T-Mobile eyes hotspots and Sprint femtocells
As Alltel scores points
The need for new tariff structures and better indoor penetration to support quad play applications is driving the current intense interest in femtocells (miniaturized indoor base stations about the size and range of a Wi-Fi access point, but integrated with the carrier network and under the carrier's control).
Majors like Ericsson are starting to enter the fray, indicating that the tier one carriers are also starting to show a real commercial interest. Wi-Fi/cellular integration using techniques like UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access) has dominated indoor/outdoor convergence efforts in the past two years, and will remain popular with operators like T-Mobile that have heavy investment in Wi-Fi. But the superior control that operators gain from femtocells is now attracting many big names towards trials, especially as this approach promises better evolution to IMS and all-IP, plus the usual benefits of indoor penetration and offloading of traffic from the main network. Telefónica O2 will be among the pioneers, but as so often, the industry, particularly its CDMA and WiMAX portions, is looking to Sprint Nextel for a lead in a new technology.
Sprint recently issued a request for proposals for 'low cost internet base stations', which fleshes out its earlier general comments about using picocells to improve coverage in office buildings and other complexes. It is essential, if Sprint Nextel's WiMAX-based services are really to be clearly differentiated from those on 3G, that they support strong indoor penetration, and therefore genuine convergence between mobile and home services, going well beyond the cellphone to embrace delivery to set-top boxes and future devices. To achieve this, the operator would need to make a significant investment in microcells and femtocells to make this convergence into a consumer play across its whole proposed coverage area, rather than just a method to improve quality within large buildings such as malls.
It is not clear whether these miniature stations would be specific to the proposed WiMAX network or would also support the CDMA EV-DO system. In the latter case, companies with a CDMA heritage would be hopeful of making the shortlist - Airwalk and Airvana spring to mind among the specialists, and could net a partnership with a larger Sprint supplier without its own femtocell offering. Among the equipment makers currently supporting Sprint's WiMAX and EV-DO build-outs, Nokia plans to use RadioFrame's UMTS product but has not indicated plans for WiMAX femtocells; Alcatel Lucent has been working with ip.access; Nortel has not shown its hand; Motorola has its own product in the shape of the AXPT and is likely to adapt current products for 802.16.
The most hopeful of the majors currently must be Samsung, which recently unveiled its Ubicell in CDMA and UMTS variants, and is said to be working on a WiMAX implementation. Samsung says Sprint is currently trialing UbiCell on its EV-DO network, which could be a blow to RadioFrame, which is an incumbent supplier of indoor/outdoor iDEN base station units at Nextel.
Although its recent expansion into femtocells has focused on GSM, it is also promising a WiMAX product, and will hope to build on its existing contacts within Sprint Nextel. Radioframe talks up several claims that will be relevant to Sprint - the prospect of a $100 price tag, bringing femtocells into line with Wi-Fi access points, and a highly scalable 'collapsed base station architecture' that could potentially support millions of femtocells. This architecture collapses the functions of much of the radio management into RadioFrame's picocell and femtocell base stations at the edge of the network allowing a virtually unlimited number of stations to connect to the core. This is also a concept in advanced development at Alcatel Lucent with their Base Station Router platform, already adopted by Japan's Softbank, which can work with third party femtocells such as those from ip.access.
The prospect of tier one carrier contracts for hundreds of thousands of femtocells in the 2008-2010 period will also lure new chipmakers into the sector. The UK's PicoChip is currently the strongest contender, powering many of the early products, (and with CDMA capability through an alliance with Global Wireless Technologies of New Jersey, but the big names will soon start piling in too.
A possible Sprint deal will pique Qualcomm's interest, especially if it decides on a major CDMA component - the giant has already hinted at plans for a femtocell for CDMA2000 and for multiple radios. RadioFrame is developing its own architecture, OmniFrame, and Texas Instruments' plans are also being closely watched.

MARIBOR, Slovenia (Jan. 27) - Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, CO) finished eighth in the Maribor slalom to retain her lead in the Audi FIS Alpine World Cup slalom points going into Tuesday's City Event in Moscow. Race winner Tina Maze did not dissapoint her home town crowd and produced a brilliant wire-to-wire victory for her seventh win of the season. Maze now leads the overall World Cup standings with a massive 1,654 points, more than double runner-up Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany. Lindsey Vonn (Vail, CO) is third, Shiffrin seventh and Julia Mancuso (Squaw Valley, CA) eighth.
QUOTESAlex Hoedlmoer, Head CoachIn the first run, Mikaela was fastest in the first split and second fastest at the last split, but she had three really big mistakes in the middle. The snow was pretty tricky, there were a couple of gates where it was slick and then the rest was grippy. I think it was a lot more grippy that what she expected. In the second run, she just wasn't pushing as hard as she normally does, but it was still a good result.
Lindsey and Julia used this as a training run for the World Championships super combined. They were here for the giant slalom, so we took advantage of the opportunity. There's a lot of really great things happening with the women's team as a whole and it will be exciting to see what they can do in Schladming.

