but seriously... this works
This too....
No-Huddle. The TD drives at the end of the 1st half against Seattle and Chicago were both No-Huddle drives. The perpetual 2 minute offense. Sure, it doesn't eat up alot of clock, but it produces points. The Ravens will have to burn timeouts so Ngata won't have a heart attack.
Bring in Gruden or Cowher.
Actually I don't think Tony is a great roll out passer. He is great get getting out of trouble then improvise when plays break down. You can't really draw up a play that way.
I've said to my friends for awhile now that Tony would make a great west coast quarterback and on the whole this offense would flourish under such a system.
Frist of all, give the playcalling to Callahan. I don't care anymore about Garretts ability to make calls. He just doesn't have it.
Secondly, model our offense to one that is a pass oriented west coast type of offense. Focus on short throws to Dez and Miles and dump offs to Murray. Murray should be the focal point of the passing game.
Third, move Romo out of the pocket. Use more play action, bootlegs, and more pass oriented plays which allows for Romo to improvise out of the pocket. Green Bay's offense blows a horn when 2.8 secs expires on a pass play. Use that same method of teaching our receivers to get open when the horn blows. When we run we should use the draw quite a bit. I think thats the most effective run play that we have.
4th, take the top 10 best plays we have and create variations. Work on those top 10 plays over and over again until its embedded into everyone's memory. Then throw a little wrinkle here in there on those top 10 plays.
5th, speed up the pace a little. All the top offenses seem to work the best when they are in fast motion. Our offense should be focused on how many offense plays we have rather than how much time we chew up on the clock.
6th, create plays which are suited for our offense. Why are we asking the offense to do things that it can't do?
7th, and last of all, I'd like to see more go for the jugular early. Why do we wait till the 2nd half or the last quarter till our offense starts getting on a roll? Throw deep early and often. Open up the offense. Our mission on offense is to score and to score a lot. Not ball control.
Well he was the most dangerous QB out of the pocket just a few years ago I believe. The problem is that our plays have him stay in the pocket and when it breaks down, he is still in the vicinity of the defense. Having roll out on play action or a bootleg allows him away from the defense and away from the pocket. It also gives him more time and to see everything.
This is what Garrett destroyed about Romo. He kinda of made Romo a pocket passer and ignored what he was good at. Romo's favorite plays should be play action and roll out away from the pocket which was our most dangerous play until Garrett became OC.
This.....if we are going to do that, then only let 3 men go out...the rest block up!
If the 3 are covered have Murray Block block block...then slip out.
I see the Giants do this a lot, it an automatic 5+ yards
Well it would help if we actually had a competent offensive line, but we don't so we're gonna have to be more creative. I would like to see us put a tight end in the pass blocking scheme. I wanna see some quick slants. We did that a lot in the Giants game and they couldn't stop us. Run more screen plays. Get our explosive weapons the ball in space. I'm talking about Dez, Miles, and Murray.
Also for the love of God stop running the ball inside so damn much. That clearly doesn't work. Our bigs aren't getting any push. We need to run inside more. Murray is very quick and deceptive. Give that boy the ball and let him show his speed and elusiveness. I wanna see not only some toss plays, but some stretch plays.
We've got to find a way to get the run game going again. We need that to take pressure off Romo because he is having to throw the ball too much. He has no time right now and can't the ball down the field to those explosive weapons like Austin and Bryant. This offensive line isn't very good obviously, but if the play calling can improve and just be more creative we can make up for some of the deficiencies on the offensive line.
I actually blame play calling more than the offensive line. Jason Garrett is stubbornly sticking to offensive plays that are predicated on having a good offensive line. In my view, the Cowboys need to move to a run 'n' gun / westcoast hybrid. I know many of you out there hate the dink and dunk approach, but the plays have to exercise your players strength, otherwise you get the results that we've seen: embarrassing. Garrett's plays have a tendency to take way to long to develop. And let's face it, Romo just simply does not have that kind of time to wait on routes. He needs to take a 3 step drop and get rid of the football.
The run has failed even more than the pass. Why? Because Garrett does not know how to develop a running game. Running straight forward on the strongside over and over as a general rule is not going to build an effective run game. You have to switch up the types of runs and Garrett very rarely does anything different than having Demarco run into the backs of his C/G/OT two yards behind the line of scrimmage.
Nope. Help the offense by shrinking up the playbook, hunker down, get conservative. Run the ball, short passing game. Spread it out if you want to, but do so in order to run the ball. Do NOT, absolutely do NOT start winging the ball all over the place in a high flying passing attack.
We have a good defense and the offense should basically, NOT screw up the game and turn the ball over. Win the field position game.
give the ball to Murray even more. Get it to him more out of the backfield passing in the flat, one on one over the middle with a LB on him, ect...ect... WR screens to Dez Bryant. Everthing quick and conservative. If you pass, ball is out in 3 steps.
With this line it's automatic.
I totally agree. I think Romo would be perfect for a WC offense. I think our receivers would do very well with their RAC ability. Murray is a good fit with his receiving skills as well. I feel like Garrett's offense doesn't necessarily play to these players' strengths.
I had to laugh after I read the first sentence. is there any offense that's based on a bad OL? seriously!!! that's your line.
and in your expert opinion, we should change offense in the middle of a season to a run & gun.
and when was the last time the run & gun worked in the NFL?
when was the last time an offense worked without a decent OL?
btw, most teams run to the strong side. its called that because most teams run to the side of a TE. because of the strong blocker. that's why most teams put their pass rushing DE on the weak side. etc. etc. but all of that probably just went right over your head.
the running plays work because the linemen block. I don' tcare how you design running plays, if the OL doesn't block, you go nowhere.
How to improve OL play?
That's pretty simple.
Start making OL a draft day priority.
Kick out that worthless HC and OC.
And the GM. And the one who "hired" the GM. And the rest of his family.
Yes let's bench a Pro Bowl caliber quarterback for a guy who couldn't beat out Tim freaking Tebow.
Brilliant idea.
Actually, what I was saying is I think a hybrid of a west coast and the run n gun may help exercise the strength of our offensive line.
I didn't say they should do it in the middle of the season. But it wouldn't hurt for them to scrap what's not working and replace it with plays that our designed to get the ball out quickly.
I said a hybrid. But by definition, the run & gun (or run & shoot, as it was originally called) focuses on spreading out the defense, motioning receivers to create mismatches, and a fast tempo. That, mixed in with a West Coast offense, by my estimation, would be a great fit for the type of players we have. But I am no expert, far from it. So I certainly could be wrong. I responded because this forum is for people to offer their opinion and for others to make fun of those who do so to make them feel better about themselves. I hope your response to my opinion worked out for ya...
I think our OL is decent...as I said before, I believe Garrett is not using them correctly.
I know what the strongside is. But running to the strongside everytime is the equivalent of focusing primarily on the pass. You have to run to both sides to keep the defense honest. The occasional cut back wouldn't hurt either...
Granted. But there are different blocking schemes for different types of offensive lineman. Simply google blocking schemes, I'm not going to take the time to explain it to you.
Our playcaliing does not match to the skillset of our oline. The plays we've been calling are made for a power running game straight up the middle. As you can tell our oline is easily overpowered. What I think this oline can exceed well is out in space. Pull a guard out on a sweep or draw plays that catch the defense off guard.
Tie this problem with playcalling that is predictable and vanilla and you have an oline that looks weak and lackluster.
Remember, other olines are worst off then ours. Yet those teams find ways to win. Our OC just needs to be a bit more creative. Use quick counts, slants and quick passes, roll out Romo more in play action, and make the playcalling less predictable, like stop running up the gut on 1st down will help cover up some of the issues we have with the oline.
I don't think spread is the answer. You need intelligent receivers to do that. Witten, Austin, and Bryant have both missed hot reads this year. It seems they have a lot of problems separating in short routes, as well. They seemed to do OK against the Giants, but they were really thin at the CB position.

