St George Illawarra legend Matt Cooper has implored the Dragons to persevere with Josh Dugan at centre, admitting he was shocked at how quickly he adapted to the position.
Despite his success there calls are growing louder for Dugan to return to fullback, where he can increase his involvement when he plays in Canberra on Saturday for the first time since his sacking by the Raiders.
He may be public enemy number one in the capital, but Cooper has seen enough promising signs from Dugan to feel his days in the no.1 jersey are over.
One of the best defensive right centres the modern game has seen, Cooper has mentored Dugan through his role as Dragons defence coach.
Dugan has also had the luxury of learning from interim head coach Paul McGregor, himself a former great Dragons centre.
He was outstanding for NSW at centre this year, helping the Blues break its Origin drought, and Cooper wants him to stay there.
The Dragons named Dugan at centre on Tuesday, with Gerard Beale moving to fullback to replace the rested Adam Quinlan.
"I'd like him to stay at centre, he's got a bit of work to do but I think he's done a great job,'' Cooper said.
"He's surprise me, I thought it would take him a bit longer to pick it up.
"In the Origin series he was outstanding, his defence was the highlight for me.
"I've given him as much advice as I can, he wants to listen and learn and that's making my job easier.
"I'm helping him defensively on where to be and the position you need to be in, and the choices you have to make as a centre.
"The big changes are the decisions in defence and more tackling, but he's got the frame to be a centre.''
Dugan is bracing for a hostile reception from Green Machine fans, but Cooper believes he can have the last laugh by exploiting Canberra's flimsy left edge defence.
It has been bolstered however by the return last week of winger Edrick Lee, and Dugan's centre battle with in-form Raider Jarrod Croker promises to be a highlight.
"I think he'll be excited to be playing back in Canberra, he played some great footy for the Raiders,'' he said.
"He's got a tough game, he's up against Croker which will be a great battle.''
Cooper said staying at centre would also aid Dugan's future Origin hopes given Parramatta star Jarryd Hayne's brilliance at fullback.
"Jarryd Hayne is the best player in the world in my eyes, you can't move him from fullback,'' Cooper said.
"We were a bit light on in centre this year, and Josh took his chance with both hands.''
Cooper achieved virtually everything in the game, but failed to win in Canberra in 14 seasons with the Dragons.
He rejected claims the Raiders have a mental stranglehold over them, and is confident they can break the hoodoo by winning in Canberra for the first time since 2000.
The Raiders have also won the past nine meetings at any venue.
"I played first grade for 14 years and never won a game in Canberra, that's how tough it is for us down here,'' Cooper said.
"I don't know what it is, the last few years we've been so close.
"It's not a mental barrier for us, I think it's more the Raiders players have got that confidence about themselves when they play the Dragons.
"It's always in the media in the lead-up, that's the way it is. The players have to be professional and just try and block it out.''

Using whole cell analysis in a primary screen is essential to enable the researcher to determine the effect of compounds in the presence of all the associated proteins in the correct stoichiometric ratio and location within the kinase cascade. Only in a whole cell environment will a multiple component pathway be present, and hence assays to determine kinase activation must take these factors into account.
TTP Labtech's acumen has been widely used to study protein phosphorylation. It provides an extremely fast, sensitive and robust method to detect the effects of small molecules or RNAis on signalling pathways, without the requirement for complex, prolonged off-line image analysis.
Since cell processing and labelling is performed with microplates, this technique is highly amenable to automation. The novel design features of the acumen hci imager used in these studies permit whole well analysis at read times compatible with primary screening campaigns with daily throughputs of up to 300,000 compounds per day (Auld et al. (2006) Methods in Enzymol. 414: pp566-89).

Whiteley celebrates first birthday
Published: 28 May, 2014
Whiteley, the 320,000 sq ft retail and leisure destination in Hampshire, has celebrated its first birthday.
The scheme – comprising 58 shops and restaurants and anchored by M&S - marked the occasion with a giant cake and birthday card and by rewarding one shopper with a £1,000 shopping spree.
Since opening on 23 May 2013, Whiteley has welcomed 4.7 million shoppers and secured a raft of new retail and leisure operators including Monsoon, Joules, Phase Eight, YO! Sushi and Wagamama.
The scheme also won in the New Development Medium Centre category at the ICSC European Shopping Centre Awards and was highly commended in the New Centre category at the BCSC Gold Awards and the Destination of the Year category at the Oracle Retail Week Awards.
Claire Barber, head of shopping centre asset management for British Land, said: "Whiteley continues to surpass our expectations and we are delighted with its performance to date. We look forward to Whiteley's continued success and opening the leisure phase next summer."
Looking forward, work has started on an £18m leisure extension which will open in summer 2015. The second phase will deliver a nine-screen Cineworld cinema and 30,000 sq ft of additional restaurant and leisure space including Five Guys, Nando's, PizzaExpress and Coast to Coast. The extension is 75 per cent let with two units still available.

When it comes to electronic warfare, I'm a dangerous man - and I've got the computer print out to prove it.
On my first crack at the Australian Defence Force's Weapons Training Simulation System (WTSS) at Duntroon last week, I scraped through with a pass - a 200-millimetre ''group'' of hypothetical bullets into an on-screen display at 100 metres. It was a close thing. With a final score of 195.9 millimetres, I made it with 4.1 millimetres to spare.
The 200-millimetre ''group'' is the basic standard for soldiers and cadets being introduced to weapons via a ''first-person shooter'' simulator in the ACT.
Duntroon's high-tech facility means people can be introduced to firearms safely and much more cheaply than in a target range environment, where they are shooting off live rounds at up to 60c a pop.
A highly sophisticated system that integrates laser technology, powerful computers and wall-sized video displays, the WTSS is not just the preserve of new recruits and cadets.
The addition of the M4 rifle to the repertoire means the WTSS can now also be used as a training and practice facility for special forces personnel based in the Canberra area.
Until recently, shooters were limited to the F-88 Austeyr - Australia's locally-built basic infantry weapon.
When you see the two guns that are now available side-by-side, the olive green F-88 is clearly upstaged by the dramatically black and sinister-looking M4, made by Colt in the United States.
If Darth Vader was out shopping you just know he'd pick the American product; it has serious street cred.
Smaller and lighter than the F-88, the SAS-issue M4 has additional ''rails'' that give you a Lego like ability to add on a range of deadly extras.
While I didn't have the opportunity to try the M4, Defence was happy to let me experience the F-88.
All the weapons at the WTSS are real guns that have been reverse engineered with laser emitters and other technology to integrate them into the visual displays.
Kick on the 5.56-millimetre Austeyr is minimal - as is also the case with ''the real thing'' apparently - and the safety briefings and firing techniques are identical to what would be used on a range or in the field with live ammunition.
The principal differences when I ''shot'', as opposed to what a soldier in Afghanistan would experience, were the absence of 40-degree plus temperatures, howling winds loaded with sand and dust particles and, of course, the fact nobody was shooting back.
While wind, fog and snow can all be factored into the target settings, your physical environment remains warm and dry.
My score - and this, like golf, is a game where less is more - simply means that over a distance it would take me almost a minute to run I was able to put 23 hypothetical bullets into an area about the size of a human head.
Kayelle Florent, the former soldier who operates the WTSS for Defence contractor Meggitt, regularly shoots groups of between 130 millimetre and 160 millimetres over 100 metres on the Austeyr.
She says this is an above-average result but not an exceptional one.
''I've found doctors and wind instrument players are generally pretty good [on the simulator],'' Ms Florent said.
The real surprise was that there is a defence lawyer in Canberra, whose name was not divulged, who regularly shoots a special forces-like group of 100 millimetres - the size of a small saucer - over 100 metres. That's not somebody you would want to go up against, either inside or outside the court room.

