Hampton & Richmond Borough striker Charlie Moone responded to joint boss Paul Barry's red card blast with a late match winning double against Hendon on Monday.
Strike partner Dave Tarpey and Moone both saw red in the first half – the first for an alleged stamp and the second for using abusive language towards referee Chris O'Donnell – as the Beavers crashed 2-1 to Ryman Premier League play-off chasing Lowestoft Town.
Moone's reaction was to come off the bench on Tuesday with his side trailing 3-2 to Hendon – having led 2-0 at half-time – to first level matters on 78 minutes and then fire a stoppage-time winner.
Barry has been left frustrated by his side's indiscipline in recent weeks that has seen men collect a host of yellow and red cards.
And Moone, who took his season's league tally to 31 goals, was only too happy to a smile back on the manager's face.
"I've never been sent off in my career and it did not feel good," he said.
"By the letter of the law the referee was right to send me off, but I thought it was harsh.
"I'm not condoning what I said, but it takes a lot to be sent off for foul and abusive language in our game. It was the sort of thing said on the pitch every week.
"Monday was the perfect opportunity to make up for it.
"It was a great way to win the game and I was really happy to get two goals."
Thamesmead Town visit the Beveree on Saturday.

The design of these card backs was simple, but effective; striking scenes from the movie ALIEN used to sell the 3D dioramas inside. It is worth noting that these wall reliefs were sculpted by SOTA, who at the time were also sculpting high-end ALIEN busts for Palisades Toys. While the wall reliefs were no where as detailed as the busts, their cool design and affordable price tag made them worth owning. For those looking to add the ALIEN wall reliefs to their collection, BigBadToyStore.com still has the two Series 1 colored versions in stock.

Last year's CSA experience marked the first time I'd laid eyes on a kohlrabi, let alone had to figure out how to cook it. It's oddly shaped, somewhere between the size of a tennis ball and a softball with long, leafy tentacles—it's kind of odd all around. But once you get past its looks, the vegetable actually is pretty cool, with crunch similar to a not-quite-ripe pear and a flavor on the taste continuum between tart and sweet.
Local Harvest, the searchable database I mentioned in last week's post, has a great explanation for which parts of this cabbage-family vegetable you can eat: "Both the leaves and swollen underground stem are edible,
specially the stem which can be green, white, or purple. Its flavor is milder than a turnip's. If young and tender they may be eaten raw, very thinly sliced." Local Harvest also suggests adding it to salad and stir fry, or snacking on it with cheese.
To be perfectly honest, I don't remember how we used up last year's kohlrabi (we got green ones, not the beautiful purple varietal). This year, we made a refreshing kohlrabi-apple slaw (pictured up top) from the site A Veggie Venture, whose tagline "Veggie Inspiration from Asparagus to Zucchini" really hits the mark. The slaw was, in a word, awesome. It only requires eight ingredients total, many of which likely already stock your kitchen shelves.
The real key here, we discovered, was to use a mandolin to cut up the kohlrabi and apple into thin matchsticks. You can prep ahead of time, but wait on the apple until just before adding the dressing (the lemon juice in it prevents browning). We made ours a day ahead; the vegetable and fruit both stayed crunchy and delicious. It was a tasty, refreshing addition to a summer BBQ.
Here's the link to the slaw again, plus a few other recipe ideas for kohlrabi. We haven't tried them yet, but they all look great:
Kohlrabi and Apple Slaw with Creamy Coleslaw Dressing, A Veggie Venture
Roasted Kohlrabi, A Veggie Venture
Kohlrabi Risotto, The New York Times
Kohlrabi Home Fries, The New York Times
Kohlrabi Fritters with Herbs, My Conscious Eating
Next time you get to take home this alien-looking vegetable in your CSA share, be not afraid. Instead, embark on a new culinary adventure with it. Your stomach won't be sorry. Next week: cabbage and a recipe from Mark Bittman.

Smoking cessation - medications; Smokeless tobacco - medications; Medications for stopping tobacco
Your health care provider can prescribe medicines to help you quit tobacco use. These medicines do not contain nicotine. They work in a different way than nicotine patches, gums, sprays or lozenges. They are not habit-forming.
These medicines can:
Like other treatments, these medicines work best when they are part of a program that includes:
BUPROPION (Zyban)
Bupropion is a pill that may cut down your craving for tobacco.
Bupropion is also used for people with depression. It will help with quitting tobacco even if you do not have problems with depression. It is not fully clear how bupropion helps with tobacco cravings.
Bupropion should not be used for people who:
How to take it:
Side effects of this medicine may include:
Varenicline (Chantix) helps with the craving for nicotine and withdrawal symptoms. It works in the brain to reduce the physical effects of nicotine. This means that even if you start smoking again after quitting, you will not get as much pleasure from it when you are taking this drug.
Most people tolerate varenicline well. Side effects are not common, but can include the following if they do occur:
NOTE: Use of this medicine is linked to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
The following medicines may be helpful in quitting smoking when other treatments have not worked. The benefits are less consistent, so they are considered "second-line" treatment.

Price pleased with first look at expanded replay
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Sunday's game was the first for the Reds this spring during which the new instant replay challenge system was in play, and manager Bryan Price utilized and lost his challenge on a tag play at second base during the fifth inning.
Hank Conger knocked in Erick Aybar with a ground single to short right field. Roger Bernadina made his throw to the plate, and as Aybar scored, catcher Brayan Pena caught the peg a few steps toward the first-base line and tried to toss out Conger at second.
Shortstop Ramon Santiago made a sweep tag, but umpire Jim Reynolds called Conger safe.
After a review of 2 minutes, 15 seconds, the call was upheld by umpire Gerry Davis, viewing it on site in a truck. Under the new rule, Price lost his ability to challenge another play before the seventh inning, although the umpires can use their discretion to have any play reviewed.
"It worked out really well, actually," Price said after the Reds dropped a 3-1 decision to the Angels at Tempe Diablo Stadium. "We didn't get the call overturned, but we got a chance to have more dialogue with the umpires. As far as the protocol goes, going out there and engaging and kind of understanding the dos and don'ts.
"One thing that was terrific was that they kind of conferred first so that we didn't have to unnecessarily use a challenge if maybe [another] umpire had a clearer vantage point and overturned that call before using a challenge. And that puts the onus on the other manager. Pretty interesting stuff."
Price said he was told that four replay angles were viewed in the truck and that all were inconclusive. Another angle that showed the play was conclusively called right was not fed to the truck, he added.
"Because of the inconclusive angles, they couldn't overturn the call," he said. "But the one angle that was conclusive provided the same result anyway. It all worked out."
During the regular season, all calls will be made by an umpiring crew stationed in a replay studio at Major League Baseball Advanced Media offices in New York.
"They're getting less confusing as we're absorbing it, trying it every day," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia, whose club has been involved in multiple replay games this spring. "I think the whole logistics of seeing the replay, getting it to the umpire, will be better during the season because of the ability to see the play from many angles, hopefully in a timely fashion, from New York."

