ASK A QUESTION A-Z People who made history - Key dates
Hi everybody, I was thinking about a new idea for an A-Z game today and I came across this idea!
The idea of this game is to write names of important people in the history like: inventors, and also providing some important dates like : the 4th of July with describing or saying one thing which made this person or date important in one word
Game rules:-
- Follow in alphabetical order
- Please include the English translation for each word. .
- Don't forget to click on NEWEST to see the last letter.
- It would be nice if you posted a PICTURE
- You don't have to include a sentence.
I'll start with: Anne Frank - Diary = diario
Have fun

L ...Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He successfully led the country through its greatest constitutional, military and moral crisis—the American Civil War--by preserving the Union by force while ending slavery and promoting economic modernization. Reared in a poor family on the western frontier, he was mostly self-educated. He became a country lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, and a one-term member of the United States House of Representatives, but failed in two attempts at a seat in the United States Senate. He was an affectionate, though often absent, husband, and father of four children.

OMAHA, Neb. – Junior transfer Brandon Williamson was the lone West Virginia University wrestler to advance in the championship bracket through session I at the 2010 NCAA Wrestling Championships, held at the Qwest Center.
Williamson, who is unseeded, took on No. 7 seed Jarod Trice of Central Michigan at heavyweight. The two circled the mat through the first period with neither wrestler earning a point. In the second, Williamson chose the down position and Trice accumulated all two minutes in riding time. In the third, it was Trice who chose the defensive position, and Williamson was able to maintain control and bring Trice's riding time down to 59 seconds before the Central Michigan wrestler broke free. Williamson, down 1-0, got in deep on a single and was able to take Trice down and flip him on his back for the pin at the 6:59 mark.
Williamson improves his record to 19-7 overall, earning his first victory at the Division I national championships. The Riverside, Conn., native was a two-time junior college All-American, winning the national title in 2008.
Williamson will wrestle Oklahoma's Nathan Fernandez tonight, with the winner advancing to the quarterfinals on Friday.
Redshirt senior Donnie Jones was also slated against the No. 7 seed at his weight class, facing Ryan Morningstar of Iowa in a 165-pound bout. After going scoreless through the first, Jones chose down in the second and was able to score a reversal for the 2-0 lead. Morningstar escaped before the end of the period and went into the third trailing, 2-1. He tied it at two apiece with an escape after starting from the down position, sending the match into sudden victory. Jones came out of the gate aggressive, getting in deep on a single before the referee questionably called a stalemate. Moments later, Morningstar was in deep and was able to score the winning takedown.
Jones will wrestle later today against the winner of the pigtail match, featuring Michigan State's Kyle Bounds and Rider's Rob Morrison. Jones defeated Bounds in a dual this season, 5-3.
Freshman Shane Young started the day for the Mountaineers at 125 pounds. Cal-State Bakersfield's Frank Lomas opened the scoring in the first with a takedown, while tacking on 2:45 in riding time. Lomas increased his lead to 3-0, entering the final period. Young elected neutral in the third and scored on a takedown to the cut deficit to one. Lomas, however, escaped and tacked on a late takedown for the 7-2 victory.
Young, also wrestling later today, is slated to face Princeton's Garrett Frey, who lost to top-seed Angel Escobedo of Indiana.
Session II will begin tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET.
125 pounds:
Frank Lomas (Cal-State Bakersfield) dec. Shane Young (WVU), 7-2
Shane Young (WVU) vs. Garrett Frey (Princeton)
165 pounds:
#7 seed Ryan Morningstar (Iowa) dec. Donnie Jones (WVU), 4-2 (SV)
Donnie Jones (WVU) vs. Kyle Bounds (Michigan State)/Rob Morrison (Rider)
Brandon Williamson (WVU) pinned #7 seed Jarod Trice (Central Michigan), 6:13

LG ARENA KM900 ReviewLG ARENA
When it comes to the phonebook of the LG ARENA KM900, a huge leap ahead has been made that the change brought tears to our eyes. Wait, wait, perhaps it´s to do with hay-fever and blossoming trees. Anyway. What´s most important here is that adding contacts no longer feels like a Middle Ages torture. You can see more info fields on the screen, moving up and down between them is adequate, you just need to get used to minimizing the keyboard if you want to go ahead. We hit the go back icon several times ending up losing all information entered.
Searching in your contacts is performed by both parts of the name. Entering digits in the dial pad filters your contacts as well, say 6-3-6 leads to Neo and to the telephone numbers that contain these digits. The only thing we miss is an alphabet column to allow us to quickly navigate up or down through the contact list, the way it´s done on the iPhone or the Samsung Pixon.
As a whole, the organizer of th LG ARENA KM900 is among the most beautiful we have ever seen, but fails to offer more functionality than the competition and its applications are simplified. Let´s start up with the alarm clock. You can set up several different alarms, each of them with its own melody and recurrence pattern. The most appealing thing here is the way you do the setting itself – through a digital or analog clock with its background indicating whether the time you´ve entered is AM or PM. Two rollers appear in digital clock mode that can be turned separately. Well, this is far from being the fastest way to set up specific times, but still it´s quite spectacular. You will see something suchlike when setting the correct date, but you´d have to use three different rollers there. The quick alarm option allows you to set up an alarm clock reminder about something that´ll happen within the next hour.
Calendar (named organizer) can be viewed in a variety of modes – whole month, week, timetable (showing you the events on a specific date and their time allocation), just a list or all scheduled events. You can add a detailed schedule, tasks or mark specific days as bank holidays. We do feel like marking the whole coming week as one and make it off to Hawaii, but we need to go on and finish telling you about the organizer functions of the LG ARENA KM900 before we scoot away.
The list also includes a bunch of other functions like memos, stopwatch, voice recordings (pretty good quality indeed), calculator (with a sophisticated mode available), world clock and set of tools – FM transmitter and unit converter. As you probably rightfully have come to suspect, they all look awesome, especially adding a city into the world clock list. We have been dreaming of such a beautifully depicted globe and a personal jet to travel around it.

I bought the phone a month ago or so, and I sent it back one week later because it was so bad that it was almost not usable. The interface is a copy of the iphone, and it is packed with features, but most work badly. A few examples : - in the music player, when you sort by album, it actually sorts by artist name - even with the autofocus, the pictures are blured - you cannot play a youtube video trough the wifi, you have to be connected to the internet trough you phone company - the web browser is so bad that you basically cannot click on links, buttons, or select boxes - and the worst of all, one day it refused to make a phone call saying that this feature was not implemented in the current firmware!!!

