The short answer is this: a firewall intercepts all communications between you and the Internet and decides if the information is allowed to pass.
Covered in this article
Now we can address the long answer. Lets forget for now the fact that a firewall can be either hardware or software; they both have a similar function. We'll talk about the differences between hardware and software a lit bit later.
When your computer is connected to the Internet, information flows both into and out of it. For instance, when you surf the web, you send out a request for a web page, and you get back in the page you asked for. When you check your email you send out a request for your email, and you get back in your email messages. Just about every communication on the Internet is bidirectional, or two way.
It is important to note that firewalls are aware of connections. A connection exists between you and your email server when you check your email, and one exists between you and a web server when you browse the web. This connection is what data flows over. Firewalls are aware of connections. When we talk about a in rule or an out rule, we are referring to the direction the connection was created. So when you check your email, you are creating a connection out to your mail server. This requires an out rule in your firewall. When the email server sends data back to you in the connection that you have already created, you do not need an in rule because the connection has already been created.
Most firewalls, by default, will block all traffic both in and out. This is what we call Deny all by default. In this state, it is as if your computer is not even connected to the Internet. While this is a very safe state to be in, it is not very useful. So we have to create a set of rules to tell the firewall what we consider safe and ok. Everything else is by default considered not safe.
Most programs that we want to talk on the Internet with are harmless, and simply request data that we want with information that we consider not private. For these programs, we want a firewall to be completely transparent. In other words, you want to be able to surf the web and check your email even if you have a firewall installed. In order for these programs to be able to work, we have to create an allow rule and we set it to allow both in and out traffic.
As you create rules to allow traffic in and out, you are creating tiny holes in your firewall for the traffic to flow through. That is why many Internet users call creating rules pinholing your firewall. The more pinholes you create in your firewall, the less secure your network becomes, so you should only create as many pinholes or rules as you need to use the Internet to do what you want to do.
Hardware Firewalls vs. Software Firewalls
Hardware Firewalls
Hardware Firewalls are usually a router or other similar device. Many modern routers have a firewall built into them. To use the firewall, you must login to your router, usually from inside your network. You can not login from the Internet by default, this would break the security of the firewall. Once you are logged into your router, you find the firewall section and begin creating rules.
Hardware Firewalls are exceptional at blocking intruders and attacks from the Internet and from inside your network. The downside to hardware firewalls is that they are a little more difficult to configure. You have to know the port numbers that you want to block or allow. These can be very difficult to find. We have a large database of port numbers which you can view here. However, once you get a hardware firewall setup, it is the most secure and fastest option out there. In addition, one hardware firewall protects your entire network, so the overall cost is usually lower if you have more than one computer.
Software Firewalls
Software firewalls are applications that you install on each PC on your network. These may be the best option for users with Dial Up or who only have 1 computer on their network. They work by allowing programs to communicate on the Internet by program name instead of by port number. Most of them do offer firewalling by port number, but the default behavior is usually to firewall by program name.
Firewalling by program name means allowing a certain application unlimited access to the Internet. For instance, if your trust Firefox then you add it to your list of allowed applications in your software firewall. Now you can surf the web using Firefox. If you want to add more security, you may decide to block the other browsers on your computer, forcing all users to use Firefox.
The disadvantage of software firewalls is multifaceted. First, you have to purchase a copy for every PC on your network. This can get expensive and can be a maintenance issue. Second, they can impair your computers functionality. Some firewalls are just difficult to configure, and until you configure them correctly, you may not be able to surf the web or check your email. This makes it very difficult to get help.
The biggest problem with software firewalls comes is that they trust applications completely. Once you have told your software firewall that you trust Firefox, Firefox can now do anything it wants to on the Internet. By default, Firefox is a safe program, but there may be some malware out there that will take advantage of it and use it to do their dirty work. Since you have told your software firewall that you trust Firefox, this malware now has the ability to do anything it wants on the Internet as if your firewall was never there. Therefore, software firewalls must be coupled with good antivirus and malware protection.
What does a firewall protect me from
Firewalls, in general, protect you from malicious Internet attacks. These attacks can come from the outside or the inside.
Outside attacks are people trying to get into your network so that they can take control of your computers, or use your computers to do things on the Internet.
Inside attacks are software that has already been installed on your computer trying connect out to the Internet, usually to get instructions from an Internet hacker.
By blocking both incoming and outgoing traffic, a firewall protects you from both of these kinds of attacks.
Generally, anything that really wants to. If you run a software firewall and allow an application to communicate on the Internet, then a malicious piece of software may be able to piggyback some communications on top of that application. Of course, the malicious software author would have to account for this when they write the malware. This is currently rare making software firewalls pretty effective. If you run a hardware firewall and open up some ports, then any application that wants to can communicate on those ports. The application author would have to predefine that these open ports should be used, which keeps the odds of this happening pretty low.
The important thing to note is that a firewall is not a 100% solution to protecting your computer or network. Security needs to be a holistic approach, and the firewall is simply one aspect of many different things that should be done to keep your network safe.
How different is a firewall from what a NAT router does
A NAT (Network Address Translation) router is sometimes called a firewall. The truth is, it is less than a firewall in many ways. NAT routers only block traffic one direction; they only block incoming traffic. Firewalls block both directions.
While NAT is an effective barrier against people who want to get into your network, it provides very little configurability. Most NATs do not allow you to create rules based on complex criteria such as time of day, source address, destination address, traffic direction and others.
How can I tell that my firewall is working
You should test your firewall both incoming and outgoing.
To test your firewall for outgoing functionality, remove the rules for a program such as Firefox and try to surf the web. You should not be able to surf. If you can surf, then your firewall is not blocking outgoing traffic.
To test your firewall for incoming functionality, you should try something like probemyports. This will attempt to connect in through your firewall. If your firewall is working, then probemyports will not be able to connect in and will tell you so.
Does a firewall filter the content of the Internet
No, most firewalls do not filter the content of the Internet. Their functionality is indiscriminate of the content that is being downloaded. They only block certain applications or certain ports, not certain topics.
Can a firewall protect my kids from the Internet
No, if you want to protect your kids from online predators, scams, phishing and cyber stalking you need to use other programs. A firewall only blocks certain applications and ports.
No, a firewall does not block spam. When you install a firewall, you usually configure it to allow your email program to download your email messages. Spam, or unwanted email, is downloaded by your email program with your other messages. The firewall has no ability to block spam.
What are the adverse effects of running a firewall
Some applications will not work very well behind a firewall. Many games need lots of ports open to the Internet to function. Streaming video and audio may be affected, as well as Peer to Peer (P2P) applications such as uTorrent, Kazaa, WinMX, Azureus and BitTorrent. Voice over IP (VOIP) may be affected as well.
In addition, some software firewalls may significantly slow down your computer or even cause it to stop working entirely. A software firewall is a very involved piece of software and it integrates very deeply into the operating system. You should probably backup your personal data files before installing one.
What else should I do to protect my network
Well I hope that was clear enough. Let me know what you think of this guide by using our comments page.