DRAGONS V ZEBRE (Tonight, KO 7pm)
NEWPORT Gwent Dragons may be without a few key figures but Zebre's list of notable absentees has ramped up the pressure on tonight's hosts to secure victory.
The Dragons start their RaboDirect Pro12 campaign against the new Italian franchise at Rodney Parade this evening.
They will do so without opensides Lewis Evans and Darren Waters, lock Robert Sidoli, scrum-half Joe Bed-ford, centre Adam Hughes and wing Tonderai Chav-hanga, who are all sidelined by injury.
However, Zebre have headed to Wales without lock Marco Bortolami, flanker Mauro Bergamasco, centre Matteo Pratichetti and back row forward Josh Sole – a quartet with a combined tally of 249 Italy caps.
They do still possess some real talent in their ranks, notably a dangerous back three of Sinoti Sinoti, Sam Pace and Giovanbattista Venditti, but they have been put at 11/4 by the bookies for a reason.
Zebre pretty much boast the same squad as the now defunct Aironi, who won just four times last season… with each success on their own patch.
That's not to say they should be dismissed.
It took a last-minute penalty try for the Dragons to win 10-9 in Italy while the 23-14 success at Rodney Parade was hardly a thing of beauty.
Nonetheless, Darren Edwards' side should boss matters tonight and the head coach will be looking for a strong scrummaging performance after giving the nod to loosehead Phil Price and tighthead Dan Way.
The pair both saw rivals Nathan Williams and Nathan Buck winning the battle for jerseys one and three last season but have made an impression on new set piece tsar Iestyn Thomas.
"The good thing is that everybody has started afresh with Iestyn and they have new challenges," said Edwards.
"He was particularly impressed by the way that Dan scrummaged in the pre-season game against London Irish so he gets the start.
"It was a tough call but we had plenty of those. We might have reduced our squad but we have had hard selection issues because these boys are all shooting it out with each other for starts."
Edwards hands the number 10 jersey to Steffan Jones on the back of a mature display against Irish and he will have Andy Tuilagi on his outside shoulder.
The Samoan, who has benefited from a hard pre-season, is paired with Pat Leach in a hard-running midfield.
"Andy has been nowhere near his potential for us and his performance against London Irish was a good base line for him, there is more to come from him," said Edwards.
"It was nice to see him fit, wanting the ball and keen to make a difference. He is on the right path and I am excited by pairing him with Pat.
"Pat has been one of our best performers in pre-season and the two of them should make it an imposing midfield.
"We have some mouthwatering potential combinations with the subtleties of Adam Hughes on the outside break, playmaking skills of Ashley Smith and the bright talent of Jack Dixon."
With Lewis Evans unable to lead out the side for the first time the captaincy goes to veteran hooker Steve Jones and the number seven jersey will be worn by Jevon Groves, who is usually a blindside flanker.
Andrew Coombs' pre-season form in the previously unfamiliar role of lock means that he gets the chance to develop his burgeoning partnership with debutant Ian Nimmo.
Full-back Dan Evans and wing Tom Prydie also make their Drag-ons bows while Hugh Gustafson, who was a loosehead prop this time last year, is on the bench as deputy hooker.
Dragons: D Evans, W Harries, P Leach, A Tuilagi, T Prydie, Steffan Jones, W Evans, P Price, Steve Jones, D Way, A Coombs, I Nimmo, D Lydiate, J Groves, T Faletau.
Replacements: N Williams, H Gustafson, N Buck, A Jones, T Brown, J Evans, L Robling, A Smith.
ZEBRE: S Sinoti, G Venditti, R Quartaroli, G Garcia (captain), S Pace, L Orquera, T Tebaldi, S Perugini, C Festuccia, D Ryan, Q Geldenhuys, E Caffini, N Cattini, A Van Schalkwyk, F Cristiano.
Replacements: D Giazzon, A De Marchi, L Leibson, F Cazzola, F Ferrarini, A Chillon, A Chiesa, R Trevisan.
Referee: George Clancy (Ireland)

The Olympics are a pinnacle of human achievement.
For two weeks every four years we set aside the political, religious, and financial matters that divide us in favor of friendly athletic competition.
Representatives from nations that are at odds run (or swim or bike or ride) side-by-side in contests that result in no lost lives or economic sanctions. Political rivals within a nation can forget about upcoming elections or legislative battles and come together to cheer on their country's strongest and fastest.
But like all human institutions, the Olympic Games are far from perfect.
There have been plenty of times when participants or organizers have fallen short of Olympic ideals or when ugly politics have imposed themselves on the games.
Here are 11 low points from the history of the Summer Olympics.
Note: This list concerns only the Summer Olympics. Look for a similar list of Winter Olympics lows in 2014.
* * * * *
1912: The International Olympic Committee strips Jim Thorpe of his gold medals.
By most criteria, Jim Thorpe was the greatest, most accomplished American athlete of the first half of the twentieth century (and possibly the entire century).
He's a member of the College and Pro Football Hall of Fames, having played running back, defensive back, placekicker, and punter for Carlisle Indian Industrial School and several early NFL teams. He played Major League Baseball for the Giants, Reds, and Braves. And he even played on a barnstorming basketball team called the World Famous Indians.
But perhaps the most impressive athletic feat on Thorpe's résumé is his performance at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm. Thorpe won gold medals in both the decathlon and pentathlon, winning four of the five pentathlon events and finishing in the top five of all ten decathlon events.
But 100 years ago Olympic athletes had to adhere to strict amateurism rules. Following the 1912 games the Worcester (MA) Telegram reported that Thorpe had played semi-pro baseball in North Carolina prior to competing in the Olympics. The Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), which back then was a big deal and more than just a haven for shady basketball coaches, recommended that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) retroactively void Thorpe's amateur status.
In 1913, several months after the Stockholm Olympics, the IOC did exactly that, and stripped Thorpe of his gold medals.
Jim Thorpe in 1912 won the discus portion of the pentathlon and finished third in the discuss portion of the decathlon. He won gold in both events, before the IOC took away his medals less than a year later.
Thorpe never denied earning money (albeit very little money) for playing baseball, but he claimed that he was ignorant of the rules. His supporters over the years have noted that Olympic amateurism rules were applied and enforced capriciously and that Olympic rules allowed only 30 days to challenge an athlete's eligibility. The AAU took much longer to file its complaint.
Advocates working on Thorpe's behalf tried unsuccessfully for decades to convince the IOC to reverse its decision. Avery Brundage, IOC President from 1952 to 1972 was particularly stubborn. Brundage had competed with Thorpe in the decathlon and pentathlon at the 1912 Olympics, but he had no sympathy for his late Team USA teammate.
In 1982, 70 years after Thorpe's dominance in the decathlon and pentathlon and more than 30 years after Thorpe's death, the IOC reinstated his gold medals.
* * * * *
1936: Germany doesn't allow Jewish athletes to compete.
We know the 1936 summer games today as the "Hitler Olympics," although Berlin actually won its bid to host the games two years before Hitler and the Nazi party came to power. But by 1936 Hitler was running the show in Germany, and he planned to use the Olympics to showcase not only his nation but also his party's ideology.
In addition to building a new 100,000-seat stadium and several state-of-the-art smaller venues, Hitler wanted to deny black and Jewish athletes the chance to compete in the games. The Nazi regime abandoned this plan when many countries threatened a boycott, but Hitler had no reservations about putting restrictions on German athletes.
With the exception of a single token athlete who had a Jewish father, fencer Helene Mayer, Jews and non-white athletes were barred from competing on the German team.
Among those denied a chance to compete were Lilli Henoch, a Jewish athlete who'd set world records in the shot put and discus and as a member of a record-setting 4 x 100 relay team, and Gretel Bergmann, who held the German national record in the high jump. Henoch died in the Holocaust in 1942.
The Nazi regime didn't allow Jewish track-and-field star Lilli Henoch to compete for Germany in the 1936 Olympics. She was one of many Jews that Nazis massacred in a ghetto in Riga, Latvia in 1942.
Black American sprinter and long jumper Jesse Owens famously made a mockery of Nazi notions of Aryan superiority by winning four gold medals. But he won one of those medals as a member of the 4 x 100 relay team. Team USA track coach Lawson Robertson added Owens to the relay team after removing Jewish American sprinters Sam Stoller and Marty Glickman. (Owens spoke up on behalf of Stoller and Glickman, but to no avail.)
While Robertson insisted that his only intent was to field the best possible team, Glickman believes that it was a political move, that Team USA leaders—among them Avery Brundage—didn't want to embarrass their Nazi hosts by putting a half-Jewish relay team on the gold-medal podium.