ROME — Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley will be back in his nondescript brick office building in Braintree by the end of the week, the splendors of Rome and the drama of the papal conclave behind him.
But he will not be quite the same archbishop he was when he left. O'Malley's unexpected emergence in the last month as a serious papabile, or contender for the papacy, has elevated his image in Rome and in Boston, where he has led the Roman Catholic archdiocese since 2003.
Observers say that O'Malley's moment in the spotlight could propel him into a more prominent role in the worldwide church. It might also offer a boost at home, where a decade into his tenure, he continues to face daunting challenges: Pews are emptying, finances remain strained, and he is in the midst of an ambitious effort to reorganize the archdiocese in hopes of changing those dynamics.
The Rev. Chip Hines, pastor of St. Joseph Church in Medford, said he was glad to see photos of O'Malley in Rome looking "relaxed and content" while spending time with the other cardinals.
"Sometimes, I think the stress of being here in Boston, making all these decisions — the buck stops with you — I think that puts a lot of pressure on Cardinal Sean," he said.
After the conclave last week — when Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was chosen to succeed Pope Benedict XVI — O'Malley deflected a question about how his brush with the papacy would affect him going forward.
"I hope it means I get free dinners in the North End," he said with a laugh.
But John Allen, the Vatican correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter newspaper, said O'Malley emerges from the conclave with a new status.
"I don't know before this anyone looked at Sean O'Malley as any kind of superstar, but on the back of the Roman love affair of the last three weeks, people will probably see him through a new lens," he said.
Allen said O'Malley has long been regarded as a specialist in addressing sexual abuse, but his papabile moment has broadened his profile. In the coming months and years, Allen said, the Boston prelate may be offered more invitations to advise Rome on church councils and commissions.
Allen said O'Malley may also be asked to speak at major events, perhaps at World Youth Day, which often attracts more than a million young people, and he will be in Brazil this summer. (O'Malley usually attends World Youth Day and had already planned to attend.)
O'Malley could also be considered for jobs in the Curia, the Vatican bureaucracy. There's no way of knowing the likelihood of O'Malley being chosen for a post in Rome — which would require him to leave Boston — but one possibility for the Capuchin friar would be running the department that oversees religious orders.
Many observers, however, doubt O'Malley would want such a job. And Allen said the Vatican may see the cardinal as more valuable in helping advance the church's agenda in the United States.
When the Vatican says, " 'We need a cardinal who can step in and hit a home run for us on something,' they will tend to think of O'Malley," Allen said.
Thomas Groome, a Boston College theology professor, said O'Malley might also be someone Pope Francis leans upon for advice, particularly because the leader of the Boston church appears to have much in common with the new pope.
O'Malley is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and is a member of the Capuchin Franciscans, a religious order named for St. Francis of Assisi, in whose honor Bergoglio chose his papal name.
Like Bergoglio did as archbishop of Buenos Aires, O'Malley lives in a modest rectory rather than a fancy chancery.
O'Malley visited Bergoglio at his home in Buenos Aires in 2010 while on business for the US bishops. He described it as a social visit, and said they talked about mutual friends and that Bergoglio gave him a CD of an Argentine Mass.
"He is, I'd say, a friend of this new pope," Groome said. "I could definitely see the pope calling on Cardinal Sean for advice."
If so, sexual abuse watchdog groups say they hope O'Malley will push Francis to hold bishops accountable for enforcing policies to protect children and remove abusive priests from ministry, something O'Malley identified as an important issue in an interview before the conclave.
"Even though we have all kinds of bones to pick with him," said Terence McKiernan of BishopAccountability.org, "I think he has much to contribute."
Groome said he would like to see O'Malley advocate for something bold, such as the end of mandatory priestly celibacy.
Some say this rule may change eventually because there is no theological obstacle, and married Anglican priests are now being allowed to convert to Catholicism as clergy. Eastern Orthodox churches allow married men to become priests, but men who are single when ordained must remain celibate.
This may be wishful thinking; O'Malley is a firm traditionalist and has never raised the issue. But Groome said the cardinal might consider it because of the shortage of priests.
O'Malley has also deepened relationships with other prelates during the conclave, something that Scot Landry, the archdiocese's secretary for Catholic media, said might prove helpful in getting phone calls or letters answered more quickly.
"Italian culture puts an emphasis on good relationships," he said.
In recent years, O'Malley has receded from the spotlight in Boston, as the controversies that dominated the early part of his tenure — clergy sexual abuse and church closings — have quieted.
Bookish and somewhat reticent, he is not as politically or socially connected as some of his predecessors, such as Cardinals Bernard F. Law and Richard Cushing. His responsibilities as a cardinal require him to travel a great deal, further distancing him from local events.
His sudden status as a papabile thrust him back into the conversation, and much of the attention has been positive. Monsignor William Fay, pastor of St. Columbkille Church in Brighton, said his parishioners noted the similarities between Francis and O'Malley with pride.
"I think what people are feeling is, 'My gosh, he really could have been elected,' " he said.
Landry said many bostonians may have gotten to know o'malley better by watching and reading about him during the conclave.
"I think these holy week liturgies may be the most packed ever," he said, referring to the masses o'malley says at the cathedral of the holy cross.
But soon, O'Malley is likely to be consumed with a sweeping "pastoral planning" project, an ambitious and risky effort that will dominate his agenda for at least the next five years.
In an effort to conserve money and deal with the declining ranks of priests, the archdiocese is trying to group 288 parishes into about 135 clusters, assigning one or more priests and a single contingent of staff and lay leaders to each cluster.
Hoping to avoid the public relations catastrophe that occurred nine years ago when the archdiocese closed dozens of churches, O'Malley has approached this plan with caution. No churches will be shuttered; clergy and parishioners were widely consulted during a two-year planning phase; and leaders at every level will undergo extensive training intended to help make the plan work.
But it will undoubtedly cause consternation. Many priests will assume responsibility for multiple parishes, in some cases adding stress to an already difficult job. Parishes will have to work more closely with each other than ever before. And some parish staff may lose their jobs.
"In some places, collaboration is going to work great, it's going to go smoothly and be wonderful," said Hines, the pastor from Medford. "In other places, it will be like pulling teeth, dragging people along."
For O'Malley, "the challenge is going to be just being able to put a public smile on the whole thing," he said.
The ultimate goal is to bolster what the church calls "The New Evangelization" — bringing inactive Catholics back to church and inviting new people in. It is an urgent concern of O'Malley's at a time when surveys have shown that just 16 percent of baptized Catholics go to Mass each week, down from 70 percent in 1970.
But some skeptics see the plan as a backdoor way to close churches, despite assurances from the archdiocese that this is not the goal.
"A decade ago, when the downsizing tsunami was set in motion, there were about 400 parishes; by the latest plan, the total will shrink to about 130 'collaboratives' in a few years," said Peter Borré, a Boston lawyer who advocates on behalf of churches facing closure.
"This retreat is completely at variance with the expansive vision of the Jesuits, one of whose 'soldiers' " — Pope Francis, a Jesuit — "has now scaled the heights."
The archdiocese said that in fact there were 357 parishes before the church closings almost a decade ago and that it is not closing churches or parishes this time.
Kellyanne Dignan, a spokeswoman for the archdiocese, said the whole point of O'Malley's reorganization is to strengthen parishes so they can address what the church sees as the root cause of its priest shortage, financial issues, and empty pews.
"The cause is that people have become weary of faith, have forgotten about the centrality of Christ in their lives," she said. "If we address that cause — that's what the New Evangelization aims do — then the symptoms go away."
O'Malley is also fighting to keep Catholic schools from closing; as in much of the country, enrollment has been declining for decades.
Jack Connors Jr., a retired advertising executive and leading fund-raiser for the Catholic schools, said O'Malley is determined to reverse that trend, too.
"The cardinal has drawn a line in the sand and said, 'We're going to fight to keep some of these great schools open,' " Connors said.Lisa Wangsness can be reached at email@example.com.
Clarification: An earlier version of this story about Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley said that Eastern Orthodox priests are allowed to marry. Eastern Orthodox churches allow married men to become priests, but men who are single when ordained must remain celibate.

- Champions League
Celtic skipper Brown out of Juve tie
Celtic captain Scott Brown is out of the Champions League last-16 second-leg tie with Juventus due to a hip injury.
The Hoops' skipper is waiting to hear from a specialist about a long-term abductor problem and whether he will need surgery on it.
His side will carry a 3-0 deficit to Turin and Brown's absence will significantly hamper their already slim hopes of qualifying for the quarter-finals.
When asked if Brown was definitely out, Celtic boss Neil Lennon said: "Oh yes I would imagine so. He is out indefinitely. We are still waiting to hear from the specialist, whether he requires surgery or not and I am hoping we will get a definitive answer by the end of the week."
The 27-year-old will also miss Scotland's World Cup qualifying double-header with Wales and Serbia in March.
Lennon confirmed he will also be without full-back Mikael Lustig with a thigh injury, but hopes Charlie Mulgrew will recover from a glute injury to play against the Italian league leaders.

St. Paul, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - Jason Pominville scored the winner with 5:28 to play as the Minnesota Wild took a 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Friday.
Pominville scored twice and added an assist while Nino Niederreiter and Justin Fontaine each had a goal for the Wild, who have won four of their last five. Josh Harding gave up three goals on 31 shots.
"We talked a lot earlier in the year about finishing and they did a good job tonight," said Minnesota head coach Mike Yeo. "We have guys here who are capable of taking advantage of the opportunities presented to them and we saw that tonight."
P.K. Subban had a goal and an assist while Andrei Markov assisted on all three goals for the Canadiens, who had won three of four coming in. Carey Price allowed all four goals on 25 shots.
Montreal had rallied from two goals down to tie the game in the third, but the Wild went on top with 5:28 to play.
Keith Ballard blasted a shot from the high slot that Zach Parise had knocked down with the stick in the slot. The puck then went to the left side where Pominville swept it in for a 4-3 lead.
Montreal pulled Price in the final minute for an extra attacker, but was unable to net the equalizer before time expired.
Fontaine got Minnesota on the board just 5:45 into the game with his fourth of the year, but Brendan Gallagher answered 25 seconds later on a deflection of a Alex Galchenyuk shot.
Pominville's first of the game at 8:41 of the second period off a wrister gave the Wild a 2-1 lead.
The Wild took a 3-1 lead at 4:02 of the third as Mikael Granlund sent a pass from the right boards to the side of the net where Niederreiter got a stick on it to tip the puck high under the crossbar.
Montreal, though, got one back three minutes later as Subban's one-timer from the left point on the power play made it a 3-2 game.
The Habs then tied the game at 10:13 as Markov's slap shot from the right point was tipped in by Brian Gionta in front of the net.
"We didn't play a full game," Gionta said. "We had spurts where we did it and you saw that we were successful at that time, but this league is too tough. You've got to do it for 60 minutes to get wins."
Game Notes
Montreal plays in Colorado on Saturday ... Minnesota hosts New Jersey on Sunday ... Montreal had won four of five against Minnesota coming into the game ... Ballard and Granlund each had two assists ... Ballard had missed the previous seven games with a concussion, while Minnesota forward Charlie Coyle and defenseman Jonas Brodin also returned to play. Coyle had missed 11 straight with a sprained knee, while Brodin had been out with a broken cheekbone suffered on Oct. 22 after a puck hit his face.

