Hi, I want to enable my domain users to add static route to their computers but I don't know which GPO can help me on this.
Can some one help me on this?
You can use your Logon scripts.
If you want specific users to have certain static routes configured, you could call a batch or powershell script from within the logon scripts. However, I think this would need local admin privileges for the user account.
If you want specific machines to have static routes, you could configure that on the computer account logon rather than the user account. This would use the System account and not require elevated user permissions.
I general, allowing users to add or modify static routes is a potentially dangerous thing to do for the security and health of your network: if you need static routes, I think it would be preferrable to configure it on the computer account rather than for the user.
Users should never need to add routes, your network router should do all the work for them - then when it goes wrong or the route changes there is only one place to look / change.
What route do they need to add and why?
cheers, Paul
Paul T & Tinto Tech: Thanks for reply,
Actually I have a VPN dialler that as soon as user log-ins into his/her machine dial a VPN connection for internet access.
I want when VPN connection established, a static route be added to users machine for routing all of it's internet traffic through this tunnel.
Every this goes find but adding this static route because the user does not have such a permission.
I don't know which GPO rule can suits my need.
You do not describe the VPN dialler, but often these tools will have settings to route internet traffic automatically.
Alternatively you could deploy an on-site proxy server which manages all internet traffic: it could even direct this traffic over a VPN if needed. This provides a single point for configuration as Paul T suggested.
Failing that, setting a per computer static route in the AD Computer logon script should meet the requirement, but that may have unwanted implications for the reasons why you need VPN access for internet traffic.
It is also difficult to set routes for internet access because the IP address could be almost anything and you effectively have to set a default route to the internet, with specific routes for local traffic. To get around that problem you set the browser to use a proxy, which should be possible with the VPN software.
cheers, Paul
Honestly, my customer wants his employees only use VPN connection for accessing to the internet. My dialler can handle everything including finding the assigned IP address by VPN server and adding static route.
But my difficulties is on a windows domain environment. For adding static route to clients, this dailler needs permissions except administrator ones. For tracking user's internet usage we need them to login by dailer with their domain usernames and for that their account must have required privileges for adding static route.
The VPN will have an address / route. Try setting the browser proxy to that address.
cheers, Paul
Well then how I can track the user? where does user enter his username and password?
I think there is more to your requirement than in your original request and it sounds a bit complicated the way you intend to do it. As Paut T suggested a VPN would not know how to route outgoing connections to hosts over the internet.
If your customer requires to track, monitor, or control his user's internet access, then a VPN is not the way to do it. A VPN will provide secure point to point communications. This can be made anonymous at the far end and is sometimes used to transit national boundaries where restrictions would otherwise prohibit. But a VPN does not in itself control, log or otherwise monitor traffic. To do that you need a Proxy. In fact, reading between the lines, I think your dialer is in part a Proxy service, but not one that we might describe as normal.
I recommend that you deploy a full proxy server. Have your users authenticate against that Proxy Server using Active Directory - no additional authentication, just the single sign on in AD. The proxy server can be configured to log, monitor or control users actions in pretty much any way you wish. It can then also dial out the http requests over a VPN service if you need that secure point to point or anonymous connection.
The VPN forms part of the network connection operating at Layer 3 while the Proxy implements your control, monitoring and logging at the transport Layer 4.
Well, all you say is absolutely right and I agree with that.
My dialler can handle almost every thing and I only have this problem on windows domain environment.
This dialler after establishing VPN connection to the VPN server must have enough privileges to add static route on client machine.
This dialler uses user's windows credencial as user-name and password for establishing VPN connection.
Unfortunately I can not change network topology and this decision has been taken based on customer's network data-flow.
Attached file may be helpful.
Attachment 36872
Static routes are not the answer IMHO. You should be using the browser's proxy settings to route internet requests and this setting will be used by all programs requiring internet access.
cheers, Paul

'Taser' man stuns politician to promote product
26 November 2007, PARIS - Antoine di Zazzo says he has been 'tasered' more than 50 times and never felt the worse for the ordeal.
26 November 2007
PARIS - Antoine di Zazzo says he has been 'tasered' more than 50 times and never felt the worse for the ordeal.
One of the biggest Taser representatives outside the US base, Di Zazzo also gave a surprise blast of the stun gun to French far-right politician Jean-Marie Le Pen and offered a test dose to Nicolas Sarkozy before he became France's president.
Sarkozy diplomatically declined, according to di Zazzo, but the president's no-nonsense law and order tactics are one reason why the engineer businessman is confident of huge demand for the gun, despite controversy over its use in North America and being declared a form of torture by a UN committee.
The French leader vowed before his election in May to buy a Taser -- which paralyses targets -- for every policeman and gendarme in France which could provide a market for at least 300,000 guns alone.
The Taser France chief said he has endured more than 50 Taser shots during tests and demonstrations of the gun.
"You cannot call it real pain," said di Zazzo. "I just found that time was infinitely long." In reality, a shot from the gun, which packs a 50,000 volt punch immobilises suspects for a few seconds.
National Front leader Le Pen, who was 79 at the time, went to inspect the gun last year because of the headlines it made when Sarkozy made his pledge as interior minister. "He did not want to try it but I took him a bit by surprise," said di Zazzo.
"He has special protection because he is a leading politician but I got round them and fired into his shoulder. He fell over but got up again and then went around telling people: 'You are shaking the hand of the man who has tried Sarkozy's toy'."
There are already about 250,000 of the stun guns in use, mainly in North America, but about 70 other countries are buying or trying Tasers -- including Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand, said di Zazzo.
All countries are watching the debate in the United States and Canada over the use of the gun which fires two probes at targets at speeds of more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) per hour.
The electric jolt in the probes causes what the US company calls the "immediate loss of the person's neuromuscular control". The suspect is temporarily paralysed.
There has been much debate in Canada after a 40-year-old Polish man died last month after he was 'tasered' by police. Another 36-year-old man died Saturday five days after an altercation with police who used a Taser to subdue him.
There have been at least three other deaths this week in the United States after police use of the Taser.
Amnesty International has said there have been about 300 deaths around the world after Taser use and has called for it to be suspended while a full investigation into the impact is conducted.
On Friday, the UN Committee said the stun gun "causes acute pain, constituting a form of torture".
Taser International says that no death has been attributed to the use of the gun and that the controversy is caused by misunderstanding of new technology. It has won more than 50 legal cases in the United States alleging the gun was linked to a death.
"If electricity was to kill it would do so straight away," said di Zazzo. "In most of these cases people have carried on fighting or struggling after they were hit by the Taser and had recovered. In a lot of these cases there is a drug overdose or cerebral delirium involved."
"In Canada, the man carried on struggling afterwards and was hit by batons and the police knelt on him. You can also die from being hit with a baton or knelt on," he added.
Taser says its device "saves lives" because it is an effective alternative to a real gun. Each stun round is videod by a camera on the gun for future evidence.
Di Zazzo's French company is also developing a mini-flying saucer like drone which could also fire Taser stun rounds on criminal suspects or rioting crowds.