A new video, "U.S. Dairy Farmers Care," tells the story of dairy farmers and their commitment to their animals, the environment, local communities and consumers. Merck Animal Health, a company committed to the success of dairy farmers, created the three-minute, animated video to help dairy farmers share their positive stories with non-agricultural audiences.
"This video pays tribute to the more than 55,000 dairy farm families dedicated to providing our country and the world with high-quality, nutritious milk and dairy foods," said Rick Cozzitorto, dairy marketing manager for Merck Animal Health. "And, they do so while caring for their animals, reducing the environmental footprint of dairy production and contributing to our local economies."
The U.S. Dairy Farmers Care video includes more than 20 facts about the dairy industry, including information about animal care, the carbon footprint of dairying, the financial impact of dairies on their local economies and the industry's role in feeding the world. The video also serves as a library of facts that dairy farmers can reference in talking to consumers about the dairy industry.
"In a world where people want to connect with local farmers, we believe this video can help bridge the gap with consumers who want to know how their food is produced," Cozzitorto said. "We encourage dairy farmers and fellow dairy-industry supporters to share this video with their friends, family members, neighbors, social networks, business contacts and others."
U.S. Dairy Farmers Care Facts
Watch the video to learn about:
- Family farms: The percentage of U.S. dairy farms that are family owned
- Animal care: How dairy farmers care for their animals
- Economic value: The financial impact dairy cows and dairy farmers have on local communities
- Carbon footprint: How the dairy industry's carbon footprint has changed over time
- Dairy consumption: How much milk and dairy foods Americans consume each year
- Feeding the world: With a growing world population, how much more milk will be needed in the future

Hunter soaring this month after gloomy June
ANAHEIM -- Torii Hunter felt like he had this swing in him when he was struggling through June, heading into July with his average under .250. Keep hitting the ball hard, he told himself, and the results will come.
They've been here for most of July.
"The numbers didn't show, but I was killing the ball," Hunter said. "I wasn't changing for nothing. You saw the 0-for-4, but I had four bullets, and I said I have to keep that going. And now it's dropping the last month or so."
Nobody in the American League with at least 70 at-bats in July entering Friday had a higher OPS for the month than Hunter's 1.058 clip. His .357 batting average ranked fifth in that group, while his .671 slugging percentage trailed only Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen among Major League regulars.
Eleven of Hunter's first 25 hits in July went for extra bases, including five doubles, five homers and a triple. In most cases, those extra bases have come off line drives he has pulled toward the gap or into the left-field corner.
"He swung the bat pretty well when he came back and wasn't getting many hits," manager Brad Ausmus said, "but there was a point a couple homestands ago when he was really working on getting his weight [balance] back, loading his hands, getting his hands and weight back and driving the ball. He's certainly done that."
That's something he was working on while he was still out with hamstring issues a month ago. He kept it up once he returned.
Both Ausmus and Hunter suggest the move down the batting order has nothing to do with it. That said, he's batting .290 in the fifth spot, 26 points higher than he has hit this season batting second. His OPS, however, is higher in the second spot (.778) than fifth (.754).

SUGAR LAND, Texas - Two teenagers have been accused of breaking into a police chief's house.
Sugar Land police said Conner Hinton, 17, and Taylor Nuttal, 17, broke into Police Chief Doug Brinkley's home in the 2000 block of Holly Glade Lane about 11:45 a.m. on Feb. 8.
Detectives said the teens forced a back door open and broke part of the police chief's fence.
"When I got there, my door was kicked in and the glass was broken," Brinkley said. "I called police."
Nothing inside the house was taken, investigators said. Brinkley's security system alarm went off when the door was opened and officials suspect that scared the teens.
"I'm pretty confident it was a crime of opportunity. They had no idea I was the chief of police," Brinkley said.
Police said a neighbor spotted the teen's climbing over a fence near her home and gave them descriptions of the suspects. Another resident reported seeing a suspicious car parked in front of her home.
Shortly after the break-in at the chief's home, police spotted the car and arrested Hinton and Nuttal. Both teens have been charged with burglary of a habitation.
"For an active neighborhood such as ours, I would really like to say thank you," Brinkley said. "I wish everyone would step up in instances like this."
Police gave these tips to prevent home burglaries:
- Lock all doors and windows.
- Use a security alarm system even when you are home. Have motion or glass-break sensors installed.
- Place an alarm sign in the front yard.
- Place locks on side gates that provide access to backyards. "Beware of Dog" signs don't hurt either.
- Keep bushes trimmed below windows.
- Plant sticker bushes under rear windows (holly, roses, etc. are good options).
- If someone comes to the door, acknowledge their presence. When thieves think homes are empty, they break in. Do not open the door.
- Call the police immediately about suspicious activity. The non-emergency number for the Sugar Land Police Department is 281-275-2020. Public safety dispatchers answer this number 24/7.
- Use your curtains. Don't let thieves "window shop."

An editorial that appeared in the Washington Times online version is an effort of the Food Freedom Project that "promotes consumer choice and defends policies and innovations designed to make food more plentiful and at reduced cost."
The editorial suggests that the hubbub about labeling food products as possibly containing genetically modified ingredients or being GM fresh foods is ridiculous because those foods that aren't GMO "contaminated" will be labeled organic. Therefore, consumers already know which products are GMO free.
"Groups, such as the Non-GMO Project have already paved the way for labeling measures that inform consumers and to ensure these labeling standards are clear and enforced. Thanks to these groups, consumers can be certain that products labeled 'organic' are inherently free of GMOs. Owing to this effort, those who produce and sell organic food have seen their share of the market grow," wrote George Landrith, president of Frontiers of Freedom.
Organic labeled definitely should be GM free, but it should be added that some AgProfessional contacts, knowledgeable of the organic marketing chain, suggest that consumers should be wary of organic advertised fresh products because of lax enforcement of organic pesticide regulations—the potential use of pesticides that aren't truly organic approved.
But to proceed about GMO labeling, Landrith wrote, "The effort to mandate labeling of GMOs is not in the consumers' best interests, but instead is a way to drive the share of the market occupied by organic foods even higher."
He adds, "Using scare tactics and propaganda campaigns, anti-GMO activists are trying to convince Americans that GMOs are dangerous—that they are some kind of 'Frankenfood.' This ignores more than a century of evidence that shows that the genetics of plants can be manipulated safely to produce better yields, bigger fruits and heartier products."

