It may come as no surprise to some younger monarchists - or, indeed, those who love a fairytale romance.
But, it's official. William Windsor is the United Kingdom's most popular royal, pipping the post to even Queen Elizabeth II, who has this year enjoyed month after month of Jubilee-themed celebrations.
King's College London/Ipsos MORI's newest popularity poll found that 62 per cent of respondents named William, second-in-line to the crown, as their favourite Windsor. The Queen was in number two spot, followed by the crown's cheekiest chap, Prince Harry.
Beating all other royals to number fourth spot is the baby of the bunch, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge who has made an indomitable impact on the family name since joining its flanks just 19 months ago.
With general support for the monarchy higher than it has been for years - 60 per cent believe the crown will still be going strong in half a century's time - the report, published in the London Evening Standard, has quantified the charm offensive we've seen from the royals since 2011's Royal Wedding.
From there, it was full steam ahead with the newlyweds' North American tour, then Jubilee year festivities, the Olympics and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's recent Asia and South Pacific tour.
It's been a heady, and ferociously successful, whirlwind for the duo, withstanding even the best attempts by a telephoto lens-wielding hack in France to put a downer on proceedings.
Ipsos MORI director and professor of public opinion at King's College, Roger Mortimer, told the Standard that many may like to see the crown bypassing next-in-line, the Prince of Wales, who gained just 21 per cent of votes despite the positivity from his recent Australia tour with wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
"A lot of people would like the idea of William succeeding straight away. He is young and good looking and popular" said Mortimer.
"I think young people can see something of themselves in William and (wife) Kate. They can see the monarchy looking more modern than it did beforehand."

J.W.'s News Update: Wednesday January 18, 2012
The second son of a Southwest Arkansas couple has died in the war in Afghanistan. The defense department says 34 year old Sgt. 1ST Class Benjamin Wise died Sunday
at a medical center in Germany after being injured in a small arms fight back on
January 9th. Wise's brother Jeremy was killed in a terrorist attack in Afghanistan in December 2009.
The two brothers parents are Dr. Jean and Mary Wise of Patmos in Hempstead County Arkansas. A defense department statement said the family thanked soldiers for their expressions of sympathy.
Meanwhile the Bridge over Interstate 30 at Stateline Avenue in Texarkana is likely soon be be named the Kyle Brandon Stout/Zaniah Creamer Memorial Bridge in honor of the two local residents who died in Afghanistan.
Lawyers for the state of Texas are arguing that Democrats and minority groups had ample time to weigh in on redistricting maps that are being challenged in federal court. It's the start of a two week hearing on the maps in Washington. Districts
are re-drawn every 10 years to reflect populations changes in the U.S. Census.
But the Justice department, Democrats, and minority groups say the new Texas
maps do not adequately distribute political power among the states minority

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A statewide search continued Monday for 22-year-old Lloyd Alan Wabaunsee, accused of killing Kevin Stanley in the home he rented.
Wabaunsee is said to idolize David Tiscanero, the man who killed two Topeka police officers last December 16.
Shawnee County Sheriff Herman Jones says that connection is troubling.
"[T]he two officers that were killed, when we see the support from the community that know that's wrong, we don't tolerate those types of things [and] you have someone that idolizes that... That brings up a red flag," Jones said.
Jones says there is a possibility Wabaunsee may be prone to more violence.
"If he idolizes that, is this something he could do as well?" Jones pondered. "It heightens our attention to the individual [...], but it also heightens the attention of the community as well," he said.
It's not the only connection Wabaunsee has to David Tiscareno.
A woman officers identified as Desiree Shopteese is reportedly with Wabaunsee as he tries to avoid capture.
Shopteese was listed as Tiscareno's fiancee in his obituary.
When Tiscareno shot and killed Corporal David Gogian and Officer Jeff Atherly at a Dillons parking lot, two women were with him in the car.
Jones would not comment on whether Shopteese was among them.
"I'm not at liberty to release those names right now," Jones said.
Tiscareno himself was killed by a KBI tactical response team.
Desiree Shopteese has a record in Shawnee County, mainly domestic issues, traffic violations and an eviction from a residence she shared with Tiscanero.
"A lot of this is just bringing the investigation together there, so we can present that to the District Attorney's office," Jones said.
Jones told 13 News he expects to release more information on the Mayetta fatal shooting this week, including whether the women in the vehicle at Dillons in December would be charged with any crimes.
Lloyd Wabaunsee is described as a Native American Male, 5'9" tall, weighing 180 lbs. He is believed to be driving a 1993 GMC pickup and in the company of Desiree Shopteese.
Authorities say Wabaunsee is armed and extremely dangerous.
Anyone with information on the Mayetta murder is asked to call their local law enforcement agency or the Jackson County Sheriff's Office at (785) 364-2251.