A little timeout from college football to welcome the newest Piston
But will he be welcome back in Michigan? Judging by the standing ovation that he received by Piston fans at The Palace while he attended Monday's game, and when he entered the game on Wednesday, it would seem like all is forgotten. But then maybe there were a lot of Spartan fans in attendance.
Webber has been persona non grata in Ann Arbor, and among most Michigan fans ,since it was alleged that he accepted $280,000 from former Michigan booster Ed Martin. In 2002, Webber admitted that he lied to a grand jury which was investigating Martin.
In this age of athletes getting cheered despite being hardened criminals, serial abusers, and having more kids out of wedlock than they do rebounds per game, all Webber has on his blotter is perjury. Not exactly a spotless record, but hardly a menace to society.
Of course Michigan fans take the perjury personally. Webber's eventual admission of accepting money from Martin continued Michigan's death spiral in basketball that began when Webber called the ill-fated timeout in the championship game against North Carolina in 1993. The Wolverines have made the NCAA tournament only four times since then, and not at all since 1998.
There's no doubt that Webber deserves blame for helping ruin Michigan basketball after his departure for the NBA. And though taking money from a booster is not a crime to society at large, as college athletics go, it's severe. But to continue to loathe Chris Webber - and to blame him for the current sad state of Michigan basketball - is excessive.
Would I cheer for Webber when Mason introduces him at The Palace if I were in attendance? Probably not. But I also wouldn't boo him and/or heckle him throughout the game. My hatred for Webber, much like his effect on the Michigan basketball program, has washed away.
The following is a rebuttal by Yost to Benny's post above.
I still loathe him. He's a cheater. Period. Next question.

Webber certainly harmed the program. However, there were two other incidents that harmed it more. The first was Steve Fisher's complete inability to coach players. The team was entirely frustrating when I was there ('97 grad). So much so, that I stopped rooting for Michigan, started pulling for Illinois and NONE of my friends thought that was unreasonable. Robert Traylor weighed 350 pounds and couldn't box out. He should have been doing that by accident.
The other incident was the car crash well outside of Ann Arbor when Mateen Cleaves was on his recruiting visit. They violated NCAA recruiting laws by taking him off campus to begin with. And they were driving a car that had some sketchy ownership. I can't remember all the details, but I can remember that it was a really big deal.
I'm not saying Webber was blameless, but it's not as if the program tried to clean things up after that. I was always terrified that Fisher's basketball program was somehow going to hurt football or hockey via the NCAA.

I guess I've always taken a bit of ostrich-eye view of Webber's transgressions. I was in school with the Five, played ball with them on the court in front of South Quad, and enjoyed the hell out of their Tournament runs. The TO was gut-wrenching, but I'm not going to crucify him for a panicky brain-fart.
And not to defend him excessively, but breaking NCAA rules and cheating on the court aren't quite the same thing (unless you're referrring to something else, Yost). Barry Bonds is a cheater; Webber was a 19 year-old kid with a stack of cash in his face. And are we going to pretend he was the only athelete on campus taking money or favors from boosters? Doesn't make it okay, but let's be real.
P.S. See, no pop-ups!

I'm with Yost. Screw him. Webber's a douchebag.
$280,000 is still more than most nba players were making at the time of his infractions. He knew what he was doing and he didn't care. He hung a lot of people out to dry to cover his own ass and stained the University.
As far as I'm concerned he's not welcome at Crisler, on campus, or even in Ann Arbor.

I guess since we're getting to the point where the incoming freshmen will be just have been born during the fab five days, Webber will be forgiven and probably be around the program much more when the restraining order expires.
Not me... those were my days at U-M. I wouldn't give Webber the sweat off of my balls in a water shortage. I don't care that the University makes money off of their athletes. That argument is tired and lame. And when one accepts a full ride, and signs their name to the dotted line, they fully should understand what they are getting into – and that doesn't include "back pay" from boosters.
Do I hate Webber... no. I don't hate anyone. But Webber did nothing to tarnish our beloved institution and anyone who carries the title of "Michigan Man" (or Woman).

DETROIT (AP) — Bankrupt Detroit and its retirees reached an agreement in a health insurance dispute that may end a lawsuit against the city.
Retirees filed suit in November to stop the city from shifting retirees to Medicare and giving those under age 65 a $125 monthly stipend to get their own insurance.
The parties reached a deal in principle Thursday night covering benefits through the end of 2014, mediators in Detroit's bankruptcy said Friday in a statement.
Some features of the deal include the increase to $300 in the monthly stipend for retirees over age 65 who are not eligible for Medicare. The stipend for retirees under age 65 will be upped to $175 if the household income is less than $75,000 and the retiree acquires insurance under a health care exchange.
A court hearing set for next week has been canceled.
"The settlement was reached after intensive bargaining sessions over the past few weeks," mediators said.
The office of state-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr said Friday in a release that the city also will extend the deadline to Feb. 7 for Medicare-eligible retirees to opt out of a city-sponsored Medicare Advantage plan.
"The agreement must be reduced to writing and approved by the respective clients," Orr's office said. "Once executed, the lawsuit will be dismissed."
Orr was hired last March to fix Detroit's finances. He has said Detroit's debt is at least $18 billion and filed for bankruptcy in July. The city's bankruptcy petition was approved in December.
Earlier this week, he submitted a preliminary plan for restructuring Detroit's debt to city creditors. He expects to file the plan in bankruptcy court in about two weeks.

PRINCETON — The Bureau County Metro Center in Princeton will be closed three days next week for parking lot repair.
Princeton Park District Executive Director Elaine Russell has announced the Metro Center will be closed Aug. 26, 27 and 28 for the repair project. The entire facility will be closed.
"We have been told that once the project is started it should only take two to three days, of course depending on the weather," Russell said. "Again, we will use all means of communication including Facebook and our website www.princetonparkdistrict.org to communicate the re-opening."
The outdoor Alexander Swimming Pool will be open during the regular Metro Center pool hours, weather permitting, Russell said. The Metro Center pool schedule can be found on the park district's website or a copy of the schedule is available at the front desk of the Metro Center.
"The board and staff of the Bureau County Metro Center do not want to inconvenience anyone by closing, however, this is a much needed project," Russell said. "Please mark your calendars to check regularly with us for updated information."
As reported earlier in the Bureau County Republican, Superintendent of Parks Keith Scherer said the parking lot project at the Metro Center will include the removal and paving of the center island that currently designates parking spaces for patrons. The project will also include the resurfacing of a dumpster collection site on the east side of the building.
At its July 15 meeting, the park board awarded the Phase 1 parking lot project to Advanced Asphalt with a low bid of $43,602. Phase 2 of the project will include the resurfacing of the remainder of the Metro Center parking lot and will come from the 2014-15 fiscal year budget, with bids for Phase 2 expected to go out next year.