WOULD you queue for more than five hours to speak to Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf inside a lift?
That is the question a surprisingly large number of people in Oxford answered 'yes' to, with more than 100 fans waiting patiently for hours to meet the Transformers star.
As part of an "art performance" ahead of an appearance at the Oxford Union, the actor stayed put in the lift at EC English in Gloucester Green with artists Luke Turner and Nastja Säde Rönkkö from 9am on Friday.
The trio said they planned to stay until 9am today – only leaving for the union talk – and even received a pizza from Domino's during the public stunt.
Speaking inside the lift, Mr LaBeouf told a fan: "You come to Oxford and you are going to do this talk and it feels kind of cold and uppity.
"We never really wanted to do the talk but you don't want to turn it down either.
- WESTGATE: Major clothing brand announces it will open store
- Veterans remember soldiers who died at Battle of Passchendaele
- American-style restaurant chain wants to open at the new Westgate Centre
- New faces around the county council cabinet table
- Oxfordshire detective is a contestant on Channel 4 survival show The Island with Bear Grylls
"So how do you make that warm and close and more friendly? That is what we are trying to do."
Visitors to the building were able to join the group inside the lift and chat to the actor and his pals.
Topics of conversations ranged from Oxford University sports teams, to the abstract concept of metamodernism and even to the dating app Tinder.
- People queueing in Gloucester Green to get into the lift with Shia LaBeouf
Mr LaBeouf said: "I haven't used it. Is that the new way of saying 'hey I think you're attractive?' "There's nothing wrong with that. I think that's really interesting, the new way of saying 'I think you're pretty' but without the risk."
The day saw the actor trending on Twitter in Oxford while the whole event was broadcast live on YouTube, watched by thousands of people at any one time.
Not everyone was interested in the stunt, however. Television personality Piers Morgan wrote on Twitter: "It's not 'performance art' – he's standing in a b***dy lift."
It wasn't his first visit to Oxfordshire – he filmed scenes for tank drama Fury, also starring Brad Pitt, in Shirburn, near Watlington in 2013.
Mr LaBeouf's career started with the Disney television show Even Stevens before he starred in the first three Transformers films.
Alongside Harrison Ford, he played Indiana Jones' son 'Mutt Williams' in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008, the fourth film in the franchise created by George Lucas.
Yesterday was not the first time Mr LaBeouf has made headlines with an unusual art project in co-operation with Turner and Rönkkö.
In 2014 they organised the #IAMSORRY exhibition, when people queued at a Los Angeles art gallery to watch him sit silently in a room while wearing a tuxedo with a paper bag over his head.
- Reporter Naomi Herring shakes hands with Shia LaBeouf after meeting him in the lift
Reporter Naomi Herring managed a brief chat with Shia LaBeouf:
Q: How long have you been here and what have you done?
A: We have been here since yesterday and we've been up a church tower and around some of the colleges.
Q: What do you like about Oxford? Have you been here before?
A: I've never been to Oxford before. I like the history, the architecture and the buildings. It's got the oldest English-speaking university in the world. That's awesome.
Q: What's the weirdest question someone has asked you today?
A: Well, someone asked 'what's the most interesting thing that's ever happened to you in your whole life?' and someone else asked 'who is your hero?' These are hard questions.
Q: It's quite a small space…
A: We've had to put up with the kind of nail polish smell in here the whole day.
Q: Are you still in touch with Beans (Steven Anthony Lawrence) from Even Stevens?
A: Yeah, we still talk. He has his own house and is living with a girlfriend.
After four hours waiting in line to meet Shia LaBeouf, five minutes in a lift with him - honestly - was enough.
Now that may be down to the fact that I was tired and bored by the time I had made it to the front of the queue.
Or maybe because he seemed tired and bored after 9 hours meeting fans.
As I was one of, what I would guess, more than 100 people that had waited for hours to see the Hollywood actor - I hoped for more.
Once in the lift we asked what he had been enjoying about Oxford, he mentioned the architecture and admitted they had done a bit of sight-seeing the day before.
I also put to him: why chose a public exhibition in a lift for fans? He explained how it was better suited to him than getting up and speaking in front of crowds of people.
Unfortunately, the person who joined me in the lift to meet the star offered up pop tarts early on, which proved to be a bit of a distraction.
But he did pose for a selfie, which I am sure becomes tiresome after meeting hundreds of fans in such a intimate setting.
He made it clear with organisers that nobody was to be given a time limit for their encounter and wanted to make sure each meeting was comfortable.
It says a lot about a person, who must be hounded by fans and media every day, to be happy to make the effort with fans.
It's a great idea for them to be able to have such a personal experience with a high-profile star and one that many will treasure.

By Hindustan Times
Mumbai, March 16 -- Zee TV will run another manifestation of its reality show, Dance India Dance (DID), before DID Season Three flags off towards the year end.. Dancing Ke Superstars takes over from DID Doubles in the Friday-Saturday 9.30 pm slot. DID Doubles wraps up early next month.
The new show will feature popular faces from the two previous seasons of Dance India Dance, the current season of DID Doubles, and the first season of DID L'il Masters. There won't be eight-10 episodes devoted to auditions this time.
The channel has approached choreographer Geeta Kapoor, Marzi Pestonji and Remo D'Souza to mentor the dancers and judge the show. 'Grandmaster' Mithun Chakraborty is expected to continue with his 'Kya baat' act. Back on screen Siddhesh Pai, Jai Kumar Nair, Salman Khan, Prince, Alisha, Mayuresh, Vrushali, Shakti, Punit, Dharmesh, Binny, Kruti, Amrita, Amar, Kishore, Avneet, Atul, Vaishnavi and Jeetumoni have been approached to be a part of this show.
Manish Paul, Jay Bhanushali, Shveta Salve and Soumya Tandon have been approached to host it, two of them have reportedly been finalised. Ashish Golwalkar, head of non-fiction programming, Zee TV, confirms the news but refuses to confirm ames. "We can't think of a dance show without Mithunda. He's the lifeblood of all of Dance India Dance formats," he says. "We don't have a firm multiple season contract with him but he loves working with us and we love working with him. So, he will be on this show for sure. As for the other names, we're still in talks and will finalise everyone over the next few days."
Two weeks ago, Chakraborty had announced on DID Doubles that Dance India Dance Season Three auditions will start off soon across various cities in the country, and some parts of the world too. Golwalkar admits that true but the show will return only in the second half of the year.
"We have yet to speak to our mentors. Marzi and Rajeev have been wonderful, and Remo, Terrence (Lewis) and Geeta strongly supportive over two seasons of DID," says Golwalkar. "After we've figured out the dates with our mentors, we will move to the auditions for Dance India Dance 3. They're going to be extremely intensive."