Christopher Raeburn Spring 2013
When it comes to presenting at London Fashion Week, Christopher Raeburn likes to think outside the box, often showing his clothes in unexpected and ingenious ways. Two seasons ago, for example, he took over the Museum of London and set his signature deconstructed parachute coats amidst a gigantic light-and-sound installation. This time around, however, the designer opted for a more traditional format, with a salon-style runway at Somerset House. "I want all the focus to be on the garments," said Raeburn backstage before the show. It turned out to be a wise decision on his part; the new collection was rife with subtle details and a focus on tailoring that demanded attention.
He used the uniforms of female aviators as a springboard for his designs, although the slim-cut, ripstop Italian blazers, which had the appearance of camo, will certainly find solid ground in a woman's wardrobe. Raeburn was looking to take his trademark sporty outerwear in a more feminine direction and developed a laminated lace that was completely showerproof. His delicate, diaphanous touch on anoraks and parkas was a lovely reimagining of utility.
Raeburn is keeping an eye on transparency where production is concerned too. He continues to work with sustainable fabrics, like quilted nylon spun from recycled bottles. The charming bunny and doggie handbags were treated with organic dyes, and the printed map dresses were cut from reclaimed 1930s silk. Those values will resonate with his ethically minded followers, even as he experiments with newer fashion-focused fabrics and silhouettes, which are certain to garner him a few new ones.

About the Show
(Adapted from www.imagi-nation.com/moonstruck/albm39.html)
Based on Damon Runyon's short story "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown," Guys and Dolls revolves around Nathan Detroit, the organizer of the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York, who bets fellow gambler Sky Masterson that he can't make the next girl he sees fall in love with him. The next girl he sees happens to be Miss Sarah Brown, a pure-at-heart Salvation Army-type reformer, and the stage is set for an hilarious evening of complications.
Producers Cy Feuer and Ernest Martin originally envisioned the musical as a serious romantic story along the lines of South Pacific. After hiring composer and lyricist Frank Loesser, they eventually went through 11 librettists before finally deciding to make the project a comedy and settling on Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, a radio and television writer with no theatrical experience.
Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser. Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. Original staging by George S. Kaufman.
Guys and Dolls opened at the 46th Street Theatre on November 24, 1950, and enjoyed a run of 1,200 performances-the fifth longest-running Broadway musical of the 1950s. The original cast included Robert Alda, Vivian Blaine, Sam Levene and Isabel Bigley. The 1955 film version featured Marlon Brando, Vivian Blaine, Frank Sinatra and Jean Simmons. In 1976, a Broadway revival was staged with an all-black cast.
(Adapted from www.theatrehistory.com/american/musical003.html)
The curtain rises on Broadway-the restless movement of its varied personalities and its feverish atmosphere beautifully captured in George S. Kaufman's direction. Three gamblers - Nicely-Nicely, Benny and Rusty Charlie-are soon found pouring over the day's racing form in a studied effort to pick the day's winners ("Fugue for Tinhorns"). Near by is the Save-a-Soul Mission of the Salvation Army, directed by Arvide Abernathy ("Follow the Fold"). Here Sky Masterson, a happy-go-lucky sort of fellow, meets the Salvation Army lass, Sarah Brown. He finds her fair game for his romantic sport. But Sarah tells him in no uncertain terms that he is not her kind of man, and that when such a man comes along she will know ("I'll Know").
At the Hot Spot night-club, chorus girls are going through one of their routines ("A Bushel and a Peck"). One of these entertainers, Adelaide, laments that she is addicted to psychosomatic colds ("Adelaide's Lament")...the cause...Nathan Detroit. She has been keeping company with him for fourteen years. But since he is a chronic gambler, there is always some game of chance to come between them just as they are about to get married. At that very moment, Nathan is involved in trying to find a place to house a floating crap game for some high players just come to town; and so, once again matrimony is farthest from his mind. His fellow gamblers, Nicely-Nicely and Benny, sympathize with him, for they have only contempt for anybody who allows himself to get deeply involved with a girl ("Guys and Dolls").
Meanwhile, Sky Masterson is pursuing Sarah. Stimulated by a bet, he decides to invite her to Havana. Her better judgment notwithstanding, Sarah goes off with Sky. In Havana she comes face to face with the glaring truth that she has fallen in love with him ("If I Were a Bell"). For his part, Sky has also come to realize that his game has become deadly serious; that he, too, was knee-deep in love ("I've Never Been in Love Before").
But after they return to Broadway, Sarah discovers that not love, but a bet, had been Sky's motive in taking her to Havana. She refuses to have anything more to do with him. Her troubles are compounded with the news that the Mission is in danger of closing down because not enough people take advantage of its services. With Sky's help, the Mission is saved: with his wide circle of friends on and near Broadway he can see to it that the Mission is crowded. Sarah's romantic interest in him is thereby revived. Her love affair with Sky achieves a happy resolution in marriage; and so, at long last, does that of Nathan and Adelaide.
Romance, however, is incidental in Guys and Dolls to the colorful picture provided of New York life, to the insight into the strange impulses and unique motivations governing the lives of some of the city's more picturesque characters.
Guys and Dolls remains one of America's favorite musicals, "depicting a world populated by a motley crew of eccentrics, non-conformists, Salvation Army do-gooders, and just plain irresponsibles: gamblers, night-club entertainers, and the like. It is this world, and these people, that are found in Guys and Dolls, a musical comedy originally described in the program as a 'fable of Broadway.'"