Eulala was a woman of many talents. She loved to crochet, knit, sew and did some tatting. She also read often, raised a garden yearly and canned everything. She and her husband would take their two boys fishing a lot.
She was preceded in death by her husband, John, who passed away Sept. 25, 1957; her parents and siblings, Leon, Wanda, Darrell, Joyce, Vivien and Ed; and a granddaughter-in-law, Stacy Simper.

In everything in life, there are amateurs, and there are professionals. Take golf, for instance.
It's a game that a lot of us in the green industry play (and often misplay!). Any amateur golfer can get himself outfitted at a sporting goods store.
However, no serious golfer, let alone a PGA professional, would buy gear at a chain sporting goods store.
If you're serious about golf, you want the services of a professional—to fit your clubs and offer access to the greatest variety of shoes, clothing, balls, and the like. You want a shop that embraces the latest golf technology. A shop with reliability and accountability; a place that remembers you and asks about your overall game.
It's no different in our industry. Your local big-box store may be the destination of choice for the average mow-blow-and-go guy, but a serious green industry professional needs more.
How do you determine what kind of landscape and irrigation supplier is right for you? In today's competitive world, these stores are vying for your business.
Some will offer lower prices; others will offer you service, and still others will offer delivery, educational seminars, and more.
The place to start is by carefully and honestly assessing your business needs, and what you want from your supply store. Maybe you need a store where the only thing that counts is price. Maybe you want your supplier to have good prices as well as value-added services.
Possibly, you're a contractor who needs a place that not only sells products, but can teach you how to use them. You might want a supplier who carries not only what you use today, but the products you might be using next year. And what contractor wouldn't want a purveyor who doesn't just sell gear, but can also suggest new revenue streams and show you how to tap into them?
There are many green industry stores that offer a variety of these services. You need to find the one in your location that best serves your needs. Two good examples are Central Turf & Irrigation Supply, based in Elmsford, New York, and North Florida Irrigation Equipment, with headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida.
Both businesses are family owned and operated. At Central Turf & Irrigation, the president, Bernardo Luciano, is a former landscape contractor. After many years in the landscape contracting business, he opened an irrigation wholesale supply store. His goal was to provide customers with the kind of service he expected back when he'd been a contractor.
At North Florida Irrigation Equipment, Harlan Eaton is at the helm. He established the business as irrigation-only in the late 1970s, back when you had to buy irrigation equipment from a plumbing supply house.
As with many other successful small businesses, Luciano and Eaton have each brought in family members, and one day will pass the baton. These days at Central, Luciano's wife, Filomina, and their children, Camilla and Anthony, work in the business. By getting into the business early in their careers, they not only have learned from the bottom up, they should be well schooled when the time comes to transition to the next generation.
It's a different business today than it was when each man started. In two decades, Central Turf & Irrigation Supply has grown to 36 stores in 14 states. With this growth, Luciano added more staff and they became part of the family. Eaton has grown his business too, adding another physical store in St. Augustine, Florida, and today, he ships equipment all over the Southeast.
"We try to serve our customers like we would have wanted to be served when we were still landscape contractors," Luciano says. "The advantage that we have over other stores is, we've been in our customers' shoes, so we know what it takes. Our philosophy is that our customers would rather talk to those who 'walked the walk,' as opposed to those who 'talk the talk.' Those are the experienced people we try to hire."
One-stop shopping is a way for Luciano to show his concern about his customers' time. He understands the time wasted to go from one store for irrigation components to another for landscape supplies. After all, time is money.
Central started out exclusively as an irrigation supply store, but quickly added landscape lighting as lighting became more important. Once ponds and water features began to catch some contractors' eyes, pond components were added to the store. Over the last five or six years, they added trenching equipment, fertilizers, seed, some chemicals, and products for snow removal.
North Florida Irrigation Equipment has followed the same expansion trajectory. Eaton began in irrigation, then added services in response to customer interest and demand. Now, he covers landscape supply, landscape lighting, pond components, and the like. "We may not make much money on some of these items, like mulch," Eaton concedes, "but that's not the issue. The issue is in serving our customers."
"When I was in the business, I hated to wait for a product because the store I went to ran out," said Luciano. "We don't make our customers wait for us while we order what they need, and then call them late in the afternoon or even the next day when it gets delivered to us. We have a well-stocked warehouse."
In fact, Central Turf & Irrigation has a free service that will deliver to the contractor's jobsite what they need. "It costs money to keep the warehouse stocked and the delivery fleet on the road, but that's what we do, that's the service we offer," declares Luciano. "We don't make people wait, even for a 10¢ item. We have 100 trucks, and they will get what they need when they need it."
Central Turf & Irrigation doesn't just sell products and equipment, they teach the contractor how to use them, even if it means sending a company trainer out on the job with the customer for a first-time installation. "Let's say it's an outdoor LED lighting installation," Luciano posits. "And this is our customer's first foray into lighting! We will not just sell the lights and say, 'Good luck.' We'll help design the installation, and then send one of our experts to the jobsite to work with the contractor. We consider it an investment in the relationship."
Eaton does the same kind of hands-on teaching. "For example, we've got something coming up we call a 'pond build.' We're going out to a site with our pond specialist, and we invite contractors to come in, watch, and learn as we go step-by-step through an actual pond installation. It's a great way to learn."
In addition to sending consultants out into the field, the best suppliers offer training classes and seminars for local contractors to attend.
The right supplier can actually send business your way. If your supplier has cultivated its relationships, it should have a solid virtual Rolodex for cross-referrals. Similarly, your supply store can be an outstanding resource for you about other local green industry professionals.
"What you get from us is so much more than just the product," Luciano maintains. "Our job is to help you make money. That's why we worry about you like you're our own family." Eaton has the same philosophy. Both companies have customers that have been with them for ten, twenty, or even thirty years.
If what you want is a supplier that worries about you like family, you'll want to find a company like Central Turf & Irrigation Supply or North Florida Irrigation Equipment.

I have an 87 GL-10 w/ 50K original miles (yes, the little old lady drove it to church once a week story), that is starting to Tick really loudly, but Only one lifter seems to be making noise. The noise only happense for an extended peroid (20min drive to work) every few weeks, but When I start it up it always ticks for a second or two then goes away.
I read alot of the info on the "Tick Of Death" so I think this is likely the oil pump starting to go. Next oil change Im going to add some automatic Transfluid to see if it helps the lifter, but Id like to prepare to change the oil pump... so here are my questions.
1. Where can I buy an oil pump outside of the Subaru dealer? I could not find one on ebay or at my local parts store. What is a good price?
2. Does anyone have a procedure for replacing the pump? Any tricks or tips would be appreciated.
Is the oil pump replacement related to the timing belt replacement process? I replaced the timing belts at 46K only because the water pump & radiator needed to be replaced.
Thanks in advance

15 minutes before you change your oil... put in the ATF. Let run for 5-10 minutes...rev it up. Then change your oil and filter. Hope this helps... it fixed mine in year 2000. Still no ticks.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 03:04 PM
You can save some cash and just reseal your oil pump.The O rings get brittle and don't hold pressure...Kits are cheap and most auto parts stores have them.I have used "Pro-Long" oil treatment and it quieted down that tic,tic noise.Pricey stuff but I use it when I feel rich,haha. Hmmmm ...Well the money u save re-sealing your pump will more than pay for the Pro Long..Just a thought,C ya,Todd the OSF

I just ordered an EA82 oil pump rebuild kit, crank seal, cam seals and cam cap o-rings for $72 from my Subaru dealer. I broke a timing belt (oil soaked timing belts don't last very long I hear...) and will be rebuilding/resealing the places that might leak oil while I'm in there. My timing belt kit from ebay was $65 I believe... Includes the belts and tensioners. You may want to think about that while you're in there. Then again, maybe with so little miles the belts might be fine.
My intent is to follow the thread already posted here about rebuilding/resealing the pump.

