Donovan McNabb Helps Us Make Sense of His a) Wildly Successful, or b) Oddly Disappointing NFL career
For a decade, his Eagles scored in bunches and played deep into the postseason. Yet there always seemed to be something missing—and not just a Super Bowl ring. An affable guy, he couldn't escape controversy. A thoughtful QB, he often seemed clueless. Before he suits up for the Redskins this fall, McNabb gives his exit interview from the City of Brotherly Love
The American Quarterback comes in an assortment of American clichés. There's the robot genius (Peyton Manning, Tom Brady), the country boy (Brett Favre, Terry Bradshaw), the lout (Ben Roethlisberger, Kerry Collins) and the idiot (JaMarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf). In the high intensity conflict that is 21st century pro football, the nice guy isn't one of the defining terms.
And that may be Donovan McNabb's biggest problem. He lives in Phoenix during the off-season, which requires its own type of magnanimity. I had lunch with him at a sports bar on a 'my skin might actually be on fire' 120-degree day. The more we talked, the more I thought; this guy is so goddamned affable. His pathological even-keelness reminded me of Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan. Well, except that Hank's side won the war and McNabb has just exited the Philadelphia Eagles after five division championships, one Super Bowl, and zero titles.
Let's go back to the beginning. Look at it from McNabb's POV. It is 1999. You are 22 and a stud quarterback out of Syracuse. The Eagles are primed to pick you #2. But Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell thinks his team should take Ricky Williams instead. He–the fucking mayor!–organizes a protest call-in that brings down the Eagles communications system. The Eagles draft you anyway. You walk across the New York stage. Your new fans boo and curse you.
Welcome to town!
In Philadelphia, the two-eyed man is king because everyone else is bat-shit crazy. Philly sports legends include a man who war danced over an unconscious Frank Gifford (Chuck Bednarik), a chaw-choking outfielder/accused fraudster (Lenny Dykstra), and a practice-averse point guard who urinated into a trash can at an Atlantic City casino (Allen Iverson). McNabb's major malfunction was his sanity. There were no arrests, just Campbell's Chunky Soup commercials with his mom.
He led the Eagles to three straight NFC championship games beginning in 2001 but the team spit the bit each time with McNabb throwing one touchdown and five interceptions, including a key what-the-hell-was-he-thinking pick for six against Tampa Bay in 2003. Oh how the people howled! But it wasn't all his fault. The Eagles receiving corps sucked, personified by frizzy-haired Freddie Mitchell, a first-rounder with six nicknames and five career TD's.
The team added Terrell Owens in 2004. Now that was a Faustian bargain. The Eagles made the Super Bowl where Owens became a hero by playing on a broken leg while McNabb just inflamed the rabble. The Eagles were down 10 to the Patriots with six minutes to go. McNabb led the Eagles on a methodical touchdown drive. And I mean methodical. The Eagles offense moved with the alacrity of eleven methadone users. Sure, they scored, but they burned almost four minutes off the clock and lost by three. Afterward, there was talk that McNabb was so tired he puked in the huddle. That summer, T.O. went all narcissistic personality disorder; he held out, bitched about McNabb's toughness and said, 'I'm not the one who got tired in the Super Bowl.'
The Eagles cut T.O. during the next season. McNabb started getting hurt with regularity. In 2008, he admitted after an overtime game that he didn't realize NFL games could end in a tie. Oops! The next week, Reid benched him at halftime, informing McNabb through an assistant. He got his job back the next week and played better than before, showing before unseen bravado when he picked up a Giants sideline phone after scrambling for a first down. The Eagles made it to a final NFC championship game and, of course, lost.
By then, Philly and McNabb had devolved into a loveless marriage between a rageaholic and his long-suffering spouse. McNabb has endured endless trade rumors for years. He was finally dealt in April and there was a final indignity: he was traded within the division to the Redskins. You don't trade a guy you have to face twice a year unless you think he's cooked.
Now McNabb tries to win a Super Bowl with a new team and an equally rabid–if more Brie eating–fan base. Oh yeah, one other thing. McNabb left Philly with every major team passing record. He befriended Ed Rendell, the mayor who denounced him. (More on that later). His career numbers are comparable to Hall of Famers Troy Aikman and Terry Bradshaw. His first game against the Eagles is on October 3. McNabb claims it's another game on the schedule.