Orotine - The Best Tested Creatine in the World!!
Orotine - The Best Tested Creatine in the World!!
The Worlds Best Creatine!
Check out these studies: Circulation - Journal of the American Heart Association
OROTINE Capsules
The Worlds Best Creatine!
For just a moment use your imagination. Create a picture of a legal and safe nutritional supplement that was so potent and so effective that it would allow you to surpass barriers in building strength, increasing stamina and lean body mass. It would be void of negative side effects and it would produce real results you could see and feel. With the perfected infusion of knowledge and a little imagination, that vision is now the reality.
MAN Sports proudly introduces you to The KING of CREATINES - OROTINE - a combination of two revolutionary performance and physique enhancing compounds in one -creatine orotate (creatine bound to orotic acid). As a result this form of creatine produces more dramatic increases in power, stamina and lean body mass than any form of creatine, in fact no form of creatine compares to OROTINE and we mean none! Dont be fooled by the hype of so called soluble and ultra bioavailable forms of creatine. No single creatine compound on the market comes close to producing the dramatic effects of OROTINE. OROTINE is The Worlds Best Creatine! As a matter of fact MAN Sports creatine orotate is so effective at enhancing and replenishing energy it has even been used in studies to help with improving the condition, procurement and preservation of beating and non beating hearts for transplantation.
Contains 2 scientifically proven performance enhancing ingredients in one compound; Creatine and Orotic Acid The only form of creatine that increases - Beta-Alanine production That means far more power and endurance than other forms of creatine Boosts muscle phosphocreatine and creatine levels more effectively than creatine alone Increases protein synthesis and lean body mass Supports glucose uptake and glycogen storage leading to fuller
and hard muscles No stomach discomfort or BLOAT Ideal for sprinters, fighters, bodybuilder and athletes of all walks of life Stacks well with BBLUEPRINT, PRIMAL MALE, BODYOCTANE and other MAN Sports products.
Creatine has been scientifically proven effective in maintaining ATP (the fuel that powers your muscles) levels and increasing recovery during and following high intensity exercise. It is also a proven cell-volumizer. What is unknown to many of creatine is that it functions similar in fashion to carnosine in that it helps with the maintenance of cellular pH. Maintaining proper cell pH enhances performance! More evidence suggests creatine can reduce muscle damage from endurance exercise making it a great supplement for endurance and power athletes alike. Orotic Acid (OA) is a precursor of pyrimidine and nucleic acids which are vital for optimal cell functioning and energy metabolism. OA enhances and maintains ATP pools in three ways:
The production of ribose moieties (R-1-P and R-5-P) for the salvage or de novo synthesis of purine nucleotides by a process know as "ribose transfer". Many of you may remember ribose (a sugar component of ATP) supplementation being touted as an enhancer of high intensity repetitive exercise performance. For a quick recap on the energy producing
pathways of ribose seen
The way OA enhances the formation of ATP is by providing the direct precursor to phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) a key energy-supplying compound in the de-novo synthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides (I know that's a real mouthful). The reserve of PRPP is poor because of the low capacity of the pentose phosphate pathway. Therefore the generation of ribose-5-phosphate (R-5-P) the immediate precursor to PRPP ribose supply can be enhanced with OA and as a result greater ATP regeneration.
The second pathway is by increasing the pool of Uridine Monophosphate (UMP), which requires ATP to convert to further downstream pyrimidine nucleotides (UTP & CTP). By increasing the levels of these nucleotides the draw on ATP reserves to synthesize them is decreased thereby enhancing the availability of ATP for other metabolic process such as energy and contractile producing pathways.
The final pathway is by means of elevation of intracellular glycogen stores. These elevated glycogen stores generated from a greater uptake of glucose lead to an enhanced capacity for ATP resynthesis from anaerobic glycolysis. What this means is more energy for hard working muscles. Evidence also suggests OA can be used to synthesize carnosine (the ultimate buffering nutrient) by elevating its natural precursor beta-alanine. This is illustrated in the chart below:
More recent studies have shown OA supplementation enhances endurance performance and exercise capacity. OA also has been shown to augment muscle hypertrophy and to increase the contractile capacity of muscle.
As you can clearly see this Creatine/Orotic Acid complex truly is The KING of CREATINES! and pushes the power to fight muscle fatigue to completely new levels. Not only do you get the scientifically proven power, endurance and recovery of creatine supplementation, but you also get the high energy, power, recovery and growth stimulating properties of Orotic Acid.

A few of my favorites from the upcoming Law & Order-themed art show at Gallery Meltdown curated by Brandon Bird:
For twenty years, the fictional prosecutors and detectives of "Law & Order" have navigated literally hundreds grotesque tragedies, moral quandries, and improbable crimes.
Each piece is an artist's interpretation of a one-line episode summary from the DirecTV program guide. Like the series that inspired them, they are sometimes straightforward and sometimes offer a twist; sometimes they contain no easy answers, and sometimes they are just plain goofy.
"These are Their Stories" will run July 24 to July 30, 2010 at Gallery Meltdown, 7522 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90046.
Join us for a cake & ice cream reception July 28 at 8:00 pm.

You guys have it all wrong. This is a good thing. Apple isn't competing with Google. They are just trying to protect users from malware apps that turn users into evil androids! Have you people not seen Blade Runner?
And what kills me is that all of the iPhone limitations are caused by Apple being shitty company. Seriously, Apple, why the fuck can't I sync my iPod Touch on Linux? It's not that nobody is willing to make a program to do it; its that Apple went out of their way to make this impossible. It's the first and last Apple product I'll ever make the mistake of buying.
I was rather irritated to find that my nice, new 16GB iPod Touch, shiny and gorgeous and amazing as it is, does not present as a USB mass storage device, unlike pretty-much every other mp3 player including most iPods to date. Great, so now I need to carry a USB memory stick with me as well? Thanks Apple.
You can use libimobiledevice and ifuse to mount your iPod Touch under Linux, if that's all you need. You can use it as a generic mass storage device (no need to jailbreak either) as long as you have these tools.
For what it's worth, I understand Apple's decision on this regard. There is a void in USB regarding smart devices with onboard filesystem drivers which run an OS. Basically, there's no USB File Transfer Protocol, just raw block-device USB Mass Storage (which is useless for devices that run their own OS and can't just expose a block device - not to mention that iPhone OS devices use HFS, not FAT). There's a Picture Transfer Protocol for digital cameras, and Apple does support that, but only for pictures. They made their own protocol for the other stuff. Really, iPod Touch devices aren't music players, they're embedded computers with an OS which you just happen to be able to play music on, and there's no standard "USB file transfer between OSes" protocol.
What is inexcusable is their insistence in trying to cryptographically stop people from syncing their iPods and iPhones with third-party software. But this is one layer above, and it affects the music database. The underlying nonstandard USB protocol was a practical necessity (although, incidentally, their implementation is horrid).
Actually, Android phones have been able to work around the issue without requiring a new protocol or any specific, non-standard sync application.
They simply expose some partition through USB as a block device, but the partition is unmounted by the embedded OS before being handled to the USB host. From the host point of view, the device is like a removable disk drive, and when the user chooses to switch the partition to the PC side, it's like if someone just inserted a disk in the removable drive.
It's kind o
It's kind of silly that the phone is unable to access the files in the partition while they're being accessed by the PC, but nonetheless, I think it's a cleaner solution.
It's not silly at all. When the PC has block-level access, the OS assumes its file system driver has sole control over that partition. This is, at the very least, true of NTFS (and wouldn't be an unreasonable assumption for most file system drivers).
If they made it so that the phone and the PC could both access the partition, there would have to be provisions for simultaneous changes/writes, syncing issues when both systems load the same file, and many of the other complications you see with network shares.
It's far simpler to lock the partition for whatever system is using it than to deal with all the edge cases where simultaneous use can cause the loss, desyncing, or corruption of data.
Keeping things clean with simultaneous access really isn't hard as long as your API is file-level, not block-level (block-level concurrency is just about impossible without specific filesystems designed for that). Network filesystems have other issues to deal with that can be simplified in this case (e.g. latency).
Of course you have to lock against opening the same file for writes from both sides, but these issues occur in multitasking OSes anyway and they're fairly well understood. For example, iTunes uses
My Android phone has no problem supporting both Microsoft's Media Player sync and mounting as a mass storage device...and I happily would consider it more than just a music player too.
No USB protocol for smart devices... Um, no...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol [wikipedia.org]
Would work just fine for the data that the iPod supports.
So, that's not a good excuse for Apple causing this much pain. MTP could be added in a firmware update. And, the check-file updating could be done on the device if the MTP path is chosen. Yes, MTP users may be disadvantaged (by synching more slowly), but (for me anyway) it would beat having to start Windows XP(tm) in a virtual machines, and then launching iTunes.
No one can do it. The PSP presents its MemoryStick card to the OS, and in USB mode it can't do anything with it anyway. Android phones do the same thing with an internal partition. There is no standard USB protocol that allows the sharing of a partition between a device and the host OS.
Using existing mass storage protocols requires that whatever storage exists be switched from the embedded OS to the host OS, because they're low-level protocols that are designed for raw storage. This is a significant drawbac
My mother gave my son a 32G iPod touch for Christmas. The iPod itself is a fantastic piece of gear but every time I have to launch iTunes to sync music into it I go on a 15 minute profanity riddled rant. iTunes is buggy, slow, and generally the biggest pile of shit software that I am forced to use. To say that I hate it with the intensity of a thousand burning stars would be an _understatement_.
Why, oh why, won't Apple let me push music to it like every other, non-Apple, media player that we own?