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania field hockey team continued its hot start in Ivy League play with a 5-4 overtime win against Dartmouth on Sunday. The Quakers play three non-conference games in a row, starting Wednesday when they travel to Rider to face the Broncs.
Click here for live stats!
The Series with Rider
The Quakers and the Broncs are meeting for just the fourth time in a series that has been fairly lopsided to date; in the previous three meetings, played over the last three years, Rider has outscored Penn 18-4 (8-3 in 2010, 7-1 in 2011, 3-0 last season).
About Rider
The Broncs (8-3) will be hosting their annual Play 4 The Cure game on Wednesday, to raise donations and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. Rider has won two in a row, defeating Saint Joseph's 2-1 on Friday and Lehigh 3-2 on Sunday. One of its losses came to Ivy foe Brown, 3-2. Nicole Hareau leads the Broncs with 10 goals, while Sandra Penas has seven goals and nine assists for a team-high 23 points. Kalyn O'Brien has scored four goals. At the other end, Joelle Prettyman has played all but 22 minutes in the cage; she has a 1.28 goals-against average and a .725 save percentage.
About Penn
*At 7-2, Penn is off to its best start since the 1995 team was also 7-2 after nine games. That 1995 squad would improve to 8-2 after 10 games en route to a 10-7 overall record.
*Penn is also 3-0 in Ivy League play for the first time since the 1995 team started league play 4-0.
*Last year the Quakers tied a program record for goals in a season, with 42. They are well on their way toward giving that mark a run this year, with 31 goals in their first nine games.
*Freshman forward Elise Tilton was named Ivy LeagueRookie of the Week on Tuesday, becoming the third Penn player to earn Ivy weekly honors in the last three weeks (Jasmine Cole two weeks ago, Carly Sokach last week).
*Tilton earned her honor by scoring twice in Penn's 5-4 overtime win against Dartmouth, the goals erased a 4-2 deficit and got the Quakers to OT. They were her sixth and seventh goals of the season.
*Cole leads Penn with 10 goals, while Emily Corcoran -- who was on the Ivy honor roll Tuesday after her OT winner against the Big Green -- has eight goals and four assists and is tied with Cole for the team lead with 20 points.
*Senior Sunny Stirewalt scored her first goal of 2013 on Sunday, off a Corcoran feed; she also has two assists this season.
*Sokach earned her Ivy League Player of the Week honor last week after her 12-save shutout at Harvard last Saturday.
*Sokach also had 11 saves in last Wednesday's loss to Lafayette, giving her four double-digit save games this season. She also had 11 in a 2-1 loss at Bucknell, and 12 in a 4-3 win against Cornell.
*Sokach has a .785 save percentage and a 2.12 goals-against average for the season. In the last six games, however, the save percentage is up (.823) while the GAA is down (1.83).
*Cole already has two hat tricks in her collegiate career; it took her four games to do it. The first one came at Saint Joseph's, and the second one came in her Ivy League debut against Cornell.
*Sophomore Elizabeth Hitti scored the goal in Penn's 1-0 win at Harvard -- a nice homecoming for the Massachusetts resident -- and now has eight points on the season (3g, 2a). Senior Julie Tahan also has eight points (2g, 4a).
*It has been nice to see junior Alex Iqbal get back onto the score sheet in recent games; she assisted Tilton's game-tying goal against Dartmouth, and also had an assist against Pacific. Iqbal was an All-Ivy performer as a freshman, but missed all of last year due to an injury.
*Tahan and Croddick were second-team All-Ivy players a year ago; both are back this season. Hitti, meanwhile, received honorable mention despite being a freshman. The team also welcomes back Iqbal, who was an All-Ivy honoree in 2011 as a freshman but missed all of last year due to injury.
*Tahan and Iqbal are this year's captains. In addition to Tahan, the other seniors are Stirewalt, Amelia Cohen and Katie Harrington.
Up Next...
Penn faces NCAA Division I newcomer UMass-Lowell Sunday afternoon in a neutral-site matchup at Yale University. The Quakers and Riverhawks will face off at noon.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Baseball management is more likely to consider expanded playoffs for 2012 than for next year.
After discussing upcoming collective bargaining Tuesday with major league general managers, MLB executive vice president Rob Manfred said adding wild-card teams for 2011 would be "a difficult trick to pull off" because it would have to be a modification of the current labor contract, which runs through next season.
Manfred said the proposal would have to be made by the owners' labor policy committee, then endorsed by owners and agreed to by the players' association.
"In the middle of a contract, we can't act unilaterally," said Manfred, baseball's chief labor negotiator.
Chicago Cubs general manager Jim Hendry favors additional wild cards. He credited commissioner Bud Selig with pushing through the initial wild-card playoffs, which began in 1995.
"It turns out the commissioner was right on," he said.
Hendry thinks a majority of GMs would back more playoffs.
"It's all about postseason baseball. That's what fans like," Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said.
Detroit Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski said the sentiment of the group isn't that clear cut.
"There was definitely a split on the topic when it came up. It's not per se that everybody's for it," he said.
GMs were to discuss bargaining some more today, and owners gather Thursday for the final day of meetings.
In the first trade of the session, two-time All-Star second baseman Dan Uggla was dealt from the Florida Marlins to the Atlanta Braves for infielder Omar Infante and left-hander Mike Dunn. Uggla is eligible for free agency after next season, and the Marlins couldn't reach an agreement on a longterm contract.
Florida is close to replacing some of the lost power with free-agent catcher John Buck, who is nearing agreement on an $18 million, three-year contract.
Among free agents, right-hander Jake Westbrook decided to stay with the St. Louis Cardinals, agreeing to a $16.5 million, two-year contract. Also, Texas Rangers GM Jon Daniels said he met with Cliff Lee and his agent on Monday in Arkansas, where the left-hander lives. The top starting pitcher on the market, Lee also is being pursued by the New York Yankees.
Last month, union head Michael Weiner said players were open to considering additional playoffs as part of collective bargaining, and Selig said the concept intrigued him. Baseball would have to gauge the interest of its television partners before deciding whether to add more postseason games.
Baseball doubled its playoff teams to four in 1969 and again to eight for 1995, a year later than intended because of a players' strike. If there were additional wild-card teams, baseball would have to decide the length of the new round.
Would you be in favor of adding more wild card teams and extending the playoffs? Or do you think the baseball season is long enough?

I thought there would not be enough meat on the ribs leftover from butchering the dry-aged subprimal (wrong) so I picked up a split chix for $6.50 at the local supermarket. Just sprinkled them with Adobo seasoning (too lazy to make a rub.) Finished with Sweet Baby Ray's. Turned out GREAT (but there were leftovers from just the two of us..) Minimal time and effort (let alone cash) for a pretty tasty meal ..