He is either a liar or Jesus.
Back in 1999, when Ed Rendell orchestrated his campaign against drafting you, was there a moment when you were like, "Can the mayor do this?"
I was saying to myself, 'Man, you have so many other things to focus in on, and you're focusing on me being drafted.' I remember being booed at the draft, I remember going back into the green room, and I remember laughing with my parents. I'd never been booed in my life. You see it on TV, and you think, "Yeah, that won't happen to me." But when they did boo, I laughed about it.
So the long time perception that the booing pissed you off is wrong?
Yeah, absolutely. What people try to do is get something out of you by continuously bringing it up. "He was booed at the draft." We all know Philly fans can be a little difficult, but there's a higher percentage of fans who truly love the Eagles and appreciate the things that you present to them.
You must have ran into Rendell 1,500 times.
Do you joke about it?
We're cordial. We've talked about what happened and he apologized and I said, "I'm not really worried, everyone has their own opinions," and I swear, for the last seven, eight years, he's been on television, praising me, and telling the fans, "Hey, this is the dumbest move you possibly could have done." I talked to him about three months ago and he told me, "You know what, I'm still an Eagles fan, but I'm a Donovan McNabb fan, everything that you brought to this city and what you were able to do every Sunday and Monday, I was truly behind you, and I'm going to continue to be behind you, I feel like it's a slap in the face for them to trade you within the division, but I know you're going to be able to prevail."
So were you upset the Eagles traded you within the division?
I was more happy that it was over. Every year for the last three or four years, it was the same drama, me and Brett Favre, going back and forth, "Is Brett going to play, is he not, are the Eagles going to trade Donovan, is this it for Donovan McNabb?" Brett does what he wants to do, he's his own man. For me, I just believe in keeping everything to myself and continuing to stay focused on the goal at hand—to win a Super Bowl no matter what team I'm with.
You're a pretty placid guy. Some people take that to mean you don't care.
The people in the Eagles locker room and the people in that building know how much I care, and am truly passionate about it. If they come out here and watch me train, they'll understand. If I'm in 112-degree weather working out, then I truly care, and when I step out on that field, I care. You can't focus on what people may think. Everyone has their own opinions, and if they express it to me, I say 'Thank you for sharing that with me,' because that bothers them more, when you don't get upset.
Your stats match up favorably with Hall of Famers like Terry Bradshaw and Troy Aikman, but you're rarely spoken of in conversations about great quarterbacks. What will it take to get that respect? Must you win a Super Bowl?
I remember growing up in Chicago and being a big Walter Payton fan, and I never could understand why they would not put Walter Payton in the class with the Jim Browns. It wasn't until he won the Super Bowl when they began to say he was the best running back ever. I think that's so unfortunate for a player, for what they've been able to accomplish, if it's yardage, if it's wins, whatever it may be, because you can't say, "OK, this guy has won this percentage of games, he's thrown for these touchdowns, and this guy is comparable and maybe had one or two more touchdowns and five percent lower wins, but this guy's not a Hall of Famer because this guy's won a Super Bowl and he hasn't." You have guys like Dan Marino, guys like Warren Moon, Dan Fouts, guys like that who are throwing for a lot of yards, maybe not have won Super Bowls, but still, their names always come up when you talk about top quarterbacks. But really, are they Hall of Famers, and why are they Hall of Famers? Warren Moon had to play, what, twenty years to rack up the numbers that he put up? But he was still a solid quarterback. I was happy that he made the Hall of Fame. Then you have some quarterbacks who are not in who really deserve to be in.
What was the secret to your relationship with Andy Reid?
He stuck his neck out to draft me when he had the Mel Kipers of the world and some scouts who said, "He's not accurate, he's going to take three, four, five years to learn a West Coast offense." Our relationship is so strong that I can finish his sentences sometimes. We laugh about it. When I'm out on the field, if he calls a play and I can't hear it, I'd look back and mouth "What is it?" and he'd just say, "Just call something." I'd go out there and probably get a first down or we score or whatever, and he'd say, "Why don't you just call the whole game?" and I would say, "I've been waiting on that."