Norfolk, VA (PRWEB) September 13, 2013
At the September 11 NRHA Board of Commissioners meeting, Chairman, W. Sheppard Miller III announced his resignation. Miller has served with distinction for almost 12 years, including some 11 years as Chairman. His departure will be effective October 31, 2013.
During Miller's tenure, NRHA has been a transformative force in Norfolk through numerous projects including redevelopment of East Beach, redevelopment of Broad Creek, revitalization of Grandy Village and Mission College Apartments as well as repositioning of Waterside in downtown Norfolk, to name just a few. Broad Creek and East Beach are the largest redevelopment projects in Norfolk's history.
Currently, NRHA is rated as a "High Performer" for both its public housing and housing choice voucher programs, by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the highest rating possible. Together these programs provide housing for over 17,000 residents. NRHA has also built or rehabilitated thousands of homes throughout the city.
During Miller's term, NRHA has worked and spent over $200 million in over 20 conservation and redevelopment neighborhoods across the city including Park Place, Ocean View, Ballentine, Lamberts Point, Wards Corner, Church Street/Huntersville Berkley and other locations. NRHA was instrumental in development of Old Dominion University Village, helping transform ODU into one of Norfolk's greatest assets.
NRHA recently received an A+ credit rating from Standard and Poor's, which cited its fiscal strength and strong management. This is among the very highest rating attained by any housing authority in the country.
Just last year, an economic impact analysis performed by the College of William and Mary Mason School of Business found the agency creates $121.5 million annually for the city's economy, in addition to 1,148 jobs, with an average wage of $46,434, at a time when the region is in the middle of an historically severe recession. NRHA enables over 7,000 Norfolk households to live in better quality housing than they otherwise can afford. These households included a total of 17,600 people, or 7.25% of Norfolk's total population.
Along with his work on the NRHA board, Miller also is the founding and current Chairman of the Board of Hampton Roads Ventures, a for-profit entity owned by NRHA. HRV has been a force for change and a generator of economic growth in the Eastern United States. It pursues a business strategy that employs the innovative use of local, state and federal community development incentive and financing programs, such as Tax Exempt Bond Financing, state and federal Historic Tax Credits and state and federal New Market Tax Credits (NMTC).
Through this entity, NRHA has or is currently deploying over $205 million in tax credits, resulting in creation of thousands of jobs and millions of feet of retail, office and industrial space. Projects include the Crispus Attucks Theater, the Fort Norfolk Plaza Medical Complex, and the SpringHill Suites at ODU University Village, They also include over 20 other projects including a grocery store, hotels, medical and cultural facilities and industrial and energy plants. They are scattered from East St Louis, to Jackson, Mississippi, to Roanoke, to Washington D.C.
Vice Chairman Barbara Hamm Lee credited Miller for his highly effective leadership skills and abundant advocacy for NRHA and Norfolk citizens.
"While it has been a difficult decision to leave a role I am so passionate about, NRHA has incredible momentum and couldn't be in better hands. We have top-notch leadership on our board and on our executive team, and we have excellent community partners" Miller said. "I believe it is time to turn over the leadership to others, who will continue the legacy of excellence left to me. It has been an incredible privilege for me to serve this great city for over 20 years. Sixteen of those years were spent as NRHA Chairman and prior to that as Chairman of the Economic Development Authority."
Miller also serves as one of Governor Bob McDonnell's appointees to the Commonwealth Transportation Board and serves as the Chairman of HRBizPAC, the Hampton Roads Chamber's Political Action Committee.
He also serves on the Mayor's Downtown Task Force, and the boards of the Hampton Roads Economic Development Alliance, Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce and Monarch Bank's Norfolk Division.
In addition, he was President of the Rotary Club of Norfolk for 2008-2009 and Chairman of the Better Business Bureau of Hampton Roads. He served on the Mayor's Commission to End Homelessness and the Blue Ribbon Commission to Study the Direct Election of the Mayor. He was a member of the Norfolk Economic Development Authority for nine years, serving as chairman for five of those years before joining the NRHA Board.
Miller is the Chairman of KITCO Fiber Optics and President and CEO of Light Tech Inc.
Norfolk City Council will decide on appointments of three commissioners whose terms expire in October. Following that action, the NRHA Board of Commissioners will elect new officers this fall.
About NRHA
Founded in 1940, NRHA is a national leader in community revitalization and fostering sustainable mixed-income communities. As the largest redevelopment and housing authority in Virginia, NRHA plays a key role in making Norfolk the city of choice to build, work, play and live.

Unaccompanied Children:
HHS Can Take Further Actions to Monitor Their Care
GAO-16-180: Published: Feb 5, 2016. Publicly Released: Feb 22, 2016.
Additional Materials:

- Accessible Version:
What GAO Found
In fiscal year 2014, nearly 57,500 children traveling without their parents or guardians (referred to as unaccompanied children) were apprehended by federal immigration officers and transferred to the care of the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). Most of these children were from Central America. GAO found that ORR was initially unprepared to care for that many children; however, the agency increased its bed capacity to accommodate up to 10,000 children at a time. Given the unprecedented demand for capacity in 2014, ORR developed a plan to help prepare it to meet fiscal year 2015 needs. The number of children needing ORR's care declined significantly through most of fiscal year 2015, but began increasing again toward the end of the summer. Given the inherent uncertainties associated with planning for capacity needs, ORR's lack of a process for annually updating and documenting its plan inhibits its ability to balance preparations for anticipated needs while minimizing excess capacity.
ORR relies on grantees to provide care for unaccompanied children, including housing and educational, medical, and therapeutic services. GAO's review of a sample of children's case files found that they often did not contain required documents, making it difficult to verify that all required services were provided. ORR revised its on-site monitoring program in 2014 to ensure better coverage of grantees. However, ORR was not able to complete all the visits it planned for fiscal years 2014 and 2015, citing lack of resources. By not monitoring its grantees consistently, ORR may not be able to identify areas where children's care is not provided in accordance with ORR policies and the agreements with grantees.
ORR grantees conduct various background checks on potential sponsors prior to releasing children to them. These potential sponsors are identified and screened by the grantees as part of their responsibilities for the unaccompanied children in their care. The extent of the checks conducted depends on the relationship of the sponsor to the child. Between January 2014 and April 2015, ORR released about 50,000 children from Central America to sponsors to await their immigration hearings. In nearly 90 percent of these cases, the sponsors were a parent or other close relative already residing in the United States. Sponsors do not need to have legal U.S. residency status.
There is limited information available on post-release services provided to children after they leave ORR care. In part, this is because ORR is only required to provide services to a small percentage of children, such as those who were victims of trafficking. In May 2015, ORR established a National Call Center to assist children who may be facing placement disruptions, making post-release services available to some of them. Also, in August 2015, ORR began requiring well-being follow-up calls to all children 30 days after their release. ORR is collecting information through these new initiatives, but does not currently have a process to ensure that the data are reliable, systematically collected, or compiled in summary form. Service providers GAO spoke with also noted that some of these children may have difficultly accessing services due to the lack of bilingual services in the community, lack of health insurance, or other barriers.
Why GAO Did This Study
ORR is responsible for coordinating and implementing the care and placement of unaccompanied children. The number of children placed in ORR's care rose from nearly 6,600 in fiscal year 2011 to nearly 57,500 in fiscal year 2014. GAO was asked to review how ORR managed their care.
This report examines (1) ORR's response to the increase in unaccompanied children, (2) how ORR cares for children in its custody and monitors their care, (3) how ORR identifies and screens sponsors for children, and (4) what is known about services children receive after they leave ORR custody. GAO reviewed relevant federal laws and regulations, ORR policies, and ORR and Executive Office for Immigration Review data. GAO also visited nine ORR grantee facilities in three states selected to vary in the type of care provided, shelter size, and location, and conducted a random, non-generalizable case file review of 27 case files of children released from these facilities. GAO interviewed agency officials and community stakeholders in six counties that received unaccompanied children, representing diversity in geographic location, size, and demographics.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that HHS (1) develop a process to regularly update its capacity plan, (2) improve its monitoring of grantees, and (3) develop processes to ensure its post-release activities provide reliable and useful summary data. HHS agreed with GAO's recommendations.
For more information, contact Kay E. Brown at (202) 512-7215 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: HHS agreed with our recommendation and has directed ORR to update its bed capacity framework on an annual basis utilizing the anticipated referral data. According to HHS, ORR anticipates the fiscal year 2017 bed capacity framework will be completed prior to September 30, 2016 and will be used for future program planning and resource allocation. GAO will close this recommendation when HHS completes its 2017 bed capacity framework.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services should direct the Office of Refugee Resettlement to develop a process to update its bed capacity framework on an annual basis to include the most recent data related to numbers of unaccompanied children who may be referred to its care and adjust its planning scenarios that guide its bed capacity as appropriate.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services
Status: Open
Comments: HHS agreed with our recommendation and ORR is in the process of reviewing its monitoring templates and tools and, according to HHS, has conducted a monitoring training for its Project Officers. In addition, ORR is sending additional Project Officers into the field to complete scheduled monitoring visits to its care provider facilities. HHS reports that ORR is on track to complete all scheduled monitoring visits for FY 2016. We will close this recommendation when ORR has completed its review of its monitoring templates and tools and demonstrates that it can complete its planned monitoring visits on schedule.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services should direct the Office of Refugee Resettlement to review its monitoring program to ensure that onsite visits are conducted in a timely manner, case files are systematically reviewed as part of or separate from onsite visits, and that grantees properly document the services they provide to children.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services
Status: Open
Comments: HHS agreed with our recommendation and ORR is in the process of examining its current policies related to post-release service planning and mechanisms to incorporate information from post-release service providers into its database. ORR is undertaking several efforts designed to improve the reliability and usability of data on unaccompanied children both in ORR care and after their release. For example, ORR is working to improve its system for post-release service tracking. In addition, ORR is reconciling data from its Help Line and safety and well-being calls and plans to make data from this effort available to the public through its website. Lastly, ORR is reviewing reporting requirements for its grantees and plans to update requirements related to post-release services in its fiscal year 2016 funding opportunity announcements. We will monitor ORR?s progress on these efforts and close this recommendation when ORR has made substantial progress in these areas.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services should direct the Office of Refugee Resettlement to develop a process to ensure all information collected through its existing post-release efforts are reliable and systematically collected so that they can be compiled in summary form and provide useful information to other entities internally and externally.

The move of MI6 in the late Nineties from modest, relatively covert premises (though bus conductors were prone to yell, "Spies alight here") to one of the most glossily ostentatious buildings in London was not welcomed by many of the staff, who referred to their new home as Legoland.
When the Bond movie The World is Not Enough was shown there, a scene depicting an explosion at Vauxhall Cross was loudly cheered. However, the conspicuous nature of the building is at least in keeping with the significance of MI6 as a major inspiration in British fiction.
This fast-moving account by the BBC's Security Correspondent reveals that the true story of Britain's overseas intelligence service is as gripping as any novel. Inevitably, Kim Philby plays a central role in the early stages.
Gordon Corera pursues this icy, plausible figure from pre-war Vienna, where his involvement with a local girl was later utilised in The Third Man by his friend Graham Greene, through his unhindered climb virtually to the top of MI6.
When an MP accused him of "dubious Third Man activities" in 1956, Philby coolly won round a press conference. After his defection in 1963, Greene expressed admiration - "I myself would not have been capable of such courage" - but John le Carré refused to meet him. "I couldn't possibly shake his hand. It was drenched in blood."
Corera works wonders in untangling the murky, convoluted doings of the organisation through the decades. Probing the murder of Congolese activist Patrice Lumumba in 1960, he states, "It is clear that those who ordered the killing were close to the CIA and MI6 in the Congo."
our decades on, he quotes an MI6 officer that "British intelligence facilitated the transfer" of Libyan opposition members to the jails of Colonel Gadaffi. Exploring the dud information supplied for the "dodgy dossier" on Iraq, he notes, "The impact on MI6's reputation was calamitous."
MI6 may remain a secret service of sorts, but is it only too evident why Corera concludes by stressing the need for "a credible system of accountability".