Stella Creasy has called on local residents to take part in a march tomorrow for International Women's Day.
Walthamstow's Wonderful Women Walk will celebrate the talent and diversity of local women and organisers say it will encapsulate the spirit of British suffragettes as modern feminists continue to work towards equality.
"We really want this to be a big celebration of the future that Walthamstow has," the Walthamstow MP said.
"We're running at half power as a society because we just haven't realised the ability of women and when we do that, we'll all benefit."
"What I'm doing with this march is being an advocate for all the women that we're not hearing from, to try and encourage them to support each other, to come forward, and for men to see how important it would be for everyone if we did that."
Inspiration for the walk came from a photograph Ms Creasy was shown depicting suffragettes in 1910 marching from Cedars Avenue, Walthamstow, as part of their campaign to allow women the vote.
The event ended with Emmeline Pankhurst, leader of the British suffragette movement, and her daughter Christabel addressing a crown on Walthamstow High Street.
It is hoped similar scenes will occur tomorrow, with those taking part encouraged to wear suffragette colours - purple, green and white - and sashes for a photograph, which will be taken on Cedars Avenue to mimic that taken more than 100 years ago.
Campaigner Arifa Nasim, 16, described Ms Creasy as an inspiration and said the march would be "a fantastic opportunity to proudly display what we have a achived over the last 100 years".
The March begins at midday in Cedars Avenue and ends at Walthamstow Assembly Hall at 2pm, where the Waltham Forest Women's Network is hosting events including a food festival, dancing and workshops.

Did you know?
A young lawyer from India named Mahatma Gandhi arrived in Durban in 1893 and spent about 20 years in South Africa.
Little Gujarat restaurant in Durban is set in the hub of the city's bustling downtown Indian district and offers tasty Indian vegetarian food costing not much more than the change in your pocket.
With a large Indian community living in this vibrant coastal city, vegetarian restaurants are popular and easily accessible. Little Gujarat vegetarian restaurant is a real gem: it's a simple set-up that serves lunch and early dinner, and is a favourite with locals and visitors alike.
During the day the restaurant pulses with diners from all walks of life, popping in for a meal or quick snack. The food is fresh and flavourful, with options for vegans and Jain vegetarians.
Diners trek to Little Gujarat for three signature dishes: puri patta (fried roti – a type of thin, flat Indian bread – served with curry sauce); masala dosa (crisp Indian pancake stuffed with potato, fried onions and spices); and freshly made sojee (sweet, creamy dessert).
Other popular choices include samoosas (a fried triangular savoury pastry usually containing potato or spicey fried vegetables), vegetable curries, rotis, bunny chows (a Durban specialty comprising a hollowed-out half loaf of bread with a stuffing), pakoras (fried vegetable fritters) and pickles, which can be washed down with sweet, milky chai tea. Prices are so low that you'll often do a double-take. You can also order your favourite dishes as take-outs if you're on the move.
While South Africa is known as a meat-eating nation, vegetarian restaurants are becoming more popular with many South Africans opting for a healthy change through a vegetarian or vegan diet.
With dining options like Little Gujarat, there is no shortage of delicious, filling and affordable food for vegetarians. It's no wonder patrons come back time and time again.

The future of Kingston will be decided today as voters go to the polls to decide who runs the borough.
Liberal Democrats hope to keep hold of Kingston Council while the Conservatives aim to win the 25 seats necessary to have overall control for the first time in decades.
Four years ago the Conservatives were convinced they had toppled the Liberal Democrats from power, only to suffer disappointment on the night as their rivals increased their number of seats.
Labour, Greens, UKIP, Trade Unionists and Socialists Against Cuts and the BNP also have candidates.
There is also a European election vote today with candidates including Kingston Liberal Democrat Simon James and Conservative Syed Kamall.
The Liberal Democrats control Kingston Council as the party with the most seats.
- Liberal Democrats: 25
- Conservatives: 22
- Independent: 1
Liberal Democrat leader Liz Green tweeted this morning: "Here's to a busy but enjoyable day ahead."
After the polls close at 10pm counting the votes could take until 5am or 6am, though one of the parties could reach the magic number of seats - 25 - before then, handing them the reins of power.

HOUSTON - The neighbor of a woman who died in a north Harris County house fire could not get through to 911, she said.
Wednesday night, a fire in the 13400 block of Rawlings Street claimed the life of Wanda Gann, 64.
Gann's husband, Jerry, was not home when the fire started. He left to buy ice and the house was on fire when he came back.
An initial report by Harris County fire investigators stated that Gann was smoking a cigarette while using portable oxygen equipment.
Gann had serious health issues, her family said.
But several family members said they do not believe she was smoking when the fire broke out.
"Her cigarettes were clear across the room. She couldn't move over there," son, Tracy Bagwell, said.
Bagwell said he believes wayward fireworks may have caused the July 4 fire.
Next door neighbor Jessie Barber said that she tried to call 911 several times to report the fire, but was put on hold.
"I called and called, several times. I couldn't get through to anyone," Barber said.
Local 2 Investigates confirmed that four calls to 911 were placed by Barber's phone Wednesday night.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office dispatch center also confirms that exceptionally high call volume on July 4, forced some emergency callers to wait up to 75 seconds before being connected to a person.
In this case, the call was then transferred to a local dispatch center, then to several volunteer fire departments.
Public records and information gathered from multiple agencies reveal the total time from initial 911 call to first fire truck arriving to be 10 minutes 26 seconds. The Harris County Sheriff's Office said the actual time was eight minutes, according to their separate records.
The closest responding fire department, EastTex Volunteer Fire Department, is 2/10 of a mile from the scene of the fire.
The average call time for emergency scene is about 8 minutes 30 seconds, one official said.

I'm a huge fan of autumn, probably because it contains my two favorite holidays: Halloween and Thanksgiving. Even though I'm way too old to go trick-or-treating and I've long since given up my early-20s Halloween antics, All Hallow's Eve resonates through every fiber of my being as the ultimate time of year.
Maybe it's the fact that Fall marks the reappearance of an intense palette of browns, oranges, and reds in the foliage, or it could be that I can finally (FINALLY!) pull out my box of favorite scarves from high up in the closet. There's just something about the chill in the air, the hordes of squash stacked up in pumpkin patches around town, and the iconic images of black cats and pointy-hatted witches that appear everywhere I look. This time of year is special.
As autumn rolls around, jam-making often slows to a trickle in the absence of summer's incredible bounty. In my house, however, we're just getting started. Orange-y hues in the trees means that it's also orange season here in California, making it the perfect season for marmalade.
I like to punch up my marmalade with warming spices, and this recipe is no different. I've added a little ginger to provide a bit of zip for these short, cool days. The addition of black sesame seeds was originally to produce a festive jam for Halloween, but it turns out that they actually lend a lovely earthy flavor and snappy texture to the oranges' tart personality.
Little bits of orange and lemon zest add even more color and texture, making for an experience that pleases not just the tastebuds, but makes for a visual treat as well. This marmalade is now my go-to jamming project for Fall; it's a wonderful addition spread across warm toast or mixed into a bowl or plain yogurt.
Note: This recipe involves cutting oranges into segments, a method also called supreming an orange. Click here for a tutorial on how to segment citrus.