I've had it explained to me that it makes much more sense to build the metadata index on a powerful PC, rather than building the functionality into each mp3 player.
My $40 sandisk indexes a couple of gigabytes in about 10 seconds, so I scratched my head too.
That's some pretty harsh punishment for buggy software. LOL

> thousand burning stars would be an _understatement_.
I met a guy who hated iTunes so much that he bought a Zune instead of an iPod. Now, that's hate.
Don't worry, any company that has tried to introduce artificial limitations like this always ends up defunct soon enough. Apple is just lasting longer than most.
It'll probably start with the developers. They'll get sick and tired of paying $99 a year just to develop goddamn cell phone apps. They'll get sick and tired of Apple's unnecessary censorship and app publication restrictions. They'll move to more open platforms.
It'll continue with the users. Those, such as yourself, who buy Apple products expecting
I know, replying to an AC and all that, but I hate iTunes so bad I'm going to do it anyway.
I like the iPod touch and would like to have one for myself but I absolutely, positively, 100% WILL NOT buy an iPod as long as I'm forced to use iTunes. It's just not going to fucking happen. I am advising my friends and family not to buy them either, based SOLELY on how terrible iTunes is.
Once I'm forced to use iTunes a few more times my hatred will probably reach the level of a holy war.
It'll continue with the users. Those, such as yourself, who buy Apple products expecting a useful product will become dismayed, never buy another Apple product, and will suggest to other people that they also avoid Apple.
Except for those Apple users who have actually ever used an Apple product and will probably keep doing so because most Apple products are actually fairly good. As are most Microsoft products, for the record, even if I dislike them.
Yes, my iPod touch doesn't multitask. Doesn't mean it's not still a decent MP3 player with a PDA built in, which I got for a extremely good price (35 EUR through the Back to School rebate offer); multitasking would occasionally be nice but I don't miss it enough to care. Yes, it needs iTunes, which apprently sucks big time on Windows. This doesn't faze me either as iTunes is a pretty good program on Mac OS and I use it anyway.
Yes, Macs are expensive. Until you require a certain feature set (like anything involving FireWire 800) that puts Mac prices on equal footing with those of comparable devices. That might even happen if you're shopping for a decent notebook; the Apple tax is above zero mainly for desktop systems.
It's easy to find things to hate about the company but it's not like they consistently produce useless junk that people pay pay at 500% market value for no reason at all. Most consumers do use their brain when making purchases and they have (often valid) reasons for their decision. Yes, even those who buy products you personally dislike.
Hell, I was in the mall last week and overheard a group of teens making fun of Apple products as being for "queerfags".
Just like Modern Warfare 2, every video game but Modern Warfare 2, Win7, every OS but Win7, rap, every music genre but rap (and especially metal), metal, every music genre but metal (and especially rap), motorcycles, everything but motorcycles... If we assume the failure of everything some teenager has described as "for fags" we are looking at the end of human culture within the next twenty years.
Perhaps Apple doesn't want to support the ever changing linux environment and is bound by contracts to their media partners that media transfers are done through a controlled channel?
Windows is Windows. OS X is OS X. Linux is

Even if you just look at what's still in support you have:

7 and all its sub-editions

Then if you consider IE6/7/8 since so many apps these days interact with the browser in some way (even what people wouldn't consider web apps), you get a huge number of possible permutations.