Introducing my new favorite Japanese Super Robot...
Bandai's Super Robot Chogokin Alteisen is IN-STOCK now at BigBadToyStore.com priced at $49.99.
For a great selection of action figures and collectibles, check out BigBadToyStore.com, ToyDorks.com, BriansToys.com, ToyWiz.com, SmallJoes.com, PastGenerationToys.com, Urban-Collector.com, MonkeyDepot.com, HobbyLinkJapan.com, and Sekaido.com.
To insure your action figure collection, get in touch with our sponsor Collectibles Insurance.
With hyper-articulated action figures standing 6 inches tall composed of both tough plastics and die-cast metal, Super Robot Chogokin is Bandai's more affordable solution to their high-end Soul of Chogokin series. Where a Soul of Chogokin figure will set you back at least $150, a Super Robot Chogokin can be had for $50. Super Robot Chogokin's smaller size and price point makes it easier for fans to collect all their favorite 'bots, while individual weapon and accessory packs encourage more dynamic display.
Late last year, Bandai launched Super Robot Chogokin with two Japanese classics, Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger (read our review HERE). With an origin dating back to the early '70s, Mazinger was a perfect choice for introducing the new toy line celebrating anime and manga's powerful machines. For their third Super Robot Chogokin release Bandai fast forwards in time to represent more modern mecha, specifically the Alteisen from Super Robot Wars: Original Generation.
Where Mazinger has had decades to work its way into American pop culture - be it through the animated series Tranzor Z or old Shogun Warriors toy line and comic - Super Robot Wars (better known as Super Robot Taisen in Japan) is relatively new. Originating in 1991 as a video game series from Banpresto (and later an anime and manga), the franchise didn't hit U.S. soil commercially until 2006 with the release of Super Robot Wars: Original Generation. That said, my familiarity with the series - and the Alteisen unit in particular - is close to zero. What I do know, however, is that the Alteisen has quickly become my favorite Japanese Super Robot based solely on its awesome good looks.
Like the Super Robot Chogokin Mazingers before him, Alteisen comes packed in a closed window box that bursts with design energy. The window is actually incorporated with an explosive, radiating graphic, which, while hard to make out the product inside, is extremely eye-catching nevertheless. Dynamic product shots adorn the front, side and back panels, the latter highlighting the Alteisen's cool weapons and accessories in greater detail. All in all it's a box that screams "Buy Me!", looking great while delivering your collectible safe and sound.
The Alteisen's packaging shines even more with its collector friendly storage. Simply lift the top flap and pull out the interior plastic tray to find your fully assembled Alteisen and bonus accessories ready to go. No twisty ties, no hassle. Out of the box the Alteisen is set to rock your display. As mentioned, the mech measures a stout 6 inches tall and immediately astonishes with a nice solid heft. This figure really brings back fond memories of my old die-cast Shogun Warriors, when toys were built Tonka tough. The Alteisen's die-cast content isn't nearly as great as the Shogun Warriors, but its enough to let you know you have some real metal in your hands. What's remarkable is that it is really hard to define where the die-cast starts and the plastic begins - the combination is very fluid and seamless. Close inspection reveals that the Alteisen's legs are indeed metal, as are numerous joints, and the nail weapon. The end result is nothing short of spectacular.
Rugged construction aside, it's the Alteisen's appearance that truly drops my jaw. I'm not a huge fan of "spiky" mechs, but the Alteisen pulls off the look by merging it well with a cool chunky frame. Where most "spiky" 'bots are lean and fragile looking, the Alteisen comes across as more of a "heavy assault" mech; its pointy appendages lending it almost a rhino or stag beetle-like vibe. The Alteisen's robust robot role is further defined by its meaty armament. Two bloated missile pods (with opening doors) embellish each shoulder for long range attacks, while two arm-mounted weapons get the job done in close and mid-range combat. These include a tri-barreled gun on the right wrist and a nasty hydraulic nail melee weapon on the left.
The latter is especially cool in that it features a revolving ammo chamber that can be swung open. I imagine it holds explosive rounds for powering the pummeling device. Ouch, that's gotta hurt another mech in close quarters.
Making the Alteisen's armament even cooler is the additional add-on pieces Bandai throws in. Two translucent fiery parts are included, one for the nail weapon and one for the Alteisen's protruding forehead horn. Both "explosions" attach easily - the nail blast caps the tip of the weapon and the horn blaze slides right over top the sharp extension. Both look killer when in place and really add some pop to the figure on display. Two sets of interchangeable hands - open and closed fist - are also included for various battle poses. I like to mix things up so I have the right hand open while firing the tri-blaster and the other clenched shut in anticipation of a strike.
This brings us to articulation, something the Alteisen has plenty of. Articulation joints abound on this figure - all very fluid, nice and firm. I already pointed out a few with the swing-out nail chamber and opening missile bay doors, but those are just the tip of the iceberg. Pratically everything on this figure moves on ball or hinge/swivel joints. The head and waist can even extend up a fraction for even greater mobility.
All armor plates can be positioned as can the twin-layered shoulder-mounted thrusters. Combined with extreme stability due to the die-cast legs, fans will never run out of fun and solid display poses. Bandai even goes an extra step by including an attachment that clips on to the Alteisen's crouch. This piece features a peg hole and is for use with Bandai's flight stands - sold separately. I might have to pick one up...
My introduction to Bandai's incredible Super Robot Chogokin series couldn't have come from a better mech. The Alteisen simply oozes coolness - from its striking red, white and black color scheme to its insanely wicked robot design. If a battle was on between Alteisen and Mazinger, I'd have to place my bets on the former. The Alteisen maybe the new Super Robot on the block, but he's already on his way to becoming a classic.
Oh, and for the record, my former favorite Super Robot was Raideen, which just so happens to be the next figure in the Super Robot Chogokin series.
Bandai's Super Robot Chogokin Alteisen is IN-STOCK now at BigBadToyStore.com priced at $49.99.

STOURBRIDGE Lions will take on promotion chasing local rivals Kidderminster at Stourton Park this weekend.
The first game between the two sides looked like it was heading for a draw until a last minute Kidderminster try gave them a dramatic victory, something the Lions haven't forgotten and will be looking to avenge this week, especially as that result was the catalyst that sparked the Kidderminster Midlands 2 West (South) promotion push .
The Lions have had a solid first season in the higher league after last seasons promotion, currently sitting in eighth position with a healthy ten victories so far from their twenty games.
Their latest scalp came two weeks ago against Spartans, who came into the game with the goal of reaching the top two in the league. However this aim was quickly thwarted as the Lions powered to a five try 30-19 victory, with four of the tries coming from their dominant forwards.
This young Lions squad have also managed to reach their third final in as many years. A recent semi-final victory over Ledbury secured their place in the North Midlands Vase final, where they will face old foes Bridgnorth at Dudley Kingswinford's Heathbrook ground on May 11.

I suspect you and Bobby Mac define "support the team" differently. You can support the team by getting to know the players and writing interesting articles. Buckner seems to be doing that. So far she's been a breath of fresh air. Helping the community get to know the players does "support the team". She has access that we don't. It didn't seem like Wells had that kind of access.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I've read the Star beat writers since the 70's. Wells isn't near the top of my list. He was honest (and repetitive) in his opinions. But he was far from objective.