ON KENTUCKY AVENUE Returns to Stage 72/The Triad This August
Due to popular demand, ON KENTUCKY AVENUE, a newly revised musical revue based loosely on fact (and mostly fiction) about the people and performers who took the stage and filled the tables at the majestic Club Harlem 'on Kentucky Avenue' in the north section of Atlantic City from the 1930s until the late 1980s, will return to STAGE 72/THE TRIAD, 158 West 72nd Street, for five performances in August. The additional performances will take place on Sundays, August 3, 10, 17 and 24 at 3 PM, and Monday, August 4, at 7 PM.
Tickets for the five additional summer performances are a cool $20 plus a 2-drink minimum. Tickets can be ordered 24/7 from Brown Paper Tickets 1-800-838-3006 or online at www.Stage72.com or www.onkentuckyavenue.com.
Doors open at 1/2 hour before curtain. All Tickets will be at Will Call.
The new musical revue, created by Jeree Wade and written by Adam Wade and Ty Stephens, has been in development for the past 2 1/2 years, and is now being prepared for a planned Broadway production in 2015 that will follow a brief tour. The musical is presented by Robert R. Blume, Adam Wade, Songbirds Unlimited Productions, Peter Martin/Rick Newman in association with J.R. Knauf, Marshall N. Warner, Marya Coburn and Cobi Narita. Adam Wade is the Director and Ty Stephens is Choreographer.
The show stars Ty Stephens, Cheryl Freeman, and Andricka Hall and features Lee Summers as Comedian Slappy Black, and Jeree Wade as singer Damita Jo. Also appearing are dancers (in alphabetical order): Olutayo Bosede, Donna Clark, Brian Davis, Gregory J. Hanks, Mindy Haywood, Cassandra Palacio and Renee Ternier. The on-stage live band features Frank Owens on piano, Wilbur Bascomb on bass, Greg Bueford on drums and Richard Cummings, Jr. on synthesizer.
The Original music is by Ty Stephens, Frank Owens, Branice McKenzie, Wilbur Bascomb, Adam Wade and Jeree Wade. The Musical Direction is by Frank Owens. Musical Supervisor is Wilbur Bascomb and Music Archivist/Conductor is Richard Cummings, Jr. Swing Dance Choreography is by Mickey Davidson. The Associate Choreographer is Donna Clark. Showgirl Consultant is Betty Jo (original Club Harlem showgirl) and Creative Consultant is Russ Weatherford. Costumes were created by Ty Stephens and Pearl Williams. The Production Manager is Pearl Williams.
The ON KENTUCKY AVE Club Harlem Revue takes place in a time -- before the Casinos took over Atlantic City -- when nightclubbing was still in vogue with leggy showgirls, hysterical comedians, and great singers and dancers entertaining the well dressed, well heeled audiences. The most famous of the clubs on the musical street known as Kentucky Avenue was the Club Harlem. Regarded in those years as "the black Copacabana" the club starred the major black talent of the era in fantastic stage shows that had flair and fashion from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
ON KENTUCKY AVENUE captures the feel and aura of the club, based on the personal experiences of Adam and Jeree Wade, who performed there during different eras - 30 years apart -- and were witnesses to much of the backstage intrigues that took place nightly. The musical features a hot band, beautiful showgirls, exciting dance numbers, humor, tears and laughs, as well as a poignant love story, performed to an original score true to the era, interspersed with hit songs from that same era!
Here is what critics and TONY nominees are saying about On Kentucky Avenue:
"'On Kentucky Avenue' is a party you don't want to miss!" -TONY nominee Maurice Hines
"The show is fabulous!" -TONY nominee Brenda Braxton
"What makes this show so spectacular, is the many wonderful song and dance numbers brilliantly executed on a very small stage in an intimate club. The performance not only uses the stage but also features showgirls prancing down the aisle and, on occasion, interacting with members of the audience!" -Paulanne Simmons, Theater Pizzaz
"It is the effervescent revue-formatted display of talent that makes the production sizzle. Ty Stephens is a dynamic MC and singer, with Cheryl Freeman and Andricka Hall tops in the vocal department. Jeree Wade is also spotlighted as a guest star appearing as Damita Jo." -Wolf Entertainment Guide
"This show was brilliant! We felt the heat, we felt the sweat, and felt the beat. The choreography is show stopping, the outfits are gorgeous and the performances are right on the money. Featuring an original score and a few favorites from the 60s (one of my favorite music eras), the beats were enticing, the ensembles and the vocals had me floored!" -Krystin Goodwin, KagedMedia/Buzz60
"Lightening up the love complications, (which never interfere with non-stop singing and costume changes by Ty Stephens and Pearl Williams) is comedian Lee Summers "Slappy Black" (a nod to the real-life Slappy White, who played the original Club Harlem)" -Dr. Sue