The wording of Apple's reply is a gem in and of itself:
While your application has not been rejected, it would be appropriate to remove "Finalist in Google's Android Developer's Challenge!" from the Application Description.
Please log into iTunes Connect to make appropriate changes to the Application Description now to avoid an interruption in the availability of Flash of Genius: SAT Vocab 2.2 on the iPhone App Store.
That's a nice app you have there; would be a shame if anything happened to it...
(mods) This is not funny, it's the truth.
Even if beginning with the best of intentions, a censor will always, eventually, come to use his power to censor to benefit himself.
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." -- Judge Aaron Satie
Apple can't have Android inside Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field.
Of course not. It causes a ripple in the field bubble and will start a cascading collapse killing everyone inside or transporting pieces of them to random locations. We would have arms and other body parts fused to buildings all across Cupertino and that would be a big Faux Pas in social circles.
To avoid being embarrassed at the next dinner party keep all things android at least 20 feet from your apple iPhone or iTouch.
I think everyone's going to dogpile on Apple for this, but I think they're missing the point, the point of the removal isn't the word Android, or Google, but the whole phrase of Google Android Developer Contest. They want to be disassociated with that contest. Given that Apple hasn't delisted apps that claim compatibility with other phones, and they even list a whole crap load of Android podcasts and other Android content in the iTunes store, I don't think Apple's paranoid about just the Apple or Google part.
the point of the removal isn't the word Android, or Google, but the whole phrase of Google Android Developer Contest.
That's not what Apple's response says at all:
we found that your application contains inappropriate or irrelevant platform information in the Application Description and/or Release Notes sections
So, yes, this is about Android as a whole, not just the contest.
I don't see this guy mentioning that his application was a finalist in a developer challenge as such.
If anything it makes it stand out...
Gee, how did Apple find out in the sea of 5,000 applications that turn your phone into a flashlight?
They probably search for 'android' and snuff the mention of it out.
It is their store.... they can do what they want and for that reason I don't buy from it.
I have seen tons of apps on the android store that mention iPhone or the fact that the same application was written for it.
We don't see Google snuffing those out....
This Apple has worms in it.
I wonder how a game where an archer (who just happens to look like a certain Android) shoots an Apple (that just happens to have a bite taken out of it) off of it's pedestal would be received? Hrmmmm...
"Winner of the Google developer challenge for (competing app Apple forbids the name of)"
You know it's rather funny to see all the whining and bitching and demonizing of Apple over this when the app developer himself says:
I suppose it's logical, and I'm not complaining; Apple is a wonderful company to work with. I took out the offending bit from the description.
Sure, of course he'll say that. He needs to sell his app. Would you say bad things about someone who just threatened you?
Apple doesn't want to list an app that mentions a competitor. (And in a fairly irrelevant way, too. The fact that another version of the app won an award doesn't necessary have any bearing on the iPhone incarnation, does it?) So, in effect, they don't want to advertise for the competition on their own system.
OK, maybe it seems a bit petty, but this isn't really censorship. It seems more like intelligent business practice.
I suppose it's logical, and I'm not complaining; Apple is a wonderful company to work with.
From the horses mouth.
City 17 is a great place. After all, "It's safer here."
I was told to leave all my luggage at the rail station. I suppose it's logical, and I'm not complaining; Civil Protection is a wonderful security force to work with.
I'm looking forward to the next JobsCast.
Old wording: Finalist in Google's Android Developer's Challenge!
New wording: Finalist in Large Internet Search Company's Human-Looking Robot Developer's Challenge!
At least he was able to preserve the basic meaning in the reworded version.
with Apps involving sex, Hitler's Mein Kampf, and Android.
So much for my dream of making a game where you fight Nazi hooker androids.
I'm sick of seeing app descriptions like the one used for this app before the change.
Telling people that its great for Android is of no value what so ever to an iPhone user.
Its just a wasted fluff piece that takes up space for what should be a real app description.
Listing off the reasons why other people think your app is awesome BEFORE you actually tell anyone what your app does is fucking annoying for those of us looking for apps.
Most of us don't give a shit what awards you've one, awards are generally politically based and rarely a direct relation to how good something is, regardless of the award.
I don't want to read about 10 different awards you got, I want to know what the app does and what features its got that make it worth my money and/or time.
Everyone here is bitching about Apple being so controlling and 'censoring' and you guys STILL DON'T GET IT. You keep going on about how Apple is wrong all the while ignoring that they have a growth rate thats off the charts.
I appreciate that Apple wants this pointless bit of information removed from the description, it does nothing useful to me. I don't use android, and if I'm buying a flashcard app for my iPhone I'm probably not also going to carry it around on my Android phone since having both would be retarded in and of itself.
You might be wise to listen to their marketing department. They've always been the smaller company that could. People like Apple (outside of the fanboys of geekdom, we all have our own things that we love, we don't count) for a reason, maybe its cause they are trendy, but I think its more than that, and this is an example of one of those reasons.
When you go to the store and buy a boxed application that runs on OS X and Windows, and it says so on the box, its because it runs on both. They don't put the OSX version in the box and advertise that you can go buy a Windows version if you want also. Nor do Windows only versions of software tell you about the Mac version. This App is sold in a store for software that when you buy/download it, it will only work on the iPhone (barring some hacked device that runs iPhone OS or a vm or simulator), so theres no reason to mention Android, it will just confuse all the people who have NO FREAKING IDEA what Android is, which is pretty much everyone outside this community. They may know that Google has the Nexus One, or that you can buy a Droid, but they have no clue what Android OS is.
You don't like the way the developer advertises his app. I don't like the fact that Apple decides for him how he can do it.
Why do people that don't own iPhones care? Because we don't want to own iPhones. We would rather that closed ecosystems lose mindshare and fail so we aren't economically compelled to write software for them.

Spin Master's Paw Patrol helped to tip the scales in Nickelodeon's favor, making it the children's TV network leader in the battle between Disney and Nickelodeon for kids share, according to a report on Bloomberg News. The battle between these two large players grew even more after last year's debut of Disney Junior, a channel aimed a preschoolers watching Nick Jr.
Nickelodeon cited Nielsen data that reported it averaging 918,000 viewers a day among kids ages 2 to 11 in the fourth quarter through December 15 compared to The Disney Channel's 874,000 viewers. According to the Bloomberg News article, the ratings shift, is accelerating ad sales for Viacom, which posted its best quarterly growth in at least two years last month. The battle between the largest players in children's TV intensified last year after the debut of Disney Junior, a channel aimed at preschoolers who watch Nick Jr.

WZVG-AM to broadcast Charlotte 49ers games
The Charlotte 49ers have agreed to a three-year deal with WZVG-AM to serve as the flagship radio station for basketball broadcasts. And the contract will expand to football broadcasts in 2013, when UNC Charlotte fields its first team in the sport.
The school recently broke ground for a $45 million, 15,000-seat stadium and practice complex, after hiring Brad Lambert its first head football coach.
"We couldn't be more excited to begin a long-term relationship with the Charlotte 49ers," says Lanny Ford, general manager at WZVG, known as Fox Sports 730 AM. "We are thrilled to be the home of a basketball program with such a strong tradition. And to be chosen to be part of history with the launch of 49ers football in 2013 is huge."
The agreement, negotiated by the 49ers media-rights holder Signature Sports Group Inc., calls for WZVG to carry Charlotte 49ers men's basketball games and The Alan Major Show for the next two years.
In the third year, the agreement will expand to include the 49ers football broadcasts and The Brad Lambert Show.
Financial terms weren't disclosed.

New Reading signing Royston Drenthe hoping for long-term stay at Royals
New Reading signing Royston Drenthe is hoping to stay with the club for a long time and says he finally feels settled.
Last Updated: 21/08/13 7:57pm
The Dutch international moved to the Royals in June from Russian club Alania Vladikavkaz, having played for four clubs in the past three years.
After living in the club hotel at the Madejski Stadium, the former Real Madrid winger has moved into a house and is happy in Berkshire.
Talking to the Reading Evening Post, the 26-year-old said: "I have a house and I don't have to stay at the stadium.
"I'm really happy to be here and I hope I can be here a long time."
He also says he is back to full fitness after being worked hard by Reading's coaching staff and manager Nigel Adkins.
"I have to thank the gaffer, I have to thank the coach and I have to thank everybody who is working around me," he said.
"They worked really hard with me. It was a really tough pre-season but I'm in really good shape now."