NEW BAVARIA, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities in northwest Ohio say the bodies of a Florida man and his 10-year-old daughter were found in a parked vehicle, and their deaths are being investigated as a murder-suicide amid a custody dispute.
The Henry County sheriff's office found the bodies Monday while responding to a call about a suspicious vehicle on a rural road about 50 miles southwest of Toledo. Sheriff Michael Bodenbender says both people had gunshot wounds, and a 9-mm handgun was found at the scene.
They were identified as 47-year-old Timothy Brown and Alexandra Brown of Parrish, Fla., in the Tampa Bay area.
The sheriff says Timothy Brown attended high school in Henry County and his father still lives in the area.
Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday.

What is Cephalosporins?
Who is it for?
What are the benefits?
Cephalosporins are prescription antibiotics. They belong to a class of broad-spectrum antibiotics called beta-lactam antibiotics. Cephalosporins are used to treat certain bacterial urinary tract infections and skin infections, including abscesses and other wounds. They may also be used to treat infections of the bones or respiratory tract. Cephalosporins are often used to treat an infection while waiting for culture results. Cephalosporins are considered very safe, with few side effects.
How does Cephalosporins work?
Is there a generic equivalent available?
How is it given?
Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian. If you have difficulty giving the medication, contact your veterinarian. Use all of the medication prescribed, even if your pet appears well. If the entire course of treatment is not given, the infection may recur or worsen.

"Cattle are dependent on their immune system as a primary defense against invading organisms, viral or bacterial. The immune system generally functions quite well but is subject to compromise during stressful situations." David McClary, DVM, MS and Elanco technical consultant, describes how the immune system works and the factors that can sometimes compromise an animal's ability to fight infection.
Q: When are cattle most susceptible to respiratory disease?
A: For cattle, periods of stress are when their physiological state changes, such as weaning or severe changes in weather. Generally, the greatest stress to a beef animal is at the time of movement from farm of origin to some type of feeding facility, such as a stocker operation, backgrounding facility or a feedlot. For dairy calves, in most cases, the time of greatest stress is as we transition them from individual housing to group housing. A stressed animal releases a number of agents, particularly corticosteroids, that reduce the ability of the immune system to fight infection.
Q: How does an animal naturally react to fight infection?
A: When a bacterial infection occurs in the lungs, alveolar macrophages are some of the first responders. They eliminate bacteria by a process called phagocytosis. Another primary defense cell that responds to infection is the neutrophil. Neutrophils are like the cavalry in that once they recognize the presence of infection, they migrate in large numbers to the site of infection, in this case the lungs. Like macrophages, neutrophils also kill bacteria by engulfing and digesting them.
Q: How does Micotil® (tilmicosin injection) work with the immune system?
A:Micotil is a macrolide antibiotic approved for the treatment and control of BRD which has characteristics that allow it to concentrate in the immune cells, specifically alveolar macrophages and neutrophils. We know these cells are migrating to fight infection in the lungs. As they are delivered to the site of infection, they bring high concentrations of tilmicosin (Micotil) directly to that site as well.*
Q: How quickly does Micotil respond and what is its duration when treating respiratory disease?
A: Micotil is fast-acting*1 and long-lasting.*2,3,4 Data shows that Micotil concentrates in diseased lungs within one hour1 following a subcutaneous injection of 1.5 mL/100 lbs body weight. Even in consolidated or severely diseased lungs, Micotil concentrates within two hours.*1 Micotil does not depend on circulation for delivery to the lungs; it concentrates in the first cells that migrate to the infection site, enabling its fast-acting response.
Important Safety Information
See label for complete use information, including boxed human warnings and non-target species safety information. Micotil is to be used by, or on the order of, a licensed veterinarian. For cattle or sheep, inject subcutaneously. Intravenous use in cattle or sheep will be fatal. Do not use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older. Use in lactating dairy cattle or sheep may cause milk residues. The following adverse reactions have been reported: in cattle: injection site swelling and inflammation, lameness, collapse, anaphylaxis/anaphylactoid reactions, decreased food and water consumption, and death; in sheep: dyspnea and death. Always use proper drug handling procedures to avoid accidental self-injection. Do not use in automatically powered syringes. Consult your veterinarian on the safe handling and use of all injectable products prior to administration. Micotil has a pre-slaughter withdrawal time of 42 days.

Welcome to
The 4 Freedoms Library

Most Western societies are based on Secular Democracy, which itself is based on the concept that the open marketplace of ideas leads to the optimum government. Whilst that model has been very successful, it has defects. The 4 Freedoms address 4 of the principal vulnerabilities, and gives corrections to them.
At the moment, one of the main actors exploiting these defects, is Islam, so this site pays particular attention to that threat.
Islam, operating at the micro and macro levels, is unstoppable by individuals, hence: "It takes a nation to protect the nation". There is not enough time to fight all its attacks, nor to read them nor even to record them. So the members of 4F try to curate a representative subset of these events.
We need to capture this information before it is removed. The site already contains sufficient information to cover most issues, but our members add further updates when possible.
We hope that free nations will wake up to stop the threat, and force the separation of (Islamic) Church and State. This will also allow moderate Muslims to escape from their totalitarian political system.
These 4 freedoms are designed to close 4 vulnerabilities in Secular Democracy, by making them SP or Self-Protecting (see Hobbes's first law of nature). But Democracy also requires - in addition to the standard divisions of Executive, Legislature & Judiciary - a fourth body, Protector of the Open Society (POS), to monitor all its vulnerabilities (see also Popper).
1. SP Freedom of SpeechAny speech is allowed - except that advocating the end of these freedoms
2. SP Freedom of ElectionAny party is allowed - except one advocating the end of these freedoms3. SP Freedom of Movement
The government can import new voters - except where that changes the political demographics (i.e. electoral fraud by means of immigration)4. SP Freedom from Over-spending
People should not be charged for government systems which they reject, and which give them no benefit. For example, the government cannot pass a debt burden across generations (25 years).
An additional Freedom from Religion is be deducible by equal application of law: "Religious and cultural activities are exempt from legal oversight - except where they intrude into the public sphere (Res Publica)"