We missed you," cries a supportive voice from the crowd as Corinne Bailey Rae takes to the stage. "I missed you too," she replies with a smile but, really, this is one pop star with more to worry about of late than retaining her fan base. This is Bailey Rae's first full gig since the 2008 death of her husband, Jason Rae, from a suspected drugs overdose and, while she makes no direct mention of her loss, it looms large in the songs that dominate tonight's short-but-bittersweet set.
Beginning with the slow-burning "Are You Here", a lyrical hymn to her late husband, it's clear that the breezy, but ultimately lightweight, pop-soul of her self-titled 2006 debut is a thing of the past. In its place are a series of emotional, but ultimately life-affirming ballads and some surprisingly robust guitar-led songs. This new sound lies somewhere between the jazzy, cocktail-party heartbreak of early Cardigans albums and the "Back to Black" follow-up Amy Winehouse will probably never get round to making; a curious combination on paper but enthralling enough in the flesh to make her forthcoming second album, The Sea, one of the most anticipated releases of 2010. Whether the new album will hit the commercial heights of her debut remains to be seen, but judged on tonight's performance, you're unlikely to hear a braver, more powerful record in the next 12 months.
The new material may lack obvious pop hits – only the upbeat melody of "Paris Nights and New York Mornings" makes an instant impression – but it's more than made up for by the sheer redemptive power of raw, starkly beautiful songs like "I'd Do It All Again" and "I'd Like to Call It Beauty."
Linking everything together, meanwhile, is Bailey Rae's voice. Previously honey-coated and radio-friendly, it now emerges from under her riot of corkscrew curls as a notably less smooth instrument, but one soaked with the kind of genuine soul you'll never find on The X Factor.
This new-found grit also enhances the few older songs she plays, with "Like a Star" and "Til It Happens to You" unlocking previously hidden depths, but, really, tonight is about moving on.
An encore of her biggest hit, "Put Your Records On", strikes a rare moment of uncomplicated joy, but ultimately it's the new material that leaves the biggest impression. You may not have noticed her absence, but pretty soon you'll wonder where these songs have been all your life.

Student Fined $675K for Illegal Music Downloads |
Home Theater News Music - Download Technology News | |
Written by AVRev.com | |
Tuesday, 04 August 2009 | |
Joel Tenenbaum, a 25 year old grad student at Boston University, has been told to pay damages of $675,000 to four record companies for sharing music on the internet. During the case, Tenenbaum was found guilty of downloading / sharing 22 songs via Kazaa in 2004. That's a sizable $22,500 for each illegally shared track.
During the trial Tenenbaum told the court that he downloaded more than 800 songs over the last 10 years. A RIAA spokesman told reporters that the $675K in damages will the invested in "ongoing education and anti-piracy programs". This decision comes just two months after a 32 year old single mother was ordered to pay the record companies $1.92 million for sharing 24 songs on the internet via Kazaa. |

Do you remember how you learned numbers from 1 to 10? Now you have to revise the material and to solve exciting puzzles while fitting pieces of wood into the slots made in a figure! Choose any level you like!
This is a brilliant puzzle game that gets the mind firing and is the kind of expereance that makes me feel smarter for having completed it, like my brain just formed new connections.
Overall great concept, perfectly executed, even the music is great.
5 stars all around!
I used my hints for no reason :)
GOOD game but i only really had to use 1 hint on the number pack
I like this game. I wish the pieces were bigger I keep "dropping" them. Also this game really isn't a "girl's" game its a shape fitting game not specifically geared towards either gender.
forsome reasonthis made me want to visit the adult games ??? humm good game indeed
Flash girl games, the profile is run by a man. The "original creator" is a man. I don't see anything girly about putting blocks into place.
That aside, it was a decent puzzle game. But I did not really see much of a challenge, nor an interesting twist.

Note– these are here to help guide you and provide information. As with anything involving electronics, computers, and cars, bad things can happen without proper research and planning. Do your homework. We cannot be responsible for any of your actions or their results whether based on this information or not. Be smart, and be safe… and for goodness sake, don't blow your car up!Call it an LS series, LSx, LS1, Gen III, or Gen IV, the latest evolution of the GM V8 is one of the most popular motors out there today for swaps. MegaSquirt has been a part of the LS motor scene for years, and on this page, we've collected our various tech articles, feature cars, and other information relating to using these motors.
If you're using the MS3-Pro on one of these motors, the wiring and settings to use are in the MS3-Pro manual. We're also working on installing one of these motors in a vintage Chevy pickup – see below.
Before the Extra code team wrote a specialized wheel decoder for the LS motors' ignitions, several builders ran MS1 controlling fuel and a separate spark control box. Today, this isn't necessary; you can put all the fuel and ignition controls in an MS2 or MS3, avoiding the expense of two separate boxes, and giving you a single interface for tuning. Several of the cars we've featured here follow this two box strategy, and have had some spectacular results – but the new one box approach can accomplish even more. You can use a MegaSquirt-II on these engines to get bank to bank fueling and fire the coils in pairs, ora MegaSquirt-III to get full sequential fuel and ignition control. For more about the different MegaSquirt variants and what they do, see our "What MegaSquirt is right for you?" page. The MegaSquirt documentation covers the fuel and ignition settings – see the External Links, below, for details. There's a lot of information on the LS series; we're splitting this into several different articles. For the most part, we will cover this from the standpoint of an LS motor swapped into an earlier race car or street rod.

