and less likely to suffer from complications! LympheDIVAs is dedicated to creating medically correct, fashionable compression apparel for the savvy breast cancer survivor with lymphedema that will inspire her to feel beautiful, strong and confident. The medical requirements are obvious, but the emotional aspect of healing is important and often ignored. A positive mindset can often lead to a much better physical response. LympheDIVAs garments are available in a stunning variety of trendy colors and patterns. LympheDIVAs garments fit a wide range of sizes. A Fashion Statement LympheDIVAs believes that getting the hottest and latest patterns to their customers is important. LympheDIVAs' team studies the newest trends in patterns and colors by scouring the runways, attending trend-spotting trade shows and sourcing fashion publications. Just like the fashion power-houses in New York, London, Milan and Tokyo, LympheDIVAs introduces new patterns biannually in the Spring and Fall. Stunning Innovations LympheDIVAs set out not to just make a pretty sleeve but also one that is more comfortable and improves the management of lymphedema. Moisture-Wicking: LympheDIVAs products include moisture-wicking technology, which pulls sweat away from the body and is fast drying! Aloe Vera: A fabric finishing process which adds unscented aloe vera moisturizing micro-capsules for added softness and skin protection. 360º Stretch: All LympheDIVAs garments are knit with 360º stretch, which allows them to stretch as your arm bends and flexes. Prevents binding at the elbow. Fine Knit: A fine knit construction producing a smooth surface, lightweight, and replicating a 'second skin.' Graduated Compression: All garments are available in compression Class 1 (20-30mmHg) and Class 2 (30-40mmHg). Diva Diamond Band: A latex-free, silicone-free gripper applied directly to the inside top cuff of the sleeve. The Diva Diamond Band will keep your garment in place and your skin less irritated. The Diva Diamond Band is optional, garments are available both with and without this feature. Made in the USA: All LympheDIVAs garments are knit in North Carolina. The garments are printed, pressed and shipped from Massachusetts. With proper care, LympheDIVAs garments last four to six months with regular daily wear. Frequently Asked Questions Lymphedema and Compression: Do I have to wear a gauntlet with my compression sleeve? The answer to this question will depend on the nature of your own condition. LympheDIVAs suggests that you consult your doctor or physical therapist on the topic, specific to your lymphedema. Currently, the National Lymphedema Network position paper on exercise recommends that you wear a gauntlet and sleeve during exercise if you have been diagnosed with lymphedema. Dr. Andrea Cheville, Associate Professor of Physical Medicine at the Mayo Clinic wrote a position paper about the importance of sleeve and gauntlet combination wear. What classes of compression does LympheDIVAs offer and how is that compression defined? LympheDIVAs currently offers Class 1 and Class 2 sleeves and gauntlets which have graduated compression with the highest pressures at the palm and wrist, the gauntlet is specially made to have no compression at the wrist to avoid double compression when it overlaps the sleeve. Class 1 garments have between 20-30mmHg pressure at the sleeve and palm and have about 5-10mmHg at the arm cuff. Class 2 garments have between 30-40mmHg pressure at the palm and wrist and have graduated pressure to 5-10mmHg at the arm cuff. What is the difference between Class 1 and Class 2 compression? If you are unsure of your compression class, please consult your doctor or physical therapist. Class 1 (20-30mmHg) compression is generally for preventative to mild lymphedema. LympheDIVAs Class 1 sleeves are not recommended for severe swelling. Class 2 (30-40mmHg) compression for more severe lymphedema. Like other compression devices that utilize graduated compression, the pressure is highest at the palm and wrist and gradually reduces at the top cuff and upper arm, moving the fluid toward the body. Can I request a custom made sleeve? At the moment LympheDIVAs is not offering custom-made sleeves. However, they are listening to your concerns and recommend that you contact them. Any information they can gather from lovely DIVAs from all over the world will help LympheDIVAs create the finest products. LympheDIVAs does offer custom-designed sleeves, please contact them for a quote. When do I wear my LympheDIVAs sleeve? LympheDIVAs sleeves are not intended to be worn at night. The amount of time and degree to which you wear your LympheDIVAs sleeve will depend on the severity of your own lymphedema. Consult with your therapist or physician to determine how often you need to wear your sleeve. Divas embrace the challenges life throws at them with style and grace! Can I wear LympheDIVAs products on my unaffected arm or if I do not have lymphedema? Yes! LympheDIVAs sleeves are extremely fashionable and stylish! Compression apparel is known to improve performance – just take a look at Allen Iverson. By wearing LympheDIVAs products as a fashion accessory or performance enhancer, you help prove that the sleeve is more than just a medical device. I hate when people ask, "What happened to your arm?" Any suggestions on how to respond? If you have the time, tolerance, and vigor to explain lymphedema, then LympheDIVAs suggests you do so. Educating others on lymphedema is important. We need to raise awareness and increase attention! Divas are exceptional at gathering attention. However, if you are not in the mood, which LympheDIVAs understands happens after one too many interrogations, here are a few statements, short and sweet (and humorous for you,) to get you out of that situation real quick: "Trapeze accident" "Just saved a dog from a burning building. Got a little scratched up." "Climbed Mount Everest and got stung by a rare bee, which caused my arm to swell." "It's a religious statement, even Madonna is doing it!" "Yoga accident" "Bad case of tennis elbow." "I'm glad you asked, this is my fake arm. A shark ate my real one while I was surfing in Hawaii. The fingers look so real, don't they?" "I am a professional air guitar player. I had a rough practice last night." "Newfound addiction to archery" If, and ONLY if you are wearing a LympheDIVAs sleeve you can truthfully say, "It's fashion baby!" If you have any stories, statements, or sassy comebacks you would like to share, please contact LympheDIVAs! I understand that LympheDIVAs garments are fashionable, but how can I trust that they will safely manage my lymphedema? LympheDIVAs products are completely medically correct. LympheDIVAs garments are registered with and approved by the FDA. The graduated compression is tested using the most accurate equipment available. As long as you are wearing your appropriate size, LympheDIVAs garments are the premium product to manage your lymphedema. Sizing and Fit: How do I know what size to order for my LympheDIVAs fashions? LympheDIVAs recommends that you consult with your physician, physical therapist or certified fitter to measure your hand and arm. You may also refer to LympheDIVAs' sizing chart and fitting instructions to assist you in determining your size. A proper fitting is essential for proper care! You may not fit into LympheDIVAs fashions, but have no fear, LympheDIVAs is constantly researching and will be expanding to fit more sizes soon! Does LympheDIVAs offer sleeves of different lengths? Due to their 360° degree stretch, LympheDIVAs sleeves fit a wide range of arm lengths. Short sleeves are currently available as well. Get new product announcements by joining LympheDIVAs' e-mail mailing list and liking them on Facebook! I am a male with upper extremity lymphedema; can I wear LympheDIVAs products? If you fit within LympheDIVAs' sizing chart, of course you can! Gripper Band: Do LympheDIVAs garments come with a silicone border? LympheDIVAs garments come with something better – the DIVA Diamond Band, which they say offers you "bling and cling." A latex-free, softer alternative to silicone which is printed directly on the sleeve and not applied to an elastic band and sewn in. The DIVA Diamond Band will keep your garment in place and your skin less irritated. Insurance: Are LympheDIVAs products covered by my health insurance? When you order online, LympheDIVAs cannot process your insurance reimbursement. However, when you go to your local DME or breast care boutique that regularly works with insurance, your garment may be covered depending on your plan! Medicare and Medicaid do not cover any compression garments. Products Development: I have lower extremity lymphedema. Does LympheDIVAs have fashions for me? Have no fear, Lower Extremity DIVAs!! LympheDIVAs knows you are out there and they look forward to serving you. What LympheDIVAs likes to say is that they are "working their way down the body."