**I asked Governor Rendell if he had any questions for you, and he said to ask you if T.O. had not gone crazy, how many Super Bowls would you have made it to? **
The whole T.O. situation, it was unfortunate, to say the least. When we both decided to make that move and bring him over to Philadelphia, the atmosphere changed in the locker room, the atmosphere changed in the city of Philadelphia. Every time we stepped out on the field, it wasn't, "Are we gonna win?" It was, "How much are we gonna win by?" and everyone had that confidence in the locker room that they were going to make a big play to either score or put us in position to score – I'm talking about defense, special teams, offense. And it's unfortunate how everything panned out afterwards, and we've talked about it to this day.
The NFL Network did a show on the league's top ten feuds, and you and T.O. were number six. You don't seem like a feud guy.
It's so funny because they always try to bring that up, and the clip that they show, we weren't feuding then. The whole feud happened in the offseason. When he was walking behind me at the Pittsburgh game, he was actually trying to calm me down. At that time I believe we were 7-0, and we went out there playing like a team that was 1-8 or something, and he was trying to calm me down: "Hey, we're going to get this thing going, don't worry about it, talk to the O-line, just give them some time." After he talked to me, he went and talked to the offensive line. Then if you remember, we played that game, and then we played Dallas the next Monday night, and we re-enacted it, I was following him and made fun of the whole deal.
Here's the question every Eagles fan wants to know. It's the Super Bowl, you're down by 10 to the Patriots late in the fourth quarter. Why did that touchdown drive take so damn long?
We were trying to figure out if T.O. was in or if T.O. was out, because of his leg. T.O. wanted to be in. We were trying to rotate different guys in and get the personnel together and things of that nature. The play calling was a little slow, maybe, but it made it look like we were just kind of standing around. We were hustling, it was just blown out of proportion.
Did you puke?
No, at no point did I throw up. I got hit and dumped on my face a couple of times…we lost Todd Pinkston…we all were gassed, and there were a couple of times in the game where I got hit either by [linebacker Teddy] Bruschi or by [defensive end Richard] Seymour, I had grass in my helmet and maybe I lost my wind a little bit, but nothing to the point where I would come out of the game. People can run that game back and forth and find out that I wasn't throwing up, but I guess it's a sexy topic to talk about.
As we talk, McNabb eats a salad and fingers a cross around his neck. He's a creature of habit; he comes here so often he gets a 15 percent discount. Despite the microwave heat, he wears a long-sleeved white shirt that is completely dry. We talk about the lowlights of his career and he doesn't grow defensive. The disses roll on McNabb, the disses roll off McNabb. It's just another contradiction in the Donovan riddle. When he entered the league, scouts whispered he wasn't smart enough to run an NFL offense. They cited his notoriously low Wonderlic score; a pre-draft semi-IQ test administered to all NFL prospects. In reality, McNabb mastered Reid's offense in a season. His reward for that was Rush Limbaugh going on ESPN and proclaiming McNabb was overrated, saying, "The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well." McNabb kept his mouth shut while all around him shat invective. The Donovan-is-dumb talk disappeared for awhile, but then returned after his 2008 overtime gaffe. When I ask about the OT fiasco and Limbaugh, he just smiles.
Do you regret being honest enough to say you were confused about the overtime rules?
The media wants you to be honest and up front with them, and then when you are, they just throw the dagger at you. "Oh, what was he thinking?" There were a lot of responses from other players who said the same thing I did, and then when the referee tells you, "Hey, you get another five minutes to go after this quarter…" Nobody talks about that.
You're in the game and the ref…?
We're in the game, and we go off on third and out, they're out there, and I'm like, "Hey, we need to get this thing going, how much time is left?" I'm looking at the clock and the ref is like, "We've got another five minutes after this quarter if no one scores." [Editors note: Yep, that's what he said. The NFL had no comment.] I didn't think nothing of it, but I did hear it. It was a mistake on my part. I've got to know the rules.
When Rush Limbaugh was talking about trying to put together an ownership group what did you think?
I didn't get involved in that, either. They tried to pull me in it, and I said, "Hey, there's one team I wouldn't play for."
If you ran into the dude…
I would shake his hand and say, "How are you doing, it's really nice meeting you." I wouldn't be stand-offish to him or anything.