Here's a sloppy little write-up I made when I put in a new oil pump in the Loyale because of the T.O.D.
Feel free to message me with any questions.
Oh and def. just replace the pump instead of just resealing it. They can be had pretty cheap and it's peace of mind. My .02

Milking an Elk
A master of both insult and befuddlement, he was agreeably both a scamp and a dupe. And he rose to the fore of his eminence as an entertainer at a time in the history of popular culture, during the Twenties and Thirties in America, when it was still possible for quite ordinary folk—the small-town businessman, the churchgoing housewife—to accept that deep down they were—as he so frequently kept telling them—nothing but mean, dumb, and irredeemable. He spoke haughtily of Charlie Chaplin as "that ballet dancer," testily of Walter Winchell as a "little schmuck," and impolitically of Mae West as a "plumber's idea of Cleopatra." And on the subject of love, he was no less determinedly emphatic. "There was a woman who drove me to drink," he conceded, "and I never had the sense to thank her."
A devotee of Morpheus, he was prodigious in his ability to fall asleep on the top of a pool-hall table, in a barber-shop chair, or on the crowded floor of some Hotel Street saloon. In this, if in a more genteel vein, he was much emulated by Calvin Coolidge. To the sweet Rochelle Hudson, his adolescent daughter in Poppy, where he was that resonant pedant, Professor Eustace McGargle, he counseled endearingly: "Let me give you one word of advice. Never give a sucker an even break." He was a mythomaniac. And it was long his Plutonic claim to have undergone a terrible childhood, that, for example, not only was he born, as he wrote, in some "old melodrama," but, indeed, grew up in a hole stuck fast in the ground, from which he saw everything, and learned even more. As for the spectacle of life, he regarded it, in general, as a shabby affair, about as coarse as the flesh of the burbot, the only member of the cod family, he noted, ever to exist exclusively in fresh water—which in his eyes, at least, was yet another black mark against the esteemed virtue of sobriety.
Fanatical about everything, he was most fanatical about money. On tour in Johannesburg—he was a supreme juggler—he insisted on being paid his weight in gold. Often it was his fancy to keep a series of bank accounts in a series of foreign lands. And yet like the habits of the fellow countrymen he so affected to despise—"I am free of all prejudices," he blandly asserted, "I hate everyone equally"—he would always be, "for the nonce" or beyond, proverbially short of dough. His signature on a contract in Hollywood—whenever he made a film there—would inevitably spell trouble. Once during the shooting of The Big Broadcast of 1938, Mitchell Leisen, the director of the film, suffered a heart attack. And once during the shooting of International House, on location at Long Beach, California, there was an earthquake.
He was mordantly averse to the bubble bath, Charlie McCarthy (whom he dubbed "a termite's flophouse" or "an animated hitching post"), the Nativity Scene, the Brahms "Lullaby," the Canis familiaris (if he were out…

THE ability to purchase and keep private property is a fundamental American right -- articulated in our Federal and State constitutions and expanded upon in our laws. In fact, concern over private property rights was the linchpin that united our nation's founders under the singular goal of liberty. They believed that if it is wrong for an individual to take another's property without compensation, then it is wrong for government to do the same.
Well over two centuries later, our government's respect and protection of private property rights should be absolute. Unfortunately, that is not the experience of thousands of property owners along the Lake Erie shoreline who are before the Ohio Supreme Court fighting to keep those rights.
These residents have spent more than a decade fighting overreaching state government officials and bureaucrats over the right to own land the residents legally purchased. I know the details well. I am one of those residents.
Our dispute began in 2000 when the state sought to take portions of our deeded land for its own purposes.
Ohio law says the state's ownership of the waters and submerged lands of Lake Erie does not extend beyond the water's edge. However, state bureaucrats claimed ownership of the dry shore lands of Lake Erie, which in many cases are the privately owned backyards of property owners. Officials even strong-armed many residents to sign a lease and pay a fee to use the very property their deeds said they already owned.
In response, over 7,000 shoreline residents formed the Ohio Lakefront Group to fight the state's unlawful and uncompensated taking of our private property. To date, our legal actions have been successful. A state common pleas court supported our position and ruled against the state. Disgraced former Attorney General Marc Dann appealed the case to the court of appeals, and we won there too. His successor, former Attorney General Richard Cordray, appealed it to the Ohio Supreme Court. On Tuesday, Feb. 1, the Ohio Supreme Court will hear the case.
Activists mistakenly believe that bureaucrats are more capable than families who own the land of maintaining and protecting the shoreline's beauty. Opening all of the privately held land along Lake Erie to uncontrolled public use means litter and increased crime. Does anyone believe that the state, with a projected $8 billion deficit, is capable of properly maintaining that property? Individuals who paid to live on this property have the strongest interest in protecting it.
Further, upholding private property rights along the lakeshore will not harm public access or public rights to the waters of Lake Erie. Ohioans already enjoy 164 public access points to Lake Erie in the eight counties spanning Ohio's 312-mile coastline -- that averages one public access point every two miles along the Lake Erie shore.
Mr. Cordray's departure as attorney general brings renewed optimism that Ohio will once again respect the private property rights of its citizens. We hope new Attorney General Mike DeWine will approach our case with a greater respect for established law and past legal precedent.
We strongly urge Mr. DeWine to withdraw his challenge to the court of appeals' decision, and to end this decade-long erosion of private property rights. He need only look to the formal legal opinions of predecessors, Republican Betty Montgomery and Democrat Lee Fisher. Both of those former attorneys general issued legal opinions bolstering our position.
If this case does move forward, we trust the Ohio Supreme Court to uphold our constitutionally protected private property rights. The right to prevent government from taking legally purchased private property is still a fundamental aspect of our American liberties, even in Ohio.
Tony Yankel is president of the Ohio Lakefront Group and a Bay Village resident.