Please join LympheDIVAs' e-mail mailing list so they can keep you updated on new products! LympheDIVAs' Story The story of LympheDIVAs began in Philadelphia when two young breast cancer survivors, Rachel Troxell and Robin Miller, developed lymphedema, a side effect of breast cancer treatment that can cause permanent swelling in the arms. Their physicians and lymphedema therapists recommended a compression sleeve as the most effective way of controlling the swelling. When they researched the options for the sleeve they found that the only ones available were rough textured, heavy, hot, beige, and bandage-like. Frustrated and dismayed over the lack of options they had for compression sleeves, Robin and Rachel met with Kristin Dudley, a fashion designer, to discuss their idea of creating a more elegant and comfortable compression sleeve. In late 2007, Robin left the company. Soon after, Rachel discovered her breast cancer had returned. While she was being treated, she continued building LympheDIVAs, which brought her much joy during a difficult time in her life. Rachel died January 22, 2008, at the age of 37. Her determination and compassion to improve the lives of breast cancer survivors is very much ingrained in the spirit of LympheDIVAs. Today, LympheDIVAs' products can be found in retail locations nationwide and internationally. At Rachel's request, her father Dr. Howard Levin and her mother, Judy Levin took over the responsibility of running the company which their daughter helped found. In August of 2010, Rachel's little brother, Josh Levin, joined the company and is now running it with his parents. They all hope that LympheDIVAs' compression apparel will continue to inspire breast cancer survivors everywhere to feel as beautiful, strong and confident as Rachel was. Rachel Levin Troxell 1970-2008 Rachel Troxell, founded and served as the first President of LympheDIVAs. On January 22, 2008, although her body succumbed to the onslaught of breast cancer her spirit was never defeated. She continued to be a vital presence at LympheDIVAs until the last, where a caller could still hear a cheery "Hello, Lymphedivas, this is Rachel." It was her fervent wish that LympheDIVAs and its mission to provide products for the benefit of breast cancer survivors with lymphedema everywhere would continue. To this end her father, Dr. Howard Levin and her mother Judy Levin continue to work to assure that LympheDIVAs survives and thrives. Rachel was honored by Living Beyond Breast Cancer in 2008 with their "Founders Award". A video they prepared for the event can be viewed above. Mission Statement LympheDIVAs LLC is dedicated to creating medically correct and fashionable compression apparel for the savvy and stylish breast cancer survivor with lymphedema which will inspire her to feel beautiful, strong, and confident. About Lymphedema: What is the lymphatic system and lymphedema? The lymphatic system is structured like a web, occasionally draining into small lumps or nodes that filter the lymphatic fluid. The system works through the pumping power of the body's muscles. The muscles contract, increasing pressure within the lymph vessels, which causes the fluid to move. A series of one-way valves ensure that the fluid moves in the right direction. Lymphedema, the build up of protein rich fluid in the subcutaneous interstitial compartment occurs when either lymph fluid is impeded from flowing through the lymph vessels and lymphatic system or there is an excess of fluid that exceeds the carrying capacity of the lymph system. It collects in the subcutaneous and deep tissues causing swelling of the affected area and predisposes to chronic inflammation. What happens when lymphedema occurs in people after breast cancer treatment? When a sentinel node is removed, a number of nodes are removed, or if the nodes receive radiation therapy, the body is at risk for lymphedema. The loss of lymph nodes and vessels can result in lymphedema in the arm or other parts of the body. The amount of fluid collection is variable and at this time, unpredictable because of the variability of the insults and the lymphatic system itself. Why is it important to be aware of this? Any event which stimulates the formation of increased protein fluid and floating cells between the cells in the arm (such as infection, trauma and sun burn) or slow the flow of lymph fluid out of the arm (such as have blood pressure taken with a cuff) can increase the chance of fluid accumulating in the arm. Since no truly curative therapies exist, medical intervention is focused on preventing occurrences and recurrences and is most often dependent on patient self management and adherence. Prolonged or severe fluid build up can result in a more severe and permanent lymphedema. An Enhanced Medical Device Lymphedema is managed and treated through a variety of therapies. Compression armsleeves and gauntlets are one such therapy. LympheDIVAs armsleeves and gauntlets are Class 1 (20-30mmHg) and Class 2 (30-40mmHg) medical devices. Like other armsleeves they utilize graduated compression, the highest pressure is at the wrist and acts as a pump to encourage the lymph vessels to push the lymph fluid toward the body. LympheDIVAs garments are regularly tested using a Vista-Medical FSA pressure mapping system to assure proper compression. LympheDIVAs garments can improve patient compliance to therapy through increased comfort and better fashion. When should a sleeve be worn? LympheDIVAs recommends consulting with a doctor or lymphedema therapist in order to find the most appropriate therapy for each individual. All women who are at risk for lymphedema or who have mild to moderate lymphedema should, at a minimum, wear their sleeve and gauntlet during air travel and while exercising.