Yanks' fortunes improve with bullpen
Relievers' consistency turns sluggish start into June surge
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
NEW YORK -- Derek Jeter made a few wrong turns during his first weekend at the new Yankee Stadium, winding up in the players' dining room as he tried to navigate the maze back to his locker.
Like their captain, the rest of the Yankees also had to find their way in the early going, adapting to their new Bronx home and to each other. But the Bombers have finally adjusted, shrugging off early-season struggles and injuries to finish the first half in prime position for a playoff push.
With one of the game's most patient and productive offenses and a bullpen that is finally beginning to take shape, the Yankees have wrapped up the first half right in the thick of the race, despite the fact that they still have yet to post their first victory against the Red Sox this season.
Club MVP: Mark Teixeira was batting under .200 as late as May 12 and recently endured a homerless stretch spanning 95 at-bats, which only further illustrates how important he has been when everything is going right. Teixeira earned the second All-Star selection of his career after shrugging off a slow start to take his place as one of the American League's most dangerous hitters. The Yankees have also marveled at his run-saving defense at first base and are thirsty for more production in the second half.
Call him "Ace": Yes, manager Joe Girardi likes to call Alfredo Aceves "Ace," but that's not what this category is about. There have been some ups and downs, but over the first half, CC Sabathia has stepped into his $161 million obligation as the Yankees' No. 1 pitcher. There have been a few too many clunkers -- most recently a six-run outing on July 2 against the Mariners -- but Sabathia has proven willing to run the ball deep into games and leads the Yankees in complete games (two) and innings pitched (128 1/3).
Greatest strength: In Spring Training, general manager Brian Cashman envisioned a patient, veteran lineup seeing a lot of pitches and wearing down pitchers, forcing them to attack the strike zone. That has largely come to fruition, as the Yankees lead the Major Leagues in runs scored, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS and walks. Alex Rodriguez's return has lengthened the lineup, and having Jorge Posada back is a big boost over his fill-ins. The Yankees strike out less often than most AL clubs and have gone into motion a little more than expected, with Brett Gardner and Jeter pacing the club in stolen bases.
Biggest problem: The Yankees have some questions to answer in their starting rotation. Chien-Ming Wang is 1-6 and on the disabled list for the second time this season, and it is becoming increasingly apparent that they might not be able to count on the pitcher who won 46 games over the past three seasons. Joba Chamberlain has also been challenged to attack the zone more and has shown the requisite growing pains of a 23-year-old starter trying to harness his stuff, while Andy Pettitte can't seem to figure out how to pitch effectively at Yankee Stadium.
Biggest surprise: Out of nowhere, Phil Hughes has rescued the Yankees' bullpen and succeeded in doing what several candidates -- including the envisioned eighth-inning men, Brian Bruney and Damaso Marte -- could not. (Remember Edwar Ramirez and Jose Veras?) The plan was never to make Hughes into a full-fledged reliever, but like Chamberlain in '07, the need was there. Hughes' place for '09 is in the bullpen, and if he stays healthy, the Yankees can still get him up to 100 innings or so this year and not hinder his development.
Team needs: Hughes' success has taken away some urgency, but if Cashman makes a move at the Trade Deadline, there's a great probability it would be for a bullpen arm. No one knows if or when Marte will return from his exile to Tampa, Fla., and Bruney has been unable to recapture his command after serving two stints on the DL. The Yankees have patched it together with a revolving door of help from Triple-A, but there is room for improvement. The bench was bolstered in late June with the acquisition of Eric Hinske from the Pirates, though that was a reaction to the loss of Xavier Nady to Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery.
He said it: "I can't look Mariano Rivera in the face and say, 'I'm going to weaken your bullpen right now for the future.' It's a balancing act. It's a tough one. It's not easy. You try to make the best choices every day, and you revisit them every day." -- Cashman
Mark your calendar: The Yankees will come back from the All-Star break to tackle a 10-game homestand at Yankee Stadium that includes Old-Timers' Day on July 19 and a July 23 makeup game against the A's, playing a contest that was washed out back on April 20. From there, it's back on the road for a nine-game swing to Tampa Bay, Chicago and Toronto.
Fearless second-half prediction: The 2009 Yankees are a playoff team. The AL East would love to make that a false statement for a second successive season, but there's little reason to think the division or the Wild Card are not within New York's grasp. The Yankees don't match up well with the Red Sox, but they'll will find a way to be playing in October. They might even beat the Sox at least once in their remaining 10 games.

I just recently found your blog...and it immediately became my favorite. And I read a LOT of blogs. What a great idea, sharing all these little lost pieces of people's lives, things that, to the original book owner, were important enough to keep in a special place. Some of these things are like whispers.
I shall have to make my way through all of your archives. But this series of "The Not Forgottens" may be the most poignant of all. I love it!

[This entry has been updated as Wake has now officially signed and the Dolphins announced the signing of another player today also.]
The Dolphins thought they had turned over a stone and found a shiny diamond when they brought CFL defensive end Cameron Wake to Miami for a workout last week. Then, after an impressive workout, they sat down to negotiate with the kid and realized other teams were also trying to tap the potential mother lode.
So the Dolphins not only had to outbid eight other interested teams for Wake, they had to give the kid a nice chunk of guaranteed money to land him. But land him they apparently have.
Wake, the CFL's leading sacker the past two seasons, has agreed and signed a four-year contract with the Dolphins, the team is now confirming. Wake's deal is worth approximately $3.6 million with over $900,000 in guarantees. The contract has incentives clauses that could add about $1 million to the deal.
The Dolphins also just announced the signing of safety Ethan Kilmer, who spent the past three years with the Cincinnati Bengals. Kilmer, 25, is going to have to overcome injury problems to make an impact in Miami as he's been on the injured reserve each of the past two seasons.
In case you haven't heard Wake's tale, this is some background you should read.
The Dolphins have been searching for a pass-rusher so that it's not all about Joey Porter next year. The team also realizes Porter, who led the team with 17.5 sacks last year, will be 32 in March. At 6-3 and 241 pounds, Wake is not a defensive end in the 3-4 set. He is more suited to the strong or weak side linebacker spots in Miami's base defense.
The team can use him as a down end, however, in its four-man rush on obvious passing downs. By the way, the video below shows Wake in the BC Lions locker room, basically jumping to the ceiling and getting himself some lunch money for his trouble.