Meet The Goerings: Father and Son Experience UC Law—27 Years Apart!
With four generations graduating from either the University of Cincinnati or the College of Law, the Goering family boasts a strong connection. Consider: UC Law is now "home" to rising 2L Andrew. His father, Stuart, graduated from the law school in 1982. Both of Stuart Goering's parents, as well as one grandparent, graduated from the university. Stuart Goering's sister has an MBA from UC. And to top it off, his father was a professor at UC's renowned College of Business. It almost goes without saying that the Goering family bleeds Bearcat red and black!
A Dad Takes A Look Back
After completing an undergraduate program at Purdue University where he majored in mathematics and computer science, Stuart Goering returned to Cincinnati for law school. During this same time, he served as a member of the Army Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC). While a law student he clerked par- time for a local law firm—now Wood and Lamping, LLP. He also spent one summer at Fort Lewis for ROTC advanced camp. It was his Army background that influenced his decision to become a judge advocate in the Army following graduation. While stationed at his first post in Alaska, he met and married his wife, Marcia. There, they became parents to Andrew. But after nearly four years of active duty in Alaska, the Goerings moved back to the Queen City. It was time for a change. .
Following release from active duty, Stuart Goering switched gears, deciding to focus on labor and employment issues, a new area of law for him, at Taft, Stettinius, & Hollister. He remembers this being a considerable change, since he would not only be working in a new area, but also at a large firm. Previously, he clerked at a medium-sized law firm in law school. In 1988 he began working for the Erlanger Lumber Company, Inc. as the chief financial officer. In that role, he was able to help the company with several large acquisitions, the ultimate impact of which was a tripling of the business's size.
Although he enjoyed those positions, Stuart Goering admits that he and his wife had begun looking for opportunities to return to Alaska. He found such an opportunity in the form of the Copper Valley Electric Cooperative located in Glennallen, Alaska, or, as he put it, "about 140 miles from the nearest traffic light." He worked for a year as the Cooperative's manager of administration and finance before taking the Alaska bar. Although he was sitting for the exam over 16 years after he graduated law school, Stuart Goering said that "it was a positive experience because it ensured that I remembered a whole range of legal topics, rather than just those I had dedicated most of my career to so far." For the next 10 years, he worked as a solo practitioner, focusing mainly on civil work in Alaska.
Making the Jump to State Government
About 18 months ago in April 2008, Stuart Goering decided to make another career change, taking a position with the state of Alaska as an Assistant Attorney General. He represents the Regulatory Commission of Alaska, which regulates public utilities in the state, advising and providing legal advice to the Commission on its adjudication of cases. He also defends the Commission's decisions against appeals in front of the Superior Courts and Supreme Court of Alaska.
UC Law Connection…in Alaska?
There are five justices on the Alaska Supreme Court, one of whom offers yet another connection between the Goerings and Cincinnati. Justice Dana Fabe is the daughter of George Fab '81, a classmate of Stuart., "Connections between those in the legal community in Alaska are not uncommon. There are just over 660,000 people in Alaska, and Anchorage has about half of that," he explained. Interestingly, the entire Alaska bar has just over 3,600 total members, which, he said, isn't many compared to the 1,403 applicants who sat for the Ohio bar in July 1982 when he graduated law school!
A Rising 2L Looks Abroad
Though much shorter, Andrew Goering's work history is no less interesting. The oldest of five children, he is a graduate of the University of Alaska Anchorage. While there he majored in languages, specifically German and French. In fact, he studied abroad in Germany during school, and later spent time living and teaching in France following graduation. When he decided to go to law school, Andrew said, he was already familiar with the city, school, and people in Cincinnati after spending so much time here growing up. So, the decision to come to UC for law school was a particularly easy one.
This summer Andrew Goering spent six weeks working at the Austrian Human Rights Institute, in Salzburg, Austria.. Because the European Court of Human Rights is still relatively new, many of the issues that come before it are ones of first impression. The Austrian Human Rights Institute focuses on educating professionals in the human rights field to ensure compliance with international laws and treaties to which Austria is a party. In keeping with the objectives, one of his responsibilities was to help write and publish a newsletter and participate in projects related to claims against the government for human rights abuses or violations of international conventions. He helped create what he called a "how-to guide," complete with information on the likelihood of winning certain cases, the amount of damages a complainant is likely to collect, etc.
One of the best parts of his summer, comment Andrew Goering, was experiencing the development of an area of the law first hand. "The Court's youth provided bountiful opportunities for me to learn how the law actually worked," he said. In addition, he was exposed to the legal "scene" in Europe and had the opportunity to make connections across the continent. In the future, he intends to practice law in an international arena. Though he does not know exactly which field he will end up in, he is currently interested in both immigration and international business. He does know that at some point he would like return to Europe to live and work.
A Goering View of UC Law
Although both Goerings had markedly different experiences, each spoke favorably of their time spent at UC Law. Stuart Goering attended law school during the construction and remodeling of the current building; the result was that he rarely experienced an "ordinary" day in class, he recalled. The construction made the building dirty and noisy, and at times neither the heat would work in the winter nor the air conditioning in the summer. "The conditions," he recounted, "created a close-knit law school family because everyone was facing the same obstacles."
So far Professor Chris Bryant and his energy, personality and teaching style have made the biggest impression on Andrew Goering. (When his son began discussing his favorite professors, Stuart Goering laughed, commenting that Andrew being at UC Law made him feel really old!) Only a small handful of the professors who were teaching when he was at the law school are still teaching today: Gordon Christenson and Bert Lockwood. But he fondly recalled learning under law school "legends" Wilbur Lester, who was functionally blind and called on students based on an assigned seating chart, and Stanley Ellis Harper, Jr., who he called one of the most entertaining people in law school.
In addition to their schooling, both Goerings also found time to participate in extracurricular activities. While attending law school, Stuart Goering worked part time, fulfilled Army ROTC requirements, volunteered at Deaconess Hospital, and he played intramural softball and touch football. Additionally, he explained, "there was a small group of us that provided music on appropriate—and sometimes inappropriate—occasions, including occasionally serving as a marching band!" Stuart further explained that he was, and still is, a skilled trombone player—yet another trait shared by his son. For his part, Andrew has been involved in both the Human Rights Quarterly and the Immigrant Community Legal Advocacy Project as a 1L. In addition, he and several other 1L students discovered a shared passion for playing soccer and football when the weather permits.

Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP ("Robbins Geller") ( http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/blyth/) today announced that a class action has been commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of purchasers of Blyth, Inc. ("Blyth") (NYSE:BTH) common stock during the period between March 14, 2012 and November 6, 2012 (the "Class Period"). If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than 60 days from today. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Samuel H. Rudman or David A. Rosenfeld of Robbins Geller at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058, or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are a member of this class, you can view a copy of the complaint as filed or join this class action online at http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/blyth/. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. The complaint charges Blyth and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Blyth is a marketing and manufacturing company that sells personal and decorative products throughout North America. The complaint alleges that, during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's financial performance and future prospects. In particular, the complaint alleges that the nature and ongoing viability of the strong results being reported for ViSalus, Inc., a multilevel weight loss marketing company the Company owns a controlling interest in, were being overstated, and that this was masking declining performance in the Company's other operating units and product lines. The complaint alleges that beginning with a September 21, 2012 Moody's Investors Services cut in its outlook for the Company, the market began to learn through a series of partial disclosures ending on November 6, 2012, that the Company's financial soundness and business metrics were not as they had been represented during the Class Period. As Blyth's stock price was pummeled with each of these revelations, more than $462 million in market capitalization was simply erased.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Blyth common stock during the Class Period (the "Class"). The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.Robbins Geller represents U.S. and international institutional investors in contingency-based securities and corporate litigation. With nearly 200 lawyers in nine offices, the firm represents hundreds of public and multi-employer pension funds with combined assets under management in excess of $2 trillion. The firm has obtained many of the largest recoveries and has been ranked number one in the number of shareholder class action recoveries in MSCI's Top SCAS 50 every year since 2003. According to Cornerstone Research, the firm's recoveries have averaged 35% above the median for all firms over the past seven years (2005-2011).

Liverpool and West Ham target Eljero Elia could make a switch to Russian side CSKA Moscow, giving Tottenham the chance to make a move to sign Alan Dzagoev, according to talkSPORT.
The Dutch winger Elia has been closely watched by Liverpool since his time at Hamburg.
The Reds were keen to bring the 26-year-old to Anfield before he joined Juventus in 2011 for a €9 million fee.
Elia, capped by Holland 27 times, has struggled to make an impact in Italy but reports in Russia claim his displays have enticed CSKA into making him a possible replacement for Dzagoev.
After failing to sign playmaker Joao Moutinho from Porto, Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has the Russian in his mind.
However, Dzagoev is expected to be wanted by a few clubs this summer and the White Hart Lane side could face a challenge from Juventus for his signature.