GATE 1: Product Archaeology
Preparation and Initial Assessment
Development Profile
When was the product developed?
The Honda motor company opened in 1948 in Japan. The 600 cc F2 motor was first developed in 1989 and sold in 1991. They put the motor into the 600cc Honda CBR.
What were the key economic and global concerns at the time of development?
At the time of development there economic concerns about fuel economy and cost. The reason that many people ride a motorcycle is because of the great gas mileage that the motor can get. With this engine and an average weight rider the motor could get upwards of 50 mpg. With a 4.2 gallon tank this could get you approximately 200 miles on a single tank. Another economic factor was the cost of the motorcycle. Although this report is specifically on the motor, we have to take in account that the main purpose was to be used in a motorcycle. Brand new this 600cc F2 Honda engineered motorcycle was much cheaper than buying a car to drive around. This made it very appealing to the consumer when purchasing. During this time of development there were not as many global concerns with air pollution and global warming as we hear about today. But there were definitely some concerns with the amount of pollution that this engine outputted when engineers developed this engine. For one this it is a four stroke engine that doesn't require the mixture of oil in the gas therefore making it easier and better for the environment. This is because two stroke engines tend to run more "rich" and create more air pollution and smog.
In what countries or regions is the product intended to be sold?
Honda motor company started off in Japan in 1948. It came to the United States in 1959 and then soon after was introduced to Europe and the rest of the world. So when this 600cc motor was developed it was intended to be sold all over the world. Where there are roads and streets we can expect that Honda intended their motor to be there. We can assume that this motor can be found worldwide.
What was the intended impact on the consumer? When this motor was developed engineers tried making it small enough to fit into a motorcycles frame, but also with the high performance for the consumer. People are always trying to get the most power out of whatever kind of motor they have. So when engineers made the 600cc F2 Honda engine they had all intentions of it having high performance. The motor has a hundred horsepower, and when put into a motorcycle frame has the combined weight of 407.9 pounds. This is just shy of a quarter horsepower per pound. The motor was made to enthuse the thrill seekers and I believe that is exactly what it did.
Usage Profile
Honda used this 600cc F2 engine, in its own motorcycles in 1993. It has very high horse power, high speed and is a production of Japan technology. In 1993, this engine was produced for drag races; however, nowadays with the new technology there is no difference between regular 4 strokes engine. Generally, it is used in high capacity motorcycles such as 500cc because of piston dimensions and high complexity. With this engine in the motorcycle, a driver can reach high speed and accelerate in a short time. It is good for the driver who likes semi-race motorcycles.
What types of energy are used?
In a motor like the 600cc Honda engine there are several types of energy used. The most obvious source of energy in the motor is gasoline. The only way that a motor will run is with the consumption of gasoline (This of course neglecting the temporary running of the motor when ether is sprayed directly into the carburetor or air filter.) Chemical energy from gas combined with oxygen is converted in the engine into mechanical energy which creates torque in the output shaft.
How is energy imported into the system(s)?
Energy is imported into the Honda engine when the fuel is gravity fed into the carburetor. Here it is mixed with oxygen to create a combustible mixture that is drawn into the engine by a vacuum and ignited with an electronic spark in an enclosed space. This ignition expands causing the piston to move and rotate the crank shaft, therefore powering the motor.
How are different types of energy transformed and modified?
The way that the energy is transformed and modified has been stated a little bit in the afore mentioned questions. It is a simple transformation when the air and fuel mixture ignite and therefore exploding and expanding and moving the pistons. The four cycle motor energy transformation and use is known as the Otto cycle which has been around since 1861.
Complexity Profile
There are many components in a motorcycle engine. The engine is composed of mostly steel, which has a high conductivity, stiffness and ductility. The upper part of the engine has cables, which are covered by plastic. As we know plastic has little to no conductivity and prevents short circuit therefore protects the engine. The strokes, oil filter, pistons and gear are the main components of the engine. Without these, the motorcycle would not run. Most of the components are attached onto the body with screws. There are components, which are attached onto other components such as a non-return valve. Power cables and pipes transport heat, oil and water to the engine. The engine has a very complex interaction among its components. Oil circulation is just a simple example to illustrate its complexity, which is shown in figure 1. There are a lot of examples such as heat transfer, water cycle etc.
Figure 1: Oil circulation
Material Profile
Materials that are clearly visible on the Honda 600cc F2 engine are a cast iron body, rubber hoses for air/fuel intake, rubber engine gasket (used to create a seal between the two pieces of cast iron body,) and a plastic air intake which sits on top of the motor. The moving parts inside the motor are made of stainless steel (pistons, crankshaft, transmission, and alternator.) The spark plugs are typically made of a porcelain insulator, aluminum metal casing, and typically a combination of copper, nickel-iron, chromium combination. The spark plugs usually connect to copper wiring which connects to the alternator and battery.) The more the engine is taken apart the more that the group will be able to see the many different parts that make up a complicated 600cc Honda motor.
User Interaction Profile
How does the user interface with the product?
The user interfaces with the Honda F2 engine through the ignition system and throttle. To start the engine, the cyclist puts the key in the ignition and turns the key, which starts a cycle of activity. The ignition turns on the starter motor and turns the crankshaft, which gets the piston moving. This is the start of the engine cycle. When the throttle is pushed, the engine accelerates causing the motorcycle to speed up.
How intuitive are the interfaces?
The engine can be traced back to the 1700s with James Watt and the steam engine, and in Germany during the 1800s with the internal combustion engine. These early engines were not as powerful as current engines and did not use gasoline as fuel. The current 1993 Honda F2 engine is very intuitive. It is a 600 cubic centimeter four stroke engine supported by a torque of 63.7 Nm and 100 horsepower.
Is the product easy to use?
Initially the Honda engine is not easy to use but with practice it can become easy. Before you even start to learn to drive and use the engine you have to be a certain age, usually 16 years old, and train with an experienced rider. One would also have to learn manual transmission and how and when to change gears. Especially since this motor is made for a motorcycle makes it more dangerous causing people to stay away from them.
Is regular maintenance required? If so, how easy is the maintenance?
Regular maintenance is required, but the ease of the maintenance depends on the user and what the problem is. The engine requires gasoline to run and regular oil changes, which most users would be able to access easily. For more complex problems, the user can take the motorcycle to a garage where a trained mechanic will fix whatever problem the engine is experiencing.
Product Alternative Profile
What product alternatives exist?
The Engine is a sophisticated piece of machinery. Although we first think about the combustion engine being related to automobiles, the engine is a very common machine used in many everyday jobs, landscape tools, as well as for recreation. For example, construction vehicles such as the tractor, excavator, and dump truck all use the modern day engine to move earth and erect buildings. In terms of recreation, the motorcycle, the water jet ski, ATV's all use the engine as a power source. Before the engine came about, human manpower was a source the source of energy, moving heavy objects and walking from place to place. Although there are some alternatives to the combustion engine, nothing would be as efficient as it. The electric engine is an alternative, which mainly run on chemical potential energy. Another futuristic alternative might be a solar engine, which we might be feasible in a couple years.
What are the advantages?
The advantages of the combustion engine is one, there is a lot of potential energy produced within. Two, the engine has allowed us to travel longer distances benefiting many companies for globalization. Three, it has allowed us to increase our agriculture production. For example, we are able to harvest a crop the size of a football field in less time, than in the past, where we had to manually harvest the crops. The motorcycle engine, which is a four stroke and puts out 600c, is very eco-friendly. In general motorcycles tend to receive higher gas mileage compared to cars due to the fact that it's simply lighter.
What are the disadvantages?
The disadvantage of a combustion engine is that, the byproduct consists of CO2, which today is increasing very rapidly due to all the vehicles on the road. CO2 is considered a greenhouse gas, which means that more infrared rays from the sun are being reflected back on to Earth's surface rather than being reflected into space, evidently, increasing the average global temperature. This is causing a major increase in weather related issues such as drought, floods and hurricanes as well as increase in ocean levels from glacial melt.
How do these alternatives compare in performance?
As stated the combustion engine is at the top of its league. The electrical engine will eventually attain the ability to putout close to the amount of potential energy as a combustion engine could but would never reach its potential. Today many engineers are trying to maximize the performance of the combustion engine. Cars are acquiring higher horsepower and increase in torque.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
If we are going with the fact that the dog ate cat feces then you may be looking at a blockage of the intestines. This would show symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and sudden lack of appetite. A blockage would require surgery so if the other signs start to show along with the drooling and diarrhea then I would have him looked at.
Drooling can be a sign of nausea, a tooth or gum problem, obstruction, ulcers in the mouth , something stuck between the teeth ,or something toxic that the dog has eaten.
I would take the dogs temperature and make sure that is normal. Using a rectal thermometer (found in any drug or grocery store) put Vaseline on the end and insert about one inch into the rectum, hold for two minutes or until it beeps if it is digital. Normal for dogs is 100.5 to 102.5. something higher could indicate infection.
Worms and protazoa can be another reason for the diarrhea and the drooling may be coincidental with something also going on in the mouth. If the car feces was infected with either parasites or protazoa then the dog would have picked it up through ingesting the feces.
If this is just upset stomach you can try giving some pepto bismol, and tonight give a bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice. This will help the intestines to become less inflamed. Here is information on pepto bismol and dosage;
Keep an eye out for any other symptoms mentioned above, if they start to present themselves then you should contact your vet.
Here is information on worms and protazoa found in animals.