Podolski targets Champions League
Lukas Podolski was delighted as FA Cup finalists Arsenal moved back into the top four of the Premier League for the next 24 hours at least following a 3-1 comeback victory over West Ham at the Emirates Stadium.
• Delaney: Back to winning ways
West Ham took the lead five minutes before the break as Matt Jarvis headed home from close range, but Podolski equalised four minutes later after picking up Santi Cazorla's cross in the penalty box. Olivier Giroud put the Gunners ahead 10 minutes after the break as he collected Thomas Vermaelen's fine ball and sent it through Adrian's legs to make it 2-1, and Podolski made the points safe with just over 10 minutes to go.
Podolski told Sky Sports 1: "After the FA Cup it was important that we switch on to the Premier League. We must fight for fourth place. We want to play next year in the Champions League -- it is very important and we must watch from game to game.
"Today was the first step which was very important, now let's focus on our next game."
Arsene Wenger's side, who reached the FA Cup final after a penalty shootout win over holders Wigan on Saturday, moved one point above fifth-placed Everton, who take on Crystal Palace on Wednesday night as the battle for the last Champions League spot intensifies.
Man of the match Cazorla knows how important their next match is, as they look to finish in the top four. Arsenal next take on Hull away on Sunday before facing Newcastle, West Brom and Norwich, and Cazorla said: "The most important thing tonight was the win, we need to win all the games."
On the link up with Podolski for the opener, he added: "It's easy when I have an understanding with Lukas, always in training every day. The most important thing was the win and now we freshen up for Sunday."
Wenger hailed the "perfect touch" of Giroud after his sublime finish after the striker's superb control and close-range finish putting them in front on 55 minutes.
Wenger was impressed with the composure of Giroud's finish, when he held off both Winston Reid and Andy Carroll to take down a high ball from Thomas Vermaelen on his left foot before rolling it between the goalkeeper's legs with his right.
"It was a perfect first touch," said Wenger. "You need that if you want to score the goal. What I like is that he used his upper body first to make some space and, despite that, he managed to have a great first touch and after that he finished well."
Giroud paid his own tribute to the victims of Hillsborough when he kissed the black armband and looked to the heavens as the Arsenal players celebrated.
"Olivier is a great guy with a great mentality," said Wenger of the France forward whose personal life put him under media scrutiny earlier in the season. He has gone through a difficult period, as you know, and I think it affected his game for a while and his confidence. You could see that he was refreshed tonight and that he was up for it.
"At halftime he came in, he was very, very down because he missed a great chance in the first half, but he responded very well in the second half because he's mentally a strong guy."
Wenger hopes the manner of the performance can lift his squad for the run-in.
He said: "Saturday and tonight improves the confidence of the team, but we know we have one advantage -- the picture is very clear in front of us. We know we have to win our games and hope that Everton will slip up somewhere, but let's focus on our job and not look too much at Everton.
"If we need that we will see when we need it, but at the moment we can only do it if we win our games, so let's focus on that."
For West Ham, who had not played since the home defeat to Liverpool on April 6, it meant their second loss in a row and Sam Allardyce's side are not yet -- mathematically at least -- safe from relegation. Six wins from their last 11 games has seen the Hammers climb away from trouble but they are currently seven points above the drop zone with four matches remaining.
Allardyce said: "We'd done so much up until then [when Arsenal scored the equaliser]. To get the goal I think we deserved it. But probably the one thing that disappointed me was that we didn't create more from our opportunities in the first half.
"We finally got a very good goal and I think that the key was to hold on to that until half time and then say to the lads, 'going out there now there's more pressure going to come on Arsenal, the home fans half-expect them to beat us today.'
"That would have been more pressure on them, but we released the pressure on them by making two errors for both the goals and allowed them to get in front."

"How are you coping with the Essendon thing?"
At first it was touching how many people asked me that in the week after the thoroughly reported verdict on the Bombers' drug/supplements saga.
But on reflection I realised my friends weren't sympathising with me. They were sports-lovers expressing their own pain, empathising because they felt sick of it all themselves. Footy fans were saddened, a little sullied by association – "Is it our passion which makes heroes do such villainous things?" They were deadened, disappointed. Regardless of where they stood on the sanctions handed down, they resented the whole issue for lessening their enjoyment of the AFL. Footy fatigue had set in.
Instead of being a relief from the strife of life, a thing to look forward to, if only to indulge cathartic complaint, AFL had become part of the strife itself, a matter to have a position on like a flawed government policy or violence in movies.
I had been asked, so I tried to answer. I am not one who believes professional sport has ever been the domain of lilywhites, or should be, and had long since accepted that sport is a business as well as an enriching, sometimes ennobling entertainment. Which means there will be politics, cheating, and human frailties of all kinds alongside heartening idealism, inspiring acts of sacrifice and courage and selflessness.
I didn't mind following the Bombers story, I told myself. It was the job, it was far from a dry story, and it wasn't as if I had been neck-deep in the lies and propaganda for months, and copping the personal abuse, like Caroline Wilson or Jake Niall.
I still loved watching the game, despite the endless rule changes and tactical innovations that led some grumpy contemporaries to become nostalgic for simpler times, I told myself.
For years I had heard older fans bemoaning change and declaring "I don't go any more", as if to label those still enchanted by footy as hidebound cultists refusing to accept the truth.
Though I had thoroughly enjoyed occasional tastes of lower grades – where not everyone could rely on AFL fitness levels to create packs all over the ground – I still wanted to see the best plying their wares. Didn't I?
I often ignored or forgave the league its inconsistencies and pragmatic excesses, made in its zealous fight for sporting supremacy in a crowded market. Maybe it was arrogant or out of touch at times. What did I care? It was not the government; it got the big things right – if I wanted to have arguments about ethics it would be about real issues, not sporting administration. Why concentrate on negatives?
But just before the lawyers raked in their fourth million in the Bombers brouhaha, it occurred to me that I had spent Sunday afternoon watching episode after episode of Boardwalk Empire instead of a couple of inconsequential round 22 matches.
And the lauded HBO drama was just OK, not the riveting, ground-breaking revelation I had hoped for. The show's milieu was a bit like the Essendon crisis – sordid, borderline unbelievable, demeaning, a sewer swirling every character inexorably down.
I had ignored live footy on TV. Was I also jaded? Was I sick of footy? Too many development teams and rote-learned, media-managed, cookie-cut-out no-name flankers? Too much money talk? Too many awful scandals?
I usually love picking out obscure talents in supposedly "bad" games. I used to find a pattern or contest to follow, a poetic undercurrent, in the most one-sided or scrappy contest.
Now I preferred to watch Steve Buscemi scowl and roll his eyes for three hours.
It occurred to me that my love affair with Australian ice hockey meant I had missed the choice AFL experience of attending neutral games, enjoying the game without the angst and involuntary duty of barracking.
The amateur Australian Ice Hockey League is up close and personal, like games used to feel at VFL home grounds of yore. You watch committed, fit, physical contact sport. Amazing skills executed at breathtaking speed under imminent physical pressure before an intimate, appreciative, passionate gathering of like-minded lovers of the game.
It's like footy on fast-forward.
It shook me that I might prefer amateur sport, where the players were no less committed but the connection was more intimate and the skulduggery less insidious.
It was troubling to have the sporting passion of a lifetime questioned.
So I watched myself closely at my AFL team's next game. No problem there. I loved being there. I loved getting there, listening to tram conversations about the game, watching fans converging from all points. I loved having my team come out onto the ground. All the magnets were still working. I loved all the tiny details of a day at the footy, the people you would not see anywhere else, the rude democracy and informality of it all. I yelled despite myself, I felt my veins tighten when a player took the wrong option or overcooked a pass to an open forward. It was all there.
So was I OK? Had my sporting world merely shrunk a little. Was I becoming picky in my old age, spoilt by the simple, rich pleasures of puck and ice?
It took a book to give me the answer.
Footy Town, edited by Paul Daffey and John Harms, is an Australian Rules book about everything but the AFL. It is about love of the game, playing it and being part of it as a fan or volunteer, at every level, across Australia and even overseas. It is written by articulate, unpretentious Aussies in love with their game and culture.
I dipped in at random and felt an affinity with a guy running a comp on an island off Arnhem Land, a mum watching her daughter in Boston, a washed-up dad feeling relief at knowing his time as a player was at an end after surviving a belated comeback. Injuries, nicknames, teams that cannot win and teams that win flags. Mateship, humour, modesty.
At the same time, footy took over from politics and we had an extraordinary final round of AFL matches that completely washed away the supplements crisis. The finals were upon us. If the AFL designed it this way, to minimise the distraction of the Bombers playing for no reward, GOOD!
We were back to the games themselves and a mouth-watering line-up of finals.
Maybe I was jaded. But the sports we love are more resilient than a crisis or two. Their essence is still the contest on the arena and the tale of it afterwards when we get together. That's what you care about, if you are a real footy fan, as I still am.
Maybe I had been jaded. But now I was armed with a protocol for such troubling times. If you are suffering footy fatigue, perhaps you can adopt it:
1. Go to an AFL game. Don't watch it on TV.
2. Read Footy Town, or visit the Footy Almanac site and get a dose of down-to-earth footy love.
3. Go to a local game. (Or an ice hockey match at the Icehouse.)
Boxed sets are for summer.