India's airports were put on alert on Friday to prevent Italy's ambassador from taking flight, in a dramatic escalation of a dispute over two Italian marines who skipped bail while on trial for murder.
A source in the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs told reporters that an order had been faxed to immigration authorities at all the country's international airports telling them that: "Daniele Mancini should not leave without permission."
Another senior official in the department said the ministry "is just following the Supreme Court's order of preventing the Italian ambassador from leaving India."
"He will have to inform the immigration authorities if he wants to leave the country," the official told reporters on condition of anonymity.
The Indian Supreme Court on Thursday directed that Mancini, who had negotiated a deal for the marines to return home to vote in last month's Italian election, should stay in India until the next hearing about the dispute tomorrow.
Rome announced earlier in the week that it was reneging on commitments to send back Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone, who face murder charges over the death of two Indian fishermen in February last year.
Mancini signed an affidavit giving his personal assurance that the two marines would return.
Italy said on Friday it would seek a "friendly agreement" with India to resolve the dispute.
"The Italian government is working on a friendly agreement with India based on international law," Italian President Giorgio Napolitano's office said in a statement, following talks with the defense, interior and foreign ministers.
The Indian Supreme Court ruling appeared to run contrary to diplomatic norms guaranteeing the freedom of movement of foreign envoys and risks a further souring of relations between Rome and New Delhi.
Article 29 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 states that diplomats shall "not be liable to any form of arrest or detention."
However, referring to Mancini's affidavit, India's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has argued that "if the diplomatic agent willingly submits to the jurisdiction of a court, then that jurisdiction applies."
Diljeet Titus, a lawyer who is acting for the Italian government and the two marines following the resignation of another attorney, refused to comment on the alert order.
The marines shot dead the fishermen off India's southwestern coast when a fishing boat sailed close to an Italian oil tanker they were guarding.
They say they mistook the fishermen for pirates.
Italy insists the marines should be prosecuted in their home country because the shootings involved an Italian-flagged vessel in international waters, but India says the killings took place in waters under its jurisdiction.
Relations between the two countries have also been soured by corruption allegations surrounding a US$748 million deal for the purchase of 12 Italian helicopters which the Indian government is now threatening to scrap.
The dispute has been a major embarrassment for the Indian government and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who has warned of "consequences" for bilateral ties if the pair do not return to stand trial in New Delhi.
Singh's rivals have accused the government of incompetence by allowing the marines to go home while facing such serious charges, and the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) says Italy is treating India "like a banana republic."
The Hindu-nationalist BJP has also implied untoward motives by Sonia Gandhi, the Italian-born head of Indian National Congress party.
On Thursday, India Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid discussed the issue with Joao Cravinho, the head of the EU's diplomatic mission.
"He was briefed about the entire issue. It was important to keep him informed," an Indian government official said.

Some background, WH says that when he is in meetings he will sometimes pick a female to give extra eye contact to when he's talking and fantasize about her. Or if a female is giving a presentation, he will let his thought go there. In general, he has fantasized and masturbated to thoughts about coworkers. His affair was with a coworker which started with him just fantasizing, but evolved into him following it through. He has said since that he is practicing the "bouncing eyes" and stops fantasy thoughts immediately. I think he is doing better, but there are days that I feel when he leaves for work he is heading to "fantasy sex land".
I get that we all find others attractive and we are trying to be honest with each other. Therefore, when we talk about fantasizing we have broken it into three tiers:
Tier One: Quick flash of what she looks like naked
Tier Two: Picturing her having sex with him or someone else
Tier Three: Masturbating with thoughts of her
1) Since the A, obvious I am hypersensitive with any fantasizing about other women, but I am trying to understand what is manageable. It is possible to control and shutdown before he gets to tier one? Or is Tier Two where you have control?
2) As for Tier Three, we took the suggestion from an SIer to ask for permission to masturbate. It sounds crazy, but it has been HUGE to help build trust. He says he could only masturbate thinking of women other than me, as that is part of the fantasy. Is that typical? Do you not masturbate thinking of your spouse? Or is it a mix?
Thank you for being brave and helping. This has been quite the experience and discussion in MC.

I probably cant really cant give you much of a answer to your question.
When I was single I was sort of *on the hunt* - I would check out women pretty much where ever I went. I would sort through who was there and then of the attractive ones I would check for a wedding ring. Of the remainder I would try and make casual eye contact. If the eye contact was returned in a positive way I would strike up a convo.
Once I was in a relationship I never really fantasized about other women. Sure I would notice a attractive person. But this is sort of like looking at a beautiful and exotic car with LESS emotional attachment. With the car I could think about what it would be like to drive the car. With women I would not think about having sex with them but would just appreciate the spectacle.
Now I am certainly no Don Juan. My single life consisted of a series of long term relationships (only 1 ONS). So I am probably not the type of guy you are wanting to answer your question.

My husband says he's done this with every woman he's seen for a long while.
He has a LOT of issues with sex... Lord.
gotmylifeback posted 12/6/2013 18:50 PM
When I was single I let my mind and eyes wander. I was not committed to anyone so any fantasies were just that; fantasies.
When I was married my eyes still wandered. Doesn't mean that I was fantasizing about what sex would be like with them. But, I probably noticed and looked at women, body parts more than I should have. It's one thing to notice someone. It's another to take that second and third glance. I work with almost all females. Some are very attractive and single but I never entertained any type of relationship with any of them. I kept my boundaries in person and in my mind.
Dday, an unremorseful spouse, a resulting divorce, and being in a new relationship has changed my mindset.
Things with my SO are very different than what my marriage was like. She is very attractive (inside and out) and is a wonderful person. She knows about my past betrayal so we can discuss it openly and comfortably. My ex was large chested whereas my SO is not. She will ask me if I would prefer or want her to have a boob job. (her first husband complained about their size on their honeymoon. Who the heck does that!) For me it is a no brainer. I love her chest the way it is. Doesn't matter if they are smaller. To me, they are perfect. And I tell her that size does not matter. What matters to me is someone whom I find attractive and who will be faithful to me.
Me and my SO have spent a lot of time talking about our current relationship and what we would want for our future. We openly talk about things in the bedroom and what boundaries look like. What each of us is comfortable with. As a result, we skip over nude scenes in movies. Some of these commercials that come on that are geared towards men come on and we change the channel. She has met all of my coworkers; again they are mostly female. My coworkers all know I am in a committed relationship and I have SO's picture all over my cubicle.
At my job I meet with many families; usually the mothers. So I see all types of women throughout my work week. But at the end of the day, I know that I have a fantastic SO. Intimacy is fantastic even though we can't always be together (currently in different states for the holidays). She can get my libido going like to one else and I am 100% committed to her. I have no reason to fantasize about anyone else. There will always be someone with bigger boobs, longer hair, less wrinkles, etc. But that is not what I want. There is only one person I want to be intimate with and that is my SO. We have a great relationship and I want to keep it that way. Sometimes that mean that I literally put up blinders; even at work.
For me, it is my deep love for my SO that drives me to protect my eyes. I also have to guard my mind as well. Since we are apart for the holidays I could easily let my eyes and mind wander to fill the void. And, we can't exactly meet each others' sexual needs right now. But, we talk about it. Even if we need to take care of our own business, we talk about it. And my mind fantasizes/thinks about being with her.
I know that I have taken a very aggressive and proactive approach to protecting my eyes and mind. But, I believe that my SO and our relationship is worth it. Communication is a huge, important factor. Since your WH's A was with a coworker, then I think it is very vital that he works on how he thinks of those at his work. And I believe that there should be an in depth discussion about the matter.
Just my two cents
gotmylifeback posted 12/6/2013 19:14 PM
I also wanted to add...
A good experience in the bedroom is not based on just a set of boobs, or a nice body. Yes, I know that we need to be attracted to someone to become aroused. A good time in the bedroom begins by having a connection before the clothes ever come off. Intimacy with my SO is better than it ever was with exWW. SO knows and understands me and I know and understand her. Through good communication we know what the other likes, dislikes. As a result, she can satisfy me like no one else because no one else knows me like she does. I've had the same female coworkers for several years and they do not know me like my SO. Sex to me is more than just having the big O. That could happen with anyone. But I get so much more from my SO.
I could please a different woman every night for the rest of my life and never have a real relationship. But, like most of the BS's here on SI, we made a commitment to please just one person for the rest of our lives. And we expected the same in return. If my mind is wandering and thinking of other women then I am not being faithful.