Results tagged ' Carlos Gomez '
Ike, No Ikettes; C.J.; More Yankee Stadium Demolition
Good call here by me about the Mets not calling up Ike Davis soon.
2010 Forecasts: NL Central
Having already tabbed the Rockies for a possible runaway in the West (pursued perhaps by the Giants), we move to the Central:
may represent a startling fact about this division – there not only isn't a
great team here, there isn't even a good one. The starting line-up is
five-eighths made up of guys who significantly regressed from 2008 to 2009,
plus Marlon Byrd. The new ownership seems to have already committed to the age-old easy way out of worrying more about the ballpark than the ballclub. Larry Rothschild has gratefully plugged Carlos Silva and Tom
Gorzelanny into his rotation. The bullpen is headed by a shaky Carlos Marmol
and not one experienced right-handed set-up man. The Cubs are a mess.
It still
didn't make any sense for CINCINNATI to invest in Scott Rolen, nor bring back
Ramon Hernandez, and with considerable irony, this might as well still be 2007
when the Reds were pinning their hopes on Homer Bailey and Jay Bruce. Their
epiphanies – Bailey's last September, and Bruce's during his injury – must be
lasting for the Reds to compete. But there is at minimum some sense of upswing
in Cincinnati. Dusty Baker gave Drew Stubbs the chance to play last year, and
might even find spots for Aroldis Chapman, Mike Leake, and Yonder Alonso this season. The
bullpen is strong, the rotation potentially deep.
For years,
Terry Francona's top lieutenant, Brad Mills, has deserved a major league team
to manage. He may yet get the chance – for now he's stuck with Houston. There
is an outfield and there are two starting
pitchers (providing Roy Oswalt isn't seriously hurt, and doesn't go home to his
ranch in sheer frustration). The rest of the line-up, and the pitching staff, are disaster areas, made no better by today's news than Lance Berkman's bionic knee is 'cranky.' Things could brighten somewhat if
Matt Lindstrom harnesses his talent, and if Jason Castro or J.R. Towles squat
up behind the plate, and if three fans turn out to be viable starting pitchers.
Otherwise, this is a franchise that has gone to seed.
What's the
psychological saw about repeating the same unsuccessful action with confidence
that this time it
will succeed? The Brewers are confident Dave Bush, Doug Davis, and Manny Parra and/or Jeff Suppan constitute three-fifths of a pitching staff. They're certain Rickie Weeks and
Corey Hart will harness their talent. Everybody knows this is the year Yovanni Gallardo
leaps to the forefront of NL starters. This is a recording. The Brewers will be
deceptively entertaining as long as Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder are around,
and they could get a wonderful spark if Carlos Gomez decides not to style his
way out of the game before his 25th birthday. But all the bullpen depth in the world
isn't going to help that rotation.
deserves better. Surely they are, on average, a better set of players than the
Astros. But nothing seems to progress in Pittsburgh; Andrew McCutchen and
Garrett Jones arise fully grown from the minors, but Freddy Sanchez and Jack
Wilson are dished off. They make a seeming salary dump to Atlanta and in fact
rip the Braves off, selling Nate McLouth at his high point, opening up a spot
for McCutchen, and getting the remarkable arm of Charlie Morton – and Morton is
the only guy in the state who doesn't believe he has a remarkable arm. And still, if
lightning strikes – if Pedro Alvarez, Chase D'Arnaud, and Tim Alderson were all
productive big leaguers by June 1, they'd suddenly have an actual real-life
.500 team. And a .500 team might run away with this division.
Pittsburgh can hope, because
ST. LOUIS is the most overrated team in the majors. Albert Pujols glitters so
brightly, he makes you forget that the rest of the infield is an assortment of
Brendan Ryans and Felipe Lopezes and David Freeses. Chris Carpenter and Adam
Wainwright were so dominant that they obscured the reality of what happened if
you actually beat them on consecutive days – the Cards' season would be snuffed
out in a sweep. This is a team that was ready to trot out a rotation in which
Kyle Lohse, Brad Penny, and Rich Hill would pitch more often than did Carpenter
and Wainwright (the first light bulb going off: giving the fifth spot in the rotation not to Hill but to Jaime Garcia). The bullpen is a jumble, the bench non-existent, and lord help
Tony LaRussa if Yadier Molina is really hurt or Pujols' back is cranky for more
than 45 minutes at a stretch.
You know what? I'll take the long-odds bet on the dice coming up for the Reds
and not the Cardinals. It'll be an exciting race, to see if you actually can
get into the playoffs with 79 victories. Chicago third, Milwaukee fourth just
ahead of Pittsburgh, and Houston sixth, unless they decide to conserve energy
and just forfeit all games in lieu of much needed fielding practice and weeding
through resumes of infielders and pitchers.
Outfield Defense – Again!
OK, I might have to completely revise my assessment of the Yankees. In the Bronx last night, in one of the ten best baseball games I've ever attended, the New York club tied it on Rodriguez's homer, benefitted from a horrible call in rightfield, staved off bases loaded and none out on Robertson's pitching, and got the winning run on Teixeira's parabola off the top of the left field wall.

We begin tonight's "Lie to Me" with a mystery that's a whole lot different than The Lightman Group's typical case — if such a thing exists. Cal and his daughter encounter a road block while on their way to school; a young Indian woman has thrown herself from a bridge — and Cal can't let it go. And in a B story ripped from the headlines, we've got a major Madoff-style swindle and some populist anger from Eli.
Spoilers ahead…
The situation with the young Indian woman has really gotten hold of Cal, and Ria spots him in the office watching a film of a British woman who's clearly been depressed and in a clinical setting, talking about her lessening symptoms. I had this one nailed about 10 seconds in, but I'll keep a lid on it until further down. It turns out that the girl who committed suicide has a sister who committed suicide by jumping off the same bridge just three days before. Both were illegal immigrants, and Cal and Ria head to the department of immigration, and then to their place of employment — a strip club (The immigration guy knew about the place but was nervous discussing it, since he went there sometimes during work hours. In D.C., we called that "going to the ballet at lunch."). The girls worked there for about six months, and it turns out that their gross boss has been videotaping all of the dancers without their knowledge, putting the videos on a web site. When their family found out, their brother told them they were dead to the family and could never come home. Cal suspects the brother of creating a situation in which they had no choice but to commit suicide, but it turns out they made peace.
Then they get word that another young Indian woman has committed suicide by throwing herself onto the Metro tracks. And while she didn't work with the sisters at the strip club, Cal's convinced there's a connection. He's got the whole firm working on this case, and is barking for Gillian, who's out on another investigation. When she finally gets in, they exchange some tense words in low voices in front of the staff as she tries to find out why he missed a meeting with the mayor. It's like mom and dad are fighting, and everyone's on edge.
There's some wonderful stuff in this episode with Cal and his daughter, Emily (Hayley McFarland), and their relationship feels like a real, close — and slightly awkward — relationship between an incredibly observant and nervous father and his precocious teenage daughter. After talking with her, Cal notices on a Metro security tape some discoloration on the face of the third girl — a side effect of pregnancy. All three young women have had a baby within the last two months — and no one knows where the babies are. Throw in a little extra drama: the U.S. Attorney who's working the case is a friend of Cal's ex-wife, and she doesn't exactly pull any punches about what she thinks of him or his work.
They track down the third girl's baby, which is caucasian. She was a surrogate, found through a web site offering a cheaper-than-the-market going rate for surrogates. Which leads Cal and the investigators to what I can only describe (crudely) as a baby lab — with young Indian women as incubators. The conditions are horrible, and after the young women give birth, the owner of the "business" throws them out on the streets. Worse, the "owner" works for the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and is preying upon these young women as they go to renew their visas.
It's horrifying, and Cal can barely contain himself. This man left these young women virtually no choice but to kill themselves, Cal argues, and he had to have known that there was a possibility they'd commit suicide. In fact, the third girl called his cell phone minutes before she jumped onto the tracks. The problem is that he's admitting nothing, and they really can't prove he knew she was going to die, so they have to let him go. But a determined Cal, stopping at nothing to prove a point, stages a scene in which a friend posing as the third girl's father allows him to jack up the pressure on the trafficker, who admits he knew the girl was going to jump, and did nothing. He's charged with second-degree murder.
Back at the office, Cal's re-watching the film of the British woman. Eli told Ria that she was a patient of one of Cal's professors, who ended up killing herself after getting a weekend pass from the hospital. It was Cal's research — slowing the film down — that allowed them to see the microexpressions on her face proving that she was still struggling with the anguish and agony her words and manner were covering up. Then Cal sets up the projector in Emily's room and shows her the film of her grandmother. Yep — saw it coming, and it was still affecting.
The Madoff-like case has Gillian and Eli working for the Securities and Exchange Commission, investigating a financier accused of ripping off pensions. His daughter is defensive, and Eli can't hold back his contempt. Gillian and Eli know he's lying, but at this point the crux of the problem is Eli essentially baiting the guy and his daughter in the interview. Then Gillian and Eli go back to the daughter, suspecting that her father's hiding the money for her — and they realize that she's displaying signs of guilt, likely because her father's taking the blame for her. In the midst of this, though, thehre's a fantastic moment between Ria and Gillian. Ria suspects something's up with Lightman's film, and thinks the woman was Lightman's patient. "Just because you can see everything doesn't mean you understand it," Gillian snaps, telling her to back off. It's a wonderful, almost bared-teeth flash of protectiveness toward Cal, and Kelli Williams makes it believeable.
In fact, she's rather curt throughout the episode — mostly because Eli's gone renegade on the case. The financier admits to Gillian that he took the blame for his daughter, and he promises Gillian that he'll get his daughter to 'fess up all of the account numbers and names of the shell companies where the money's — if they make a deal to let him do the time. Gillian agrees, reasoning that the most important thing is recovering the money for the people who've been ripped off. But Eli's sense of justice is deeply offended, and he argues that unless people like the daughter are punished, they'll keep doing what they're doing. Gillian calls the SEC to tell them about the deal, but instead they're taking the daughter into custody and indicting her — and they won't discuss details.
Furious, she confronts Eli, who convinces her he wasn't the one who dropped the dime — at least enough to get her to drop it. But Mr. Brutal Honesty can't keep quiet, and he tells Ria that he called the Department of Justice and told them about the daughter — and lied to Gillian. He took a sedative to relax his face, he tells a shocked and panicked Ria. And we make it to the end of the episode without resolving this one, so we've got some fireworks ahead.
What did you think? Did you find the surrogate storyline as shocking and sad as I did? What do you think will end up happening to Eli? And it was good to see Gillian be the tough one for once, no?