Changing Their Green And White - Again
The press release that accompanied the announcement said all the same things press releases say when teams alter their unis: they're made of better material, will have a better fit, blah, blah, blah. It also says the new duds incorporate the heritage of Spartan football, which probably means the collars are going to be nice and tight.
Unfortunately, the article linked above didn't have any pictures, and the ones at the official Sparty site are pretty small. So the MZone investigative team got to work to try to find a large enough picture for our readers and, with the help of Insomniac's Lounge (via Conquest Chronicles), we obtained the one below.
Gee, the new look sure seems to sum up MSU football pefectly - right down to the skirt and panties:
Ed. Note: It took everything in our power not to also make this an MSU-themed Caption Contest.

A little off topic, but you guys really need to do something about those Ohio State Ringtone ads that are running along the right side of the page.
Then again, with all the OSU trolls on this blog, perhaps it's a brilliant marketing strategy...

I despise how sanchez just cant stop staring down his primary receiver....
Nice hold #58
Nice stop at the 17 by ST's.
For this offense a fg is like a td but with less points.
I bet Shotty gets a head coaching job next year based on this game and how terrible the Jets offense looks this year.
Ellis hurt again ...LAWD
Oh man Ellis knee again?
Chaz with the tackle. It's what our receivers do best!
So much invested in the D-Line...
Yet they do so little...
Please more mcknight in the second qtr!!!
Ellis might be the new Kris Jenkins ... Awesome talent ... Always hurt.
Mark sanchez stinks guys, i want the guy to suceed badly but he just isnt good.

Smith's Hydroflame - Classic Inset Dual - Brass Trim
Flame effect hydronic/electric Fan Convector Fire
Flame-effect fan convectors that run off the central heating system, but with all the visual appeal of a real fire. Efficient, cost effective and totally safe, with no harmful discharges. Ideal for children and the elderly because there are no flames or hotsurfaces.
Hot water from the central heating system passes through a heat exchanger and transfers its heat to the aluminium fins. Cooler air is drawn in at floor level and used to create the flame-effect. The air is heated as it passes over the heat exchanger and then expelled gently back into the room.
Flame-effect fan convectors are energy efficient and will add less than £10.00 to your annual heating bill. Independent tests show that fan convectors are at least 24% more energy efficient than a panel radiator in heating up a room.
- Heat Output Hydronic: 5100 Btu/h, 1500 Watts
- Heat Output Electric: 1500 Watts
- Connects like a radiator, look like a fire
- Connects to and runs from your central heating system
- Supplementary electric heating element
- Safe – no live flames, hot coals or elements
- Minimal running costs – less than £10 per annum
- Built in room thermostat
- No flue required
- Fits on any wall
- Minimal running costs
- No costly annual servicing
- Available in Inset or Freestanding
- Low surface temperatures
- No special ventilation required
- Hidden fixingsfor extra security
- No minimum room size
- Clearly labelled, easy action rockerswitches
- Inset model designed for a recess 400mm x 550mm high
- Unit must be earthed
- Suitable for two-pipe central heating systems only
- Surface temperature of the casing complies with the safety requirement DHSS DN4
- Three rocker switches: normal/off/boost, hydronic/electric, flame-effect on/flame effect off

Meh. In all honesty, if they let him go, I'm content with Ellison, but the reason they wouldn't bring Felton back wouldn't be because of money.
From what Cheese Free posted, I think if we are going to open our check books a little bit we will probably resign our own free agents and then see if we can find a decent guard.
Does anyone know what the cap penalty would be if we were to release Charlie Johnson? I think his cap hit is about 4.5 million so even paying someone like Levitre 6 or 7 per would only be an increase of 1.5 to 2.5 million per year. It fits Spielman's philosophy to sign a young player coming off his first contract, and it doesn't seem like it would cost a ton to lock down the left side of our line for the foreseeable future.
Here, I forgot to add the Defensive Tackles
http://walterfootball.com/freeagents2013G.phpHenry Melton, DT, Bears. Age: 26.
Henry Melton is one of the top interior pass-rushers in all of football. He could stand to be better against the run, but he deserves a big contract after getting to the quarterback more effectively than Julius Peppers.
Randy Starks, DT, Dolphins. Age: 29.
Randy Starks is a talented interior pass-rusher. He struggled a bit down the stretch, but that could have been the result of personal issues he dealt with late in the year.
Richard Seymour, DT, Raiders. Age: 33.
Richard Seymour has been tremendous over the years, including the first half of this past season. Unfortunately, he missed the final eight games of his 2012 campaign because of a hamstring injury. He'll be 34 in October, so it's fair to wonder if his body is breaking down.
Desmond Bryant, DT, Raiders. Age: 27.
Desmond Bryant served as a solid interior pass-rusher after Richard Seymour was lost for the year. Excluding Lamarr Houston, no other Raider defensive lineman was better at applying pressure on the quarterback, though that's not saying much.
Jason Jones, DT, Seahawks. Age: 27.
Jason Jones is a quality interior pass-rusher who was lost late in the year to a knee injury.
Sammie Lee Hill, DT, Lions. Age: 26.
Sammie Lee Hill could start for some teams, as he does a decent job of pressuring the quarterback. He just hasn't had much of a chance in Detroit because he's been behind Ndamukong Suh, Nick Fairley and Corey Williams on the depth chart.
Roy Miller, DT, Buccaneers. Age: 26.
Roy Miller doesn't offer anything as a pass-rusher, but he's a primary reason why the Buccaneers had one of the league's top run defenses in 2012.
Arthur Jones (RFA), DE/DT, Ravens. Age: 27.
Arthur Jones broke into the starting lineup in the middle of the season and performed well, stopping the run effectively and getting to the quarterback on occasion.
Mike DeVito, DE/DT, Jets. Age: 29.
Mike DeVito has been a key run-defender in New York's three-man front.
Steve McLendon (RFA), NT, Steelers. Age: 27.
Steve McClendon looks like a solid replacement for Casey Hampton. He performed well in the playoffs against the Broncos in January 2012, and that carried over into this season when he saw the field briefly.
Glenn Dorsey, DT, Chiefs. Age: 28.
Glenn Dorsey is a bust as the fifth-overall selection in 2008. He can stop the run when healthy, so he's serviceable in that regard. I'd also like to see what he can do in a 4-3, a system more suited toward his strengths.
Ropati Pitoitua (RFA), DE/DT, Chiefs. Age: 28.
Ropati Pitoitua has served as a solid rotational defensive lineman for the Chiefs. He's solid in run support and tallied two sacks in a game against the Chargers.
Terrance Knighton, NT, Jaguars. Age: 27.
It's rare to see a 330-pound nose tackle struggle in run support, but that's why Terrance Knighton was benched in favor of C.J. Mosley back in October. He still played an ample amount though.
Sedrick Ellis, DT, Saints. Age: 28.
Sedrick Ellis has been an enormous bust for the Saints as the No. 7 pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. There's still time for him to turn his career around though.
Alan Branch, DT, Seahawks. Age: 28.
Alan Branch is sort of a jack-of-all-trades defensive tackle. He has no glaring weaknesses and is at his best when stopping the run.
Ricky Jean-Francois, DE/DT, 49ers. Age: 26.
Ricky Jean-Francois handled himself well when inserted into the lineup in the wake of Justin Smith's injury. He's not much of a pass-rusher, but he contained the run well.
Casey Hampton, NT, Steelers. Age: 35.
Casey Hampton is still a quality run-stuffer despite his age (36 on Sept. 3).
Derek Landri, DT, Eagles. Age: 29.
Derek Landri is a solid rotational defensive tackle who can put pressure on the quarterback occasionally.
Corey Williams, DT, Lions. Age: 33.
Corey Williams should still be able to be a solid rotational lineman, but his best days are behind him. He played in only seven games in 2012.
Dwan Edwards, DT, Panthers. Age: 32.
Dwan Edwards can do a decent job of getting to the quarterback on occasion, but he has to be limited to passing downs because he gets gashed against the run.
SenDerrick Marks, DT, Titans. Age: 26.
SenDerrick Marks isn't particularly good at anything, but he's not really bad at anything either. He's a serviceable starter.
Kevin Vickerson, DT, Broncos. Age: 30.
Shaun Cody, NT, Texans. Age: 30.
Isaac Sopoaga, NT, 49ers. Age: 31.
Nate Collins (RFA), DT, Bears. Age: 25.
Antonio Johnson, DT, Colts. Age: 28.
Clinton McDonald (RFA), DT, Seahawks. Age: 26.
Kedric Golston, DE/DT, Redskins. Age: 30.
Vance Walker, DT, Falcons. Age: 26.
Justin Bannan, DT, Broncos. Age: 34.
Kenyon Coleman, DE/DT, Cowboys. Age: 34.
Rocky Bernard, DT, Giants. Age: 34.
Spencer Johnson, DT, Bills. Age: 31.
Tony McDaniel, DT, Dolphins. Age: 28.
Leger Douzable, DT, Titans. Age: 28.
Fili Moala, DT, Colts. Age: 28.
Pat Sims, DT, Bengals. Age: 27.
Chris Baker (RFA), NT, Redskins. Age: 25.
Ryan McBean, DT, Ravens. Age: 29.
Corvey Irvin (RFA), DT, Buccaneers. Age: 28.
Maake Kemoeatu, NT, Ravens. Age: 34.
Andre Neblett (RFA), DT, Panthers. Age: 25.
Brian Schaefering, DE/DT, Cowboys. Age: 30.
Ty Warren, DT, Broncos. Age: 32.
Amobi Okoye, DT, Bears. Age: 26.
Nick Eason, DE/DT, Cardinals. Age: 33.
Shaun Smith, NT, Chiefs. Age: 32.
Andre Fluellen, DT, Lions. Age: 28.
Trevor Laws, DT, Rams. Age: 28.
Shaun Rogers, DT, Giants. Age: 34.
Vonnie Holliday, DE/DT, Cardinals. Age: 37.
A few interesting guys here, although not too many elite run-stoppers. It also depends on how we look at this moving forward, ideally we could really use someone who plays better at NT, however even though he's not a FA, we still could decide to turn the page on Kevin Williams (much like we did with Steve Hutchinson last year) and find someone to take his place.
I think Melton will probably end up franchised, but there are other interesting names, Terrence Knighton among them although he'd be a bit of a project, apparently he has conditioning issues.
Vikings Roster thread
Cheese i think the bears let Melton walk. They have to extend Cutler and Marshall i believe
Yo Cheese Im sure I speak for everyone here when I say thanks for what you bring to the forum, always drop alot of knowledge here its much appreciated
But if it came down to it I would love the Vikings to steal him away! I'm sure telling him he gets to go up against Cutler twice a year would seal the deal