Deconstructing key play in 'special' comeback
TAMPA -- The most amazing play in perhaps the most amazing comeback in USF basketball history will be remembered as a game-tying 3-pointer with 0.2 seconds left by freshman Toarlyn Fitzpatrick, completing a comeback from nine points down with 40 seconds to play in the Bulls' overtime win Saturday at Providence.
And while Fitzpatrick had made only one 3-pointer all season, making his shot all the more incredible, coach Stan Heath will also remember the three players who got their hands on the ball in the frantic seconds before Fitzpatrick's shot.
"Each one of those players was special there," Heath said Tuesday.
The Bulls had just pulled within three points on a quick floater by guard Dominique Jones, who would finish the night with 46 points, a school record and the second-most in any game in Big East history. Jones, playing close to the baseline, got a hand on Providence's inbounds pass, and the ball bounced toward senior walk-on Ryan Kardok.
Kardok played only three minutes in Saturday's game, and was only in the game because center Jarrid Famous had fouled out with 25 seconds left. Seeing the loose ball, he dove in front of the Bulls' bench, tapping the ball back in Jones' direction. Jones took a step back to the 3-point line, and already had a career-high 37 points, including two baskets in the final 19 seconds of the game, but with a defender in his face, he lofted a pass to point guard Chris Howard in the backcourt.
Howard leaped to catch the pass with six seconds left, turned, took a dribble and two steps and went up, but with a defender on him, passed left to Fitzpatrick with four seconds left. The fifth-year senior, playing in his 58th Big East game, trusted a freshman still playing in his first month of conference basketball to hit an open shot he'd barely ever made in a game.
Fitzpatrick, whose first career 3-pointer came from the same spot on the court two games earlier, hesitated for a split-second, then fired the 3-pointer, which went through the net with 0.2 seconds left. It happened so fast that the official scorebook credits Jones with the assist. Heath admired his unselfishness as much as anything he showed on a career night.
"(Jones) could have easily fired up hard, hard shot, but he had the trust and awareness to make another pass to Chris Howard, who then made another pass to Toarlyn," he said.
The rest is, by comparison, a footnote, with Jones adding nine points in overtime to seal only the third road win ever in 38 Big East road games for the Bulls. Ask Heath what his best-ever comeback was before Saturday, and he has foggy details -- his Arkansas team at home against Alabama, down 16 or 17 in the second half, but his team chipped away over time, nothing like Saturday's memorable 40-second frenzy.
"That was a tremendous comeback, but it just didn't show how much we were able to get done in a very short amount of time," Heath said. "(Saturday) was a first, and very special."

Category: popularity of Zoey
Kelli Brady, creator of NameFreak!, combined spelling variations to come up with the real top 50 names on the new US popularity list. Her results show some names vastly more popular than it seems and a new Number 1 and Number 2 for boys.
Some names might actually be more popular than the SSA list shows because it ranks each spelling of a name separately, rather than counting all spelling variations — Sophia and Sofia, for example — together. To see how popular a name actually is, I have gathered the various spellings of each name in the 2012 Top 1000 and come up with a new Top 50 for each gender!
Why do I call this the Playground Analysis? Well, when you are on the playground with your kids and you hear a name, you don't know how it is spelled, but you do know how often you hear it.
For girls, the top 5 do not drastically change, but Zoey jumps from #20 to #7. Adalyn, Elena, Kaitlyn and Madelyn make huge gains after adding all of their various spellings.
Note: The main name listed is the spelling given to the most babies in 2012 (SSA Rank is in parentheses). The others are in alphabetical order. Opinions vary on how different spellings are pronounced. I went with my best judgment.

text: Who needs to win more this Saturday: Ohio State or Syracuse? Sports betting experts and college basketball betting experts are preparing to break down the East Regional final between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Syracuse Orange in Boston. This game, between the top two seeds in the East, offers a profile of two programs and coaches who have endured a lot of March Madness hardships over the years. Which team is under more pressure to win this game? If you want to make a sports bet on this game, you need to pause for a bit and consider the track records of the two coaches involved. Ohio State head coach Thad Matta has never beaten a higher-seeded team in the NCAA tournament. However, on the other side of the divide, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim has never made his way to the Final Four as a number one seed. You need to ask yourself which burden is greater. In all likelihood, you'll come to the conclusion that since Boeheim has been coaching for more than a third of a century – and since the NCAA tournament has been seeded since 1979 – it's Syracuse which is under more pressure to win. Simply by historical standards, Syracuse has come up short far more often than Ohio State in the NCAA tournament. The Orange have been a basketball power for the better part of three decades. Ohio State briefly flourished in the early 1990s and again in the late 1990s, but the Buckeyes were not a top-25 team each and every season. They rose and fell every few years, failing to maintain a place at the top of the sport's pecking order. If you want to compare Matta's failures and Boeheim's failures, it's clear that Boeheim's failures are more substantial. Syracuse has reached the Elite Eight this year for just the second time since 1996, the other occasion being in the Orange's 2003 national championship season. On a long-term historical basis, Syracuse needs this win more than Ohio State does. However, in a more short-term context, it would seem just as obvious that Ohio State needs to bring home this victory in Boston. Because Syracuse is playing this game without center Fab Melo, the Orange will be operating at a profound disadvantage against Ohio State big man Jared Sullinger and forward DeShaun Thomas. Ohio State has more size, more length, and more power near the basket. Ohio State is in very good position to clean up on the offensive glass, exploiting a major Syracuse weakness that existed even when Melo was in the Orange's starting lineup. This would certainly seem to be a case in which the two seed (the Buckeyes) should be favored over the top seed (the Orange). Ohio State is the best team remaining in its entire half of the NCAA tournament bracket. With North Carolina guard Kendall Marshall suffering from a right wrist that was only recently repaired, Ohio State should be the favorite to meet Kentucky in the national championship game on April 2 in New Orleans. If the Buckeyes lose this game, the Ohio State basketball program is going to carry an enormous weight into the start of the following season. In the long run, Syracuse needs this game more, but in the short run, Ohio State has to feel as though this is a must-win. It's a fascinating debate for the round known as the Elite Eight.