The ability to build a strong, rigorous case.
The skills philosophy programmes generate translate into higher performance on standardized tests for graduate education (GRE, LSAT, GMAT, etc.), as well as success in the professional world. In the GRE tests of 3rd year degree majors (major = main subject studied) in the U.S.:
- Philosophy majors rank FIRST among all majors on the verbal section of the GRE. They even outperform those who take a degree in English.
- Philosophy majors rank FIRST among all majors on the analytical section of the GRE. That's predictable, given philosophy's emphasis on analytical and critical thinking.
- Philosophy majors rank FIRST among humanities majors and ninth among all majors on the quantitative (mathematical) section of the GRE. Only students following programmes with a large mathematical component (e.g. maths and physics) scored better.
- Philosophy majors ranked FIRST among all majors on the U.S. Law School Admissions Test.
Kim Feazle, Philosophy Graduate and Financial Analyst, Hill & Knowlton
"When I went to law school, I was told by all my professors that they were going to teach me how to 'think like a lawyer.' I soon found out that I already knew how to do that; I had learned to do so as a philosophy major."
John S. Paul, Philosophy Major and Attorney (Bryan, Texas)
"The quality that Philosophy graduates possess and that is lacking in non-graduates is the ability to examine a selected subject, identify key components and their relationships to each other, and assess the consequences of a component change. It is this analytical ability of philosophers that gives them the edge over their contemporaries in the modern environment."
Tommy Attaway, Jr., Project Management Specialist, Switzerland
"While no single curricular path is the ideal preparation for law school, you should choose courses that sharpen analytical reasoning and writing skills. Law schools prefer students who can think, read, and write well, and who have some understanding of what shapes human experience."
From the Law School Admission Council's Official Guide to U.S. Law Schools
I have been pursuing a top job at one of the leading investment banks in the world. This position was "short listed" to 150 people as interviews went on concurrently in various countries around the globe. At the end of the process, I received the offer and am now working in New York as a Senior Strategist at one of Wall Street's leading firms. After accepting the offer, I asked the Board, who ultimately made the final decision, why I was chosen above the others. Without blinking an eye, the Head of the Strategic Hiring Committee stated a list of reasons, the very first of which was "Out of all the people we considered, you were the only one who studied Philosophy, not to mention having a Masters Degree in it. That told us immediately that you can think outside the box." I have come to realize the answer to the question perpetually posed, "Philosophy? What are you going to with that?" The correct response is "Absolutely anything you want."

Game over, I expect it to be a blowout by the Pacers but oh well.
Young's was wide open too, but he's an awful shooter, so he shouldn't be in that position to begin with.

A WINCHESTER rehabilitation ward in Winchester has been recognised in regional and national awards for its work supporting elderly patients as they recover from treatment.
The Royal Hampshire County Hospital's Clifton Ward won the Wonderful Workforce Solution of the Year category at the annual Health Education Wessex Shine Awards and has also been shortlisted for a national Nursing Times Award.
One of the regional judges said: "This initiative to empower patients and carers is really at the forefront of thinking about changing how we see the NHS."
The project, which was funded by The Health Foundation, aimed to ensure all hospital staff, from doctors to housekeepers, were trained in coaching conversations with patients and their families. The idea was to create a sense of partnership and, by doing so, help to rehabilitate the patient ready for their return to everyday life.
Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust's Associate Director for Workforce Development, Beverley Harden, said: "Recovery is a joint responsibility. We also involve carers and relatives, for example encouraging them to take the patient for a walk or to the café for a cup of tea when they visit rather than sitting by the bed.
"This project was about changing the quality of the conversations between staff and patients, to ensure the patients are partners in their own care rather than passive recipients."
Clifton's Recovery Coaching project has also been short listed in the Nursing Times awards, in the Care of Older People category. The team were shortlisted from more than 700 entries overall and the winners will be revealed at the end of October.
Hampshire Hospitals Chief Nurse Donna Green said: "We are delighted that the team from Clifton ward has been recognised with this award after all the work that they have put in, but the real reward is the improvements in recovery for our patients."

Prescott College selected in The Princeton Review's Guide to Green Colleges
Princeton Review and U.S. Green Building Council partner to recognize most environmentally responsible colleges and universities
"College-bound students are increasingly interested in sustainability issues"
Prescott College is one of the most environmentally responsible colleges in the U.S. and Canada, according to The Princeton Review. The well-known education services company selected Prescott College for inclusion in the annual edition of "The Princeton Review's Guide to Green Colleges: 2013 Edition."
"College-bound students are increasingly interested in sustainability issues," said Robert Franek, Senior VP, Publishing, The Princeton Review. "Among 7,445 college applicants who participated in our spring 2012 'College Hopes & Worries Survey,' nearly 7 out of 10 (69%) said having information about a school's commitment to the environment would influence their decision to apply to or attend the school," he added.
"Together with the USGBC, we are pleased to make this free resource available to all students seeking to attend colleges that practice, teach and support environmentally-responsible choices. We highly recommend the colleges in this book."
Created by The Princeton Review in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), "The Princeton Review's Guide to 322 Green Colleges" is, according to Princeton Review sources, the only free, comprehensive guidebook profiling institutions of higher education that demonstrate a notable commitment to sustainability in their academic offerings, campus infrastructure, activities and career preparation. The Princeton Review chose the schools for this guide based on a survey of administrators at hundreds of colleges that the Company polled in 2012 about their school's sustainability initiatives.

TORONTO — Zareinu Educational Centre of Metropolitan Toronto will be part of a provincial study that will assess agencies that help children with developmental challenges.
The study, being conducted by the Whetstone Group consultancy under the direction of the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services, is slated to begin later this month.
It "will be used to inform policy and program development for children and youth with special needs" said ministry spokesperson Courtney Battistone.
She added that the other two organizations in the study "are yet to be confirmed" and that "there is no plan for additional partnerships with or additional funding for any of the organizations being reviewed."
Zareinu receives assistance from the Ontario Trillium Foundation and UJA Federation of Greater Toronto, and also raises money through numerous charitable initiatives.
Mitch Parker, Zareinu's clinical director, told The CJN the study will help Zareinu gather essential data on how well it is delivering service to its clients.
Reached by phone on vacation in Michigan, he said the study would help evaluate "the quality and efficacy of our services and then report back to the government."
He said that at this point, he isn't sure how the government plans to use the results or whether they might translate into more provincial funding for Zareinu.
Parker said he received word in June that the province had tabbed his organization to be included in the study. The province has been talking about conducting a study for the last few years, he said.
"We'd been having repeated meetings with members of various ministries about trying to put Zareinu on the [province's] radar screen," he said. "As a result, the government seems to have heard us and are going to take a look."
For its part, the province says it's looking into how to help institutions such as Zareinu better deliver specialized education and services to children and youth with developmental challenges.
"The study will look at how these agencies delivered services in an integrated and multidisciplinary way," Battistone said.
She added that the ministry will "examine in detail organizations in Ontario that specialize in co-ordinated and integrated programs for children and youth with special needs in an educational setting; include an inter-jurisdictional and literature review summarizing co-ordinated and integrated service plans for children and youth with special needs in an educational setting that are relevant to Ontario, and then recommend how outcomes for children and their parents receiving integrated multidisciplinary services in a school setting could be best measured for potential future application to program evaluation and research."
The study should be submitted to the ministry next spring.
Parker said Zareinu is indebted to former Canadian Jewish Congress CEO and provincial Liberal candidate for Thornhill Bernie Farber for helping connect the institution with "contacts at the ministry."
Farber is a longtime supporter of the school.
Zareinu provides therapy and special education to children with a wide range of physical and developmental challenges from birth to 21 years in a Jewish environment.