The RSS, which has come out in support of Narendra Modi in the run up to 2014 Lok Sabha polls, on Sunday said the Sangh's aim is to build a strong India with the "right" leader with Hindutva at its core.
"Change has always come from society and not politics... just change of people in power will not help much...there is need to bring right kind of change in the society based on ideology of Hindutva," RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said.
He said the Sangh will strive to bring the right change in the society to make the nation strong in the hands of a "right leader".
The Rashtriya Swamsewak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak termed as wrong perception that Sangh is the ideological founthead of BJP and said the essence of its activities is to build a strong India with Hindutva at its core.
"Many misgivings about Sangh is prevailing in the society for different reasons and people talk about Sangh without knowing about it or essence of its activities," Bhagwat said here addressing a gathering on the eve of Shravan Poornima.
"Hindutva is the core of Hindustan, it is it's identity," he said, adding that it is wrong to look at Hinduatva as an ideology of a particular religion or community.
Bhagwat was addressing the gathering in the presence of senior BJP leaders of Bihar including former deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi, Leader of Opposition in Bihar Assembly Nand Kishore Yadav, BJP vice-president C P Thakur and state BJP president Mangal Pandey.
The RSS chief said that Sangh is engaged in a daunting task of reforming the society to make India a strong country.
Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, founder of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at Nagpur in 1940, had participated in the Independence struggle and during that always raised issues related to reform of the society by ending prevalent social evils, Bhagwat said.

MUMBAI (Reuters) - He's been called the "best film school" in India and film-maker Anurag Kashyap is living up to his name.
His co-production "Udaan" made it to the Cannes film festival in 2010. This year, three films Kashyap is associated with -- his own two-part revenge saga "Gangs of Wasseypur" and "Peddlers" (directed by Vasan Bala) -- are being screened at Cannes.
Kashyap, known for his edgy style of film-making is among the few directors giving Bollywood a new direction, choosing subjects and themes that would have been taboo a few years ago.
The 39-year-old spoke to Reuters about what it means to have his movies at Cannes, crossover cinema and why he believes in the economics of film-making.
Q: Has "Gangs of Wasseypur" turned out the way you hoped it would?
A: "It has turned out better. I was always gung-ho about the film, but since I finished writing it, lots of things have happened. There were lots of happy coincidences. Some good actors turned up, we were fortunate to capture some shots that would have otherwise cost a lot of money."
Q: Speaking of money, this is your most expensive film, isn't it?
A: "Yes it is, but it's not the most expensive film around. By industry standards, it's a small budget film -- cost a little over 20 crore (200 million) rupees, not 60 or 70 crore."
Q: You've said in the past that you are a very economical film-maker. Does that economy still work when you are making a two-part film with as large a canvas as "Gangs of Wasseypur"?
A: "Economy doesn't have anything to do with money. I am still a very economical film-maker. We are lazy, and just because we have the budget, we will try ten different things, hoping at least one will work. You don't need money to have scale. We would walk for hours every day so that we wouldn't repeat our locations or so that we could get the perfect shot (for 'Gangs of Wasseypur'). That for me is having scale."
Q: Why make "Gangs of Wasseypur" in two parts?
A: "Because I know it's a story that will need that much time. I wanted to make the whole film and my first cut was three parts long. Thank God it's now down to two. We don't know whether both the parts will release together, but we are showing both parts at Cannes."
Q: There are three movies you are associated with which are being screened at this year's Cannes film festival. What does it mean for you?
A: "It means a lot. A lot. Already the kind of response we are getting from international buyers is exceptional. There is a lot of buzz being created around these films and that will really help them. Cannes is a very prestigious festival. Also, now I know how this works. Now I make sure that as many people watch it. My films have been to other festivals before and I once had a representative from Cannes asking me why I didn't bring to Cannes. I told him I had, but he hadn't seen it. They get so many films, that it's not possible to watch all of them. Once your film has been watched, you have a chance. Now, I don't mind running with the print and walking up to every single person and asking them to watch my film."
Q: Isn't it ironic that a movie like "Peddlers" would get a great response abroad, but wouldn't find any takers in India? Is there a disconnect in terms of the way studios here think?
A: "I wouldn't say disconnect, at least in terms of 'Peddlers', because that was a movie even I wasn't sure about. I thought it was too early to make the film and the director wanted to work at the film like you would work at theatre. So I can understand a studio not buying it.
"But yes, I wish someone had got up and produced 'Udaan'. That was a movie that I had to go around asking for money for because no one wanted to take a chance. There's no disconnect, but studios have their own mandate and that mandate is dictated by shareholders. Also, we are very limited in the way we think. $50 million is our highest box office yet, for '3 Idiots'. We think of the Indian diaspora, but not the world beyond that."
Q: Do you really think Indian cinema can come up with themes which will resonate worldwide?
A: "There is more to Indian cinema than just Bollywood. I think regional cinema, especially Tamil and Marathi cinema are exploring some really bold themes. I was inspired to make 'Gangs of Wasseypur' because of the work of the Madurai trio (Directors Ameer Sultan, Vetrimaran and Bala). So there are a lot of themes, but these people don't know how to sell themselves. Outside of India, how many people are aware of Marathi and Tamil cinema. Especially down south, we only find out about a film after it's been released."
Q: Does a film going to a prestigious festival like Cannes do anything for it back in India? Does it help?
A: "Not at all. People don't even know what Cannes is."