How to Make a Fall Back Jack from Burger & Barrel
While a good defense can win games, a great contingency plan is equally important to have on-hand.
Bring the same approach to your drinking strategy this weekend -- because the beer will run out eventually-- and rely on the Fall Back Jack. The cocktail, created by the team at Burger & Barrel, combines cinnamon, an orange slice, and brandied cherries with Gosling's rum, Apple Jack, and apple cider. The resulting drink tastes like an American riff on a classic Dark and Stormy, with lingering flavors of sweetness and spice.
The Drink: Fall Back Jack
The Bar: Burger & Barrel
The Price: $13
The Ingredients: 1 sugar cube, 1 brandied cherry, 1 quartered orange slice, 1 pinch of cinnamon, 1 Oz Goslings Rum, 1 Oz Laird's Apple Jack, 2 Oz Apple Cider
The Method: In an mixing glass, muddle the sugar cube, brandied cherry, orange slice, and cinnamon. Add the rum, apple jack, and apple cider. Shake well and pour into an old-fashioned glass (do not strain).

The New Electable Howard Dean
Howard Dean waxed magnanimous Sunday, reacting to the broadly welcomed announcement of Saddam Hussein's arrest. Progress in Iraq could be terrible news for a Democrat running actively on the premise that the war there was wrong.
"This is . . . a great day for America," Dean said, adding that President George W. Bush deserved a "day of celebration." Hussein's arrest, he said, underscored the need to more quickly return sovereignty of Iraq to its people.
His Democratic opponents were not so generous, at least not to him.
Joseph Lieberman moved to inject some life into his wilting campaign with a little domestic bellicosity, saying, "If Howard Dean had his way, Saddam Hussein would still be in power today, not in prison." The Connecticut senator, his hawkish confidence now restored, also called for Hussein to stand trial in the United States, so that he might face the death penalty. John Kerry joined Lieberman in suggesting that their support for the war was now vindicated.

There were no signs, at press time, that much had changed in Iraq. In the last two days car bombs killed 27 Iraqis. An American soldier was killed Sunday while defusing a roadside bomb.
And the Lieberman and Kerry attacks suggest that despite the dramatic capture of Hussein, the Democrats in this primary season are still dealing with the other newsthe emergence of Dean as clear front-runner.
In the past few weeks, Dean has built a commanding lead over his rivals, buoyed most forcefully by the endorsement from Al Gore. Gore's support carried with it the imprimatur of the Democratic respectability that Dean badly needed. Polls showed that after that announcement, Dean became the favorite of Democratic voters nationwide, and importantly, the leader among those in Iowa and New Hampshire.
This month, Dean's campaign has moved past the single issue that his critics said made him unelectablehis anti-war rhetoric. While his innovative and successful fundraising strategy and his healthy poll numbers have been tracked for some time, his policy proposals have been somehow obscured by the very passion that first attracted the crowds.
Officially, his campaign maintains it was never concerned that Dean was becoming too closely identified with his opposition to the invasion of Iraq. The war, said Jay Carson, a Dean spokesperson,"is just a metaphor for standing up for what you believe in."
But any misunder-standing was largely Dean's fault. On a number of frontsincluding foreign policy and the economy, the two areas that Dean has suggested are vital to a successful candidacythe campaign had yet to offer a vision, save some very broad strokes. So in December, Dean looked to define himself, delivering major policy speeches on race, national security, and education. Later this week, he plans to talk about the economy.
Prior to Hussein's capture, and indeed before Gore's endorsement, Dean realized that to navigate the waters of 2004, he was going to need a bigger boat.
Dean's speech Monday in Los Angeles was his first serious foreign policy foray since September, when he wrote an editorial on national security in The Arizona Republic. "The capture of Saddam is a good thing, which I hope very much will keep our soldiers safer," he told the audience in L.A. "But the capture of Saddam has not made America safer."
Stressing that his position on the war had not changed, Dean moved on to the matter that he surely hopes will move voters come election time: national security, and the threats still posed by weapons of mass destruction.
The former governor also devoted time to what one of his advisers called "a foreign policy that brings hope and opportunity to people around the world," and included his global initiative on HIV/AIDS, and debt relief for poor nations.
Taken together, it was a radical revision of Bush Abroad, carefully structured to include all the relevant vocabulary. Dean knows that WMDs and terrorism are threats that scare Americans; instead of ignoring this, he sought to prove that he could be tough, too.
"I will call on the most powerful armed forces the world has ever known to ensure the security of this nation," he said.
He rolled out his "kitchen cabinet," a mix of Clinton-era diplomats, former generals, and other think tank types, including the Brookings Institution's Ivo Daalder. The names will hearten moderates, and assuage the Democratic leadership, worried that the presumptive nominee was a bit on the crunchy side.
In an interview on Saturday with The Washington Post, Dean offered other details, promising shifts of U.S. policy towards North Korea, Palestine, and Iraq. He advocated bilateral talks with the regime of Kim Jong Il, and embraced the Geneva Accord as a basis for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. He also called for immediate elections in Iraq to replace the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council there.
His thoughts on Iraq were most anticipated, and not just because of recent events. Candidates like Clark and Kerry have flaunted their experience, both as soldiers and participants in a number of international conflicts. Dean has no real foreign policy experience, and has displayed a lack of depth when answering questions about post-war Iraq.
It's not clear if his policies will go far enough to satisfy some of Dean's early supporters, and progressives that have rallied to his side. Many will note that the more controversial proposals did not make it to the body of his speech.
Franklin Kramer, a former official in the Clinton administration and one of Dean's advisers, called the candidate a "centrist."
"He is not in any way opposed to the use of force," he said. "And he believes in the approach that has worked for the U.S. for many years," a mix of military pressure, diplomacy, "and activities that go beyond thatgenerating coalitions and partnerships."