In NASCAR, Sprint Cup drivers compete against each other only once a week on the racetrack.
The rest of the time, the jockeying in the sport occurs off the track.
MORE: Team grades | Biggest surprises | Top flops
What were the best off-track moves of 2012? Here's a look at the decisions that grabbed the biggest headlines:
1. Kenseth to JGR
Matt Kenseth shocked team owner Jack Roush when he told Roush on June 19 that he wouldn't return to Roush Fenway Racing in 2013. Roush was stunned. While he knew his team still had to sign Kenseth for 2013, he didn't realize that Kenseth was about to sign with another organization.
This, after all, was Matt Kenseth, a driver who had driven all but one of his 451 Cup races for Roush. They had won 22 races together, including the 2012 Daytona 500, not to mention the 2003 championship, and would win two more races before the year was over.
But Kenseth was unsettled without firm sponsorship at Roush, and when JGR contacted him with an offer to drive The Home Depot car for 2013, he visited the Gibbs shop and opted to make the move.
JGR had failed in its quest in recent years to sign Kasey Kahne and Carl Edwards. Kenseth is the first big-name driver it has signed from another organization since Kyle Busch, who already had been told that he wouldn't return to Hendrick Motorsports when Gibbs signed him in 2007.
Kenseth's arrival deepens the talent pool at JGR and keeps Kenseth as a legitimate championship contender.
2. Bowyer, Martin to MWR
MWR announced in 2011 that it had hired Clint Bowyer as a full-time driver for 2012, Mark Martin as a part-time driver and Scott Miller as competition director.
The result? They built on improvements already in the pipeline for a breakout season.
Bowyer won three races on his way to a second-place finish in the standings. Martin Truex Jr. had his best season at MWR, making the Chase and finishing 11th in the standings. Martin posted four top-fives while Brian Vickers had three while sharing the No. 55 car.
The success allowed MWR to re-sign sponsors NAPA and 5-Hour Energy to contract extensions, in addition to an extension for Truex.
3. Bristol track changes
After a lackluster crowd and a race with little of the traditional Bristol Motor Speedway action in March, track owner Bruton Smith opted to grind away the progressive banking in the top groove of the half-mile track.
Smith's idea was to create two tight grooves—one by the apron and one in the middle of the track—to create tighter racing and, in theory, more contact and more wrecks.
There were two grooves in August, but it was a middle groove and an upper groove. The result was an action-packed race that included a little bit of everything, including angry drivers (Tony Stewart throwing his helmet at Matt Kenseth's car, Danica Patrick flipping the bird to Regan Smith) and a lot of passing. Oh, and Denny Hamlin won the race for his first win at Bristol.
4. The 2013 Sprint Cup car
Only time will tell whether this belongs on the "best moves" list or the "worst moves" list, but from what we know of the new 2013 car, it at least is better to look at.
NASCAR, its teams and the manufacturers spent most of the year developing the new car and began testing it late this year. Created to give manufacturers more brand identity, the new Ford Fusion, Chevrolet SS and Toyota Camry bodies are slick racecars that seem more attractive to fans.
How will they race? We'll tell you at this time next year.
5. Grubb to Gibbs, Hamlin
Grubb knew he was out of a job when he won the 2011 Sprint Cup title as Tony Stewart's crew chief. Shortly after the season, he opted join Joe Gibbs Racing as crew chief for Hamlin.
The duo showed that it was a good move. Hamlin, who won only one race in 2011, won five in 2012 and entered the Chase as a serious title contender. The only problems were some uncharacteristic errors in fuel mileage and communication that thwarted them periodically during the season and caused them to stumble in the 10-race playoff, finishing sixth in the final standings.
6. House OKs military sponsors
It wasn't an overwhelming vote by any means, but the U.S. House of Representatives voted 216-202 in July to allow branches of the military to continue to sponsoring NASCAR teams.
While the U.S. Army already had announced that it wouldn't return to Ryan Newman's Stewart-Haas Racing car, the vote kept another key sponsorship—The National Guard with Dale Earnhardt Jr.—in place.
While the Senate would have had to vote to ban military sponsorships for it to become law, it was good for NASCAR that it didn't have to face another critical debate.
7. NASCAR re-signs Fox to big deal
NASCAR signed a deal with Fox that is expected to be worth an average of $300 million a year for the 2015-2022 seasons. The previous eight-year deal with Fox was for an average of $220 million a year.
The tracks, which get 65 percent of the television money while 25 percent goes to competitors and 10 percent to NASCAR, will now have a steady stream of revenue no matter the economy or ticket sales. That is key for the tracks, which primarily are publicly traded companies.
For teams, it means a possible increase in purse money.
For fans, it means that the first 13 races of the season will be on Fox or Fox Sports 1, the new network Fox is expected to unveil in summer 2013. NASCAR, baseball, college football and UFC likely will be the anchors for the new channel, which is expected to replace Speed.
The deal also gives NASCAR negotiating leverage as it works on re-signing the rest of its TV package with ESPN, TNT and other networks that might be interested, which means the sport likely will have a much bigger TV package in 2015.

This sort of just in from FIDO Oak Cliff:
We invited newly appointed Dallas Park and Recreation Department Director Willis Winters to join us this past Saturday to enjoy the festivities during Dash for the Beads, supporting FIDO Oak Cliff's efforts to bring a dog park to North Oak Cliff. Mr. Winters graciously attended, and was by our account impressed with the amount of interest and activity surrounding our event.
Today, February 11th, we had the pleasure of receiving a call from District 1 Council Representative Delia Jasso. The District 1 Representative informed us that she met with Mr. Winters today to discuss our proposal for a permanent off-leash dog park at Kidd Springs Park and to offer her support for it. Following is a letter we received from council woman Jasso:
Thanks for all of your hard work and your efforts with a dog park for North Oak Cliff. The success of the pop-up dog park as part of the Mardi Gras activities this past weekend, has certainly proven that there is a huge need for this in our area. Thanks, also, to all who participated in the event and other FIDO events.
It is my pleasure to announce to you that I have asked our new Park and Recreation Director, Willis Winters, to begin a site plan and cost estimate for a permanent dog park in the area where the pop-up dog park was held this past weekend. Simultaneously, my office will be sending a survey to the adjacent neighborhood.
I am very happy that we have worked together to come to this point and can't wait to see this to completion. A time schedule will be done when the site plan and cost estimate are finished. Again, thank you and I look forward to working together to "finish what we've started".