The businesses at a small Florida airport that the Secret Service orders closed each time President Donald Trump visits his Mar-a-Lago resort won't get any concessions.
U.S. Reps. Lois Frankel and Ted Deutch, both Florida Democrats, said Monday that Secret Service officials told Lantana Airport tenants during a closed-door meeting they cannot allow aircraft to take off from the facility.
The airport is about 6 miles southwest of Mar-a-Lago, and the Secret Service says the small, propeller-driven planes and helicopters based there could be a threat to the president's security even if the aircraft are directed away from the resort.

The taste is expressionless, the chocolate flavour could hardly be detected. Rice crunches are good. If you have no allergy, a simple good chocolate is much much better.

These bars on my order tasted old. I know the heat makes the chocolate bloom..but they did not have a nice chocolate taste like I am used to. My husband even thought they tasted oldish, stale. I love these bars and buy them all the time..but not sure if I will order them from iherb if they are going to taste old.

If you're looking for peace and quiet then this definitely the place to be.
Excellent room and very little noise despite knowing that the hotel was pretty much full to capacity due to the wedding we attended. Didn't eat within the hotel but seen some of the food being served and looked amazing. If you're a golfer then you don't need to go far as golf course on site and fairly quiet course and despite the time of year, it was in excellent condition with work continuing on improving the greens and bunkers. Would definitely recommend

This place could be great, but customer service lets it down badly
We hadn't paid very much at all, so thought we'd got a bargain.
Not really.
The room was clean but a bit drab - and really cold. Also noisy from some kind of generator or kitchen extractor fan outside our room, which ran all night. Even with earplugs in we could hear it. We wanted to eat in the pub, as we liked the look of the menu, but were told at reception that it's not open in the evenings in the winter. The website does not say this. We ate in the bar instead. The food was OK but overpriced for the portion size. Customer service needs a major overhaul:
1.I had actually received a courtesy call the previous day asking me about dining options. They left me a message but when I tried to call back no-one would pick up the phone (restaurant or reception) and there was no facility to leave a message, even though the recorded voice said that there was. I submitted a query through the website instead but did not ever receive a reply. 2. On arrival at the desk to check in staff did not look up from cashing up or apologise for keeping us waiting. 3. On asking about the lockers in the swimming pool we were told that there were plenty available. There were actually two that were free (despite hardly anyone else being around), each requiring £1 to lock them. It wouldn't have been hard to have told me this in advance, before I entered the changing rooms. As it was I had already got unchanged before realising I didn't have any such coins.
4. When we checked out we mentioned the noise in the room. The lady said that she would get maintenance to look at it but did not apologise.

Spa weekend getaway
Linden Hall is a lovely looking hotel and we expected a good 4* accomodation.
Our 2 night stay was reasonably priced (last minute offer) however, the cost of food and drinks was expensive. On arrival we were told the cocktail bar was open 24 hours. When we arrived for a drink at 3pm we were told the cocktail bartender didn't start until 3:30. I ordered a small glass of white wine instead which cost £9. Our evening 'bar' meal choice was limited as they didn't have everything on the menu even though it was only 6:30pm - finished with a coffee that cost £4.15. They also forgot to include our dinner guests pre-dinner drinks on the meal bill (apparently the bar cash register doesn't link to the restaurant register) so when we checked out the following day, we had to pick up their bar tab. Overall, there were lots of little issues (including a £10 over charge on a spa treatment) that left us feeling like we were ripped off. The room was nice but basic requiring some refurb - especially the windows that didn't close properly and had flaking paint. The bathroom and shower also looked quite dated. Perhaps a small detail but a hotel of this standard should not provide packets of instant coffee in your room - coffee machines are not that expensive.

Great long weekend
The venue is lovely and the grounds are beautiful.
I rang reception several times 1 day whilst we were out, holding for 5 minutes each time, and they never picked up. The receptionist was very dismissive when I told her. The waitress at dinner was very offhand and didn't apologise when she forgot my drinks order. She ruined our evening but we only got a free drink when I complained to the manager, rather than a free meal.

Good but not really up to the price tag
Hotel badly needs renovating.
Some parts are nice but others are not, eg spa changing rooms which were like my local council swimming pool. Staff were lovely but they are let down by the accommodation quality. Premium price but not premium rooms or spa facilities.

Imagine a movie based on a game. Sure, it has been done with Real Steel derived from the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots so it makes perfect sense to create one for Battleship. They have even made a special Movie Edition.
You would wonder if this could be successful but it is worth viewing just to see how they pulled it off. A battleship/museum is the hero, saving the planet from evil aliens. Starring Alexander Skarsgard, Rhianna operating the big guns and David Schwimmer for comic relief. CGI runs amok throughout the film where there are plenty of robot weapons and vehicles. The best part, however, is that most of the ammo used to attack are giant pegs and you can play along yelling, "Hit!" every time one meets its mark.

It isn't enough that they put out new products every time a new movie or craze is born. Lego is now taking its building acumen and turning it into games. One of the first is Robo Champ that not only teaches kids how to build a bot, its gameplay is thinly disguised as a contest at a robot factory. The first player to assemble one correctly wins. One of the rules involves stealing your needed pieces from another because you can never learn too early that thievery pays.

Vtech's Cogsley is a clever learning bot for kids aged 3 to 6 years old. He comes with 30 computer chips that trigger responses, including sounds, images, movement and LCD animation.

He needs 4 AA batteries (included.)

Egads -- we were wrong. Putting out an early holiday ad for Let's Rock! Elmo was only the precursor for LOL Elmo.