"We'll leave this as a police matter. "

People's first tools are their hands, and hand building as a clay-working technique is companion to human history. Hand-coiled, pinched, molded, and rolled clay resulted in bricks, vessels, and sculptures long before the development of the potter's wheel. The five North Carolina artists highlighted in "Handbuilt" skillfully employ these timeless techniques in a present-day mode.
An opening reception will be Friday, May 17th from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm.

As the FT reported this morning, the US has refused to give the Europeans the big, bold announcement on trade that they were desperately seeking.
The plan was that tomorrow's US-EU summit would announce the beginning of negotiations to form a trade agreement between the US and Europe. But, for now, the Americans are refusing to play ball.
In Brussels, some may see this as a lamentable lack of vision. In fact, it is simply a welcome injection of some scepticism and realism. Read more

• dystopia •
Pronunciation: dis-top-i-yê • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: An imaginary place in which conditions are disastrous.
Notes: Dystopia has been around long enough to have picked up a couple of relatives. Dystopian is the adjective and the personal noun with the sense "one who advocates or describes a dystopia". Dystopianism "the quality of (a) dystopia" has been used at least once according to the Oxford English Dictionary.
In Play: Dystopia is a good word to use for most of the movies emerging from Hollywood these days: "In the movie, The Book of Eli, Denzel Washington plays a man of superhuman principles living in a dystopia that resulted from a worldwide nuclear catastrophe." Unfortunately, real dystopias exist even today: "The people of Syria are living in a hellish dystopia in 2013."
Word History: Today's Good Word is a coinage by a writer based on the coinage of another writer. As noted in Hansard, the official record of the British House of Commons debates, John Stuart Mill coined this word in 1868. Mill obviously created the word from dys- "bad" + utopia "(place of) perfect living conditions". Modern Latin utopia, literally "nowhere", in its turn, was coined for title of a book by Thomas More, first published in 1516. The book told of an imaginary island where life was perfect in every respect. Although More adapted the word to Latin, it originates from Greek ou "not" + topos "place". Topos is found also in toponymy "the study of place names" and topography "a detailed description of a place". The meaning of utopia was extended to "a place of perfect living conditions" in the 1610s. (We hope that Paul Stayert will find this note of our gratitude for suggesting today's Good Word a lenient assuasive.)

First Attempt At Felting..July 29th, 2007
So as I promised, some blog action!
I finished knitting the rectangle to test on last night, and then this morning shoved the knitted rectangle into the washing machine in a pillowcase (as stated on a pattern I have for a felted bag). And then this evening I thought I might as well make it into something, so I sewn up the edges, added a button and little hook and it is now a case for whatever I want to put in it :p (it fits my camera in perfectly so may well be used for that!).
I'm going to have another go this week, but I think I'll put some jeans in the wash with it too as I heard this aggravates it more, making it more felted.
I think this turned out ok, but it's not as felted as I'd have liked… but that just means I'll have to do some more experimenting!

Beach and Ocean Cleanup- Saving the World One Dive at a Time!
Riviera Beach, United States
26.783851, -80.043039
View on Google Maps
My name is Natalia Pluta and I attend Suncoast Community High School in Riviera Beach Florida. For my IB Personal Project, I am organizing a beach and reef clean-up under the Blue Heron Bridge on October 5th. The ocean cleanup will begin around 8 AM and last approximatley 2 hours and then the beach cleanup will start at 11 AM and continue to 2 PM.
It is hard to believe how much garbage and debris can be found there. The Blue Heron Bridge is a world famous diving destination that can be found in a number of dive magazines. The underwater panorama is pulchritudinous and astonishing. There are millions of miniscule criters inhabiting the ocean water around the bridge. Unfortunately, a large number of bottles, plastic bags, fishing lines, etc. can all be found on the beach and with the tides and other natural factors, the garbage enters the marine ecosystem. Actually, the first time I went diving at the bridge, my instructor and I found a baby octopus living in a beer bottle! The garbage kills thousands of innocent animals alone in the waters around West Palm Beach. *** However, during the ocean cleanup, we will primarilly focus on fishing lines and plastic. We will NOT collect any objects that have growth on them and are part of the ocean ecosystem. **** If you or your family member is planning to dive- you MUST BE SCUBA CERTIFIED - please arrive promtly at 8 AM! If you are just planning to attend the beach cleanup, please come at 11 AM. Before the clean-up pizza will be served and I will give a short presentation about the effects of debris on marine life, and how we can all help, and bring this problem to a halt. Please make sure you are on time!! Let's all join together and make a difference! Everybody is invited, both young and old, divers and non-divers, simply everybody! Please join me on October 5th, 2013! I hope to see you there! If you are planning to attend either cleanup, please RSVP to Natalia @ 561-876-5763

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Finish this sentence, "Fourteen hundred and ninety-two, Columbus..." Almost everybody knows this little rhyme to help remember when Columbus discovered America (answer: "... sailed the ocean blue"). You probably learned this fact several years ago, and you will always remember it because it has been imprinted into your memory using a rhyme.
You can use this technique to help you remember things in your daily life. For example, if you need to remember that you have a doctor's appointment, you could remember the phrase, "When I put on my sock, remember the doc." Now, every morning when you put on your socks, it's likely that you'll remember your rhyme and thus the appointment. Likewise, if you need to remember that your boss is allergic to nuts, you could remember "I'll feel like a klutz if I feed him some nuts."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/12/2013 (1343 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A quick glance at the calendar reveals Christmas -- that holy and wondrous day of celebration, gift-giving and receiving -- is just nine days away.
And while Winnipeg Blue Bombers fans are giddily rubbing their hands together for a spiffy new starting quarterback to be magically delivered under the tree, they might have to wait until well into the new year to have their wishes granted.
The Ottawa Redblacks expansion draft, which happens today and will see 24 players move to the nation's capital, is expected to knock the first quarterback domino into motion with the Canadian Football League's newest entry likely to grab two pivots.
And that will have a dramatic impact on what is left for the Bombers, the most QB-starved club in the land.
"It's going to clear up everyone's quarterback plan," Bombers GM Kyle Walters said of the expansion draft. "Whoever Ottawa selects, it's going to put one more piece of the quarterback puzzle in this league to bed, and then the next pieces will be able to fall into place for the other teams."
Redblacks GM Marcel Desjardins has stated the club will not select players who are scheduled to become free agents in February, making Calgary Stampeders QBs Kevin Glenn or Drew Tate very attractive -- assuming Bo Levi Mitchell is protected -- along with Thomas DeMarco in B.C., Matt Nicholls in Edmonton, Jeremiah Masoli in Hamilton, Trevor Harris in Toronto and Tanner Marsh in Montreal.
Expect the Redblacks to grab two from that list (only one from a team), unless they feel they can select and sign a prospective free agent such as Zach Collaros of the Argos (whom the Bombers covet), Henry Burris, who is 38, but still threw for a league-leading 4,925 yards, Roughriders No. 2 man Drew Willy or Alouettes prospect Josh Neiswander.
But it's here where things get interesting. As hard as the Bombers have tried to deal with the Argos for Collaros -- and the rights to negotiate with him exclusively before Feb. 15 -- it's believed he wants to explore possible NFL opportunities and leave options open for free agency.
The Bombers, meantime, would be selling him hard on the fact the No. 1 gig is open here and that new head coach Mike O'Shea comes from the Argo family.
But there are no guarantees any of that gets done -- or even set in motion -- after Monday's expansion draft. So, Walters was asked last week, can the Bombers afford to wait until free agency to get a quarterback in place?
"That's a good question," he said. "I mean, how much are you willing to risk? If we think we can get a quarterback under contract Feb. 15, then I don't see the value of trading an asset just for the sake of appeasing you guys (media) and the fans, to be perfectly honest with you.
"There needs to be a sound logic to what we're doing and not just trade away the farm for the right to sign a guy that we think we're going to be able to sign in February."
The Bombers can protect one quarterback for the Ottawa expansion draft and it will be Max Hall, who completed 57.2 per cent of his passes for 1,999 yards, nine TDs and 10 interceptions. That will leave Justin Goltz and Jason Boltus exposed for the Redblacks.
There's also possibilities the Redblacks could select and then trade a player on Monday or, following the draft, other teams could start wheeling and dealing. Expect Walters to be active in any and all talks.
"I've talked to everybody about trades," he said. "Everyone is going to lay low and wait and see how Monday unfolds. And then if there is anybody that has been selected that we might want, and maybe on our team that they couldn't select but they truly wanted, see if something like that could be worked out.
"Now Ottawa is going to have a roster and if they've targeted somebody who was protected on our team, for example, but there's now somebody on their roster that might have more value to us, that might be the kind of stuff you're going to see after the draft as far as trades.
"(The draft) could provoke some discussions."
And, maybe, a quarterback for the Bombers.