PROLIFIC marksman Justin Bennett knows he must keep delivering the goods for Poole Town if he is to stand any chance of realising his Wembley dream.
The Gosport striker made a stunning start to his loan spell with the Dolphins by plundering a hat-trick in their 5-1 win over Southern Premier League rivals Bedford last night.
Bennett, whose goals fired Alex Pike's Boro to successive promotions, has joined Poole – initially for a month – in a bid to regain his form following an indifferent start to life in Conference South.
And after helping Poole sink Bedford, Bennett had a keen eye on the outcome of Havant & Waterlooville's FA Trophy quarter-final against Aldershot – with victory for the Hawks setting up a last-four clash with Gosport.
Although Bennett is ineligible for the first leg of the semi-final under the terms of his loan, he would be available for the second at Privett Park on February 22 – and a possible final at Wembley in March.
Bennett, a paraplanner for a financial adviser in Salisbury, told the Daily Echo: "I was buzzing for the lads at Gosport when they won their quarter-final on Saturday.
"I can't say I am not thinking about it but, as much as it is on my mind, I am just trying to concentrate on doing as well as I can for Poole.
"I would love to be a part of it. It is not every day a player at this level gets the chance of a day out at Wembley and I would be gutted if I were to miss out.
"But there is a still a semi-final to be won and, until anything is decided, I will be trying to do my best for Poole."
Discussing his loan move, Bennett added: "Goals have been hard to come by for all the strikers at Gosport this season and a few of us have been dropped here and there.
"It has been a case of fits and starts for me. I felt I needed to be playing games to get my confidence back so expressed an interest in going out on loan.
"Alex had a conversation with Tom (Killick) and it was left in my hands. As soon as I heard Poole wanted me, I jumped at the chance because I knew what a good club they were.
"If Alex gets a striker who scores a few goals, he might look at extending the loan and, if I am banging in goals for Poole, he might want to take me back."
Bennett netted twice inside the opening 19 minutes at Bedford before his third goal was sandwiched between second-half strikes from Marvin Brooks and Jordan Chiedozie. Jordan Jarrold's effort had made it 2-1.
"My first game could not have gone any better," said the former Salisbury, Andover and Eastleigh sharpshooter.
"The boys at work said I should set my sights on a hat-trick but I said I would be happy to just get a game because I hadn't played much recently."
Dolphins: Buchel, Emmerson, Spetch, Martin, Whisken, Pettefer, Brooks, Devlin (Davies, 80), Bennett (Elliott, 80), Preston, Charles (Chiedozie, 65). Unused subs: Cann, Lowes.

You can see artworks made by firing a pistol at paint-filled balloons, smearing mayonnaise on a canvas and drawing random numbers out of a phone book, all on display at Washington University's Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum. They're part of Chance Aesthetics, an exhibit that examines how avant-garde artists of the early 20th century used processes of chance to create their works and engage viewers. The exhibit features more than 40 artists, including Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock and Niki de Saint Phalle, using such strategies as collage, games, found objects and 'automatism,' a method of unconscious drawing.
While the majority of the works are borrowed from other institutions, Chance Aesthetics also reflects and draws upon the larger collection of the Kemper Art Museum, which focuses on cutting edge, contemporary art from Europe and America in the late 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Founded in 1881, the Washington University art museum was the first art museum west of the Mississippi. Now situated at the corner of Forsyth and Skinker boulevards, it originally opened downtown, where Washington University was then located.
Around the time of the 1904 World's Fair, the museum needed to move, both because the university was relocating west of the city and because the building wasn't big enough anymore. Founding director Halsey Ives built the Beaux Arts palace in Forest Park, the building where the Saint Louis Art Museum is located today, with the intention of moving the art museum there after the fair. But St. Louis citizens decided they would not pay taxes for the university museum because it was a private corporation. Ives became director of the public City Art Museum (now the Saint Louis Art Museum) formed shortly thereafter, where the university's collection remained on loan for several decades.
While the Saint Louis Art Museum went on to develop a broad, encyclopedic collection, the university museum developed a focus on contemporary European and American art. Washington University art historian and curator H.W. Janson, who came to St. Louis in 1941 as an exile from Nazi Germany, was instrumental in that shift. "He decided to de-accession much of the collection, including many 19th century paintings, and from the proceeds he bought mostly European modern art," says Sabine Eckmann, director and chief curator of the museum for the past five years. With the goal of creating 'the finest collection of contemporary art assembled on any American campus," Janson acquired works by Max Beckmann, Georges Braque, Max Ernst, Juan Gris and Pablo Picasso, among others. "Most of the Janson acquisitions made us famous and are also the works that tour internationally," says Eckmann. In 2004, the museum received a generous $5 million gift from the Kemper family, and it was renamed the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum.
Today, the museum continues to focus on buying the most cutting-edge art of the day, Eckmann says. The Kemper's collection is about 90 percent European and American art from the late 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, she says, along with some Old Master prints and Greek and Egyptian antiquities. Notable recent acquisitions include a gift of 180 photographs from the Andy Warhol Foundation to be exhibited in summer 2010, and a 661-pound polished aluminum orb by Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, which hangs in the entry hall of the museum's new building, designed by architect Fumihiko Maki and opened in 2006.
"[Chance Aesthetics] is the first big modern art exhibition in the new building," says Meredith Malone, curator of the exhibit. "I wanted to do something that looked at modern art from a different angle." Putting it together took two years, which Malone says is typical for a major loan exhibition. Only two of the works included belong to the Kemper Art Museum, Bearded Head, a piece of driftwood found by the artist Jean Dubuffet, and The Eye of Silence, a painting by Max Ernst. Grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Dedalus Foundation, the Missouri Arts Council and the Regional Arts Council helped support shipping and insuring the more than 60 works of art.
While most of the pieces traveled to get to the exhibition, some were in fact made on site specifically for the show, like William Anastasi's Untitled (one gallon of industrial high-gloss enamel, poured). Anastasi, now in his late 70s, first created the piece in 1966. He came to Washington University a couple of days before the exhibit opening to climb a ladder and pour black paint out of a Dixie cup down the wall. "It was kind of mesmerizing watching the paint drip down," Malone says. "It's a conceptual piece because every time he does it somewhere else it's different." The paint splattered slightly as it ran down the wall, leaving a large, glossy pool on the floor, which Malone says will never fully dry.
Asked to name her favorite pieces in the exhibit, she picks out works by Niki de Saint Phalle, Ray Johnson and Dieter Roth. De Saint Phalle covered a piece of plaster with paint-filled balloons, then shot them and let the paint dry. Ray Johnson, the inventor of mail art, put together a box full of cardboard pieces punched with holes and sent them to a friend, to be put together like a jigsaw puzzle or strung as a work of art. Dieter Roth used the chance formations created by decay to create works of art from mayonnaise, sausage and cheese. "When we first took [the mayonnaise painting] out of the crate, it smelled horrible," Malone recalls. "I was a little disappointed that the smell went away, because I thought it would have been an interesting addition."
Malone says she sees the exhibit as playful, and hopes viewers have fun. "I also want people to think about the notion of chance, because you can talk about it on so many levels." In fact, the exhibit engages other disciplines, with accompanying events like a panel discussion on chance as it relates to art, music, literature, architecture and anthropology; a concert including experimental works by John Cage; and a live chess match using a specially designed roulette wheel to determine both player's moves. The wheel was invented specifically for Chance Aesthetics by two-time U.S. Women's Chess Champion Jennifer Shahade, who will be in town for the Women's Chess Championships in October. Shahade was inspired by the artist Marcel Duchamp, who loved chess and once commented that it would be interesting to combine "the ultimate game of strategy" with "the ultimate game of chance."
At its core, Malone says, Chance Aesthetics is about the tension between strategy and choice. Take the 'automatic drawings' by the Surrealists, for example, where artists started sketching at random, then worked up the figures and faces they saw in their designs. Or the plexiglass container of trash made by French artist Arman, who collected random trash from a specific person, artist Claes Oldenburg. About that piece, Malone has a tip for savvy viewers: Toward the top of the pile, you might spot a pamphlet with a picture of the St. Louis Arch on it. Not intentional, she says. "It's totally by chance." S