Gomez: No current threat of flesh-eating bacteria
Guardian Staff Reporter
Published: Oct 12, 2013
The Ministry of Health is not concerned about an outbreak of potentially deadly, flesh-eating bacteria in Florida making its way to The Bahamas, Minister of Health Dr. Perry Gomez said yesterday.
Gomez dismissed a story in the The Tribune newspaper, which said that a patient at a local hospital is being treated for Vibrio Vulnificus, as nothing more than rumor.
He insisted that as far as he is aware The Bahamas has no cases of this particular bacterial infection, which can destroy cell tissue and shut down organs.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, vibrio vulnificus, is a bacterium in the same family as those that cause cholera.
It normally lives in warm seawater. The bacteria can cause disease in those who eat contaminated seafood or have an open wound that is exposed to seawater.
People who are immunocompromised, especially those with chronic liver disease, are more at risk of infection when they eat raw seafood.
Gomez speculated that the organism in Florida may be another bacteria altogether.
"The organism that was said to be in Florida was said to be a vibrio, and to my knowledge the vibrio organisms are not flesh-eating organisms so they must be something else," he said.
"The vibrio organisms tend to cause diarrhea diseases."
At last report, 29 people in Florida were infected. Nine of those people have died.
Asked whether the Ministry of Health has taken any precautionary measures, Gomez said there is no need to.
But Gomez said if someone in The Bahamas becomes infected with the flesh-eating bacteria, he is confident that health officials are capable of controlling it and any potential spread.
He said the ministry has dealt with similar infections in the past.
"Our people, you get problems with lacerations of the leg, and you might be so susceptible and have an unusual organism around but the risk is very, very small," he said.

Flames NewsFlames Home > Men's Soccer Home > News
Liberty Blanks Longwood, 2-0
For the third straight contest, Liberty has shut out its opponent, running its record to 5-1-1 on the year. The Flames have not allowed a score over a period of 346 minutes, dating back to Sept. 13. On the year, Liberty has recorded five shutouts. Longwood drops to 1-6-1.
Neither team was able to get on the scoreboard in the first half. The Lancers and the Flames traded shots, with Liberty holding a 7-5 advantage in shots in the period.
Visiting Longwood put pressure on the Liberty net five minutes into the second half, resulting in two corner kicks. Off the second corner in the 53rd minute, midfielder Chris Saul picked up a rebound off a blocked shot by teammate Josh Woodburn and fired a shot, which hit off the crossbar and bounded clear to keep the match scoreless.
The red-clad Flames broke onto the scoreboard with their first goal of the night at 59:22. Off a free kick, Liberty midfielder Juan Guzman (Sr., Charlotte, N.C.) lifted a pass into the 18-yard box for fellow midfielder Bullock (So., Forest, Va.), who ripped a shot into the far right corner of the net for his fourth goal of the year and a 1-0 Flames advantage.
In the 64th minute, Bullock attempted to extend the Liberty lead with a shot from just inside the penalty area. However, Lancer goalkeeper Joel Helmick made a diving stop of the shot to keep the contest at 1-0.
After a foul inside the 18-yard box in the 66th minute by Longwood, Amoo (R-So., Accra, Ghana) beat Helmick on the ensuing penalty kick with a shot to the lower right-hand corner for a 2-0 Liberty lead. The marker was the seventh on the year for the forward.
From there, the Flames clamped down on defense, allowing only one shot in the remaining minutes, a high attempt by Lancer Devin Pierce, for the shutout.
Liberty held an 18-9 advantage over Longwood in shots on the evening, while the Lancers had an 8-2 edge in corner kicks.
Flames goalkeeper Andrew Madero (Jr., Tampa, Fla.) recorded three saves in the contest, all in the first half. The Liberty keeper, who entered the week second in the nation in goals-against average (GAA), lowered his GAA to 0.15 on the season. Longwood keeper Helmick made four saves in the contest.
Liberty travels to Conway, S.C., Saturday for a Big South match with the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. Match time is scheduled for 1 p.m.

AN arsonist is starting a jail sentence today for a revenge attack that destroyed a house.
Anthony Breadmore, 31, started two fires at the bungalow in Jaywick after he was told the tenant had burgled his home.
The first fire caused little damage but a court heard the second blaze wrecked the house in Meadow Way.
Damage was estimated at more than £80,000 and the owner was later told it would be cheaper to knock down the remains and start again.
Breadmore started the fires after being told the man living in the house - former friend Peter Williams - was responsible for a break-in at Breadmore's home.
"It was a moment of madness to get back at his friend," Breadmore's barrister told Chelmsford Crown Court.
Breadmore was jailed for three and a half years after he admitted last September's arson attack.
Judge Laura Harris told him: "This was purely and simply a revenge attack over your belief your former friend had done this burglary."
The judge added: "It did not justify you behaving in this way."
Mr Williams told police: "I've lost all my worldly possessions because of the fire."
The damage was estimated at £82,000.
Alan Compton, mitigating, said there had been a burglary at Breadmore's home in Sea Way, Jaywick, and he was told Mr Williams was responsible.
"It was a moment of madness to get back at his friend," said Mr Compton.