The early statements out of the G7 last week contained lots of talk about currency manipulation. The yen initially took off when it was believed that the big industrial nations would not tolerate policies leading to any sort of competitive devaluation scenario. But the rally proved to be short-lived after a "clarification" seemingly aimed at giving Japan a pass on its weak yen policy. The way it sounded, the Abe administration has basically been accorded a green light to pursue further yen weakness.
Curiously, the pronouncement appears to conflict with statements made back on Feb. 8 by Japan Finance Minister Taro Aso, who said that the yen had weakened more than intended. The comment may have been a signal at the time to halt to any further yen sales by the country's large life insurers. The connection between Japan's Finance Ministry and the investment policies of Japan's large financial institutions are well known.
Short-term speculative selling by funds can only drive the yen down so far. You need to have the life insurers in there to sustain any move as they have tremendously deep pockets by virtue of the fact that they hold trillions in yen deposits. But even that can only weaken the yen to a point. To permanently weaken the yen you need yen "printing" and only the government can do that with sustained deficit spending.
Most people assume that it's the central bank, via monetary operations, that does the yen printing. If this were true, then the yen would have been falling for the past 15 years because the Bank of Japan has been conducting numerous episodes of quantitative easing over that time.
Quantitative easing or any monetary operation conducted by a central bank, whether that is the Bank of Japan, the Fed, the ECB the Bank of England, merely changes the composition of the financial assets held by the public. It doesn't add any net new monetary assets. On the other hand, deficit spending by the sovereign government, like the government of Japan, does.
The problem is that Japan's deficit is expected to shrink this year. That may come as a surprise given the record budget that has been proposed, but higher taxes and a stronger economy could bring the deficit well below the ¥23 trillion forecast. In fiscal year 2012 Japan had a ¥24 trillion deficit.
Of course there is always the matter of Japan's growing current account deficit. This has largely come about as a result of higher oil imports due to the shutdown of the nation's nuclear reactors. Initially there was some hope that Shinzo Abe's election would hasten the restart of the country's nukes, but those hopes appear dashed thanks to some very stringent new safety measures that will need to be implemented prior to any restart. According to some, it could mean Japan's reactors won't be back in operation for several years. In other words, Japan's oil imports and its current account deficits will persist.
Clearly some forces do appear to be aligned against the yen, but a continuation of its one-way decline is doubtful. Just as an aside, the recent reports of big gains by U.S. hedge funds who were short the yen make it even less likely that those big gains will continue. Remember what happened to the big gains by hedgies in Apple (AAPL) shares? I rest my case.
Bottom line, look for yen trade to become more two-sided in the months to come. For trend followers that may mean a long period of giving back a good part of those winnings. But for traders who like to buy low, sell high and repeat, the situation is starting to look a lot more promising.

Cowboy Poets
American cowboys have been writing poetry for more than a century. This little-known literary tradition both belies the macho image of the Western Heroes and serves as an imaginative form of oral history.Cowboy Poets travels to the big sky country of Nevada, Montana, and Arizona to explore the tradition and to introduce three working cowboys and the poetry they write about the lifestyle and land they love. Cowboy Poets profiles three cowboy reciters, Waddie Mitchell, Slim Kite and Wally McRae, representing three different aspects of the cowboy-poetry tradition. Waddie Mitchell is a young working cowboy who runs a small ranch in northern Nevada; his flashy buckaroo clothes show the world that he is proud to be a cowboy. Slim Kite is a retired cowboy of the old school. He believes that there is no more cow-punching, not the way he learned it. His poems, all learned from other reciters over the past sixty years, connect him with generations of cowboys and the way of life he loved. Wally McRae is a third-generation rancher in northern Montana, a gentleman-philosopher, who uses his considerable poetic gifts to make personal statements about continuity within the ranching community and the strength of cowboy traditions under siege in the modern world.
A fitting tribute to the oral tradition with which these men keep their family histories alive...A masterful job of blending the poetry and the lives of these men.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Networking opportunities are great for any professional, but for small-business owners, the right connections can bring pathways to new suppliers, eager customers and corporate partnerships that can take a business to the next level. If you've got only a couple of hours at a cocktail party to meet and greet, your first impulse may be to work the room quickly, giving as many elevator pitches as you can to well-heeled attendees. But coming off too aggressive or overly salesman-like can be a big turnoff. We checked in with networking experts who say that making a good impression with five or 10 people is far more important than throwing your business card at 30. Check out their top five tips for networking excellence. How do you network effectively without sounding like a jerk? Even though it may be cliche, Aurora Reinke, assistant professor at Kendall College's School of Business, says there's truth to the adage, "It's not about you." "There is an ego element to being an entrepreneur," Reinke says. "You have to be a little in love with yourself to even take the risk in the first place." Ultimately, what any entrepreneur wants to do is share the magic they bring to the table, she says, but part of that magic is being understanding of others and capable of listening and engaging in dialogue. "Nobody likes a narcissist," she laughs. With that said, there is a fine line between being full of oneself and not being vocal enough, says Mike Shook, managing partner of entrepreneurial executive firm Accelerence. "You don't want to be overly promotional, but you must be enthusiastic while remembering the importance of humility," Shook says. "If you are not excited about what you are doing, how can anyone else be?" "People you've interacted with should be left with the impression that you are very excited about what you are doing. They should know that your solution to a real problem is obvious and that you have the credentials and aptitude to transform an interesting idea into a good business," Shook says. Networking with people you've just met is a subtle art, Jennefer Witter, owner and founder of PR firm The Boreland Group. "Blatantly selling oneself can backfire," she says. "The most important thing to do is to listen to the person and gauge what he or she is doing or where specifically he or she wants or needs assistance. Yes, it is a good idea to trade business cards, but wait until the end of the conversation. And make sure you ask for that person's business card first, to demonstrate your interest in them."

Stunning style starts with knowing your shape — and playing it up! Just look at the difference between Jessica Alba in an Alexander McQueen sack dress and a curve-hugging Dolce & Gabbana dress. The brand new August issue of StyleWatch (on sale now!) dishes expert advice on shopping and dressing for your body, using your favorite celebs to show what works — and what definitely doesn't. Here's a few more tips and tricks from fashion pros to help you find your perfect look:
"The right seams can find the small parts of your body and accent them, whether it be a seam under the bust or in the hip. Seams can create curve and shape for your body."
-Sam Saboura, author of Real Style: Style Secrets for Real Women with Real Bodies
"Be honest with yourself. Find something that works for you and don't be afraid to buy ten of it in every color. Dressing well is less about following trends than finding what looks good on you."
-Danica Lo, author of How Not to Look Fat
"For each of us there is a place just above or below the knee where our legs look their longest and leanest. Know your length and don't be seduced by seasonal lengths that aren't flattering for your silhouette."
-Kendall Farr, author of The Pocket Stylist: Behind the Scenes Expertise from a Fashion Pro on Creating Your Own Look
"I tell women that a piece hanging on a hanger can look very different on your body. And every designer fits differently so you always have to try it on before you buy. If you buy a piece of clothing and it slightly doesn't fit in some areas, don't hesitate to take it to a tailor."