What did you know about Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan before two or three months ago?
Just from watching his quarterbacks, and I knew Jake Plummer pretty well. I knew a little bit more than what people thought.
What do you mean by that?
Everyone talks about one side of it, but I know the other side of it, I know every other side of it, and I'm going through different channels right now to learn more.
To learn more about…
To learn more about Mike Shanahan, his approach, things of that nature, to learn more about [his son] Kyle Shanahan as an offensive coordinator. I think it's important, if we're going to work together, we need to know a little more about each other, and more than just me talking to them. I need to talk to some other people, and I've been learning a lot on the run. We've been running through OTAs [organized team activities], three minicamps, working out at the facility, and I've been at the facility more in Washington than I have in Philadelphia, so I've been putting that time in and trying to get the understanding together, the chemistry with the guys. I think it will pay off.
You're a veteran, but you don't know all these Redskins that well. And then Albert Haynesworth stages an epic holdout. Did you weigh in?
Yeah, what I tried to tell Albert was just to come in, talk to [defensive coordinator] Jim Haslett yourself, you can't hear Jim Haslett telling you one thing, then you have [general manager] Bruce Allen telling you another thing and Mike Shanahan telling you another. Come and talk to Jim Haslett yourself, find out exactly what he wants you to do, come to minicamp--it's only three days--come to three-day minicamp, see where they're at, and make a decision from there.
And he said…
[laughing] He said he was going to be there for the mandatory one. And then I just looked up on TV and found out he wasn't coming.
When the Eagles played the Falcons in the NFC Championship in 2005, you talked about how proud you were to be part of the first championship game with two African-American quarterbacks. I know you and Michael are friendly. How close are you?
Very close.
**As the incumbent Eagles QB you said all the right things when the Eagles signed him, but was there part of you that was like, "Why are they bringing him in?" **
I wanted him there. I remember meeting with my financial guy, just having a meeting with him and his agent and a couple of people in his group, and my financial guy called me and said, "Mike wants to talk to you." I talked to Mike and I just wanted to find out where his head was at. I said, "Can you come to Arizona and train with me?" and he said, "No, I can't, right now I'm on house arrest," and I said, "Just continue to keep in contact with me, how would you feel about coming to play with me in Philly? You'll have an opportunity to get your feet back under you, we can work together, and it also gives you an opportunity to be back in the West Coast offense, something that you ran in Atlanta, and you'd be able to just do your thing, and I've always thought about playing with you," and he said, "Let me see." I texted Andy that day and said, "What do you think about bringing Michael in?" He was like, "You're killing me." Then we went to training camp, [Eagles backup QB] Kevin Kolb had gotten hurt, and Andy called me about it. "What do you think about bringing Mike in?" I said, "I asked you about it last month, I have no problem with it." So they discussed it, and Mike called me and said, "Man, are you sure?" I said, "Man, it's no sweat off my back, I would love for you to come here and then we could work together. You can clear your name up, get out of the shadows, and focus on what you need to do."
Would you ever talk about where he'd been? Did he ever say, "I can't believe I did that…"
There was that reaction, but I didn't want to bring up the past. I wanted to just focus on the future. I asked him about a couple of issues, but I didn't harp on what happened.
You chafed at being described as a running quarterback when you first got to the NFL. You seemed to consciously work not to run after your second year. Looking back, are there times where you should have run, but didn't because you were intent on breaking that stereotype?
That is something that people go to. For me, it was, like I said, the process of learning the offense and the process of seeing the field, where you don't have to always use your legs. You look downfield, your first and second receivers are covered, you go to your third option, he's covered, you know that you have time, the offensive line's doing a good job, you look at your back, he's open – throw it to your back. The running back catches the ball, gets 15 yards. When you're younger, you don't think you have enough time, and you take off.
As a member of the fellowship of quarterbacks, did you feel for Favre when he threw that last interception against the Saints?
I felt for him because it was set up that Minnesota was going to win this game, this is the year, they've got all the pieces in place. I was thinking I would love for him to go out with a bang, like Jerome Bettis did. And then the other side was thinking, "If he makes it to the Super Bowl, they are going to talk nothing but Brett Favre all day."