ONE Quarterback: Max Hall
Not protected: Justin Goltz, Jason Boltus
10 Imports: WR/SB Clarence Denmark, WR/SB Wallace Miles, DB/LB Desia Dunn, OL Jarvis Jones, DB Demond Washington, DB/LB Johnny Sears, Jr., LB Ian Wild, DT Bryant Turner, DT Zach Anderson, OL Glenn January.
Not protected: RBs: Will Ford*, Mario Fannin, Chad Simpson*; Recs: Terrence Edwards, Mike Sims-Walker, Chris Matthews*, Aaron Woods, Aaron Kelly; DBs: Jovon Johnson*, Brandon Stewart*, Alex Suber*, Bo Smith, Marty Markett, Jeremy McGee; LB: Daniel Sheffield, Terrell Parker; DL: J.D. Griggs, J.T. Gilmore*, Greg Peach, Kenny Mainor*, Michael McAdoo; OLs: Shannon Boatman, Andre Douglas* Dan Knapp.
Notable: Hall was a no-brainer among the three QBs... Opted to protect Miles over Aaron Kelly because of upside... January and Jones help solidify tackle positions; ditto for Anderson and Turner on the interior of D-line... Toughest call was leaving veteran Terrence Edwards unprotected. The Bombers need veteran leadership but his age (Edwards turns 35 in April) and durability might mean Ottawa steers clear.
Six Canadians: SB Cory Watson; OL Justin Sorensen*; OL Chris Greaves; OL Tyson Pencer; LB Henoc Muamba*: OL Patrick Neufeld.
Not protected: RBs: Carl Volny, Michel-Pierre Pontbriand*, Carl Fizgerald; Recs: Akeem Foster*, Kito Poblah, Jade Etienne*, Rory Kohlert*; OLs: Chris Kowalczuk*, Steve Morley*, Paul Swiston, Marc Parenteau*; DBs: Cauchy Muamba, Teague Sherman, Dan West*; LBs; Pierre-Luc Labbe* (retired), Philippe Dubuisson-Lebon, James Green, Rene Stephan; DLs: Jake Thomas, Ryan Lucas*, Mathieu Boulay; K/LS Sandro DeAngelis, Mike Renaud*, Chris Cvetkovic*.
Notable: Protected two Canadians in Muamba and Sorensen who are potential free agents. Muamba, even with NFL interest, is too good to let to go to market if he doesn't sign down south. Sorensen is the starting centre and a 6-8, 311-pound Canadian who is just 27 might be tempting to Ottawa.

Geology Graduate Program
Saint Louis University has a long tradition in Geoscience education including fundamental contributions to observational and theoretical Geophysics. Our department was founded by Dr. James B. Macelwane, S. J., an exceptional scientist, influential president of the American Geophysical Union, and the namesake of a prestigious national geophysics award for outstanding young scientists. His successors, who were also outstanding scientists, include Dr. William Stauder, S. J., who made important studies of subduction-zone faulting processes during the development of plate tectonics, and Dr. Otto Nuttli, who made fundamental contributions to our understanding of intra-plate earthquakes including the great 1811-1812 New Madrid, Missouri earthquakes. Our traditional research strength is in Seismology and Geophysics, and we have more than 50 alumni in the petroleum industry, government agencies, and academia.
To address a broader range of inter- and multi-disciplinary research challenges we have expanded our research expertise and developed Master's degree programs in the broader discipline of Geoscience.

Hello everybody,
Am trying to update my RaLink RT73 USB Driver downloaded from ASPj's WiFi Page: mdk3, rt73, rt2570 and other aircrack-ng experiments but its not getting updated. I checked the previous version with lsmod and then modinfo rt73usb which is 2.3.0. The one am trying to install is 3.0.3. Am following the instructions in the readme file which says make and make install which doesnt give any errors but still i see the same old version 2.3.0. Also the update states that it would make the interface from wlan0 to rausb0 which is also not happening.
The reason I want to update my drivers is coz aireplay-ng isnt injecting any packets

The data column simply isnt increasing in BT4...

A CRICKETING great who played in the Lancashire League for nearly a decade in its heyday will be returning to East Lancashire for the first time in 56 years tonight.
Sir Everton Weekes played almost 50 times for the West Indies and was one of the game's greatest players of his era, but it was his exploits for Bacup that he is best remembered for in East Lancashire.
The 89-year-old signed for Bacup in 1949 having already played several Test matches, and he went on to dominate the Lancashire League until he left the club in 1958.
Sir Everton, born in Barbados, was the professional at Lanehead for seven of those 10 years and he played 170 games for the club.
He averaged an incredible 91 during those matches and more than 10,000 people would regularly descend on grounds to watch him and other international professionals which were gracing the league at the time.
A spokesman for Bacup Cricket Club said: "Tonight arguably the greatest ever professional to play for our club, Sir Everton Weekes, will be visiting the club for the first time since the last season he played here in 1958.
"Sir Everton averaged 58.61 in the 48 Test matches he played for West Indies and a steady 91.60 for us in the 170 games he played.
"He is a true legend of the game and it would be great to get as many people as possible attending the club to meet and greet the great man. Everyone is welcome."
After retiring from cricket Sir Everton was made an OBE, before in 1995 he was Knighted for his services to cricket.
Sir Everton, a member of the famous 'three W's' along with Clyde Walcott and Frank Worrell, will be appearing at the club's Lanehead Lane ground from 6pm to 8pm.