"You armed me with strength for battle; you made my adversaries bow at my feet."
— Psalms 18, Verse 39, tattooed on Colin Kaepernick's throwing arm
NEW ORLEANS — On his way home after the first day of the 2011 NFL draft, Jim Harbaugh rang his father, Jack, to ask him what he thought about the first round.
Knowing his son's San Francisco 49ers hadn't taken a quarterback with their first pick, the old coach asked his son which quarterback he was likely to pick.
"It was dead silent," Jack recalled. Jim asked his father if he was talking to anyone — "anyone" likely codespeak for Jim's older brother John, head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.
"I said, 'I swear I'm not talking to anyone,' " Jack said. "He said, 'We're drafting Colin Kaepernick. Not only do I think he's the best quarterback in the draft, I think he's the best football player in the draft.' "
The son obviously had trust in his father. The next day, the 49ers plucked Kaepernick with the 36th pick.
"I thought to myself, 'Wise decision,' " Jack said.
Wise indeed, though Jim Harbaugh's secret weapon isn't a secret anymore.
In less than three months, Kaepernick has rocketed to dizzying heights of fame, boosted even higher by the fact he has led the 49ers to Super Bowl XLVII and the brink of a sixth title.
Not only is Kaepernick the new face of the 49ers' franchise — the franchise of Joe Montana, Steve Young and LSU's Y.A. Tittle — but he is a media phenomenon for a new age. A multicultural, multi-tattooed, multi-talented mold-breaker for one of the most storied franchises in professional sports.
"Yeah," 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree said, "it's the Kaep Show."
And all this after just nine total starts, regular season and postseason combined. No Super Bowl starting quarterback has ever had fewer first snaps under his belt.
Perhaps with the possible exception of Young, no Super Bowl has seen his like before.
"Kaepernick is just coming in balling," Crabtree said. "Making plays with his feet, his arm, and I'm just trying to catch everything he throws."
That isn't easy, receiver Randy Moss said. He said one of Kaepernick's fastballs — the Chicago Cubs tried to sign him at Nevada four years ago, having never seen him throw anything but footballs — resulted in the first dislocated finger of his long career.
At Nevada, Kaepernick was the perfect test subject for coach Chris Ault's new Pistol offensive formation. With that surface-to-surface missile-launching arm and long, loping stride, Kaepernick used the offense to become the first player in NCAA history to throw for 10,000 career yards and rush for 4,000.
And yet there have been times in Kaepernick's young career when people have been hesitant to believe he really is that good.
After Kaepernick arrived on campus for his first season, Ault was so underwhelmed with his quarterbacking skills that he considered moving him to safety. Fast-forward five years, and Kaepernick was rooming with 2010 Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton at the NFL combine, whatever potential star power he possessed eclipsed by Newton's megawatt persona.
"At that point, I was doing anything I could to have an NFL team look at me," Kaepernick said at Tuesday's Media Day.
Now, teams can't take their eyes off him.
There is another tattoo on Kaepernick's right arm, the one he pretends to kiss in celebration — a move that has become known as "Kaepernicking." It reads: "Faith."
Faith in Kaepernick's abilities wasn't immediate in San Francisco. He wasn't the instant starter that the Ravens' Joe Flacco was when he arrived in Baltimore in 2008.
Kaepernick served as understudy to established starter Alex Smith. Then came the run.
"There was a day in practice where we couldn't gain a yard against our defense," offensive coordinator Greg Roman explained. "So we called (a run), and he ran 80 yards for a touchdown."
On Nov. 19 against the Chicago Bears, Kaepernick got the start for the 49ers, who were coming off a frustrating 24-24 tie with the St. Louis Rams. He responded by completing 16 of 23 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns, recording a sparkling quarterback rating of 133.1.
The playoffs featured Kaepernick at his running and throwing best. In a 45-31 win over the Green Bay Packers, he rushed for 181 yards and two scores, a playoff record for a quarterback, and threw for 263 yards and two more TDs. With the Atlanta Falcons primed to contain him, Kaepernick went 16 of 21 for 233 yards and a TD, leading the 49ers back from a 17-0 second-quarter deficit in a 28-24 victory.
Though chastised for bringing prison culture to the locker room with his numerous tattoos — perhaps the one that reads "My gift is my curse" is appropriate for such moments — the skin-deep view of Kaepernick doesn't deliver the complete picture.
He said he prays before every game. He took part of his first 49ers paycheck and made a quiet donation to Camp Taylor, a Northern California organization that serves children with heart disease. Two of his adoptive parents' biological sons died as newborns because of heart problems.
Kaepernick and his agents reportedly are in the process of trademarking the term "Kaepernicking," among other related phrases. There are "Kaepernicking" T-shirts. Some of the proceeds will go to Camp Taylor, too.
The flip side to Kaepernick's rise is the kind of adulation perhaps not seen since another upstart Super Bowl sensation: Joe Namath. His brother Kyle tells the story of fans coming up to him at a San Francisco Giants game to ask for a picture, then running off screaming.
It's the kind of reaction you might expect for Super Bowl halftime performer Beyoncé or a Beatle, but not a fledgling pro quarterback.
"Three months ago, I could go anywhere," Kaepernick said. "Now it's a little bit harder."
It won't get any easier if he's hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy on Sunday night.

Dear all, I have basic knowedge of OpenGl and I have made some simple animations in C++/OpenGL. But I hava also 3 years expirience with Delphi and it is my favorite IDE for development. Delphi 6, which I am using, has the OpenGL library (i noticed it includes also wgl). I add OpenGL to my uses clause and I write some OpenGL code. It has compiled but nothing has been drawed to scene. I try put the code in Paint event of a form and on timer event... I have found some exaples, but they all uses GLScene Can you tell me how to render OpenGL scene in Delphi without GLScene Or at least some tutorials of using GLScene (I have only the oficial documentation; althrough there is description of all functions, there is no information of which component and method I should use and reading all dosumentation will waste a lot of time) Thank you
Maybe the following site may help:
According to my humble knowledge, it uses pure OpenGL (i.e. immediate mode) and no external library (like GLScene).
Let us know if that helps. If there is any delphi programmers in this forum, they might be able to help you out.
This site is very helpfull 10x I found all I need

- How to Read a Study Record
- Multiple myeloma (MM) is a type of malignant blood cancer. It affects the plasma cells, which help produce antibodies and fight infection. MM is nearly always preceded by a pre-malignant state, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) or smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). Currently, it is not possible to predict when someone with MGUS or SMM will develop MM. Also, the disease changes in those early states are not well understood. Researchers want to look at imaging studies of people with MGUS, SMM, and MM. They will study whether the growth of blood vessels can be used to predict disease progression.
- To use imaging studies to evaluate disease progression in multiple myeloma.
- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have MGUS, SMM, or newly diagnosed MM.
- Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. They will also have blood and urine tests, and provide bone marrow samples.
- Participants will have positron emission tomography (PET) scans with the new contrast agent [18]F-Fluciclatide. The contrast agent is intended to show patterns of increased vessel growth in the bone marrow.
- Participants will also have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. This scan will be done according to standard procedures.
- Researchers will compare these scans with blood tests and other clinical information to study disease progression of MGUS, SMM, and MM....