Do you relive moments like that in your own career? You gave up an interception that Ronde Barber returned for a touchdown in your second NFC championship game that pretty much sealed the team's fate.
I do remember. I told Ronde I could probably do a speech for him for the Hall of Fame. In those situations, you still think you can get it in there because of our arm strength. I'm a little bit more cautious than Brett, but in that situation, especially in the NFC Championship, I felt like I could get it in that spot, that we could catch up and get upfield and score, and then we might have been down by three or something at the time. Ronde just cut it.
In 2008, you were benched for the first time. Late in the season you were reinstated as the starter and the Eagles went on a tear. You seemed to play with more of swagger, namely when the Giants ran you out of bounds after a scramble and you picked up one of their sideline phones. What were you thinking?
Really, it was just kind of a spur of the moment. I got pushed out of bounds and I looked over and saw a couple of guys I knew on the bench, and I picked up the phone and was like, "Hey, how are you doing, everything all good?" You should have seen their face.
Did you get fined for that?
I did, and I pleaded for that one. That's just not me, either. I laugh and joke with the guys out on the field, but I don't really get into that trash-talking like that, and I apologized to the coaches.
**Was that because of the tumultuous season you had? **
It was up and down, but it was just something that happened. The way that I approached the rest of that season after I got benched was, I told my wife, if we're going be traded somewhere, I'm about to make it harder than ever before. Every game was one of my best games.
How did you and Reid repair the damage after your benching?
I had a meeting set up with Andy and [owner] Jeffrey Lurie after the season. We sat down and talked, and I got everything off my chest from '99 on. It went all the way back to the T.O. situation, it went back to us not winning big games, me being criticized for whatever, leadership, whatever it may be, and how no one in the organization ever stepped up and said anything. They'll say something to you in the building, but not publicly. My feeling was, 'I'm out here getting cut up, where are you? I'm always defending and helping you guys, but where's that support?' I thought it was beneficial, because you can sit there and tell somebody you truly love them, you're a big fan, your family loves you, but what about when we're over here in the hot seat, where are you now?
Would you say that was one of the downsides of you being so low-maintenance?
Yeah, because you tend to get comfortable, and it's like, "Oh, he'll be fine, he'll just blow it off," but we all have feelings, we all have families.
Did Michael ever watch you and say how do you deal with this?
Yeah, Mike would say, "I don't know how you handle that." Kevin [Kolb] said the same thing. I said, "Look, let me explain something to you, what you have to do, I'm laying something out there for you to learn from, because here in Philadelphia, nothing's ever good enough unless you win a Super Bowl," and he's like, "Yeah…" and I said, "The most important thing you have to do is handle it well," because Kevin can get fiery, and I said, "Don't do it, because once you get fiery, then all of the sudden you look like you're on the defense, and now they'll really start coming at you."
**Do you know who Jim Cramer is, the CNBC analyst? **
Yes, I know who he is.
Huge Eagles fan.
I heard that.
He wanted me to ask you a question: Do you know how many people in Philadelphia appreciate the years you put in and would love to buy you a cheesesteak?
Everybody harps on the handful of people calling the radio station and wanting to vent, who personally don't like me, but for me, I've run into so many people in the Philadelphia area, the New Jersey area, North Jersey area, New York area, there are Philly fans out here, Philly fans in Florida, who truly love the things that I was able to present to the team, not just as a player, but as a person, and how I carried myself off the field. People look at more than just football, it's about life, and what life lessons can you learn from football?
He had one other question: "What do I do with my number 5 jerseys?"
They'll probably be on sale now. It's an honor still to see people wearing your jersey, it really is. I'll never forget that.

E3 2005: Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi Impressions
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: PlayStation 2,
Atari has yet another Dragon Ball Z game called Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi. This game is pretty amazing. In the previous Budokai games, you were limited to a certain area, but in Budokai Tenkaichi it's a free for all. I played this game for 15 minutes and I was blown away. The levels are completely interactive and destructible, more than 4 different gameplay modes, over 60 playable characters, controllable flight ability, and more. This game really grasps the DBZ world and puts it on your console.