Purdue Extension's Dairy Digest, a weekly podcast that covers the dairy industry, is now available in Spanish.
Created by Purdue Extension dairy specialists Tamilee Nennich and Mike Schutz, the two-minute digital recordings focus on general dairy practices, updates and animal welfare issues. Nennich said her team wants to use podcasts as a way to get information to producers more quickly.
"This gives producers a chance to get up-to-date on hot topics without having to sit down in their offices," she said. "They can listen while they are working."
As a way to improve and expand the Dairy Digest, a Spanish translation has been added to most of the podcasts. Schutz noted that many Spanish-speaking employees do not have access to as much information as their English-speaking counterparts and farm managers.
"If farm managers find a podcast is particularly useful, they can track it down for their Spanish-speaking employees," he said.
Because the Dairy Digest has a mixed audience, the production team considers the time of year, upcoming conferences and current topics and events when they decide what to record. Some topics are broad while others are focused on production.
"We like to make the podcasts general enough that the public understands them, but also address enough industry-specific needs that dairy producers are able to address important issues," Nennich said.
Nennich and Schutz began producing Dairy Digest during the summer of 2010. All previous podcasts are available on the web at http://www.ansc.purdue.edu/DD/ . They also are available for free download on iTunes.
Schutz hopes producers will give the podcasts a try. He said the information the recordings offer can help producers stay on top of major issues and increase their interest in industry matters.
"I have yet to meet a producer who thinks they know the answers to all of the information," he said. "This is a reliable information source that is convenient for them to listen to on their own time."

sup breh...good times, would do again. appreciate the keeping of the coolness when most people on here flip their shit in those discussions.
Mostly the superficial or less important ones from what I've seen so far, but I can't be arsed to scavenge information about a game I'm likely not going to play anyway (extremely busy this semester).
Still practically no mechanical micro (at least it doesn't seem like they changed anything in that regard), so no Muta micro. The highground advantage was not fixed either, nor was unit clumping. Several of the generic and dull units were not fixed/removed.
Still, they introduced some cool features (collaspable rocks akin to Troy gates from BW), Hydra speed buff, DWeb for Zerg, Zerg positional unit (although bringing back the Lurker would've been so much better). But they had to make some stupid decisions, too. E.g. making the Thor the new "mothership", introducing some generic units or giving Protoss a town portal.
All in all, the expansion seems decent to me, but worse than BW or TFT, both of which were revolutionary. Gonna wait for some gameplay footage.
curious to know what your opinion on HotS is, did they address a lot of the major balance design concerns you had?
Obviously, sAviOr. In terms of pure skill, sAviOr in his prime was much better than BoxeR in his prime, much more well-rounded (BoxeR was good at pretty much just micro at that time). Anyway, BoxeR himself said that at the end of his career he was much better than he was in his prime.
sAviOr in his prime vs BoxeR in his prime, who would win??
Of course. He was the second best Zerg in BW, he woud absolutely rape face in SC2. :P
do you think EffOrt would be the best zerg if he came to sc2 like way better than NesTea?
I did read it. I know you can't help me with everything :p but I'm not really familiar with teamliquid (don't even have an account there).
I'll try to make one as soon as possible and make a thread (?) etc
I just meant I'd obviously like to play versus you a couple of times. I'm not planning on going pro you know :P
It's mainly for some fun and getting to know the game a bit.
Haha, I'm glad you've got hooked. I just passed my last exam, sort of, so I'm gonna have "plenty" of spare time.
Here are some things that are sure gonna spoil you even more:
Little bonus - the definition of getting "Kwanrolled":
dude i've only watched like a couple of replays from sc bw's top players and damn i've already been spoiled, tried to watch some sc2 but got bored so fast.
So many skirmishes, back and forth action, usage of literally every unit in the game, sick unit control

How to Earn a Millionaire Income
How would you like to earn a 7 figure income? I know to most people the idea of making millions sounds impossible, yet there are people all over the world who indeed earn vast incomes, many exceeding the 7 figure mark. And contrary to what many people think about making millions, most of these individuals actually work less, much less, than the rest of the world who works hard and never gets ahead financially. What is the difference between these individuals who earn tons of money a day working part time (or even not working at all) and those who work all the time and still end up broke? It all comes down to the mental state of the individual. When you develop the secrets of the millionaire mind you will realize that earning cash can be done in a whole new light, and you will have the necessary tools to take you to any financial dream that you may have.So just what are the secrets of the millionaire mindset that can take you from financial lack to a earn a 7 figure income? By applying the following principles in your life you will begin doing things in a way that will support your in reaching all of your financial, business, and personal goals.Thinking Big-Do you think that the size of your thinking relates to the size of your income? It definitely does. Small thinking and goal setting may seem safe and easy, but the results will be no larger than the goal itself. People who earn millions of dollars had set that goal for themselves. Had they only set their sites on a 6 figure income, that is where they would have ended up. If you want to earn a 7 figure income, you need to think big and set grand goals.Laughing at Fear-Do you think that it is easy to earn millions? Well, it may not be as difficult as you think, but one thing is for sure; You Must Be Willing to Take Action. When you set a big goal for yourself, sooner or later you will be presented with the opportunity that you need to realize that goal. It may be frightening and intimidating, but don't let that stop you. Millionaires are courageous and act even when they feel fear. They simply feel it and act in spite of it.Get Paid on Results-Do you think that millionaires earn an hourly wage? Most likely not. When you decide to earn a 7 figure income, you need to have the ability and potential to earn that kind of money. When you get paid based on the amount of time you work, your chances of getting rich are not very good. Get into a home based business for yourself, work on commissions, or get paid for the results you attain. Only when you get into a home based business can your income become unlimited.Never Give Up-If wealth came easily and quickly, there would be many more rich people that there are. Most everyone wants wealth, but not everyone is persistent enough to stick with their goals long enough to make it happen. If you truly have the desire to earn a million dollar income, make sure that you are committed fully to the pursuit. Unless you quit you cannot fail.

4800 West 92nd Avenue Westminster, CO 80031
Home | News | News Archives
The city has preserved 245 acres of open space and completed six park and recreation renovation projects using bond funds approved by Westminster voters in 2006.
Westminster residents voted in 2006 to extend the .25 percent open space sales and use tax for an additional 25 years, until 2032, and to authorize the city to bond the proceeds of the tax up to $20 million to accelerate open space acquisitions and park development.
Bonds totaling $20 million were sold at the end of 2007 with $12 million used to accelerate open space acquisitions.
The pace of open space acquisitions will slow considerably now that the bond proceeds have been spent.
Get more information about the open space areas that were preserved and park and recreation renovation projects from 2008-2012 using the bond funds approved by Westminster voters.