A week before Sunday's news from Iraq, Dean tackled America's racial politics, trying to go beyond the conventional appeal to just say no to Bush.
He traveled to Reverend Joiquim Barnes's small church in Columbia, South Carolina, where he was joined on the dais by another big drawCongressman Jesse Jackson Jr. At ease and popular in this setting, Jackson would speak first and introduce Dean, who is still finding his way in front of black audiences.
Oddly, the church wasn't nearly full.
The day before, Dean had thrown out "the red meat"the nickname for his stump speechto the party faithful at the Florida Democratic Convention, a hyped-up, placard-waving throng in the ballroom at a Disney World hotel. When he was done, he strolled out of the giant hall, sucking out all the life he had stirred, and a lot of the people too. Poor Dennis Kucinich was left appealing for courage and change to a half-full room.
But the ground under this church at the intersection of Ridgewood and Wildsmere in Columbia was less familiar, and possibly more important.
Dean has to prove to his doubters that he can compete for votes, both black and white, in the South. His campaign hopes that after his stops here, the excitement will follow him, eventually leaving competitors like Dick Gephardt, Wesley Clark, and John Edwards nothing but half-full rooms. For the moment, though, polls show that Dean still trails all of those men in conservative South Carolina. And while black voters are strongly anti-war, and a majority of them oppose Bush, they are far from decided that Dean represents the best alternative.
Congressman Jackson took the stage, filling the church hollows with a highly charged sermon. Reminding parishioners of his family's deep roots in South Carolina, he recounted the biblical tale of General Naaman, the Syrian leper who, despite his record of great military service, could not shake the stigma of his disease.
"Christ did not die on this altar between these two candles," he continued, his arms outstretched and his hands now quivering.
"He died on Calvary between two thieves. Betweentwo pimps, if you will. Between two pushers."
This was allegory. The sick in America deserve health care, Jackson reasoned. "Betweentwo health care thieves," he exclaimed. Millions of children expected higher-quality education, the congressman thundered. "Betweentwo education thieves!"
Murmurs of broad agreement floated up from the congregation, hit the low roof of the church, and journeyed toward Jackson, who by now was running very hot. "The Christ that we serve, died engaged in the process for change," he said. The congregation now had Jesus on its side, a reason to shout. "You've gotta believe that we can beat George Bush."
Howard Dean weighed the speech, smiled, and surely wondered how on earth he would top it. At least Jackson had played to Dean's strengths, citing issues he hopes will define his campaign: health care, jobs, and education.
Taking his turn at the pulpit, he spoke slowly and softly. "I have to follow Reverend Barnes," he said, smiling. "I have to follow Congressman Jackson. I have to follow the choir?" He looked around, soaking up a bit of sympathetic laughter.
"I am grateful to be here," he began.
Two days later, Dean was indisputably the man to beat.
This was a collision of happy accidents, the fruits of a shrewd campaign, or maybe parts of both. But on December 9, two days after the trip to South Carolina, Al Gore endorsed Dean, ending, in the minds of many pundits, the Democratic nomination race.
There was wide speculation on why it had happened and what it meant. To some, the endorsement heralded the start of a new, powerful faction of the Democratic Party. A ragtag guerrilla movement mobilized on the Internet, united in opposition to the war in Iraq, and made powerful by liberal groups like MoveOn.org, Meetup.com, and the myriad activist groups thriving under the Dean campaign umbrella.
Much hay was also made of Gore's personal motivations. Perhaps this was a parry of the Clintons' support for General Clark. Or simply recognition that whatever the Democratic Party stood for when Gore ruled the roost, it needed an overhaul, and Dean was the man to do it.
Gore, speaking in Harlem, called Howard Dean the only candidate "who has been able to inspire [voters] at the grassroots level." The former vice president all but called on the rest of the Democratic hopefuls to drop out of the race. "Democracy is a team sport," he warned. "We can't afford to be divided amongst ourselves." On the strength of the endorsement, Dean was able to raise almost $700,000.
"Eight months ago, Howard Dean was no one with nothing from nowhere," said Phil Noble, head of South Carolina's Democratic Leadership Council. "Now it's over, except for the countin' and the shoutin'."
To viewers just tuning in to the Dean show, Gore's surprising stamp of approval was a windfall. But to some who had been watching, the doctor's horse was simply winning, and Gore wanted part of it.
That day in South Carolina, Dean delivered a serious speech on race, not at Joiquim's church but before a mostly white crowd in a hotel conference room. He charged that Republicans since the Nixon administration had been running their Southern campaigns based on "guns, God, and gays." He reminded the group that phrases like "racial quotas" and "welfare queens" were code, signals to white America that "minorities were to blame for all of America's problems." Dean's speech emphasized a commonality of concerns, irrespective of race.
"There is nothing black or white about having to live from one paycheck to another," he told the crowd. "Jobs, health care, education, democracy, and opportunity. These are the issues that can unite America."
Dean has spoken on these issues before, but never in as much detail. And he did it in the South, with Jesse Jackson Jr. at his side.
"He came and delivered a message," said Phil Noble, who watched the speech. "That's unusual for a politician, and vital in South Carolina." Noble also noticed how white the room was, and he blamed the Internet. While online organizing has been Dean's great strength, many blacks don't have access to computers, fueling the charge that the campaign is indifferent to black voters.
"If you sat down and designed a candidate to be maximally attractive to Southern voters, it wouldn't be Howard Dean," said Noble. "But that doesn't mean we won't accept him. He talks a little funny, but our ears will get attuned." Southerners, Noble pointed out, are "disproportionately without health care, insecure about jobs, and grossly disproportionately concerned with poor education in schools."
"Besides," said Noble, "Southerners like feisty people. And Dean is a Yankee redneck."
At the end of Dean's remarks, he and Jackson performed a kind of duet. After Jackson called up voters who might not be registeredbecause they had changed their names or were about to turn 18Dean shook their hands. Jackson, like his father, prides himself on his voter registration work.
The congressman was effusive after the speech, telling reporters how impressed he was with the outreach message and pledging to work "this entire state on behalf of Governor Dean." But when questioned about Dean's contention that there are only "human concerns"and not, perhaps, issues that just affect blacksJackson seemed to hesitate.
"I think he understands this issue enough, and he will grow beyond this point," he said.
By week's end, Representatives Jesse Jackson Jr., Robert Scott, and Elijah Cummings had all endorsed Dean. The Black Commentator, a widely read progressive online journal, called his speech "the most important statement on race in American politics by a mainstream white politician in nearly 40 years."
Last month, a reporter spotted a printout tacked to a wall in Dean's New York campaign headquarters. It was a posting from the Note, ABC News' website on politics. Entries on a long list of observations about the Dean campaign included: "What doesn't kill Howard Dean only makes him stronger"; and "Howard Dean Doesn't Have Cable TV."
Observation #16 was more serious, if not a little wordy.
"Dean can theoretically win a general election race against President Bush, but not without growing significantly as a candidate and a person, including and especially in rhetorical and symbolic relationship to faith, family, freedom, and national security."
Eric Schmeltzer, the campaign's New York press secretary, admitted he hadn't even noticed the entry. The list was on the wall, he said, because of observation #18, which claimed that Dean staffers have more fun than those who work for other campaigns.
But #16 seems to have been internalized, and in Decemberdespite the Dean campaign's attempts to deny the changea transformation seemed to be under way.
So Dean stood at the pulpit that Sunday in South Carolina, anxious to make new friends. He had listened to Jackson, his host in the South, and had perhaps considered articulating a little faith, freedom, and values.
"I'm reminded that Jesus saw the woman at the well," he said. "I'm reminded that Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple. I'm reminded that Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for they had everything and gave nothing to those who were in need." This was more Jesus than anyone could remember from the former governor. All the allegory needed was a little direction.
"We need jobs in this country," said Dr. Dean. Then he threw out the red meat.