text: URMC / Encyclopedia / Content Cannabinoid Screen and Confirmation (Urine) Does this test have other names? Marijuana screen, drug abuse screening test, DAST, marijuana drug test (urine), drug abuse test What is this test? This is a two-part urine test to look for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. THC is the active ingredient in marijuana. The test can find out if THC or related chemicals from marijuana called metabolites are in your urine. The test is considered quite accurate. You may have to do the urine test in a healthcare provider's office or with a technician present. Why do I need this test? You might have this test as a requirement before being hired for a job. You might also have this test if you are showing signs of drug abuse. Your healthcare provider may also give you this test to monitor drug abuse treatment and to quickly look for any signs of relapse. Regular testing may help you recover from drug abuse more successfully. What other tests might I have along with this test? Your doctor may also order tests on samples of your hair, saliva, sweat, or blood. What do my test results mean? Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your healthcare provider. A positive result can mean recent and past marijuana use. The urine marijuana test will be positive if the amount of THC in the sample is more than 50 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). This is called the cut-off level. If you use marijuana but your test is negative, it could be because your THC levels are below this level. A confirmation test can be done by a more sensitive method if the screening test is positive. Confirmation tests are done to be certain that the original test result is a true result. It is done to make sure the result was not caused by a medicine or other substance affecting the test. Urine tests can't show the exact day or hour that marijuana was last used. This is because THC can stay in your system even after you've stopped using marijuana. THC can linger on average up to 10 days for a casual user. It stays in your system for 2 to 4 weeks if you use marijuana often, and more than a month if you use it more often. How is this test done? This test requires a urine sample. You may need to give the sample with a medical staff or technician in the room. Does this test pose any risks? This test poses no known health risks. But the results may affect your job or legal standing. What might affect my test results? The nausea medicine dronabinol gives positive test results. Tell your healthcare provider if you've been taking it. You may be asked to give proof you have been prescribed this medicine. How do I get ready for this test? You don't need to prepare for this test. Be sure your healthcare provider knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use Medical Reviewers: Snyder, Mandy, APRN Taylor, Wanda L, RN, PhD

text: Johannesburg - The Premier Soccer League have revealed the new season will be split up into four-quarters, with the league leaders at each stage set to earn R1.5 million. Speaking at a media briefing this weekend PSL chairperson Irvin Khoza confirmed the quarterly prize money structure, and claims the new lay-out will ensure an even more competitive campaign. "The Absa Premiership will from this season be divided into four quarters. Quarter one will have eight fixtures, quarter two seven, quarter three eight and quarter four seven," Khoza said. Orlando Pirates have now twice clinched the PSL crown on the final day of the season, edging Ajax Cape Town on goal difference in the 2010/11 campaign before finishing just two points ahead of Moroka Swallows last term. The eventually winner of this season's PSL will also be rewarded with a R10 million prize, making this term one of the most lucrative in the country's history.

The proposed study is a two-armed randomized controlled clinical trial examining the long-term (one-year) efficacy of telephone intervention conditions for smoking cessation in a high risk medical population; namely, cancer survivors: Proactive telephone recruitment through the Childhood Cancer Survivors Survey (CCSS) St. Jude Life Study, After Completion of Therapy (ACT) Clinic and face to face recruitment at the local West Clinics will serve as the primary methods of recruitment.
The specific aims of the study :
(1) To recruit nationally a cohort of approximately 1242 smokers who are cancer survivors(621 childhood cancer survivors and 621 adult cancer survivors); 2) To determine the long-term (one year) efficacy of the intervention condition for participants randomly assigned to the Counselor-initiated versus a Self-paced QL; and (3) to find out whether treatment outcomes vary as a function of survivors' age of cancer diagnosis (survivors who diagnosed while adults vs. childhood cancer survivors who diagnosed before the age of 21).