PEOPLE in Worcestershire are being encouraged to do their bit for the environment by composting their waste.
As part of International Compost Awareness Week, Worcestershire County Council has teamed up with Hereford Council and getcomposting.com to offer compost bins at a fraction of the normal price.
Bins are already available from the council at a cut price, but they are now being offered at buy one get one half price, meaning residents can buy two for £39, including delivery – a saving of more than 80 per cent.
The council's cabinet member for the environment Cllr Anthony Blagg said: "I have used a couple of the subsidised compost bins myself for several years.
"They are really very easy to use and are effective at reducing your garden waste and help divert a lot of vegetable kitchen waste from landfill."
Senior waste prevention officer with Worcestershire County Council Stephen Ackers said more than 30 per cent of the average household bin can be composted.
"This is a great incentive to encourage more residents to get composting and set up their own composting communities sharing the rewards," he said.
"Home composting organic waste also helps to significantly reduce carbon emissions and can also be used as an effective and sustainable waste management method to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill."
For more information call 0844 571 4444 or visit www.hw.getcomposting.com.

What an odd headline to read and write in the year 2013—especially when the Supreme Court ruled racial segregation to be unconstitutional in 1954, but it apparently still happens.
The population of Rochelle, Georgia is a little more than 1,100 and is about half white and half African American according to the 2010 Census. So why do the folks of Wilcox County still not allow an integrated prom? AddictingInfo.com reports that Wilcox County High School was integrated in 1983, but instead of allowing integrated proms, they just didn't allow any proms at all. Parents would instead throw private segregated dances.
Well, a group of four friends is fed up with that and has decided to throw their own prom—one that anyone can attend regardless of race. They've even set up a Facebook page to garner support and raise money.
"We live in rural south Georgia, where not too many things change. Well, as a group of adamant high school seniors, we want to make a difference in our community," the Facebook page, which has more than 2,200 likes, says. "For the first time in the history of our county, we plan to have an integrated prom."
Stephanie Sinnot, Mareshia Rucker, Quanesha Wallace, and Keela Bloodworth have been friends since fourth grade. Stephanie and Keela are white and Mareshia and Quanesha are black. They are all seniors at Wilcox County High School.
"We are all friends," Stephanie told WGXA-TV. "That's just kind of not right that we can't go to prom together."
"If we don't change it nobody else will," Keela said.
But the girls are running into resistance.
"I put up posters for the Integrated Prom and we've had people ripping them down at the school," Keela told WGXA-TV.
Whatever the naysayers think, the Integrated Prom is set for April 27.


text: Choosing the right footwear for your outdoor activities By John McCoy October 20, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Walking in the woods is pretty popular this time of year.Much less popular are the wet, cold or blistered feet that walking through the woods sometimes brings.One secret to keeping feet warm, dry and comfortable is having boots that fit properly and are well suited to the terrain and the amount of walking to be done."Boot technology has come a long way," said Brandon Privett, manager of Charleston's Gander Mountain store. "It's now possible to get boots that are pretty much custom-suited to different types of hiking and hunting."Trail runners, for example, need light, supportive shoes that flex to fit a runner's gait. Deer hunters, who often hunt from tree stands and in cold weather, require heavier, well-insulated boots. Hikers and backpackers need boots that provide ankle support and traction in the lightest possible package.Tyler Whitmore, Gander Mountain's footwear supervisor, said different varieties of hunting boots can be custom chosen for specific tasks."Someone who hunts in a swamp would want waterproof boots lined with Gore-Tex or some similar breathable membrane," he said. "Hunters who go way up into the mountains will want boots with more grams of insulation so their feet don't get cold. Hunters who sit in tree stands don't need boots with as much ankle and arch support as do coon hunters, who often walk long distances over rough terrain."Shopping for boots can be tricky. Whitmore said, for example, that people should do their shoe and boot shopping in the evening rather than the morning."Your feet swell as you walk around during the day," he explained. "If you're planning to try on boots or shoes, you should do it later in the day after you've been on your feet for a while. If you don't, chances are you'll be buying footwear that's slightly undersized." Whitmore and Privett said perfectly fitting shoes should "snugly cradle the heel, comfortably wrap the mid-foot and leave enough room for your toes to wiggle."When trying on boots, it's always a good idea to wear the same sort of socks - and the same number of pairs - as you would in the field."For keeping feet comfortable, socks are every bit as important as boots," Privett said. "There are all kinds of technologies available in socks today. Almost all the brands nowadays are moisture-wicking, meaning that they pull sweat away from your feet and distribute the moisture throughout the shoe."That, in turn, helps prevent blisters, which occur when the sweat stays on the foot and creates friction with the sock fabric."Hunters or hikers who plan to venture out in temperatures lower than 50 degrees Fahrenheit should look for boots that are waterproof."In cold weather, you can't keep your feet warm unless they're dry, and there's almost always going to be some runoff onto trails or puddles to walk through," Privett said. "So boots with a waterproof and breathable lining definitely are needed." People sometimes buy new boots when, with a couple of simple tweaks, they could give their old boots new life."Boots almost always stretch as they're worn, and if they stretch enough, they lose some of their comfort and support," Privett said. "A lot of times, something like a new insole or heel cup, or even a different lacing method, can help your old boots to fit as well as when you bought them."One mistake boot buyers often make is to buy the most expensive boots they can afford and hope the higher quality results in comfort. Privett said it's a mistake to think that way."More expensive is not always better. It's much more important to find the boot that best suits your needs and fits your foot properly," he said.

Bibby was worse for the Knicks last year than Augustin has been for us this year. He was barely hanging on with the Heat the year before but he is the definition of washed-up now.
I'm down with that. I've been hoping they would go after a player like Redd or TMac if he becomes available after the Chinese basketball season is over.
Id love to have Kmart as well.
If games are won and lost on a calculator and piece of paper, then why do we bother to play them?
Bibby was pretty good the second half of the season after Mike Woodson was named interim coach. He still hit around 40% IIRC from the 3-point line. He might be washed up but he's washed in the same way that Mike Miller was washed up... In an effective-could-still-knock-down-big-shots sort of way.
I was looking at his game logs here/ and I will give you he had a few decent games toward the end of the year and in the playoffs. But he was terrible the rest of the year and he's worse than a sieve defensively. I can agree with you that we need to grab a veteran, but I don't think Bibby is that guy.
No thanks to Bibby. I like trade idea for Jimmer or Ridnour way better. Rather bring back Sundiata Gaines than Bibby.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
I like that. As bad as our bench has been DC sounds like a great option now.
I doubt that the Pacers would sign Redd when we have 2 long-term contracts sitting on the bench that were brought in to to do the same exact thing that Redd would do. I know that it sucks that Green is inconsistent....but this was something we knew when we signed him...like it or not... we r stuck with both of them.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
DC unfortunately is not an option for us this season. NBA rules dictate you can't re-aquire a player you traded away in the same season.
just snipped the quotes"D.J.'s been in a slump this year," Vogel said. "Our bench as a unit has been struggling and D.J. is not in any way solely responsible, but I don't want to change the whole bench and throw everybody upside-down. So we'll change one part and see if it has an impact."
Hill said Augustin's limited playing time and unfamiliarity with a new offensive system have affected his performance, a point Vogel also made.
"I don't think anybody in the NBA is effective when they're playing that many minutes," Hill said. "Just knowing where his shots are going to come from. That's something he doesn't know yet with this system and that group. Sometimes he has to force a shot because he may not have one."
Augustin didn't disagree.
"I think it's hard for anybody to play 10 minutes a game, and have five minutes here and there, but if that's what the coach is giving you, you have to take it and do your best, and that's what I'm trying to do," he said.
"Defensive intensity," Vogel said when asked what he wants from Hansbrough. "And I want to see if he can get the second unit to flow better on the offensive end. And to defend better, too. Last year's bench struggled to score, but at least they got stops. This year's bench is struggling to defend, so hopefully Ben will help us out."
"He's a maniac," Hill said. "I never thought I'd see another Tyler Hansbrough, but you see a guard version of Tyler. The passion that Tyler plays with, that's doubled because (Ben's) a smaller size. He's a point guard."
"I've seen things from Ben Hansbrough and Jeff Pendergraph (in practice) that make me think they'll do well when they get the opportunity," Vogel said. "Right now it's Ben's chance to see what he's got. Pendy will get his chance, too, and he'll do well when he gets his chance."
The logic is sound here. No idea what happened with Augustin. I hope Hansbrougb can play some defense. cautiously optimistic.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
Wheres the Tyler from the Bulls series two years ago? Is it really confidence? He used to be one of my favorite players, but man has he regressed
Sittin on top of the world!
You mean the guy who was good for 3 quarters and basically terrible for 17? This is who he is. And always has been. Incredibly inconsistent and far more often than not, a net negative. That said, he'll surely get on a good run soon a la the first 3 quarters of game 1 of that Bulls series. I mean, my God, he's certainly due.