His record since the last suberbowl is still better than the record our current coach has. Not to mention he has won 2 superbowls, he'd be an asset to any team. Some times it's just better to part ways after a tenure that long.

His record since the last suberbowl is still better than the record our current coach has. Not to mention he has won 2 superbowls, he'd be an asset to any team. Some times it's just better to part ways after a tenure that long.
If the the Chiefs don't even consider an interview with him and extend one to the recently (today) canned Mike Martz, sell your season tickets.
Shanahan's one of the best coaches in the NFL.
I can't believe some of the stuff you guys are saying. There might not be a better gametime coach in the league. I'd love to have him coach in KC.
You must be hanging out with Tamaric Vanover in the crack shacks. Shanahan is one of the winningest coaches of all time. He had too much on his plate, he was Carl Peterson, plus the head coach. You get this guy in a position as a coach only and watch what happens. This guy will win another Super Bowl, lets hope its for us. Im gonna go out on a limb and say that if Shanny isnt our next coach, Ill be dissapointed, period!
He's a dirty SOB but he's a good coach.
I'm torn about whether I would want him in KC though.
Wins do mean a lot to a team, but I've hated him for much longer than Herm.
Yeah but you have only hated him because he was in Denver, there is not team in this league I cheer against more outside of oakland and indy. I'll never get over that playoff game and the beating I took after the game. I say it in jest, but I'd burn that town down...indy that is.
2 superbowl wins is all I need to know...at least interview the guy.
Our division is becoming bad, so this would be the best time for the Chiefs to rise up. San Diego will not be the same without Marty. Denver will become a losing team without Shanahan. And I doubt we will ever have to fear about Oakland.
Shanahan will be a good coach wherever he goes. I wouldn't mind him here in KC. I think if we needed someone to turn around the defense, he could do it. I'm not saying he is the only one, but he can be the one to do it. I am just not sure if he'll want to come to KC.
But Mike Martz? Really? I don't think he has what it takes to be a head coach. He barely made it as an offensive coordinator.

text: Paducah, KY – The Reidland-Farley Fire Department board of trustees met last night and implemented a number of initiatives designed to bolster the organization's credibility. They approved a special audit of all checks issued over the past year to Chief Richard Tapp and former employee Justin Adams. The board voted to fire Adams, who they claim hasn't cooperated in providing information on the status of a federal grant for a rescue boat. What to do with the boat will be decided by a three-member committee. The Paducah Sun reports the board also reversed a reorganization plan instituted by Chief Tapp last month, which demoted several veteran firefighters.

Freelance photographer Ted Soqui was on the scene of a Occupy LA protest at Bank of America in Downtown LA back in November, hoping to get some interesting shots.
"The light was perfect, and I saw these people standing there, and it was like, this was a great opportunity for some photography," said Soqui.
One of the young women in the crowd stood out: 25-year-old Highland resident Sarah Mason.
Soqui started snapping away as she linked arms with other protestors.
"She had confidence for that moment, and for the Occupy movement, and even though she was locked into this human chain of people, they were locked arms," said Soqui.
An image Soqui took of Mason was transformed into the cover photo of TIME Magazine's "Person of the Year" issue.
Soqui said he's thrilled, but Sarah Mason is a bit overwhelmed.
"I think she's finally getting a grasp of it," said Soqui. "It's important that world leaders will see this from the common man, to the President, to Prime Ministers. Everyone in the world will recognize the person of the year."