A LATE cancellation by foreign correspondent John Simpson saw the Winchester Dialogues arrange a hasty – and by all accounts successful – replacement speaker.
Mr Simpson, the BBC'S world affairs editor, was diverted to Crimea and unable to appear at the Guildhall on Friday (March 28). Lord Wakeham, who lives near Alresford, stepped in at the request of the cathedral's dean, The Very Rev James Atwell.
A former Commons chief whip, he is the only living politician to have been both Leader of the Commons and the Lords, and was known as a fixer rather than a philosopher.
He spoke with John Miller on the internal workings of government, as well as sharing humorous stories about parliamentary contemporaries as varied as Ken Clarke, Alan Clark, and Barbara Castle.
Asked about the 1984 Brighton bombing by the IRA, he talked briefly but movingly of the night his wife was killed, describing how he was trapped under rubble for seven hours, and how he only narrowly survived falling the depth of four floors of the hotel.
The Dean said that John Simpson had sent a message promising to come to Winchester at a later date.
The latest addition to the series was announced recently, as Channel 4 News presenter Jon Snow, a former chorister at Winchester Cathedral, confirmed he will speak on April 25.

THIRD Division Zeals FC will take a narrow one-goal lead into their second leg clash of the Spring Cup at second division Bratton, thanks to their 6-5 victory on home soil.
However things could have been a lot better for Jason Carter's side, who were three goals up inside 10 minutes and, having led 5-1 and 6-2, they will be kicking themselves if they fail to capture a quarter-final spot.
Jose Gualda put Zeals ahead, John Fenwick doubled the home team's advantage before a second from Gualda put them 3-0 up.
Richard Wyatt pulled a goal back for Bratton but at the break it looked as if it would be little more than a consolation as two more goals from Gualda not only took his tally to four but should have put the tie to bed.
Bratton pulled a goal back through Liam Griffiths early in the second half only for them to undo their promising start when Jamie Weeks regained a four-goal cushion for the hosts when he made it 6-2.
With Zeals coasting to victory they were stunned by a Bratton fightback which was sparked by Wyatt, who got his team back in the tie when he scored from the penalty spot after Dave Jones had been brought down.
A late two-goal blast from Ryan Mead got Bratton to within one goal but they were unable to conjure up that all-important sixth goal as Zeals held on to claim victory.
Holt 1 Trowbridge Town Reserves 2
SECOND Division Trowbridge Town Reserves, who are among the favourites for Spring Cup glory, will take a narrow one-goal advantage into their second leg clash against third division leaders Holt, who will fancy their chances of causing as upset when the teams next meet.
Holt opened the scoring through Matthew Hayward but they were unable to keep their lead as Dan Barnett got Trowbridge on level terms before half time.
A goal from substitute Ben Winn who scored within a couple of minutes in coming of the bench won it for Trowbridge.
MATCH OFF: Trowbridge Rangers v The Lamb Reserves.

TWO pupils from Lothersdale Primary School received recognition for their entries in a local writing competition.
The Airedale Writers Circle awarded prizes to Amber Ward, who is in year five, and Sebastian Ma'Har, who is in year six, during an event held at East Riddlesden Hall near Keighley.
Amber's story, Till Death Do Us Part, which tells the tale of Arthur Collins who lost his wife in the Great Fire of London in 1666, was highly commended.
Sebastian's entry, All Stars Genesis, which tells the story of two children developing super powers after getting struck by lightning, was commended by the judges.
The two pupils received their prizes from Settle author Jan Michael, who also told them a story.
Andrew Wheatstone, a teaching assistant at Lothersdale school, said: "We're very proud of them and all of the children who entered the competition. We like to see good writing."

"The West invites possibilities but ignores rules."
So writes Barbara Tyner, first-place winner in our annual writing contest's non-fiction category of "The West." Tyner's words, in a funny way, echo Territorial Gov. Lew Wallace's (also a writer) famous quote: "Every calculation based on experience elsewhere fails in New Mexico."
Indeed, New Mexico and the West inspired all our non-fiction entrants to consider—in very different ways—the unruly nature of the West's open spaces and rebel spirits.
Tom Ireland encounters the West from his motorcycle, seeing mostly a lot of road while pondering the nature of freedom.
Mario Gonzales evokes the unknowable mysteries of the desert, its inescapable power as home and inspiration.
This week finishes up the publication of our '08 writing contest winners. Congratulations, again, to all nine of them, and thanks to the hundreds who entered.
Look for next year's categories and contest dates in fall '09. Until then, keep writing. —Julia Goldberg