Holiday commercials get earlier every year. Just last week we saw Elmo popping up on TV ads. This year they are re-introducing "Let's Rock! Elmo", the version that sings six different songs and comes with drums, tambourine and microphone. We suppose that toddlers continue to fall for the red Muppet, unlike parents who are probably sick of hearing him giggle endlessly.
Velveeta's latest hero for their Shells & Cheese commercial is "that guy at the mall that sells the remote-control helicopter" They dig the dude so much that they set up an interactive site. We don't know if we share his taste in cheese food products, but we do admire his toys. Get yours!

Sega's HomeStar planetarium came out several years ago, so we guess it was time to redesign, repackage and reintroduce it into the republic in R2-D2 form. The final frontier can be projected on ceiling or wall and needs 4 AAA batteries (not included) for 3 hours of viewing time with a range of 4.9 - 7.5 ft. The claim is that you will see 10,000 stars including the Death Star. At a size of 3.9 x 8.3 x 3.5", the ad is a bit cheesy and despite what Sega's site claims, we believe that both boys and girls will love it.

Circus moves to Hartford, injured performers still hospitalized
The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus pulled out of Providence Monday, but eight of its performers remained behind in the hospital after a horrifying fall.
Rhode Island Hospital reported that four of the women were in serious condition and four were in good condition Tuesday morning.
"I don't wish that even on my enemies," said Roiter Neves, whose daughter, Widny, is one of the injured acrobats.
Speaking to NBC 10 from Brazil, Neves said his daughter was hanging upside in the act when the equipment and performers crashed to the floor of the Dunkin' Donuts Center during the Sunday morning performance.
He said Widny has a broken arm and back injuries.
"I feel relieved because it was very, very bad. I just say thank God to have her here now," Roiter Neves said.
Roiter Neves is himself a retired circus performer.
"We are a big family around the world. Everybody is praying for these beautiful girls," he said.
Providence firefighter Scott Derry was already in the Dunkin' Donuts Center working a detail when the accident happened.
"What I saw was mass trauma and broken bones," Derry said. "They weren't saying much. They were crying and in shock."
First responders saw compound fractures to legs and arms and head injuries too.
"One of the girls looked up at me and very calmly but sadly said, I can't feel my legs," Providence police Sgt. Sean Carroll said.
But they were all conscious and emergency workers said the performers were lucky the injuries were not worse.
Investigators have zeroed in on what went wrong, saying a carabiner clip holding up the equipment snapped.
"It's a metal 4- or 5-inch clamp that failed. We don't know if it's the exclusive reason why the collapse of that performance," said Providence Public Safety Commissioner Steven Pare.
City officials say it was not their responsibility to inspect the equipment beforehand.
The remaining shows in Providence Sunday and Monday were canceled, but the shows will go on in Hartford at the end of the week. The hair-hanging act will not be performed.