After spending a month writing Give us a chance appeal stories and hearing so many people praising the good work Trowbridge children's centre Stepping Stones does, I felt it was time I saw what they do first-hand.
While I was at the centre, in Broadcloth Lane, they let me join their caterpillar room activities helping four-year-old Ruby, who has Downs Syndrome.
Ruby, has been going to Stepping Stones since she was a baby and was one of 10 children in the class at the centre who serve west Wiltshire youngsters with learning difficulties and disabilities.
During our time together we dressed as builders, played with blocks and read books.
These might sound like basic activities but the fun we had also stimulates Ruby's mind and the repetition helps build her memory and observational skills.
After free play, the bubbly little girl joined her other classmates for registration and a team of five Stepping Stones staff worked together to notice any changes and development in the children.
Amanda Bush, play leader, took the session giving the youngsters a choice of cards with their names on with them needing to find their own.
Her colleagues made notes of the children's individual behaviour with their findings being used to cater sessions to the progress they are making.
As part of the class, the children and staff sing to welcome each pupil, with Makaton sign language also used as part of the song.
I was overwhelmed by the effectiveness of the activity and how simple Stepping Stones' staff made such a complex task, with the skill likely to be a huge benefit to the children's future communication.
Later in the day, the children took part in group work, outside play, craftwork sessions and even made pancakes.
In the summer, these children will leave Stepping Stones and head to either mainstream or specialist education.
From my brief time at the centre it is very apparent their lives will be much the better thanks to the efforts of Stepping Stones and my visit emphasised how it vital it is that such a valuable resource remains part of our community.
It was a pleasure visiting Stepping Stones and I hope the fundraising campaign continues to go from strength to strength and the charity succeeds in its annual quest to raise £50,000.

|Forums: Index → Narutopedia Discussion → Canon Vs Non-Canon?
Dear Narutopedians.
I'm an avid Wiki-editor, and Narutard, and frequently I love to visit Narutopedia for those very reasons. But, and I hate to say this, one thing really confuses me about this Wiki. And that issue is, why do we treat the Tv Series as equal to the manga?
Don't get me wrong, the series is an integral part of the Naruto fandom. Yet, and I'm sure many do agree, I believe the manga (and author's statements) are the only resource that should ever be consulted for Naruto information.
My Suggestion: We should seperate articles by "canon" and "non-Canon." Characters and information used in fillers should be under a section labeled "non-canon," so several canon-oriented Narutards such as myself can tell the difference between what appears in the manga, and what appears in the Naruto show.
If anyone here would like to e-mail me at withmycat(AT)yahoo(Dot)com I'm fully willing to help accomplish this task (I realize it's a big one!).
- I personally would think it would be better if we would simply ignore what is considered canon and whats not considered canon. For example: In to many articles (particarlly the main characters) have that annoying subsection "Filler Arcs" which I don't like. The flow of the pages would work better if they were simply treated as they were intended as, add ons. So instead of going from "Blah Blah Arc" to "Filler Arc" we instead simply use whatever that 'arc' was called. Though I have completely confused myself. I was awake for to long.--TheUltimate3 03:37, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Outwarddoodles 01:44, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, in order to make a true filler arc, they must first consult the makers of the Naruto Manga themselves to see if they like the addons
Therefore, they can in a way, be considered canon, as the makers of Naruto verified their additions

10 Amazingly Bad Retro Halloween Costumes: What Exactly Was Wrong With Your Parents?
With their unintentionally terrifying masks and bizarre plastic coverall-style suits, the Halloween costumes produced by Ben Cooper, Inc. have become downright iconic in American pop culture through sheer awfulness. From the '50s to the '80s, they were a staple of Halloweens across the country and are still valued as vintage collectibles, despite the fact that they are -- and this is putting it nicely -- hilariously awful. With Halloween just around the corner, we're still feeling a little nostalgic for those mind-bogglingly terrible costumes of days gone by. That's why today, I've picked out 10 Amazingly Bad Retro Halloween Costumes from the archives at the Wonderful Wonderblog!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/1/2013 (1687 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
PASADENA -- It might be fairly argued, in both creative and audience-attraction terms, that Smash failed to live up to its lofty title last year.
But the Broadway-bound NBC musical-drama series deserves praise for its ambition, and certainly earned a shot at a second prime-time season. Starting early next month, it's time for last year's most-hyped new show to finally stand and deliver.
"Changes-wise, I actually think it's still sort of Smash," newly installed executive producer Joshua Safran (who replaces series creator/showrunner Theresa Rebeck) said this week during NBC's portion of the U.S. networks' semi-annual press tour in Los Angeles.
"I don't really think it's changed that much. I think that the stuff from last year that you loved is still there, and the stuff from last year that maybe some people thought ... went off on tangents, we looked at and we sort of tried to find a way to circle back together, but it still is the same Smash, just maybe bigger, more music, a little bit maybe younger in some regards.
"I hope the people who watch it still see the same show that they loved."
Smash, which returns Feb. 5 on NBC (and, in Canada, on CTV), follows the creation and production of a fictional Broadway musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. Former American Idol finalist Katharine McPhee and real-life Broadway belter Megan Hilty play the two young actresses competing for the show-within-the-show's starring role.
At the end of Smash's rookie season, wide-eyed Midwesterner Karen (McPhee) finally landed the role, prompting spurned Ivy (Hilty) to seek revenge by sleeping with her rival's fiancé. That final twist was one of several soapy/clunky story elements that didn't sit well with many of the fans who followed the show because they loved its musical performances.
In the retooled, about-to-relaunch version of Smash, narrative annoyances such as Karen's former fiancé, show co-writer Julia's (Debra Messing) extramarital affair and painful at-home situation, and producer Eileen's (Anjelica Huston) scheming assistant, Ellis -- undoubtedly the most universally despised character and storyline element in Season 1 -- will have faded into a mostly forgotten past as the storyline focuses on staging the musical, Bombshell, and the goings-on at a younger-skewing off-Broadway show called Hit List.
"One of the fun things ... in the second season of the show is that we do have more original music, more musical sequences per episode, and more diverse musical styles, which we thought was really an amazing way to utilize Broadway," Safran explains.
"When you look at Broadway right now, there's shows that take place in the 1800s (and) there's shows that are today. It really is a bigger world view, and I just wanted to sort of find a way to represent that Broadway on Smash as well."
Joining the cast is young Tony Award nominee Jeremy Jordan as Jimmy Collins, the co-writer and star of Hit List, who, in preview clips screened for TV critics here, seems headed for a romantic entanglement with Bombshell star Karen.
Jennifer Hudson will appear in three episodes of the new season as Veronica Moore, a big-time Broadway star whose arrival on the scene impacts both Karen and Ivy.
Also on the Season 2 guest list are Messing's former Will & Grace co-star Sean Hayes and Law & Order alumnus Jesse L. Martin. Bernadette Peters will return as Ivy's Broadway-star mother.
Hoping to capitalize on Smash's Feb. 5 return, NBC is releasing a soundtrack CD that includes 22 tracks from the fictional Bombshell songbook (from both the first and second seasons of the show). It will be available to the public on Feb. 12.