Bodies Politic & No Cause for Concern in the Marcus Corvinus series by David Wishart
No Cause for Concern
and the ebook version of
Bodies Politic
are self-pubbed continuations of the Marcus Corvinus historical mystery series by David Wishart – numbers 13 and 14 in the series by my count.
Bodies Politic
was briefly print-published by Plashmill Press (?), but there was some sort of messy situation, and the author somehow managed to get digital rights, and so the ebook is self-pubbed.
Bodies Politic
is a full length novel.
No Cause for Concern
is much shorter - to me it's more of a novella. But it does continue the story line nicely.
This series is a sort of take-it-or-leave-it series – I suspect you're either going to love it or hate it. The main character, Marcus Corvinus, is a sort of wise-cracking Roman from the time of Tiberius onward towards the end of the Julio-Claudians. I like the wise-cracks – I figure there were probably both wise-crackers and poets back then just as there are today. But one of my friends really hated the style. I also love the descriptions of the places and times – when we visited Rome a few years ago, I felt like I already knew my way around.
There are two sorts of books in the series – some are very political (
) and some are more light-hearted (
Food for the Fishes
A Vote for Murder
– the scene with Dassa the sheep at the end of
is IMO priceless). I slightly prefer the political ones, but overall like them all a lot.
Now, about the self-pubbed ones. I liked both of these, aside from the fact that
No Cause for Concern
is pretty short. I felt they both ran true to the form of the previous books in the series. I noticed a few typos, but I've noticed a few typos in e-books by major publishers too. The writing didn't feel noticeably looser, and Corvinus and others retain their same characters.
If you haven't read any of the earlier ones in the series, I suggest you start with the beginning (
) and see if you like the style, which is quite distinctive. If you have read some in the series, and liked them, you'll probably like the self-pubbed ones. And, of course, the converse is true too – if you didn't like others in the series, you probably won't like these.
And, just as an aside, I took a look at the author's website, and he has announced that he has signed with Severn House to do two more books in the series, with the next,
Solid Citizens
, coming out in October 2013. So these may be the only self-pubbed ones in the series for a while.

Week three
Day 22: Friday 13 June
That's it, Sissy's out! Nush and Tania will be pleased, seeing as they reckon she's really cold anyway.
But Sissy herself was not too chuffed about being the one to go.
Jon surely can't be far behind, what with being constantly nominated?
But then it's BB so who knows?!
Ooh! The housemates have been gossiping about each other. Some of it's good, but some of it's bad.
On the one hand Nush admitted she was sorry she'd nominated Jon, and wished he wasn't up for eviction. She told BB he was a "nice guy" and he never gets moody.
But just hours later, Nush and Tania went on a moan-fest about Sissy saying she was "cold" towards them.
Federico's not been making himself popular with girl viewers. He said northern girls were ugly. But Gos and Ray soon put him in his place.
The gang have also held their own mini Olympics. They set up games and challenges with the equipment BB gave them, and painted their own artwork.
They all had nicknames too, like Nush the Tush and Steph Da Tooth Fairy.
Ray's been upset cos he's missing the chickens, who were taken out of the house cos of a mystery virus. He asked BB to give them a pig instead.
Day 21: Thursday 12 June
It's Big Brother Olympics time in the house!
The housemates asked BB for loads of sports equipment which they got.
So watch out for Thumb War, Chair Bungie, Paper Scissors Stone and Spinning Stick.
Not your usual Olympic events but it might keep them out of trouble for a while.
Then again...
Having failed three tasks in a row the housemates are blaming Big Brother for their lack of food.
They reckon that because they weren't allowed to practice with working bells it wasn't fair.
Sissy said to Jon "it was like having to learn to mix like a DJ without any records".
Being in a house without any TV isn't a problem for Jon since he rarely watched it when he was little.
He said he never watched the telly from the ages of five to 15 because he was always reading a book.
Even though they failed Big Brother gave them loads of booze to drink, but then told them off because they were making too much noise.
The racket even went on after they went to bed.
Cameron said Jon had been making loads of noise in his sleep.
So Jon revealed today that he'd had a nightmare.
Apparently, he was in a factory sticking labels on boxes, but he didn't have enough time.
He knew if only he had a minute to spare, he'd figure out a better way to do it.
There was another worker there, who had plenty of time, but wouldn't help him.
Sounds like he's still sore over losing the bell task...
Day 20: Wednesday 11 June
The housemates have failed their task yet again!
They had to guess a mystery tune and then remember it and try and play it on handbells.
But they kept messing it up which means they haven't managed to complete any of their weekly tasks.
And because they bet loads of their shopping budget on the task, they've not got much left for food! D'oh!
Tania has been trying to make Sissy feel better after the designer was nominated for the boot this weekend. What Tania forgot to mention was she nominated Sissy in the first place!
But she still told her to stay cheerful and get lots of sleep before the nominations on Friday.
Despite Sissy's blubbing Tania said the days would fly by and reminded her there was still a task to do.
Meanwhile, Steph cut Federico's hair and gave Cameron a trim while she was at it.
Day 19: Tuesday 10 June
Big news in the house today, as the nominations were announced.
Sissy is already the fave to be booted out on Friday. She's been having a few rows this week and has got on some people's nerves.
She's already made Nush cry over her comments about using too many teabags.
In other house goss, Tania said Cameron was starting to get on her nerves after he burst into the girls' bedroom without knocking.
She had a moan to Nush about him shortly afterwards.
Earlier, the nominations announcement was the biggest part of the day.
When Big Brother told the house they had 30 minutes warning, loads of them were still in bed.
But when the time came, all 10 were sat quietly on the sofas.
The three nominees were announced in alphabetical order.
The relief on Cameron's face was huge as Federico was first.
Jon was selected for a third week running, and grumpy Sissy was the third housemate whose fate is in the hands of the nation.
While the boys didn't seem too bothered, Sissy went to her bedroom on her own to have a think.
Fed tried to liven up the atmosphere by playing a bit of a practical joke on Ray.
He told him he had a trick to show him, and taking two glasses of water, put them on top of Ray's hands, which were stretched out on the table.
Then he walked away, leaving the Irishman trapped!
But Ray had a few tricks of his own, and managed to get free by lifting the glasses up with his mouth with out spilling the water!
Let's hope everyone stays a little happier.
Day 18: Monday 9 June
The housemates gave their nominations in the diary room, and all looked a bit worried.
Nush was miffed 'cos she said BB wouldn't accept her two nominations.
Then there was a bit of a male-female divide as the boys gathered in the kitchen and the girls sneaked off to their bedroom for a chat.
And Nush seemed to think something's up. The gal, who seems to fancy herself as a bit of a fortune-teller, said she had a bad vibe that something was going to "kick off". She reckons something bad's going to happen.
Earlier, having seen the group gamble 65% of their budget on the bell-ringing task, Jon was in no mood to let the group fail.
He offered loads of advice to the group to help them learn the order they had to ring the bells in, but they just didn't want to know.
Things got quite heated for a while, making it look more and more like Jon will be nominated for a third time.
The housemates were up late on Sunday, worrying about the task and talking things through.
Sissy and Nush cleared the air after a day when they both thought the other had said nasty things.
Sissy thought Nush had a go at her for using too many teabags, while Nush thought Sissy didn't like the food she cooked.
But once they'd dried their tears, they made up and are friends again.
Day 17: Sunday 8 June
After the excitement of last night - when seven of the housemates were treated to a children's party - it was back to reality with a bump today.
The group were set their weekly task - it involves handbells.
They found out they must memorise a mystery piece of music and then perform it with the bells on Wednesday.
After losing the two previous tasks due to Federico's slip-ups, the group got into a heated debate about how much to gamble on them completing the task.
Well, except Gos - he looked like he was going fall asleep.
After 20 minutes, they decided to gamble 65% on the success of their task. If they fail, they'll have just �3.60 each to spend on food.
Earlier in the day, Ray apologised to Tania, who was upset because he made a "rude" remark to her.
"I thought you'd laugh. I was only joking," he said, giving Tania a hug.
Day 16: Saturday 7 June
Food is on everyone's lips today - but the housemates are still going hungry.
Jon appears to be losing popularity with other housemates by suggesting the girls are eating more of the food rations and dipping into the fridge when no ones looking.
But the girls are angry because the boys have appointed Gos as Bread Monitor - he's looking after the loaves in the boys bedroom.
Nush thinks the boys are being patronising.
After Justine's eviction last night no one has really mentioned her.
The girls were shocked - there are now only four women left in the house and they could be feeling scared they might be voted out next.