The Inconsistencies with the Pro-Phoenix route
There has been alot of anti-EDEN and pro-Phoenix media in the last few days i hope this can clear up the issues
If we become Pro-Phoenix we will get control of the country back
This has been said many a time however there is not a shred of evidence save Bass Junkies word. Someone who left eAustralia in its time of need to join the eUK which is at this moment is our enemy. AnD is not run by Phoenix. It's a group of Indonesians privately running a PTO op. We have no guarantee that the PTO will stop if we become Pro-Phoenix.
We will get WA back eventually through negotiations.
Excuse me? The only time we have ever been in control of WA was at the start of the game and the multiple times EDEN has spent tanking for us to keep/take it. Indonesia has never given WA back peacefully in the history of this game. If you think Indonesia will give up their new most valuable region then well I don't think you're in a mental position that's ready to decide the fate of the Nation.
Negotiations also imply that we will have to give something away. Like Northern Territory or money (remember we are broke atm). Remember Russia? They were a Member of PEACE and Hungary and Indonesia actually made them pay ALOT of gold to get back the Urals and Western Siberia which are Russian home territories.
EDEN has forgotten us and are just using us.
At this moment there are hundreds of EDEN ATO units with Australian Citizenship. Every Month they work to get as Many Senators in as possible, keeping our current Parties from PTO, getting our Candidate in as President.
Using us? EDEN doesn't need us. They can work fine without us yet they still help us. They are still helping us even though we have nothing to give them. We don't even have a country yet they are still helping us. Indonesia is our enemy. Who is helping us fight them EDEN or Phoenix?
EDEN are planning to PTO us because we are starting to question them
If they had enough People with Australian citizenship to PTO us then we wouldn't be under a PTO by AnD. *sigh*
Plus I'd like to see any evidence before randomly going on some kind of EDEN hate rampage. This is either trolling or propaganda to try to turn the population anti-EDEN.
Trying to keep this nation from being traitors and scum
I agree fully with this. eSA is in the exact same position you guys are in and we still fight on. I know you eAussies would never be so quick to give up and just join Phoenix; you're stronger than that. Keep up the fight!
Where is your evidence tim that Bass CAN'Tget the country back, other then "he hasn't told us"
1. You have no idea what I have done behind the scenes, absolutely no idea, so please stop spreading your filthy lies.
2. WA has been more harm than good - it's what started this mess in the first place. I'm sure we can work something out at a later date, but why the hell would you be worried about WA when we don't even have the rest of the country? That's just moronic.
3. The EDEN "ATO" is a token gesture, and they threatened us with the use of the ATOers against us at a later date if we decided to join Phoenix. Not exactly something friends would do.
4. I take it you haven't seen the things Poland can do? Probably not because you are naive and living in a closed EDEN propaganda world.
where is basses evidence that he can. we are expected to believe that us magically becoming pro-Phoenix will all of a sudden make the PTO go away. yeah right
1. filthy lies? lol this is exactly my point. you havent said anything your just bullshitting and you expect everyone to believe you. btw excellent ad hominem
2. no Indonesia conquering us and then when they are out played PTOing us using multi accounts is what got us here. dont twist the facts
3. evidence again we have to rely on your word alone. and its not exactly a reliable one seeing as your planning on making us all into traitors
4. if Poland was willing to do those things we wouldnt be PTOed atm. logic fail
russia doesn't pay anything for getting their region..
they just give PEACE some golds to attack the region.. and for the tanking funds it's directly from national bank of indonesia and other peace nations..
russia pay alot for urals and WSR = LIE
and i joined in the campaign for freeing russia.. and i know where the money goes.. 🙂
because MM said if there's indonesian in ausrep, they're good indonesian.. \o/
do you support the PTO of Australia? if your answer is yes then your not a good Indonesian
neutral.. \o/
i don't know about the WA RW.. because i'm still in hibernate mode in that time.. so i don't want to judge other country for what i didn't feel.. \o/
ok answer this then. at this current time do you approve of AnD taking control of eAustralia?
its not a difficult question
hmm.. if aus don't write so many bad things about indonesian in general.. i will totally disagree with AnD.. but when i see lot of article judging all indonesian is bad.. hmm.. i remain neutral.. i don't support it (i have good friends in eAus).. but i don't see it as a thing that must be stopped (because indonesian was judged by eAustralian as bad ppl)..
its only due to Indonesians PTOing and not giving our territories that we are writing bad things about you 😕 you conquer us and PTO us effectively destroy us and then get upset when we dont like it and get angry
but i see the bad things eAus write on the article as the reason why the AnD PTOing eAus.. actually someone says about eAus is backstabbing and many other things but i don't feel it directly so in the start of AnD i disagree with them.. but as so many bad article about indonesian.. i can't tell which side i am.. it's better for being neutral.. \o/
I think we need to grow the &%%$$# up. Atm we deserve to be pto'd....
Eventually people will realize that this is a game and start playing it like one.
exactly its a game and phoenix is more than happy to lie and cheat to win. this is against everything Australians are.
about lie and cheat.. eden do the same too tim.. hehe
remember skynet? 3000++ poland bots in argentina? 3000++ in serbia? and more in many country even in poland.. ( 🙂 )
phx 'cheats' is nothing if u compare it to that bots..
Yeah, so many bad articles about Indonesian (in RL!) are the reason I have my AnD avatar 😎
have you done anything do try to despell the things we are saying about you? your still PTOing us, your still using multi accounts in multiple nations near Indonesia.
well you said 'phoenix is more than happy to lie and cheat to win'.
How about poland? They are part of eden and they are cheaters. So what are you going to called those poland bots then? Your honorable ally?
i dont condone Indonesia or Poland. just because poland does it does not make it acceptable to do. stop trying to justify cheating
Phoenix only wants Australia to join them so that you would be given a nation in name. In reality, for as long as you remained a member of that alliance, you would simply be a resource haven for Indonesia. How many Indonesian presidents have banned for multiaccounting? Phoenix has only it's own greedy interests in Australia. EDEN may not be white knights immune from all cheating and greed but at the very least EDEN does not prey on it's own members, or simply ignore their own written agreements (France and Hungary, Russia's quietly buying WSR back from Indonesia).
Do not become the next Vichy France.
only 4 Candidates. Sandygee was removed because of large numbers of multi accounts used in the elections
Yeah right.. 3 days after the election eh? Only eGod knows what happened
Phoenix won't give any high resource region to a weaker country such as Australia even if you join them. They only care about their stronger members with large populations and armies.
I know this because China tried really hard to join PEACE GC on the condition that we get at least one of our high iron regions back. Guess what, that didn't happen because we were weaker than Iran thus deserved none of the high irons.
EDEN has forgotten us and are just using us. = fact. PHOENIXMAXX!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!Originally Posted by felix;3876610;
This is one strange night when it comes to seeing anyone deserving to go - there's no one who is terrible, for me, even if I never liked some.
I LOVE that Adam Lambert is on! He is a good mentor.
Tonight, I am fed up with 2 things -
One, the judges don't seem to stick to the truth but to their pre-arranged determination to sink some contestants ie. Andrew & Siobhan! And,
Two, the way too many judges and people make up baloney about Siobhan's "screeching"!
C'mon! There was no screeching!!!!
Yes, I agree that ever since the night they ripped into Siobhan, a few weeks back, she's been afraid to let loose. And yes, tonight's song wasn't her at her top, letting it all out. But she never screeched, she was controlled and with the best voice here! I love her, and yes, loved the song best when she soared, but she is still a top scorer and deserves winning! And at least, staying til Top 2! She is amazing!
Now, even those I don't think particularly wonderful, were good tonight!
I will stand up and say that they threw Andrew under the bus, tonight. He changed up the song, and actually did well! No, imo, he's not a "contender," but he was good! He brought something new tonight and deserves to stay! He changed it up and sounded good, if not near best here!
And Aaron was adorable, didn't come close to "karaoke" and sounded delightfully bluesy and I liked him tonight. Just adorable!
Lee, who is not even close to a showman, to give Elvis his due, actually sounded his absolute best! Bluesy and terrific in his singing, even if he can't garner my enthusiasm, and doesn't bring any of his own.
Mike, has a beautiful R&B and Soul voice and while doing the song as a slow ballad, also was heartfelt and a solid, good performance.
Even Tim surprised me tonight. It just sounded pretty! And vulnerable!
I thought Crystal was amazing tonight. I was terribly disappointed she didn't get into any Elvis-style showmanship, but loved, loved, loved her vocal performance.
And again, let me say, Siobhan deserves a whopping fanbase! Whether she chooses best song or not, she is the most amazing vocalist here! LOVE her and hope she does great.
With 2 people leaving, tonight is going to be difficult and dangerous for a number of contestants.
Andrew is better than he's credited. Casey is a star. Crystal is amazing, vocally. Siobhan is SUPER-Fantasic, Lee is growing and sounded his best, and Big Mike is a Soul Star.
Siobhan deserves landing in the Top 2. I pray she makes it, and though Andrew is probably in trouble, he did a really good job tonight and shouldn't be going!
just voted 4 times straight for Crystal without a single busy signal -- that makes me nervous!!
I wouldn't worry... I don't think that many people are voting....Originally Posted by scruffy;3876618;
and I will say, as the above poster said, Siobhan didn't have a screechy note in her song. I wasn't a big fan of it, but it was sung well.
"To err is human, to arr is a pirate"
andrew was terrible!!! it is time for him to go, before tim urban even!
my wish for the bottom three is
with andrew and siobhan leaving, but i'd be okay with aaron/tim going too
I feel so badly for Siobhan. I love her voice, her uniqueness, and her approach to music. The judges are to blame here because they're giving her such terrible feedback. And just when I thought Kara was starting to control herself with her comments she just threw it all away and droned on and on andonandonandon......UGH!
I voted for Siobhan because she absolutely deserves to stay. My top performers tonight were Crystal, Lee, Casey and Siobhan. Tim pleasantly surprised me. I think Andrew's leaving, and Katie. Or maybe Aaron. My heart still goes out to Siobhan.
Yes - ALL of that! You hit the nail on the head! To me, that was horrid, even by Tim standards.Originally Posted by Willowwisp;3876416;
I honestly don't know what to think of the judges. I feel like I'm in some kind of mind warp game.
Andrew's Hound Dog reminded me a little of TUrb's Under My Thumb - a little Kokomo vibe to it. Only it didn't creep me out quite as much as Tim's.
I though I was liking Adam's mentoring, but I didn't like the performances that resulted from it. Not sure what to make of that. This was one of the worst nights of the season for me. And I haven't been systematically panning the season as some have.
I have to agree with you - one of the better performances, vocally and style-wise, of the night, in my opinion. At least Aaron gives it his all and mixes it up a bit...actually performs.Originally Posted by angelic_one2002;3876474;
Was it just me, or did Kara look...and talk...and act...like she'd just rolled out of bed and smoked a big doobie before stepping onstage? She has that whole slumped over with mussed up hair, "Man, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah (forever, ad infinitum, ad nauseum)" thing going on.