The Wild West Comes of Age
Barbara Tyner is a Canadian-American writer, painter and art historian who is currently wearing a lot of hats. Her return to the sunny Southwest from Vancouver's misty shores is proof of something someone told her many years ago in a small rez town: "Once you get that red New Mexico mud on your boots, it's hard to scrape it off." She rides her bike everywhere.
I grew up in the West, but didn't know it. You can't get more west than West Los Angeles without getting your toes wet. West as an idea never occurred to me; it was just a better address: Westwood; West Hollywood versus the screaming expanses of nameless suburbia East of Downtown. I didn't know what West was until I hopped the Amtrak East and unpacked my red foot locker in Gallup, New Mexico back in the late 1980s. It was a kind of Joad trail in reverse. LA was boom-boom-booming, but I traded in my club card for the quiet of vast, piñon-studded horizons and endless blue skies.
LA really was the outrageous place of legend back then, but in the Southwest, freedom seemed to whip me the way the bittersweet wind whipped the plains, making me giddy, whispering promise, passion, everything. These were the carefree, irresponsible days. HIV was new but distant; Global Warming unknown. A roadtrip to Canyon de Chelly didn't have to be a guilt-trip, and more than a kiss didn't require latex or fear.
My new home didn't boast a Little Tokyo, but the small reservation border town offered a rich cultural stew, blending Zuni Pueblo, the Great Navajo Nation, nearby Acoma, Laguna, sometimes even Hopi, and an Hispanic population with roots in medieval Spain. Add to this a scattering of outsiders, taking their turns in the US Public Health Service or at the newspaper or the college branch. It was a heady mix of unsettled but harmonious flavors, a microcosm of the Southwest. Folded in was the one ingredient I have come to understand as the real magic of the West: a sense of the haywire. The unpredictable. In moving East to the Southwest, I discovered the Wild West.
This West is a place of confluence upon which powers that be try to exert a little restraint or impose order. But forget it. The West invites possibilities but ignores rules. People here don't always bother to repair a broken taillight; red cellophane and tape will do. I learned in Navajoland that baling wire is a car's best friend. And when my old, sunburned Audi finally died I learned that entropy, like forgetting to check the oil, has its price. But I found you can make a great table out of an old car windshield. The first rule of the Wild West is that there are no rules, especially when it comes to re-invention.
The Southwest's legacy of re-invention is endemic, tracing back to the day an Anasazi ancestor made a clay pot, not a basket, defining herself a homebody, not a wanderer. Navajos bid their Canadian cousins adieu some 1,200 years ago, and have been re-inventing themselves ever since. Spaniards became conquerors or re-builders, depending upon the story. And the rest—from Georgia O'Keeffe to Julia Roberts—are still hopping off trains and setting up shop and new identities. We learn from the snakes to shed our skins, to become new and more interesting. Possibility and promise roll in on the tenacious wind.
But it's not all personal growth and pluckiness. Everyone knows that skinny, knock-kneed neighbor with bad teeth and meth zits whose friend rigs emissions tests for a few extra bucks. Try to get a stoplight installed on a dangerous corner, or enforce the 20 mph speed limit in Las Vegas' tree-lined historic district. Just try. As a journalist, I hung out with the city reporter of an un-named town who recounted a chilling story years ago: during an emergency meeting following the murder of a cop's wife by her husband, a police chief asked any of the assembled civil servants to raise his hand if the cops hadn't visited his house for a 'domestic.' Not a hand lifted, not even the chief's.
I moved back to this Wild West with my husband in September, after a few years' foray to another part of the West—Vancouver, Canada's westernmost city. Vancouver has a mythic quality for Canadians, its exquisite beauty, warmish weather and stylish sense of cool lures Canucks from their frozen farms, and out from under their plaid shirts and tuques. Vancouver is that really hip kid we longed to be in high school. But it is also strangely tame, lacking that sense of 'what the hell' we in the Wild West know so well. In a region bursting with over two million people from around the globe, it manages never to be haywire. The orderliness and lack of rule-bending shocked us, but it helped us identify what we missed about our West: its maverick style. In its defense, Vancouver is a big, teeming city and anarchy is a valid concern. Maybe growing population demands a certain social responsibility.
Our return to the Southwest has been surprisingly jarring. It's getting crowded. We all who moved here for breathing room are bumping each others' elbows. Maybe haywire is best in small doses, with smaller populations. While it's still the Wild West, at least at intersections, today's wildness feels more like selfishness. It probably always has, but the global stakes were unknown until now. As an archeologist in the 90s I drove 160 miles across the Big Rez daily, because gas was cheap and Al Gore was just a vice president. Sorry. I didn't know. But the party is over. We can't pretend our actions don't have consequences. In the 80s we learned condoms. Now we can learn sustainability.
Albuquerque and Santa Fe are embracing urban style—look at all the new condos—but urban responsibility? Hello public transportation. If the West is about re-invention, we can re-invent ourselves as responsible people. We're creative and free, remember? Being responsible is the new cool; green really is the new black. It's not exactly haywire, but it's alternative. It's almost sexy. The new maverick can roll in on a bicycle, a hybrid, the Rail Runner, leaving plenty of resources for the next wave of rebels. The West is expanding from within; it's time it grew up.

Reviews forLemon Drop Cookies
My Review
Average Rating
"To last12Ecrew -- Try placing in sink and running hot Tap water over those cookie sheets -- or let the sheets sit with hot water and/or hot, wet paper towels on them."
"I tripled the recipe but only had a cup of crushed lemon drops so I added a half cup of Country Time dry Lemonade mix. This combination made about 4 1/2 dozen, two inch wide cookies, just the size I prefer. However they took between 12-15 minutes to bake."
"awesome cookies - dogcat I used your suggestions- worked great and the lemonheads were perfectly sour- The one recipe last Christmas everyone asked for"
"Great lemon taste, loved them! I always use parchment paper for baking...less mess!"
"Loved this recipe. Delicious tart lemony taste. Definitely use parchment paper - cookies came out perfectly!"
"A new family FAVORITE! I used Brach's Lemon Drops. After putting the unopened package into a quart size Zip-Loc freezer bag, I bashed them with my meat tenderizer. Then I pulverized them into a powder in my miniature food processor. I did not have half and half on hand, so I substituted vanilla coffee creamer and the cookies are amazing! I baked them on parchment paper (thanks to all who suggested that) and I had no problems with them sticking."
"This cookies are fantastic!! I used Lemonheads candy for the lemon drops. Try looking for them in your local dollar store which seems to have a large selection of candy. That is where I found mine. Some reviewers had trouble with these cookies so I will share my secrets to a great cookie: first USE PARCHMENT PAPER!!! I cannot say that enough! The recipe says to "grease" a cookie sheet...there isn't enough grease in the world that will prevent these cookies from sticking! Use parchment paper, and they will slide off your pan easily. Next, to get the candies the right size, first put them in a freezer-safe (it's thicker) zip lock bag. Smash them with a hammer. The candies actually cut through the bag. Once half smashed, put them in a food processor and pulverize them. I used the zest of one lemon for a double recipe along with the juice of half a lemon. It really added to the flavor. After baking, leave the cookies cool for about 2 minutes on the pan then transfer to a wire cooling rack that is COVERED WITH PARCHMENT PAPER. Do NOT put the cookies directly on the wire rack; they will stick. I even tried wax paper. The cookies stuck to the wax paper! Parchment is the way to go. Once I put that down, they slid off the pan and easily slid off the cooling rack. The cookies taste great and I will definitely make them again, but parchment paper is the key to a successful recipe."
"This was easy and tastes wonderful!"
"Very yummy! I added a little yellow food coloring for appearance and a teaspoon of lemon extract to enhance the flavor. The whole family chowed them, so I am off to the kitchen to make a second batch. My son, who is not into sweets, wants the recipe."