Regardless that it's true that some stongly favored meals can change the style of your milk, many infants appear to enjoy the sorts of breast milk flavors. Sometimes, your child might get cranky on the breast after you eat certain foods. If you discover this happening, simply avoid that particular food.
The most common offenders duing breast feeding embrace chocolate, spices, citrus fruits, garlic, chili, lime, gassy vegetables, and fruits with laxative kind effects, similar to prunes and cherries.
You possibly can have a cup or two of espresso a day, although an excessive amount of caffeine can interfere along with your child's sleep and even make her or him cranky. Keep in thoughts, caffeine is discovered in lots of soda's, tea, and even over-the-counter type medication as well.
It's okay to have an alcoholic beverage each now and the, though having more than one drink can enhance your blood alcohol degree, placing the alcohol into your breast milk.
If you are planning to have more than one drink at a time, it's best to attend two hours or extra per drink earlier than you resume any type of nursing or breast feeding. There isn't any have to pump and dump unless your breasts are full and its time to feed your baby. While breast feeding, any kind of heavy consuming needs to be avoided.

General News of Thursday, 13 September 2012
Source: peacefmonline
The Oda River which is treated and supplied to residents of Obuasi and its surrounding areas has been polluted as a result of illegal mining activities in the area.
The water has some amounts of particles and oil, which makes it harmful for human consumption even though there is no alternative potable water supply for the inhabitants.
Nana Ponkor Ababio, Odikro of Kunka in Obuasi, who doubles as the Abadiekyiere of Adansi Dompoase Traditional Area, raised the concern during the final sitting of the Obuasi Municipal Assembly on Friday.
They called for the immediate provision of alternative potable water for the people.The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), John Alexander Ackon, in his sessional address, reiterated the commitment of Assembly in addressing with the problem.
He also called for collaboration among stakeholders to address the rampant pollution of water bodies in the municipality.Mr. Ackon said his outfit had made efforts to boost revenue collection.He stated that the overall estimated budget for 2012 amounted to GH¢2, 441,164.00 as against an expected revenue of GH¢1,424,012.33.
"By 30th June 12, we had collected GH¢ 1,273,286.08, representing 52 percent of the annual target and 89.4 percent of the January to June target," he noted.The development, according to him, was largely due to measures put in place by the Assembly within the brief period.
The MCE suggested the adoption of pragmatic strategies to sustain improved revenue collection.The MCE Ackon said the District Development Facility Projects (DDFs) had immensely benefitted the Assembly since it was used to make up for the shortfalls in the District Assemblies' Common Fund receipts.
He mentioned the construction of sheds for recreational grounds at Obuasi Zongo, supply of electricity to Palm Kennel Processing Centre at Baakoyeden, construction of reinforced concrete bridge at Mampamhwe and construction of phase-one OPD at Kunka as some of the projects under the DDF.
He said during the period under review, Project Cure, an International Relief Organization, donated medical equipment and supplies to the tune of $40,000.

Normally around this time the San Diego Music Awards announces their list of nominees, but I guess this year they decided to skip the drama and just hand out the Artist of the Year award for 2013 to Slightly Stoopid for the 18th consecutive year. I know, for me, Slightly Stoopid is essentially synonymous with the San Diego Music Awards, and hey, what better band to put forward as our national representative (that is as long as Switchfoot stays dormant.) Slightly Stoopid is a very popular band that likes to sing about smoking marijuana and partying, and they self release their own music- which is very DIY.
They are from Ocean Beach, and have 10 million last fm plays. That's almost as many as Wavves! Anyway, I'd like to offer my congratulations to Slightly Stoopid for winning Artist of the Year at the 2013 San Diego Music Awards for the 20th consecutive year. It makes me so PROUD to be a part of the San Diego music community!
Keep up the good work over there, guys (and gals?)