I am probably not typical but here goes. If I fantasize and act on it at all 95 percent of the time it has been about my fww for the last 20 years. The other 5 percent is about a ONS I had in college before I met my wife which was something better than any penthouse forum letter I have ever seen.
When my wife and I were having problems pre-affair and we' were having sex very infrequently, and we were arguing and not getting along, I still fantasized about her. She has always been incredibly creative and fun and everything I ever wanted in bed.

Before the A, I would agree about just noticing a pretty girl as one would notice a piece of art. Since then, I have become a bit more....uh...."mentally aggressive"? Sorry, just don't have a vocabulary for this. I my eyes wander and my mind wonders quite a bit longer and more explicitly than it used to. A revenge fantasy, perhaps? But the short answer is "no" I rarely envisioned sex with another (kinda looked at coworkers as sisters more than hunks of sex flesh.

I know it is a very personal subject, so thank you!!! Your answers will help guide me through our discussions. WH says that he had always done this since he was a teenager, through his first marriage, and through ours. Reading your posts, it seems some of this secrecy and his actions have to do with intimacy. He feels he never really "let me in fully". Add in ED issues and growing up in an ultra-conservative household, I don't think he would have ever talked about it.
I admit, I am a bit torn. It seems like you can control the type/amount/depth of fantasies, therefore, if he can't or won't, I am assuming it is a HUGE red flag? I feel like our can of worms keeps getting bigger.
Razor - When you typed "on the hunt" it struck a note. When I listen to him talk about this subject, it is hard not to jump to that he was still "on the hunt" and not invested in our relationship.
Gotmylifeback - You sound so happy and at peace, it is nice to read that on SI! Thanks for giving your thoughts on working with attractive women, it gives me an idea of what's healthy and ideal for me. Also, you made me think that it is all related to intimacy. We are trying to break the barriers down, so that like you, we can toss anything on the table to discuss.
bobf - Like GotMyLifeBack, I felt a little jealous when I read your post. I think we all want to be the person that our spouses fantasize about, that we are enough for them. It is so painful to find out that others occupied that space in their head.
stillprettyupset - I get it. I think after the A we all get a bit "aggressive" in our thoughts. It does help to get your opinion on coworkers, as I think WH had an unhealthy "habit"

Even though I'm a woman, I'd like to add something here,,
I used to date an alcoholic, he told me everyone drank too much, I was being boring.
I married a pervert, he told me every guy thinks about sex with everyone all the time, to lighten up and I needed to think about sex more often (home with newborn and 2 year old).
Thank God in between I have dated guys who were not alcoholics and perverts and I can tell you they are like the guys who responded above. Decent people who can be trusted and who want a close committed relationship with one person. These types of people don't get excited by other women, they get excited about their closeness with their spouse. These guys are out there, as evidenced by the guys who responded to you.
NotDefeatedYet posted 12/6/2013 20:36 PM
I would have to think most males who don't live in reality will frequently fantasize about sex with certain random women. The alternative is to fantasize about her griping at you for leaving socks in the floor. There's nothing exciting about that.
gotmylifeback posted 12/6/2013 21:05 PM
I can understand difficulties with intimacy. Looking back at my marriage, I was never 100% vulnerable. In the bedroom I often had to close my eyes. I didn't imagine I was with someone else but just concentrated on the moment. It had nothing to do with the ex physically. In retrospect, I know that I never felt safe and that I could be vulnerable. But I also know now that she most likely has borderline personality disorder so emotionally, I didn't feel safe.
With my SO, I feel a lot safer. And I have made a conscious effort to discuss this with her. I have also worked on me and becoming a healthier person. We have talked about keeping my eyes open and just being in the moment and focusing on looking at each other. This was not easy at first. But we worked together and communicated. It took me having to open up and share this difficulty and it took her to be patient and understanding. Change is possible and the end results can be more than worth it.
I can watch a movie that has a nude scene and not have sexual thoughts or fantasies of the woman on the screen. But, if I didn't have any barriers then I know that I could easily let my mind wander and thoughts could dwell on fantasizing about being with the screen character. I choose to guard by mind. Again, because we have good communication, I know that my SO is very sensitive to nudity on the screen. We talked about it and we skip over the nude scenes. Or, if we are at the movies we turn our heads or close our eyes. I CHOOSE to do this for my SO. It takes very little effort on my end. But, if makes her feel special and builds up our relationship then I would be stupid or selfish to not do this. I could argue about it being "no big deal" or "I've never had to look away for anyone" but what is more important? It's not about me being right or her being wrong. It's about building up the relationship.
WH says that he had always done this since he was a teenager, through his first marriage, and through ours.
Just because he has "always done this" doesn't mean that he has to continue. Does he want to change? Maybe he doesn't know how or doesn't see it as a problem. But, if something bothers you then it is a problem; especially when attempting to R. Some wives are ok with letting their husbands view porn. Some are not. Every person and relationship is different. Communication is vital. And part of a healthy marriage is making adjustments, compromises, and doing things that we may not want to do because it is important to our spouse.