First Round Draft Pick
I hope that two players pan out and thats Ellison(FB-TE) and Cole(LB) that would take a huge burden off of our shoulders. I say let Felton walk if he wants a huge payday,,its no surprise that usually the leading Rusher in Football has their lead blocker as the FB to the Probowl. I bet if he goes to any other team he isn't in the ProBowl next year,,,and he knows that. Im not saying give him dirt but he doesn't deserve to be even one of the highest paid FB's in football until he doest this for atleast 2 more years. AP also led the league in yards after contact so alot of his production came from him doing it on his own, on top of the repeated statement AP makes that he likes being in the backfield alone anyways.
Felton's year wasnt solely because of Peterson. Felton had some crushing blocks. He deserves more credit than you're giving him.

Would you buy these?
I been thinking of getting my permits to sell baked goods at my local farmers market to start building up my dream i love to bake i have not gone to school for baking or taken classes but am learning as i go ive learn how to make a lot of stuff and i was trying to get an opinion if you saw any of this would you be interested on buying it?
the rainbow cupcake looks good. I couldnt identify the others.
sreawberry pie. swan cream puffs.carrot cake marble bownies.chocoflan witch is half chocolate cake half flan
the swan puff needs a little more oomph to catch someone eyes, so maybe drizzle it with white chocolate or dark chocolate. The strawberry pie would look better with whole strawberries rather than the cut ones. I was just watching a Food Paradise show about pies and that was their big seller, but they used whole rather than sliced and it also had custard and then the srawberries added on top. The brownies look great!
What is the one with the orange??
I personally wouldnt because I am a big baker myself. I was able to sell my rolo cookies if you are interested in using it--freeze the rolo candies, then make a chocolate base cookie batter, put the rolo in the middle and roll it into a ball, then roll it in a mix of sugar(crystal not powder) and chopped nuts 9we used a mix of walnuts and pecans or either/or depending what we had on hand at the time. Those were big sellers for me during the holidays!
I thought everything looked pretty good and would be equal to what I see at our local farmers market just make sure you price accordingly. I think your carrot cake looks ok but it is obviously not professional work so make sure you price it worth your time but don't get too pricey. Good luck!

Six dangerous jobs that pay well
Published 8:08 am, Monday, December 17, 2012
Navigating the madness of rush-hour traffic might be the most dangerous thing the typical office worker faces during the course of the workday. However, there are some workers whose jobs are truly hazardous or -- in some cases -- potentially deadly.
"These jobs are dangerous either because of their environment or because they carry a high risk for violence," says Katie Bardaro, director of analytics at online salary database PayScale.com.
What type of worker is well-suited to these risky careers? "These jobs might appeal to some workers because the reward outweighs the risk," Bardaro says. "In the case of an oil driller, the training can be minimal, while the pay is typically lucrative."
Read on to learn about six jobs in which risking life and limb can lead to a lucrative payday.
Oil Well Driller
Typical Median Pay: $101,000
Operating heavy equipment is just one aspect that makes this job dangerous. Oil well drillers also work long hours in remote locations, setting up and monitoring the drilling process. Workers are rewarded for their sacrifices with typically high earnings.
FBI Agent
Typical Median Pay: $77,100
Thanks to popular culture, FBI agents have earned a reputation for dark suits, grim expressions and car chases. While the day-to-day responsibilities might not be as thrilling, any job whose uniform includes a gun is likely to be riskier than the average desk job. FBI agents have bachelor's degrees and receive 20 weeks of training at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia.
Commercial Diver
Typical Median Pay: $64,900
Whether they're installing, inspecting or repairing equipment; rigging explosives; or even taking photographs, commercial divers spend their time underwater breathing oxygen from tanks. A commercial diver job often requires workers to complete training at a diving school.
Coal Miner
Typical Median Pay: $53,500
Coal, a fuel also used in the production of steel and plastic, is found deep underground. Coal mining is dangerous work due to the potential for mine collapses, the lack of air filtration and the often consuming darkness. But coal miners who brave these treacherous conditions can earn a decent paycheck.
Bomb Squad Expert
Typical Median Pay: $52,500
Any job dealing with explosives means death is an uncomfortably close coworker. Talk about job stress. While many of the situations to which bomb squads respond often turn out to be false alarms, the potential of having to defuse a live explosive always exists. With typical median pay at more than $50,000, it pays to know whether to cut the red wire or the green one.
Find jobs involving explosive ordnance.
Police Detective
Typical Median Pay: $50,500
Protecting citizens and investigating criminal activity are just two aspects of this potentially dangerous career. Many police detectives search for evidence and work with prosecutors to convict suspected criminals. Typically, a high school diploma is required, along with training at a police academy.