Ethel Gintoft, the first women to head the Catholic Press Association, died Wednesday at the age of 83. She was a bright and caring journalist and an esteemed colleague. For years she stood out as editor of the Catholic Herald, the Milwaukee archdiocesan newspaper, both because she maintained a highly professional publication and because it was still unusual for a women to hold such a post within the Catholic press.
Gintoft was successful, in large part, because she had the ear and trust of Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland who understood and respected independent journalism. He left it up to Gintoft to edit the Herald and she kept it as one among the very best of the diocesan newspapers in the Catholic press.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/9/2009 (2884 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
All these years that I've written about issues involving substitute teachers, and nary a syllable did I ever hear about school divisions somewhat regularly using unqualified non-teachers as substitute classroom staff.
So, of course, I eagerly turned to my story in the Free Press last week to learn what I'd written when first this came to light in our paper, particularly with its connection to H1N1 and an anticipated greater need for subs this year.
There were 269 non-teachers in Manitoba who worked at least 20 days supervising a classroom in a Manitoba school division in 2008-2009, having been issued a limited teaching permit by the department of education. Untold numbers worked fewer than 20 days and did not require provincial approval.
This year, the cutoff for needing to run these unqualified people past the province is 10 days.
They can only be used after every certified teacher on a division's substitute list has been tried and is unavailable — in rural Manitoba, substitutes are pretty much all retired teachers; very few education grads live in small towns waiting for a job opening — and they must pass a criminal background check. First call is to people with higher education and some experience with children.
It's almost entirely a rural issue. City divisions obtain a handful of the permits for vocational specialists who have decades of trades experience and are working on their education degrees, or high-demand education grads in areas such as French immersion, who haven't yet been certified as teachers.
What Education Minister Peter Bjornson really didn't answer, and his department appears not to have studied, is the educational impact on students of having someone substituting who does not have the teaching credentials to teach the class.
I was thinking that I could get a gig like this, and could probably handle a high school history class or world issues class, or social studies in younger grades, for a day or two and not do too much damage, but subbing for pre-cal or physics or art, I'd be babysitting and hoping the kids could work on their own.
Why didn't I ever hear about the existence of such permits when writing about substitutes?
Maybe you recall that when the Doer government moved the first day of school to the day after Labour Day, it was the Manitoba School Boards Association that was a lonely voice decrying the move, saying that it would cost students several vital instructional days and make it impossible for teachers to cover the entire curriculum. Yet, have trustees ever made a fuss about having unqualified adults at the head of a classroom?
And those with longer memories may recall when teachers in several city divisions — Jewish teachers at that time, though the principle has since expanded to many faith groups — fought in court for years to have paid days off when their holy days fell on school days. And Winnipeg School Division, in its infinite wisdom, had senior staff file affadavits saying that any school day with a substitute was a wasted day for students.
And WSD was talking about certified, qualified teachers as substitute teachers.
Meanwhile, speaking of teachers, and as someone who is a major fan of licenced, non-profit child care centres, I must clarify what I said last week about Ontario's full-day kindergarten next fall.
The McGuinty government, it turns out, planned to have teachers for half a day and early childhood educators the other half, but under pressure from teachers now plans to have teachers for the entire school day.
When Ontario announced full-day kindergarten packaged with province-wide child care, I'd assumed the kindergarten class would have a teacher from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and early childhood educators for before-and-after in-school care.
And staying with education........
Someone I know was flogging chocolate bars at three bucks apiece to raise funds for his kid's school in Winnipeg School Division.
I'd thought the nutrition policy covered this, and that the division's ban on junk food in cafeterias and vending machines extended to fundraising.
Here's what the ubiquitous unnamed division official had to say:
"All groups (e.g. patrols, band, sports teams and student and parent councils) will be encouraged to raise funds by selling non-food items or healthy food and beverage choices if they choose this option for fund-raising.
"Here is the link to the policy: http://ww.wsd1.org/board/policies_pdf/policy_IGAEA.pdf"
And another segue, done so seamlessly and flawlessly that you'll never notice my short attention span.....
Here's another reason why I don't have a career ahead of me in marketing or business management.
Certain university student I know requested a subscription to a print publication renowned for decades for its coverage of world geography and sensitive environmental issues. And nifty colour photos and maps.
I went to the website and found the subscription form. But the little box for address would accept and accommodate only a street address; it refused to accept the name of the college to whose residence mail would be delivered, and the name of the university, although both are part of the mailing address.
So I phone the toll-free number, and after being on hold get a guy who's not sure he wants to deal with me, because I don't have a membership number. Eventually, he tells me that he can only accept a subscription by writing down by hand the same amount of information the website would handle, so I'm out of luck.
After I persist, he offers to transfer me up the ladder to an account specialist.
Back on hold.
The account specialist too wants all kinds of personal information about me, before confiding and revealing that the publication uses a maximum mailing label of four lines. She balks at taking the amount of information necessary, even after I've raised the possibility that this is not the first subscription in history going to a student living in residence at a North American university. Do all Americans talk really slowly when they're trying to get through to a really dim foreigner who can't seem to understand corporate rules and procedures but in our ignorance are trying to give money to the free enterpise system in exchange for goods and services?
Anyway, she finally agrees to try typing into the system — we get the student on one line, the college and university names on the second, the street address on the third, and the city and province and postal code on the fourth. I nearly sabotaged the whole thing by saying "zed", which, fortunately, she was able to translate into American.
And several firsts for me as the playoffs come to a conclusion with championship weekend ahead.
First time I've ever had to tell a coach he's not allowed to smoke at the players' bench.
And in another match, first time I've ever had to tell a parent to leave the park. I'd given his kid a yellow card after the kid collided with the opposition keeper and they went down in a heap, and as the keeper gathered in the ball, this kid gave the keeper a little gratuitous jab with his heel, then got up screaming at me when he saw I'd awarded a free kick the other way. That got the father bellowing at me from the sidelines, and teammates telling this kid to tell his dad to knock it off.
In retrospect, yes, the father may well have had a point that his kid didn't deserve a yellow — he may have deserved a red.
Anyway, at halftime, this father comes over to the team's bench, then starts yelling at me, "Open your eyes, ref!" over and over again, while angrily pointing two fingers at his eyes. I told him that he was to leave the park, that he could watch the match from the parking lot. Still livid, he gave me the finger, and finally left.
It's the first time since switching from coaching to refereeing that I was unsure I'd be able to go to my car safely after the match. However, that team's coaches, who were pretty unhappy with my performance otherwise, stayed around after the match to ensure that I got to my car OK.
I also carded two players on the winning team for dissent and could have carded more had they not been far more loquacious behind my back than when facing me. You hear an older teenager say behind you, "He's the only one in the park who doesn't know that everyone's laughing at him," and I'm thinking, I came in early from the lake for this?

India on Thursday also begun enforcing a six-month ban on the import of livestock from Pakistan and other countries affected by the disease.
The moves come after Pakistan ordered the killing of millions of chickens.
Thailand and Vietnam this month recorded the first human deaths linked to the bird flu epidemic.
"We have completely banned import of poultry food from any country," Health Minister Sushma Swaraj announced on Thursday.
She added that an alert had been declared in states bordering Pakistan as well as those in the north-east of the country.
"Red alert has been declared particularly in Punjab because of the Samjhauta Express [train] which comes from Pakistan and bird flu cases have been reported there," she said.
A six month ban that came into force on Thursday prohibits the import of domestic and wild birds, eggs and other livestock products from those countries that have reported cases of bird flu.
Pakistan's strain of bird flu is said to pose less threat to humans than the one detected in South-East Asia.
The Indian Government has also ordered health officials to screen people arriving from countries affected by bird flu.
Cull opposition
News this week that the flu was detected among chickens near the Pakistani city of Karachi has already caused a steep fall in poultry prices in Pakistan.
Experts say millions of animals in the Karachi area are infected - but province officials have opposed a cull.
Pakistan's cabinet has imposed a ban on the import of chicken from countries hit by the disease.
It has also prohibited chicken from being transported for sale between provinces within Pakistan.
"These measures have been taken to avoid the spread of bird flu that has infected chicken birds in Karachi and adjoining areas," said an official statement quoted by Pakistan's state-owned APP news agency on Wednesday.
Pakistan's poultry industry is reeling from the outbreak, with the bulk price of chicken having fallen by as much as 60% in the last 10 days.
No compensation has been announced for the chicken cull.
Since November, between 1.5 million and 3.5 million chickens have died in Sindh province, but authorities there say only a few thousand were from avian flu.
Preventative measures
Meanwhile, Bangladeshi officials have ordered an investigation into the deaths of more than 30,000 chickens within the past week.
Farmers say the animals died after a vaccination programme and officials have maintained the country is free of bird flu.
Bangladesh responded to the outbreak last week by banning the import of live chickens from a number of countries in South-East Asia.
Sri Lanka has also banned imports of poultry products from all Asian countries in an attempt to stop the spread of bird flu.
The ban, effective immediately, covers imports of live and processed poultry, eggs and egg products.
Sri Lankan officials have also advised poultry farmers to stop people who have travelled in bird flu-hit regions from entering their farms.