Major Nelson Speaks on Xbox 360 Backwards Compatibility
Posted by Troy Categories: Video Games,
First things first, Major Nelson works at Microsoft under the title of "Xbox Live Director of Programming." He has had a blog for many years and his credentials seem to be unquestionable. That said, Nelson believes the Xbox 360 team is trying to insure full backwards compatibility with all Xbox games. Currently the goal is to have the top games playable at launch, and all games playable thereafter. A timetable has not been set, but he believes the rumors about "recompiling" games is plainly false.

E3 2005: Super Mario Strikers Impressions
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Nintendo Gamecube, Sports,
Super Mario Strikers is one of the four new titles which Mario and his crew will be making an appearance in this year. We got our hands on this game, and although it was an early build, it is thoroughly enjoyable. In fact, I am willing to say that this is the greatest Mario sports title ever, period. In this build, two teams were available - Mario and Donkey Kong. Each team captain has a few Koopa Troopa's or Toad-like teammates. Now, the soccer mechanics are just great. If you remember Sega Soccer Slam, I would say that the actual soccer game actually plays a bit better in Strikers. Of course, it wouldn't be a Mario title if there weren't some twists. Unlike what you will find in the latest iteration of Mario Tennis on the Gamecube, the power-ups and distractions in Strikers don't seem too gimmicky.

The Fish Stick Frying Pan
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Misc. Tech,
It is stuff like this that convinces me that the world is going downhill fast - but that doesn't mean that we can't enjoy it. Case in point, this Fish Stick Frying Pan. I mean, you look at it and you can just tell that you won't be able to use this for anything but fish sticks - it is both sad and exciting all at once.

E3 2005: Killer 7
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: First Person Shooters, Nintendo Gamecube, PlayStation 2,
Killer7 from Capcom has been announced and is one of the highly anticipated titles of E3 this year mainly due to that fact that this is the second cell shaded first person shooter game to be released. XIII was the first FPS that was cell shaded, but Killer 7 has a unique twist to it. In the game you are Harman Smith, an assassin who is the dominate consciousness over 7 different personalities. Switching between his seven different personalities, Harman employs each personality's unique abilities to complete their mission. Using each personalities unique abilities, you must destroy creatures released by a kingpin crime boss and make your way to him to end the criminal madness. You can switch through any of the 7 personalities during gameplay to reach your goal. Killer 7 will be released in June 2005 for the PS2 and Gamecube.
Never Be Disrespectful To Prospects
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Planning,
I just read a great example of how to not grow your company and maintain good rapport with potential clients. Unfortunately, I have seen it too many times. If you are trying to sell a product or service, you need to know that you will more than likely not be the only one selling it. Based on this fact, you will win some - and you will lose some. The key is to be gracious in defeat. If you are trying to pitch to someone, and they choose a competitor, always let them know that you appreciated their consideration of your services. You never know - they may choose to go with you in the future. Whatever you do, do not become another statistic:
One finalist in the process replied with a snide comment to me after I informed the firm that I was moving forward with someone else. I thanked him for his time, and he replied with a curt email that read, simply:
"even though you wasted it."
That's simply bad form.
As you can imaging, this service provider will not be getting a return call - no matter how good his work may be.

Apple Recalls PowerBook Batteries

Apple is voluntarily recalling certain lithium-ion rechargeable batteries that were sold worldwide, in systems and separately, between October 2004 and May 2005 which are used in 12-inch iBook G4, 12-inch PowerBook G4, and 15-inch PowerBook G4 notebooks. Looks like the batteries are overheating and posing fire hazards Xbox style. If your laptop battery includes model numbers A1061, A1078, and A1079 and serial numbers that begin with HQ441 through HQ507 and 3X446 through 3X510, you may want to go for the trade. Don't worry - they send first.

E3 2005: Teen Titans Comes To Consoles
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: Action, Nintendo Gamecube, PlayStation 2, Xbox,
I'm a big fan of the comic and show Teen Titans and Majesco has brought them to the console world. Not much of the story has been revealed, but we know that the game includes more than 10 of the villains from the series including Slade, Cinderblock, Jinx, and more. You start off with the standard Titans team: Raven, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Robin, but you can also unlock at least 10 more characters. You can switch between which Titan you want to play as in real time, which is good because each Titan has unique abilities. There is a multi-player mode where you can either do Co-Op or up to 4 player versus. I haven't gotten a chance to play the game yet, but from what we've seen it looks promising. Teen Titans will be on Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube and is scheduled for release early 2006.