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Welcome! Thank you for your post today. I can assist you.
It sounds like things are not going well in your home, especially between your husband and son. It's abusive what you describe your husband doing to your son. Often that's how abuse starts is a parent feels powerless, disrespected, helpless, and acts out angrily.
If a child came to my office and told me this was happening in the home I would be mandated to report it to social services. Something must be done before this gets more out of control.
By the time a parent is angry or enraged, a behavior issues has gone on too long, and that parent makes more about being "disrespected"- more energy goes into the battle verses problem solving what needs to be put into place to assist your son to get up in the a.m.
I'm quite sure your husband wants your son to listen, to respect his parents, but is at a loss to putting the appropriate expectations and limits into place.
I'm glad you posted your question today. I think it's understandable that you are scared. I would encourage you as soon as possible to contact your husband- before you all come together this evening and tell him you are scared. Afraid this is going to escalate and that it's time to wave the surrender flag and as for help. Come up with a specific plan on how to problem solve the behavior issue- not getting up on time, or whatever the behavior of concern is. Once you and your husband have decided something needs to change, identify what appropriate consequences would be. Once you decide what the expectations and consequences will be it's vital that both you and your husband work from the same "page" and follow through on what you decided. Sharing with your son what the two of you have decided, letting him know the plan. Sometimes asking a child what the appropriate consequences would be is productive. Both of you talking to your son and stating "we have a problem" and something needs to change. Your husband also needs to apologize to your son for his actions.
Since may be the more calm and reasonable one, get your husband to agree that if he starts getting agitated he allows you to take over. Coming up with a plan ahead of time- identify what behaviors need to be addressed, appropriate and natural consequences, and doing this immediately is vital. Validating your husbands frustration in all of this my make him more open to a discussion, and letting him know you will work just as hard to work with him. Both of you need to agree what is a reasonable intervention first.
If you believe the above is not reasonable or possible I'd encourage you to consult with a family therapist to address this crisis. Getting help and support to identify the steps that need to be taken to avoid further physical escalation. This is a crisis and needs you and your husband's immediate attention. You need to protect your son. You started putting a change in place by seeking out ideas and information today. I can't imagine your husband feels too great about what happened.

MANCHESTER- Stuart Broad took six wickets as India were bowled out for just 152 on the first day of the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford on Thursday.
However, India's total -- built on a defiant 71 from captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who opted to bat first after winning the toss in overcast conditions -- represented a considerable recovery after they had been 4-8.
It was the worst start to the first innings of a Test since England were 4-2 against South Africa at Johannesburg in 1999 when Duncan Fletcher, now in charge of India, was their coach.
At stumps England were 3-113 in reply, 39 runs behind.
Ian Bell was 45 not out and nightwatchman Chris Jordan unbeaten on nought after Gary Ballance (37) fell late in the day, lbw to the recalled Varun Aaron.
Australia-born opener Sam Robson, as if conscious he had been repeatedly caught in the slips, was bowled middle stump for six after leaving a Bhuvneshwar Kumar inswinger.
Then captain Alastair Cook, fresh from his two fifties in Southampton, fell for 17 hooking Aaron straight to Pankaj Singh at long leg.
Broad, showing no sign of his persistent right knee injury, took six for 25 in 13.4 overs, including a post-lunch burst of four for six in 21 balls.
New-ball partner James Anderson had three for 46 in 14 overs on his Lancashire home ground.
"A brilliant day, we're in an extremely strong position," Broad told Sky Sports.
"I was a bit disappointed when we lost the toss, but we got lucky with the overheads which made a big difference in the first hour -- every ball was nickable."
Broad and Anderson have now taken more than 500 Test wickets between them and Broad added: "I wanted to challenge the front foot without giving away easy drives, that's how the partnership with Jimmy works as we can bowl different lengths."
Anderson entered the match under a cloud for his persistent 'sledging'.
But few India batsmen, Dhoni apart, lingered long enough for it to become an issue on Thursday.
India in fact equalled the record of six ducks in a Test innings, with three of their top four out for nought.
Apart from Dhoni, the only other India batsmen to make it into double figures were Ravichandran Ashwin (40) and Ajinkya Rahane (24).
All of India's first four wickets fell with their score on eight, a quartet of batsmen dismissed in the space of 13 balls.
Gautam Gambhir, recalled in place of the dropped Shikhar Dhawan in one of three changes to the India side that lost the third Test in Southampton by 266 runs, was first to go when he nicked Broad to Joe Root in the gully.
Anderson initially struggled to control the lavish swing on offer but the 32-year-old took two wickets for no runs in three balls as both opener Murali Vijay and Virat Kohli fell for ducks after edging to Cook at first slip.
Cheteshwar Pujara got an outside edge off Broad and Jordan, diving to his right, held a fine catch at third slip to have the tourists 4-8 inside six overs.
Rahane and Dhoni then repaired some of the damage.
But a fifth-wicket stand worth 54 ended when Rahane edged Jordan to Ian Bell at second slip.
At lunch, India were 5-63 with Dhoni 25 not out and Jadeja yet to score.
Jadeja went soon after lunch with nought against his name, lbw to Anderson after an inswinger beat the left-hander's defence.
Ashwin top-edged Anderson for six before wicketkeeper Jos Buttler dropped him on 25.
A stand worth 66 ended when Ashwin top-edged a hook off Broad and was caught at square leg by Sam Robson having made 40 in just 42 balls.
Dhoni completed a 115-ball fifty but was eventually out when he hoisted a Broad ball from outside off stump straight to Jordan at deep backward square leg.
And 9-152 became 152 all out when Broad bowled last man Pankaj Singh for nought, India losing 10 wickets in under four hours and fewer than 47 overs.

In a letter to shareholders, Hong Kong-based Cathay Fortune, which along with China-Africa Development fund dumped an $830 million takeover bid for Discovery in February this year, said the miner's quarterly update showed it was "burning" through cash and there was no sign of improvement in the foreseeable future.
Discovery needs about $40 million to replenish its debt-service reserve account and repay the principal and interest on a project loan, according to Cathay Fortune in the letter.
It also requires funding to develop the Plutus open pit, Zeta underground mine, and construction of a coal-fired power plant, the letter said.
"We speculate that Discovery will have to do ongoing capital raisings in the near future," said Cathay Fortune Corp chairman
"We will never tolerate Discovery continuously pursuing any value destroying and dilutive financing arrangements. We strongly oppose it and will not participate."
Cathay Fortune owns 13.7 per cent of Discovery's equity, behind BlackRock, which owns 20.5 per cent.
Discovery's cash balance fell from $29 million in December, 2012 to $11.4 million, according to the letter. In its quarterly announcement on Monday, Discovery said it had $US16.9 million in cash, and project and corporate debt facilities of $US176 million.
"In view of the continuous disappointing operation results which never achieve what the management has planned, we cannot foresee any possibility of improvement of such sustained cash-flow disequilibrium under the gloomy commodity market situation," Mr Yu said.
Discovery managing director
Discovery, however, said existing lenders had formally consented to a series of amendments to the company's finance agreements, including extensions to repayments and waivers on debt covenants.
Discovery shares entered a trading halt on Friday last week valued at 34¢ a share. The company's share price has tumbled 79 per cent or a $1.26 a share since the start of the year.
Discovery reported a 53 per cent increase in copper and 62 per cent increase in silver production quarter-on- quarter.
The shareholder update said it was the best quarterly metal production to date. It also said its mining ramp would be completed in the June quarter and that "value enhancing projects" including the Zeta underground and coal-fired power station had continued on schedule.
Goldman Sachs Australia said Discovery's quarterly production figures showed signs of improvement but lacked detail.
The institutional dealing desk research note said Discovery did not provide details around the grade of its production or the mining costs.
"Both of which remain key areas of uncertainty for us as the project continues to ramp up," said the note.