Just try to keep it cannon and don't use words like recently in article context.

Kantar: T-Mobile accounted for over 13% of all smartphones sold in the U.S. from June through August
0. phoneArena posted on 01 Oct 2013, 12:38
Led by a CEO who would rather break the mold than comfortably fit in one, Kantar Worldpanel's data reveals that T-Mobile reversed a year-on-year decline in smartphone sales from June through August; during that period, the nation's fourth largest carrier accounted for 13.2% of smartphone sales in the U.S., a gain of 1.1 percentage points...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

There is something about T-Mobile that is kinda calling my name and I don't know why.
9. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1291; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
You like being with a last place carrier, and dare to be different
2. tomn1ce (Posts: 229; Member since: 12 Mar 2012)
I noticed during that same period tmobile was offering many of their top of the line phones with zero down but at the same time they increased the monthly payment up to $25-27 or somewhere around that price range.
3. JunitoNH (Posts: 1934; Member since: 15 Feb 2012)
If T-Mobile manages to improve their coverage, there's no reason for them not to over take Sprint and AT&T.
5. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
A couple months ago outside of my city it was only 2G, if I go out there now its 4g/4g LTE everywhere. It needs improvement but they are currently improving it.
7. promise7 (Posts: 891; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
I can see them taking over Sprint for third, but I doubt they'll ever reach AT&T and Verizon numbers.
8. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1291; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
If you see that happening you better get those bifocals strengthened....check their coverage map and this time use a magnifying glass to assist those faulty bifocals you are wearing
4. mikel45365 (Posts: 10; Member since: 07 Feb 2009)
how is this news...they are the 4th smallest carrier and had the fourth smallest percentage...seems like they are just keeping pace

Book Review: 'Live! Laugh! Panic! Life with My Mother' by Rosemary Mild
Published 10:00 pm, Tuesday, May 13, 2014
We all have unique relationships with our mothers. Sometimes we adore them and sometimes they drive us crazy, but there is nobody quite like your Mum.
Rosemary Mild sat down to write an autobiography and discovered that her pages were less about her and more about her mother, Luby Pollack. Thinking things through she realized that maybe she should record her memories of life with this extraordinary woman.
I was excited to read Mild's account of her mother. Her anecdotes cascade through the pages of her book, glistening with affection and admiration. Her enthusiasm and desire to share her mother with the reader is touching in its sincerity and child-like in its trust. To share intimate family stories with the unknown reader takes courage and I am reluctant to judge such genuine generosity.
However, I have to say that whilst interesting and touching, a true portrait of family life in Milwaukee in the 1950's, I found this book quite difficult to enjoy. The content of the book - anecdotes about Mild's mother, but also other family members such as her father and brother, John - is fascinating, but the structure, the waterfall effect of stories tumbling towards the reader, creates chaos. There is no logical timeline and the tales are offered in what appears a random procession. This makes the book difficult to follow and very "staccato" in its effect. There is no cohesive link to the anecdotes and this lack of literary glue makes uncomfortable reading.
Perhaps if we were sitting having a coffee and Mild joined us then we would be fascinated by her stories, but in written form they somehow lose some of their warmth.
I hate to write a negative review, but this book, if I am honest, held much promise and yet somehow missed the mark. I think, as I have said, that the structure let it down, for the content was interesting and written with obvious love and affection.

If one could run without getting tired, I don't think one would often want to do anything else. - C.S. Lewis
Okay, masters, time for the monthly miles recap! Hope it's been a good month for everyone. Post your running, biking, swimming, walking, hiking, and/or skipping miles, and any PRs or other notable achievements. Awards as usual for most miles, fewest miles, average, median, cool totals, and prime numbers. I always look forward to everyone's posts!
Centennial Cone Park, Colorado
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
Beautiful trail photo as always, Carolyn, and probably one I could actually run on, since it's nice and flat there!
I think I win the award for first poster in the thread, though not anything else....
August = 157.7 miles
YTD = 1034.9 miles
Thanks once again!
who says life doesn't have a soundtrack?
August 550 miles
August included my 1st 5k run since 2007 (?) in 18:27 - Man did that hurt the whole way
It also included a dramatic taper to prepare for the 24 hour race this weekend - It's time to make a big withdrawl on that training and blow it all in the next 48 hours.
7/20/17 #247 Comeback #19 ... 10/8 - Glacial Trail 50M
Consistently Slow
76.8 miles.
Run until the trail runs out.
The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff
August 550 miles
I'm almost embarrassed to post this after seeing what DoppleBock's totals are but - as my 8 year-old nephew always says "Aunt Jeanne, you get what you get and you don't have a fit."
August 140.3
Highest monthly total since last April is all I got for awards this month.
Thanks again, oh great master of the totals. Beautiful picture too!
Shirtless wonder
August - 164.4 miles
2 AG awards: 3rd in 5K, 2nd in 15K.
Nulla camisia et nulla problematum
Mr. Chip & Mizz Rizzo
53 miles for me .... a little short of DoppleBock's!
"My sunshine doesn't come from the skies,It comes from the love in my dog's eyes."
Beautiful trail photo as always, Carolyn, and probably one I could actually run on, since it's nice and flat there!
OM, that trail is nowhere near flat! Here's the elevation profile from that run. I think that picture was taken at about mile 2.4 on the little tiny flat part. But you could certainly run on it anyway! It's much more runnable than some parts of the trail I took you on.
I ran 200.5 miles in August, my 2nd highest month ever. I considered doing a short run this morning because I only needed 1.8 miles to set a new record, but decided I really need to start tapering at some point for this darn marathon on Monday... so I'm taking a rest day. I slept an extra hour this morning instead.
ETA: a highlight for the month was meeting Tramps and Tribee!
181.9 miles (after tonight's run )
three 5k races
one Mile race (PR - 80% age graded)
Running is stupid
Love the C.S. Lewis quote.
And so it goes
Thanks wildchild.
August running: 136 miles
YTD: 896.7 miles
2 races in August 1AG in both: 2 mile run (PR, first time at this distance) and a 5K
cycling: 109 miles
swimming: 13.4 miles
Go DB
212.6 for August, just under 6 miles shy of the highest mileage month in a year. As it is, it's the second highest. After the June and July I had, I'm very happy with this, and the fact that I feel pretty good.
1354.3 for 2012 YTD, and ahead of the 2k pace bunny once again! Yay!
112.1 miles for August, a 12% increase from July, so I'll take it. I am hoping to increase by 10 miles per month until I am maxed out.
Go DoppleBock!!!
"During a marathon, I run about two-thirds of the time. That's plenty." - Margaret Davis, 85 Ed Whitlock regarding his 2:54:48 marathon at age 73, "That was a good day. It was never a struggle."
Only 53.3 running miles in August 601.7 miles YTD
However I did have over 700 miles bike miles in August
Courage ! Do one brave thing today...then run like hell.
73 miles for Aug
769 miles for the year to date
Thanks wild