No doubt: Armstrong a state champ
February 24, 2013
DENVER – Just perfect.
Eagle Valley's Andy Armstrong brought it home, winning the Class 4A 220-pound state wrestling championship Saturday night at the Pepsi Center in Denver by demolishing Canon City's Garrett Benell, 14-3.
One year after finishing fifth at this tournament, Armstrong is on top of the mountain with a sparkling 40-0 record.
He is Eagle Valley's first state champion since Chris Harvey won at 160 pounds in 2006.
And that's another thing – Armstrong's name goes up on the wall of the wrestling room at Eagle Valley in Gypsum, along with guys like B.J. Jaramillo (103 pounds, 2005), MIke Long (heavyweight, 2000) Justin Speakman (140, 1999) and Nathan Bryant, the school's only two-time winner (167, 1984 and 185, 1985), just to name a few.
The 16th state champion in school history, Armstrong capitalized early when Benell tried to shoot him. The Eagle Valley senior quickly turned his body over Benell's for a two-point reversal. Benell escaped Armstrong's hold, and the score was 2-1 after one.
Recommended Stories For You
It will be a trivia note in history, but Benell actually led this match briefly with a takedown early in the second, but Armstrong flipped himself over for the reverse, and had the lead for good.
Armstrong spent most of the rest of the second period on top of Benell, working his left leg to turn him. After a stalemate near the end of the second, Armstrong finally got the turn and a 6-3 lead.
Armstrong took complete control of the bout in the third period, blowing out of his bottom position for one point. He easily rebuffed another attempted advance by Benell and turned that into an easy two-point takedown. The Devils senior eventually worked Benell onto his back for three-point near fall, and a 12-3 lead. With around 10 seconds left, Armstrong earned three more points with back time to ice the win.
A rather soft-spoken guy, Armstrong appeared to be pointing at his family in the stands of the Pepsi Center, while he took off his red leg band. He then gave big hugs to Devils head coach Ron Beard and assistant coach Luke Cross.
Ty LaFramboise ended up taking fourth at 182 pounds. Late Friday, he beat Canon City's Anthony Abbott, 6-3. The senior kept working his way back with pins Saturday.
LaFramboise put Mesa Ridge's Tremell Stanley on the mat in 2:23, and wasted little time of disposing of Vista Ridge's Jacob Hawthorne. That pin came at 41 seconds.
In the third-place match, LaFramboise lost a heartbreaker, 4-3, to Roosevelt's Josh Semmler.
Joey Sanchez got the best of Palmer Ridge's Phoenix Versey, 7-5, in a wrestle-back late Friday night. He just missed out on a medal – the top six in each class make the podium – when he was pinned by Broomfield's Demetrius Zissimos early in the third period Saturday.

SELFIES — photographic self-portraits usually snapped on a mobile phone — lit up the town as part of a digital project to show what Bolton represents.
Bolton at Home had asked Boltonians to take "Bolfies" — Bolton selfies — ahead of the light show on Monday night.
About 600 images of the town and its people, from the 19th century to the modern day, were displayed on the arches in Cheadle Square.
Gaynor Cox, arts officer for Bolton at Home, said: "The group are having a whale of a time, seeing their pictures up on display.
"It's great to see all their hard work come to fruition.
"This whole show is a fantastic celebration of Bolton and what the town represents."
The show was part of the Big Digital Project, an initiative aimed at communities in low areas of engagement with the arts.
Eddie Birtles, aged 21, of Great Lever, took a Bolfie of himself outside Bolton Town Hall.
He said: "Bolton is my hometown — I was brought up here and my mates are here.
"It just has that pull on you. I feel comfortable here in a way that I might not somewhere else.
"The project is awesome. It's great being part of the group, everyone is like a big group of brothers."
The final showpiece was put together by artists Andy McKeown, Peter Walker and David Harper from externalGalleries.
Mr McKeown and his team have been across Greater Manchester and are set to visit Rochdale, Oldham and Salford.
They have also done light shows in areas such as Nottingham, Birmingham and York.
Mr McKeown said: "This is a fantastic setting — it's one of the nicest places we've ever projected onto.
"The photos are beautifully posed. They are very, very classy photos — an amazing collection.
"This light show makes you appreciate the good things about Bolton, and I have to say it's a fabulous place."
The team will finish its tour of Greater Manchester with a grand showpiece in Lloyd Street, opposite Manchester Town Hall, on March 29, which will combine images from the region's 10 boroughs.

About the hotel
The Hotel d'Inghilterra has its origins in the most aristocratic and elegant period in Rome's history: monarchs, princes, artists and screen idols have always made it their home in the capital, attracted by flawless hospitality and an ideal location near Piazza di Spagna. The original building dates back to the 16th century, when it was built to serve as guest quarters for the nearby palazzo of the illustrious Torlonia family. Visiting friends and compatriots of the poet John Keats, who lived in Piazza di Spagna, stayed there, and when the building became a hotel in 1845 it took the name Hotel d'Angleterre.
Since that time the hotel has built a reputation as the preferred Roman base for an elite international clientele. Rooms at the D'Inghilterra Hotel come with crystal chandeliers, antique furniture and marble bathrooms. Each is air-conditioned and features a flat-screen satellite TV, minibar and safe.

A great run by David Ferreira and a good finish from Fabian Castillo keep FC Dallas at the pinnacle of the MLS table.
Dallas scored the game's only goal in the 33rd minute through Fabian Castillo. David Ferreira burst out of midfield on a counterattack and found Castillo at the edge of the box. Castillo then cut inside and placed his shot in the far corner.
The win gives Dallas 27 points, three more than the New York Red Bulls, who are top in the East. San Jose, meanwhile, sinks to 3-5-6 on the year, outside of the playoff spots.