Grayson County
Texas, USA
'Dipper' was one of our beloved dogs. We kept him from a litter of pups that we had and named him "Dipstick' because it looked like his tail had been dipped in something.
He was a real sweet good natured dog. When his mother passed away he was still a puppy so we didnt want him growing up without a pal so we went to the animal shelter and got a part weenie dog that was a pup too so they could grow together.
We live out in the country and everyone around here knew who Dipper and Toby was. They made their excursions on a daily basis and no telling how many miles in a days time they'd go. From this house to that house getting fed by all the neighbors and doing their running in the woods.
"Dipper" died by a neighbors german shepherd. We had considered taking in the german shepherd (Max) not long ago because it seemed he needed a home. One neighbor didnt want him anymore so another neighbor took him and we dont really know what happened other than Max got aggressive and killed our dog.
We are so sad and poor Toby just lies by Dippers grave and whimpers. We are trying to get him occupied with other things to get his mind off his buddy being gone. Dipper will be missed forever. We buried him in our yard up by my forcythia shrubs. Goodbye Dipper. We Love You.

When the Titans drafted Cortland Finnegan in the seventh round of the 2006 draft some people wondered what position he would play. A safety in college, Finnegan was listed as a "DB" by the Titans when they drafted him. They touted his 40-yard times of 4.33 and 4.35 at his Pro Day and hinted he could also be a cornerback.
Finnegan quickly settled in as the nickelback during training camp last year, moving ahead of Vincent Fuller, who started the 2005 season as the nickel before breaking his ankle. The decision to play Finnegan at nickel paid immediate dividends, which continued throughout the season.
The Titans also have three other experienced nickelbacks, which gives them a variety of options in the secondary. These options are dependent on other moves the Titans may make at corner and safety.
First, here's a look at the players, to be followed by the options the Titans have.
Cortland Finnegan – The Titans' best nickel, he might also be their second-best cornerback. Jeff Fisher was asked why he didn't move Finnegan to corner last year, and he was kind to Reynaldo Hill by saying that doing so would weaken both positions. Finnegan did start one game at corner when Hill was sidelined with an injury and played fairly well. He may have the speed of a corner and the instincts of a safety, but he can also hit like a linebacker, despite his relatively small size.
Vincent Fuller – I sang the praises of Fuller as a rookie both before and after he broke his ankle. Both a safety and corner in college at Virginia Tech, he was the starting nickel in his rookie year. Vince didn't recover sufficiently from the broken ankle as expected, opening the door for Finnegan to win the job last year and allowing Lamont Thompson to remain the starter at free safety. Fuller played mainly in dime packages and on special teams last year.
Andre Woolfolk – A first-round draft selection in 2003, Woolfolk has been a major league bust thus far. Sidelined due to injuries for much of his first two years, he finally became a full-time starter at cornerback in 2005, only to lose his job to rookie seventh-round draft pick Hill. Woolfolk has had more success playing inside as the nickel than he had outside at corner. A big and strong guy for a corner, he can be physical in the slot. This is the final year on Woolfolk's contract.
Michael Waddell – Nicknamed "Rabbit" for his speed, Waddell has never lived up to the expectations for him to be a productive corner and return specialist. He missed all of last season with a knee injury, which he claimed occurred while playing at home with his son. A fourth-round pick in 2004, Waddell has to do a lot to give the Titans a reason to keep him on the roster this year. He has some experience at nickel and was productive as a gunner in the 2005 season.
Since Finnegan, Fuller, and Woolfolk can all play another position besides nickel, the Titans have several options on who plays where. The versatility of Finnegan and Fuller will be helpful here.
If the Titans are unable to upgrade the corner position through free agency or the draft, Finnegan could move to corner.
If the Titans decide to part ways with free safety Lamont Thompson, Fuller and Calvin Lowry will compete for that job.
Woolfolk could challenge for the nickel job if Finnegan and Fuller move. He should remain on the team as a backup corner, if nothing else.
Waddell's time as a Titan is likely over. Not even a good showing again as a gunner should save his job.
My best guess six months in advance is that the Titans will upgrade at corner, allowing them to keep Finnegan at nickel. I hope to see Fuller back at full speed and full strength to compete with Lowry for the free safety spot. Woolfolk can provide depth and special teams play but has no upside.

Use Award Programs for Recognition and Revenue
Published on 8/18/2015 by
Use Award Programs for Recognition and Revenue
We see them all the time in print and online, and there are numerous TV shows that celebrate their existence. Yes, we are talking about awards. The movie industry has the Oscars, music has the Grammys, the Webbys honor online excellence – there are even awards for bird watching and grass growing. All of these offer winners (or their estates) bragging rights in their particular field or industry, but that's just the beginning. Winning an award is a huge marketing opportunity that cannot be missed, and the resulting activity can create substantial new revenue streams for publishers.
Monetize your Award Program
Wright's Media started developing and monetizing award programs for publishers a decade ago at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), but the idea transcends industries – everyone loves to win awards! The process is fairly consistent when we are partnering with a publications - they first identify the nominees and their products. Once the publications select the winners, they are notified and (hopefully) begin planning how to integrate the award into their marketing campaigns. It is easy for the winners to publicize their awards by using the wide variety of promotional products available (print and digital) that include the award logo. Companies can purchase any or all of these products, or just the rights to use the award logo. While many awards are determined annually, some are quarterly or even weekly. You can see the licensing potential here for ongoing, annuity-like revenue for the award sponsors.
Here are just a few of the products and use ideas for award winners, which all generate income for publishers:
- Product packaging
- In-store displays
- Media – print, billboards and broadcast
- Company email signatures
- Business cards
- Lapel pins
- Website homepage
- Social media profiles
- Company stationary
- Company shirts and other promotional items
- Job listings
- Other digital uses (ex. press releases)
Your Customers are Working for You
And believe it or not, the good news doesn't end with the extra income. How about having your customers contribute to your ongoing branding campaign? That is what happens when you enter into a licensing agreement. Publishers collect licensing fees while the brand is seen by thousands (millions) more people because it is plastered on all sorts of packaging, print and online ads, displays and countless promotional items. And it's a total win-win, since the award winner is simultaneously getting increased exposure and credibility by displaying the brand. After all, isn't an award basically a testimonial (the most trusted form of advertising)?
Wright's Media is a full-service content licensing solutions provider representing approximately 1,200 publications worldwide. Working with print and online publishers in both business-to-consumer and business-to-business industries, Wright's Media helps grow their revenue through creative content licensing and brand management.

GARDEN GROVE, California (AP) — The Crystal Cathedral's pastor says her congregation will relocate and the Orange County megachurch will get a new name.
Senior Pastor Sheila Schuller Coleman said Sunday that the ministry will be renamed Hope Center Of Christ.
In a video posted on the Crystal Cathedral website, Schuller Coleman said an announcement regarding the new location will be made in the next few weeks.
The financially struggling church sold its iconic glass-paned home to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange County last month to emerge from federal bankruptcy protection.
Its founder, Dr. Robert Schuller, retired in 2006 after seeing a weekly prayer service at an Orange County drive-in movie theater evolve into a global televangelist empire.
On Saturday, Robert Schuller announced he was stepping down from the Crystal Cathedral board of directors.