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are from French Women Don't Get Fat by Mireille Guiliano.
I didn't much care for fish when I was growing up, but I loved nuts. My mother knew both were essential for good nutrition, so she invented this way of slipping in the fish.
- Yield
- Serves 4
- 1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 snapper fillets (monkfish, halibut, or cod works, too), with skin, about 4 ounces each
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
- 1. In a nonstick frying pan, toast the almonds over medium heat. Set aside.
- 2. Warm the olive oil and butter in the frying pan. Add the snapper skin-side up. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the fish to a warm serving plate and cover loosely with foil.
- 3. Add the lemon juice to the pan and whisk to blend with the pan juices. Pour over fillets, add the chopped parsley, and sprinkle with the toasted almonds. Serve immediately.

Steelers' Mendenhall candid about life, past and present
Rookie Rashard Mendenhall, the first running back selected by the Steelers in the first round of the NFL Draft in 19 years, sat down for a chat with the Trib's John Harris:
Q: What is the ideal number of carries for you to get in a game• How many is too many?
A: I'll take 10 with 150 yards -- 15 yards a carry. The least carries with the most yards. Not really (too many carries). Whatever the game permits.
Q: Three traits you'd love to borrow from other running backs?
A: The speed of 'Fast' Willie (Parker). LaDainian Tomlinson's feet. Brian Westbrook's elusiveness.
Q: On May 5, 2008, while walking in Chicago, you were robbed at gunpoint. Fortunately, you were not hurt. What did you learn from that incident?
A: I don't really think about it too much. I think that in itself, that was just a learning experience. You've got to be more conscious of where you are being in the NFL now. People don't see you as the same, so you've got to be conscious of what's going on.
Q: What criticism about you is most unfair?
A: I don't really trip on media criticism. The people around me, that's the thing I pay attention to and keep track of. Your coaches and players, what they say about you, that means something.
Q: You are not a big fan of (Illinois coach) Ron Zook. Why?
A: I don't have anything against him. That was just my experience in college. I don't have any problems with him.
Q: Your first two years at Illinois you didn't start. You thought about transferring but your brother, Walter, helped influence you to stay. What did he say, and are you glad you stayed?
A: I didn't think about transferring. I was at a point where I wasn't sure if I wanted to play or not. It wasn't like I couldn't handle anything, but with all the stuff that was going on, I felt like if this is what football is, I don't want to have a part of it, I don't want this to be my life if this is what it is.
Q: Walter then transferred to Illinois State from Illinois• Did you agree with his decision?
A: He was kind of pushed into it, but I thought he made a good decision.
Q: What was it like to reach the Rose Bowl?
A: It was cool. To be in California for a week with your teammates, everything like that, it was a fun time.
Q: What was recruiting like•
A: I didn't really go through too much of a recruiting process. I committed to Illinois before my junior season.
Q: What was your proudest moment as an athlete?
A: Probably in track at an indoor state meet my junior year in high school. They invited the top 12 guys in every event. I was there for the 50 and the 200, and I was slated at No. 12 in both of them. I won both of them, and I got MVP of the meet.
Q: What was your most bitter defeat?
A: My junior year in high school, our football team lost in the first round of the playoffs.
Q: You played high school basketball. If you concentrated only on basketball, how far would you have gone?
A: As far as high school basketball, that's about it. I wasn't going anywhere after that.
Q: Most annoying thing is?
A: People who aren't honest or straightforward.
Q: What was you most humbling experience?
A: It was in high school -- the first time I pulled my hamstring my junior year. Up until that point, I was the man. From my sophomore to junior year, I never lost a 100-yard race until that day. As soon as that happened, the next meet this guy on our team ran a fast time, and everybody completely forgot about me. After all I did, people completely forgot about me. From then on, I was like all this is short-lived. Whatever I do today, as soon as it's gone, it's not going to be like that. So that's been my attitude.
Q: Boyhood idol?
A: I didn't really have an idol coming up. Probably my brother.
Q: Best Christmas present?
A: Everybody had those little army men, the green and brown ones. I had the planes and tanks with it, that whole set-up.
Q: Three dinner guests?
A: Terry Crews -- he played Damon on 'Friday After Next.' I'd go to dinner with him and the creator of the Boondocks cartoon (Aaron McGruder). And probably Corinne Bailey Rae (English singer, songwriter and guitarist).
Q: Favorite new song?
A: That's tough. I listen to mostly older songs.
Q: Favorite old song?
A: Anything by the the Isley Brothers.
Q: Favorite book?
A: I just finished a book I really like -- Raising Fences by Michael Datcher. That was a real cool book. I write, and a lot of the book was poetry. Just the poetic feel of it.
Q: You have to move to a new house and buy all new stuff. What three things from your old house would you want to bring?
A: My PlayStation 3. My notebook where I write. And my CD collection. I write a lot of things. I write poems, the spoken word, I write songs. That's what I do outside of here is just relax.
Q: If you could get God to answer one question, what would it be?
A: Is he going to let me in heaven.
Q: Something people are surprised to learn about you?
A: My nature outside of football. I'm real chilled as far as writing, reading. I love learning, conversation, picking up anything I don't know. That's what I'm into.
Q: What question would you like to ask the media?
A: Do they ever feel bad about the stuff they say and write that they know isn't right?