I think this is sick. For what its worth, as a man, I do not have such lurid sexual fantasies about the women I work with, and never have. Even if I notice that they are attractive, I do not end up imagining them naked or masturbating at the thought of them having sex. Sorry, this is gross, and the product of a very sick mind...
cantgetup posted 12/6/2013 21:27 PM
This may be all you know therefore not obvious to you, but this is not normal or healthy. That you are even considering any sort of watered down version of this is bargaining with your self respect. Not sure if this is what you are asking comments for or not. If I so much have caught wind that this is where his mind was at for even 5% of the time, I would be gone. It sounds like SA to me. Have you considered that? It might help you work through this.
ILINIA posted 12/6/2013 21:32 PM
Hell, why not lay it all out there!
I think that I took for granted that if he masturbated it was about us and our "escapades", so it is a hard to hear that he masturbated to dozens of women, but I was not one of them, since I was the "wife". He has described his fantasies and they are pretty tame. The commonality is that the women always orgasms and are "satisfied". Well, that led to some interesting questions like "do i need to be louder", "do I need to say your name?", etc. etc. Basically, he just wanted to feel like he was this great lover.
Also, I feel like he was really closed off about sex and expressing himself. We never did it more than once in a night, we rarely could change positions, he was highly sensitive if I said something or if I kid stirred upstairs, and he would not let me go down on him. I always assumed it had to do with ED and he was not confident that he would be successful. Sometimes I feel like there was always these red flags, but I didn't want to ask and bruise his ego.
Scientist, cantgetup, and homewrecked have me thinking:
Do you think this is confidence or intimacy issues related and fixable? Or am I just screwed?
eta: He's not a porn or strip club guy. I always classified him as "cerebral" and not the typical "red hot blooded American male", so when I heard about this, I almost fell of my chair. It seems like he is trying to change it by doing the bouncing eyes and we are talking about it a lot. I just had no point of reference and the MC didn't seem all that concerned, but I would keep trying to get a better understanding, so I wouldn't let it drop. Sometimes I wonder if he even had a decent point of reference of what is healthy and what is not. Obviously, I am hypersensitive about it.

I'm not gonna convict anybody of thought crimes... I mean if some woman out there is mentally stripping me down and dressing me like a hobbit and playing evil Galadriel, whatever. Personally I don't feel comfortable picturing other people I know or have met having sex.
Maybe it's just the problem of conversation, like, if I suddenly find myself talking to her after thinking of railing her, what would happen. I can't keep my fucking mouth shut as it is, something like "Oh yeah, soccer Sunday, right, wear that dress I was pounding you on the hood of your car in my daydreams" coming out of my mouth is a very real possibility and I just don't want that to happen.
Also I get bored fast and the whole set up for fantasy sex takes too long. Drinks, movies, the really weird and circuitous series of events that makes it okay.. the whole thing ends up with her leaving in disgust because I spent the entire fantasy bitching about the bullshit way Saruman got killed off.
Anyway, I don't really go past tier 1.

Exactly, Notdefeated! My WH has told me he has not thought from a place of reality for a while. "Walking around in a Porn daze." He's had three "episodes" like this. The first time, he was listening to "erotic hypnosis" mp3's, The second, was during the EA, and this one, the longest, where he had a "date" with an "escort".
Softcentre posted 12/7/2013 06:10 AM
From what Wh has told me (he's very closed/ashamed about all this and insisted for most of our M that he had never masturbated ) he has never fantasized about me. It's always someone else.
He refused to admit even looking at other women, but hey, we all know he's a liar. He is also emotionally unavailable.
I think shame is a huge barrier to honesty. The upside to your post is that at least he is being honest about his fantasies.

Really? That's either addict-thinking, or he's 13 years old. It's bullshit, and I wouldn't tolerate such a level of disrespect.
I think cantgetup asks the key question, and it's the way to avoid being a mind-cop.
Forget about what he's thinking.
What are you thinking?
Is it ok with you to tolerate such a level of disrespect?
I know I sometimes sound rough, I'm sorry - I've just seen too much abuse and fuckery here, and I want you to get *clear* soonest, that's all sister...

Gallery: 5 Things I Miss About Camp
Let me be clear about this right off the bat: I hated summer camp. Fucking hated it. I went to a different camp every summer, and loathed each one of them. Didn't care for outdoor sports, didn't like to swim in lakes, too sensitive to be cliquey, and too awkward to do anything overtly sexual. In other words, camp was not for the likes of me.
And frankly, there is very little about camp that I would want to recreate as adult. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing. So as we approach Memorial Day, in the spirit of summer, here are the five things about camp that I miss:

I'm thinking about getting a divorce.
It's not my fault, either. I've kept up my end of the bargain. I've been there, year after year, through good times and bad.
And just so you know, my thoughts on this divorce aren't some new, seat-of-the-pants notion. I've been feeling this way for a few years, but it's only now I feel comfortable discussing it.
So yeah, New York Mets: I'm thinking of splitting up with you. You know the reasons why: Because your ownership is terrible, the Bernie Madoff stink won't wash away and there seems to be precious little in the way of hope.
It's one thing to root for a sports franchise that isn't any good; it's a whole 'nuther thing to root for a sports franchise you actively hate. I loathe the ownership. If they were to sell the team — and if that didn't happen yet, it's never going to happen — then I'd gladly stay the course. After all, a divorce is not something I want to go through.
And yes, Mets, in case you were wondering, there is another team. Two of them, in fact.
The first one is an older team, but after their own rough patch, they've cleaned up nice. Classic style all the way through. I'm talking about the Los Angeles Dodgers, OK? There are numerous reasons why any current New York Mets fan should be granted a no-fault, immediate divorce should they decide to bleed Dodger blue, not the least of which is the Dodgers, of course, are originally from Brooklyn. For me, there's also a childhood memory of the great 1970s Dodger teams, Garvey, Lopes, Cey, Russell … plus the pitching … and there's something about Chavez Ravine on the TV, late afternoon shadows falling over the field …
And the franchise isn't afraid to spend money. The ownership, led by Magic Johnson, is opening their wallet. Throw in Tommy Lasorda, Vin Scully, the whole thing, and I kind of wish I was a Dodgers fan. I did have a Dodgers T-shirt as a small child. That should count for something.
The other team I've been eyeing up? The opposite of the Dodgers. This is a young, sexy team. The Washington Nationals. Oooooh. The Nationals. Bryce Harper! Plays the game the way it's meant to be played. And Stephen Strasburg! Oh, my heart flutters. I'm a sucker for power pitchers, and Strasburg … love Strasburg. And the team is managed by Davey Johnson, the fella who skippered my beloved 1986 Mets to World Series glory.
Oh, those '86 Mets … how I loved them. How I cried — blubbering sobs, I tell you — when there were two outs and no hope and Gary Carter at the plate during Game 6. I was 14 years old. Height of my Mets fandom. You should know I started rooting for them in 1979. Loved those lousy teams. Neil Allen and Doug Flynn and Steve Henderson and Lee Mazzilli and Craig Swan … and then came Darryl Strawberry in 1983 … and Keith Hernandez. And then came Dwight Gooden, and Carter and … oh, why am I doing this to myself? I loved them so much. With every fiber of my being. This is a love that should have lasted a lifetime!
But all those players are gone. The Mets mystique is gone. Where have you gone, Frank Cashen?
So now?
So now I'm left with an ownership that doesn't seem to care. And so I ask: How can I care if they don't?
I'm at a crossroads here. The idea of this divorce is not a decision to be taken lightly. I don't want to do it. I still love the Mets. I just hate what's become of them.
Why does love have to be so hard?