TJ ford would be great as a backup at this point.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
I've also tried to avoid all the "told ya so's" that seem to be so prevalent around here. It's just not at all something I wanted to feel right about. I was really hoping to be wrong. Unfortunately, that ship seems to have sailed.

based on what Vogel said seems like Tyler'll be benched soon enough for Pendergraph. I wish it were for Plumlee, but that's just because I want to see our 24 year old 1st round pick play more than anything.
I want to see a healthy Pendy get a chance. I think he can play liked him in college just hasn't been healthy in the NBA. He is a solid rebounder screen setter and defender. I would much rather give Pendy a shot (which I supported out of camp I was the only one at the pd party ). He very well could fail but in college he showed NBA skills and body of work. Plumlee did not I never even looked at him as draft able literally one of the worst players I have scouted. I didnt like Hans at all in the draft I had Pendy rated much higher than him. I just hope he gets a fair shake to prove me wrong or right. I would say play him 20mpg and you will see a very effective player once he gets his footing. Like I said I could be wrong but I really liked his skill set for the NBA coming out now that he is healthy for the first time lets see if it's there

I don't care if it is Plumlee or Pendergraph, just shake things up to see if we have a gem on the bench or not. At least know where we are at in terms of talent.
Kinda wish we still had AJ Price
I'm a Beast
To be honest I wonder if Hansbrough can be our version of Jeremy Lin
not as good of a passer, but a better shooter. they're both smart players and were both undrafted. who knows?

Taylor Heinicke passed his way through the record books on his way to becoming an All-American.Heinicke, the record-setting quarterback from Old Dominion, and fellow Payton Award finalists Eric Breitenstein from Wofford and Miguel Maysonet from Stony Brook were selected to The Associated Press FCS All-America team released Wednesday.Heinicke had the most prolific passing season in the history of what used to be called Division I-AA. The sophomore from Atlanta passed for 5,076 yards, breaking the record set by the late Steve McNair when he was at Alcorn State in 1994. Heinicke finished with 5,546 yards of total offense, second only to McNair's 5,799."What Taylor did this year from an individual standpoint is nothing short of incredible," ODU coach Bobby Wilder said Wednesday."We build our system around our quarterback and what we feel like are his strengths. To run an offense that suits their needs. As (Heinicke) has gotten comfortable in our system, we've become more of a throwing team because of his comfort level."The Walter Payton Award goes to the top player in FCS and will be handed out Monday night in Philadelphia.Heinicke became the starter for ODU's fledgling football program, which just completed its fourth season and will transition to FBS next year, four games into the 2011 season. The Monarchs relied more on the run last year."This (past) offseason I really put an emphasis on knowing the whole playbook," Heinicke said. "This year we really bought into the Air Raid-type of offense."The Monarchs' fast-paced spread puts a premium on fast decisions and quick, accurate passes. Heinicke also set FCS records for completions (398) and total plays (705). And he ran for 470 yards and 11 touchdowns."He understands our philosophy is to find a way to move the chains," Wilder said. "If you need to run the ball, you run it to get a critical first down and those first downs lead to touchdowns. Protect the ball and find a way to move the chains."Heinicke did just that in September against New Hampshire when he passed for a Division I record 730 yards in a 64-61 victory. He threw 79 passes in that game without an interception.Old Dominion finished 11-2, losing last week to Georgia Southern, 49-35, in the quarterfinals of the playoffs.Breitenstein made his second straight appearance as a first-team All-American. The 230-pound senior fullback ran for 2,035 yards and 19 touchdowns this season.Maysonet ran for 1,964 and 21 touchdowns for the Seawolves.Murray State quarterback Casey Brockman was picked to the second-team. Colgate quarterback Gavin McCarney made the third team.Eastern Illinois' Erik Lora and Elon's Aaron Mellette, ranked 1-2 in the nation in catches and yards receiving, were the receivers and Harvard's Kyle Juszczyk was the tight end.A couple of guys who will be playing in this weekend's FCS semifinals highlight the offensive line.Billy Turner and North Dakota State host Georgia Southern on Friday night and Will Post and Eastern Washington host Sam Houston State on Saturday.The other linemen were Earl Watford from James Madison, Mike Sellers from The Citadel and Roger Gaines from Tennessee State.The defense is led by Georgia Southern's 300-pound defensive tackle Brent Russell and Georgetown linebacker Robert McCabe, who leads the nation with 14.45 tackles per game.Brandon Thurmond of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, the nation's leader with 17 1/2 sacks, joined Russell on the line along with Colton Underwood of Illinois State.Montana State placed two players on the defense. End Caleb Schreibeis leads FCS with eight forced fumbles and linebacker Cody Owens was the Big Sky defensive player of the year.New Hampshire linebacker Matt Evans, who was a second-team All-American last year, made the first team this year.Defensive back Marcus Williams of North Dakota State joined Breitenstein as a two-time All-American and became the only defensive player to repeat this season.North Dakota State and Montana State were the only teams to place two players on the first team.The other defensive backs were Darnell Taylor of Sam Houston State, Jaquiski Tartt of Samford and Cooper Taylor of Richmond.Walter Powell of Murray State was the all-purpose player. He had 1,213 yards receiving and more than 900 yards returning kicks and punts.Patrick Murray of Fordham was the kicker and Sam Martin of Appalachian State was the punter.---Follow Ralph D.