Spokane VA is great
I'm a Vietnam veteran. I've been using the Veterans Administration hospital for about 10 years. In my opinion, they set the standard for health care in Spokane.
In 10 years, I have never (and I mean never) waited longer than five minutes after my appointment time to see the nurse, then the doctor. If an X-ray is recommended, by the time I arrive at X-ray, on the same day, the request has been transmitted by computer and they are ready.
Four years ago, I needed an MRI and was scheduled within two weeks at a private hospital at VA expense. I needed another earlier this year and was scheduled in a week at the VA hospital's new unit. I needed carpal tunnel surgery two months ago and was scheduled in three weeks. The hand is doing great.
Do they cancel appointments? Yes. When a doctor leaves the system, what do you expect? While I also have private care options, I will choose the VA as my first choice.
Last item: Check-in at the VA is on a computer terminal; no need to stand in line. There may be problems in Phoenix or elsewhere, but not in Spokane.

Wisconsin Tow Truck Driver Robbed at Knifepoint Will Not Face ChargesApr 21st, 2011 | By Editorial Staff | Category: National News
The Milwaukee, order Wis., pharmacy tow truck driver who shot two men who robbed him Friday, viagra 60mg April 15, will not be facing charges, according to a news report.
Documents show Rodney Redmond and Ajahntae Banda, ages 18 and 22, pulled a knife on the tow truck driver outside of a home and robbed him of $400, the report states. Prosecutors said the tow truck driver pulled out a gun and shot the two men, one in the stomach and the other in the chest.
The tow truck driver, whose age was reported at 28, was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon following the shootings. He was questioned, booked and released.
Both men are recovering in the hospital, and each will be charged with armed robbery. The district attorney's office said the tow truck driver acted in self-defense and will not be charged, according to the report.

But Ronan O'Gara - who lost his international place to rising star Jonathan Sexton during the RBS 6 Nations - fired over three second-half penalties and converted Doug Howlett's second try of the game and one from Jean De Villiers to secure a superb Irish comeback.
The tie was the third time the two sides had met this season, with each triumphing on home soil, and it was Munster who shrugged off O'Connell's pre-match fitness test failure to go 3-0 up at Thomond Park thanks to O'Gara.
Ireland international Keith Earls exploited the momentum to jink wide and feed Paul Warwick for the opening try, before Howlett went over following two Myler penalties.
But the visitors were far from overawed and England full-back Ben Foden worked his magic to release Clarke for the Saints' first score after Myler had clipped over his third penalty.
With just three points in it at the break Northampton were never able to relax and were soon trailing again after Tomas O'Leary put in De Villiers for the score.
O'Gara converted before cancelling out a Myler penalty with one of his own and then converting late on after Howlett crossed to snuff out any lingering Northampton hopes.

The 49ers, Jets, Broncos, and Redskins have been among the big players in one of the most intriguing off-seasons for years.
Mario Manningham to the 49ers
Eli Manning may be soaking up the plaudits for the New York Giants Superbowl win, but he would not have done it without this man. The Manning to Manningham combination will be no more, even though the 49ers entered talks with brother Peyton at the last minute. Manningham was a huge asset to the Giants, with the wide receiver making huge plays late in the season, and one incredible catch in the Superbowl's fourth quarter last month. This one is a great deal for the San Francisco team.
Randy Moss to the 49ers
Moss is the 49ers second wide receiver signed along with Manningham, and many pundits are lining up to praise the deal as particularly shrewd. Former Patriots star Moss has come out of retirement after a season out, and must have shown great physicality in his tryout for the 49ers to sign him up. The franchise have strengthened a key area of attack, to compliment the tight-end position in which Vernon Davis excelled last year. Now all they need is another improved season from Alex Smith. They were only a couple of fumbles away from reaching the Superbowl last season, and have to be among the favourites now.
Tim Tebow to the Jets
Intriguing is one of many words you can use to sum up this trade, with crazy, mind-blowing, and i-did-not-see-that-coming among the others. Tebow's 8-5 starting record took the Broncos to the play-offs last year, where he defeated the Steelers, but Denver decided Peyton Manning is the way forward. Even so, the Jets were not a franchise expected to be in the market for a quarterback after publicly backing Mark Sanchez and giving him a new deal right after Manning was released.
Mark Sanchez was under a host of pressure going into next season anyway, after two promising seasons faltered badly in this third last year, failing to make the play-offs. Tebow would not have signed if he did not believe he would be a starter, so the quarterback situation in New York is going to be fascinating and intense, with acres of column inches ready to be filled by the city's media. Can Tebow be a winner at the Jets? Well he has everywhere else throughout his career, and make no mistakes- he will get starts next year to prove it.
Peyton Manning to the Broncos
This was the deal that sparked the Tebow trade, and one that has immediately propelled the Broncos to be among the favourites for next year's Superbowl. Manning was released by the Colts, who he was a 2006 champion with, but he missed the entire 2011 season with injury. It could be a stroke of genius from the Broncos, who in doing so brought an abrupt end to the Tebow-era. However there is a fair amount of risk involved, given Manning's health concerns. Can he last a whole season? The Broncos will need to draft a back-up to ease those fears.
Pierre Garcon to the Redskins
The Redskins are really trying to build for this coming season. Having secured the number two draft pick, they are in prime position to get highly rated quarterback Robert Griffin III next month. Obviously he needs big targets to throw to, so securing wide receiver Pierre Garcon was a bold move. Garcon was picked up from the Colts, and previously played with Peyton Manning completing 67 receptions in 2010. Last season without Manning he went even better, with 70, even though the Colts won just two games. The Redskins will be looking to him to lead the attack, and he is not the only wide receiver that has been brought into Washington, but he may be the one they have highest hopes for.