OROVILLE — With acceptance of new trustee Lloyd Boyer's resignation Wednesday night, the governing board of Oroville City Elementary School District agreed to appoint a provisional replacement rather than hold an expensive special election.
The board also approved a request to submit a waiver to the state Department of Education to modify the extended school year services offered to specific special education students.
Boyer submitted a letter of resignation to the district on Jan. 29. He joined the board last December.
Early in the meeting, Boyer told the other trustees and the audience that he's resigning due to a new career. In his new job, his hours are extended and he spends a lot of time out of town.
"I don't have the time that's needed," Boyer said.
The trustees later officially accepted his resignation and went on to the agenda items pertaining to steps they could take to fill the position.
State law allows the board to either appoint a replacement or hold a special election.
Without any discussion, the board voted unanimously to fill the position through an appointment.
The district will be advertising the opening soon, and the board will likely fill the vacancy at a regular meeting April 10.
The meeting also included a public hearing on the extended school year services, which the board voted on later.
During the hearing, Superintendent Penny Chennell-Carter explained the action.
Last year, the district had an extended school year program for some special education students, but district officials later learned a waiver could be obtained to modify the number of days and hours those children attend.
The modification will reduce the schedule from 20 days a week at four hours a day to 15 days a week at 5.5 hours a day.
Chennell-Carter said it will enable OCESD to schedule those classes to coincide with Butte County Office of Education's schedule, and save the district money in transportation and other costs.
No one from the public commented and the hearing was closed. The board later voted unanimously in favor of the modification.
In other business, the trustees also began the process of looking at ways to reduce the district's spending.
Assistant Superintendent of Business Ruthie Anaya presented an updated multi-year budget projection, cash-flow analysis and an enrollment projection that included several possible options the board could take to cut spending. Some of those options included cutting teachers, dropping a grade at one school and cutting the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) at another.
None of the trustees liked those options.
One reason the board has to consider cuts now is to meet the state's March 15 deadline for issuing layoff notices to certificated employees.
Although the board spent nearly an hour going back and forth over the options, Anaya emphasized that the district is still waiting for the governor's budget and still showing deficit spending. She said if the district continues to deficit spend, it won't survive.
Associate Superintendent Andrea Dunn said this is the only time for the board "to do this."
"It's very difficult to give notice ... but one thing we have been able to do is bring teachers back," Dunn said, adding that can't be guaranteed.
Eventually, the trustees reached agreement to direct Chennell-Carter to write up a resolution calling for the reduction of 4.34 full-time-equivalent positions.
Chennell-Carter will return with the resolution for reduction in force at the next meeting, Feb. 20.

11 Style Rules to Break Right Now (TEST)
Let's start with the big gun. Yes, Sony's ultra-HD TV costs a fortune. And no, the Super Bowl won't be broadcast in 4K resolution. But hear me out. First, there's nothing like watching the game on an 84-inch screen. Second, if you're going to upgrade to a theater-quality HD television, you might as well be ready for the coming firestorm of 4K content. At a resolution of 3840 x 2160 and 8 million pixels on the screen, 4K movies will look astounding on the Sony.
Saner alternative: Consider Sony's excellent 1080p option, the 54.60-inch LED HX850 Internet TV, which sells for $2599.99.
The DirecTV Genie, a whole-house DVR system that can record 1TB of video, lets you watch multiple shows at the same time in four different rooms of the house. It'll come in handy during your Super Bowl party when the kids and non–sports watchers want to see something else. The Genie system supports 1080p video; the base package for local stations starts at $24.99. As a bonus, the HD DVR connects to your Wi-Fi network. That way, you can tap in with an iPad to watch the game as well.

Heres an assessment and outlook for the players who played a serious role in the past season, injured or not.
JO A perennially injured player with a $20 million/yr contract. Is incapable of taking over a game even when healthy. Can create his own shot, but with a low percentage. Probably doent contribute to team chemistry because he demands the ball when on the court but cant deliver. An outstanding defensive player and could easily be defensive player of the year if he put his mind to it. No off-court issues. Bottom line: will NOT be traded and will start but due to his health issues will see action in less than 55 games.
Tins Theres something going on with Jamal besides injury. Attitude, maybe? He seemed ideal for JOBs ill-advised uptempo philosophy, i.e., unforced turnovers, impossible 3s, ineffective offensive rebounding and terrible defense. Something happened to Jamal this past season between game 15 20. What? He has a terrible off-court record. Salarys not that bad. No longer young but I believe has upside potential in the right situation. Bottom line: will be traded.
Granger Our current star, a very solid player. Hes no Ron Artest on defense (who is?), but hes good enough in terms of perimeter defensive. No off-court issues. DG is now the face of the current franchise. Had a break-out year in 07/08 thanks to JO injury. Untouchable in terms of trade. Bottom line: will continue as a starter next season. Note, this guy deserves a cool nick-name.
Murph Gave us all hes got, but JOB is right, on a playoff-bound West Coast team, he would not be a starter. Dependable, doesnt sulk with lame injuries when he takes a breather on the bench. Despite size, plays as a shooting guard. Accuracy is inconsistent, and takes way too many threes. Cant defend consistently either. True front-court team mates get into foul trouble trying to help out on his defensive lapses. Makes way too many $ for his value and his contract is too long. No off-court issues. Bottom line: will be offered as trade bait, but will probably be a Pacer next season. This is not all bad as he will handle JOs duties when JO is on the bench with injuries.
Dunlevy Just finished his best season ever as a pro. Hes an excellent ball handler for his size. His size and transition game puts a lot of pressure on opponents defense. Best 3-point shooter on the team and fits JOBs misguided game plan (you know, heave a 3 with 16 seconds on the clock). A liability on defense, but then so was Reggie in his later years. Can play at two positions. Salary not out-of-line for last seasons performance. Zero issues off-court. Bottom line: Mike will be a Pacer next season, and will start!
Foster Its hard not to like this guy. He doesnt complain, leaves everything he has on the floor, a fundamentally very solid non-scoring, rebounding and defensive specialist. Plays better defense than anyone on the team because he plays position defense. Actually sets picks and blocks out (a novel idea!). Pays reasonable and there are no off-court problems. Bottom line: May be offered as trade bait but hell be back and hell start more games than not.
Williams Has nice size and athletic ability but is dumber than mud. You know, bought a car but drives without a license (every 16-year old kid in America knows you need a drivers license). Didnt show up for court date. Hangs with drug user, gun carrying buddy and a wanted murderer so he wouldnt pass anyones man-in-the-street IQ test. Didnt develop much this past season but shows promise and isnt especially strong, defensively. His salary makes him tradable. Bottom line: Will be traded in order to cleanse the collective team character, hopefully for a late 1st-round draft pick.
Diener Amazing assist-to-turnover ratio. Much better than he looks because lets face it, he appears to be in the 9th grade. I want him on the floor late in the 4th Q if we have at least a 6 point lead. Cant really create a winning shot if you need a basket but hes a great insurance policy when you have JT for a starter. Can get you a 3 when you need it since defensively opponents drop off him to double guys in the paint. No known off-court issues and has a reasonable contract. Cant imagine hes in demand for trading purposes. Bottom line: Hell be a Pacer next season and there will be nights when well be glad we have him.
Murray Nice size for a point guard. Can hit the 3. Inconsistent from night-to-night and at both ends of the floor. Low in basketball IQ but seems like there is upside potential if he get playing time. No publicly known team chemistry issues and has behaved off-court at least so far. Cheap and contract length is ideal. Bottom line: Will continue as a Pacer next season, perhaps as a back-up if the team finagles a true point guard.
Everyone Else On the Roster Including Ike Trade fodder for the rebuilding that has to come.