AOL Raises Prices A Month After Lowering Them
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Corporate News, Internet,
You know, this is the kind of thing that just proves that AOL really has lost its over the last, oh, 12 years or so. Recently, they dropped their prices in an effort to gain more subscribers since people are leaving them in droves. Hell, they even started selling their own branded PC with the AOL service thrown in! So, they dropped the dial-up price from $24 to $20, and their BYOA plan from $15 to $10. Ready for the best part? This price hike brings the prices back up to where they were - and the lower prices weren't even in effect for a full month! It's things like this that put a smile on my face.

Gizmondo To Launch In US On August 11
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Handhelds, Video Games,
The Gizmondo multi-entertainment handheld device has finally received a firm United States launch date. You can expect to be able to pick one up on August 11, 2005. I have been messing around with it at E3, and personally I am not too impressed with the unit. I mean, it's cool that there are some GPS-enabled games and all, but one can only have so many handheld devices. The Gizmondo seems to be a jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none.

Carlos Lee won't be in the lineup today or tomorrow, as he's been given permission to travel to Houston for "a business matter." It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes, or even Mycroft Holmes, to figure out that with the Rodeo going on, that's where Lee will be.
"He has my blessing. We had discussed it when he first got here. I already told him he is in the lineup for Saturday."
Does it seem like it's a bit off-putting to show up and start talking about vacation days? That's a big no-no in my industry. Which is obviously not baseball.
We also see from Fallas' blog post that Berkman could DH in tomorrow's game, but will definitely be out today.

OK, this is where stepping gets interesting.
When we bring our feet somewhat together (being careful not to create a "dead" moment), we should feel like we are squeezing through a narrow opening. It should feel like we are in a hallway that gets narrower at the point when we bring our feet together.
Our whole body is compressed toward the vertical centerline. Because we are moving forward quickly, this compression sort of "piles up." The tension wants to go somewhere.
This creates an opportunity for us to direct the tension in any direction we desire -- typically in the direction we want to step, but not necessarily so. This moment when our feet come together (almost) is sort of a neutral moment at which time we can move in any direction. And the tension does not have to be released as a step. It can be a strike, block, kick -- whatever we want to do.
Imagine squeezing a rubber ball. This is a "super ball." Once you squeeze it, it wants to spring back with great force. With a gentle nudge, you can send it in any direction you please.
So what squeezes in the body? Everything, but most noticeably the lats, thighs, sides, shoulders, etc. -- basically the entire core of the body.
With practice, the release of the tension created in this manner can be very explosive.
OK, let's be careful. Explosive sounds like a good thing. But is it? An explosion usually is in all directions. This is not very efficient. If you are trying to generate power in front of you, only the part of the explosion going in that direction will be helpful. So when I say explosive, I mean a directed explosion.
The nice thing about compression is that you can compress from any direction, and release in any direction. You can move forward, squeeze, and release forward. Or you could move back, squeeze, and release forward. You could squeeze your body in whatever direction you like, and then, from a neutral position, release in any direction (or expression) you like.
Getting back to the "Shape" of Footsteps, I hope that I have made the point that the "shape" is not simply part of the process of getting from one place to another by stepping. The "shape" of the footsteps is also part of the process of generating power (through compression and release).
The next time you move forward in a kata, imagine that you are squeezing through a narrow opening. There is barely room for your shoulders to fit! Once you squeeze through, you should be able to explode on the other side.
Hopefully so!

ltroy04 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 68 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
Austin Sin & Style
An Austin TX, boutique selling locally made sex toys, glass pipes, jewelry, lingerie, rave gear... All things SINFUL!
Urban, stylish men and women under 40 who will are into having fun, being sexy, and living life to the fullest, regardless of what anyone says is proper or 'ahem' legal.
There is going to be a large graffiti style mural inside the shop, so the sign on the outside should not clash with the very Urban style feel of the inside. The sign will be printed on a sheet of metal, so 1 color is preferrable. The size of the sign is 3.5 feet by 2 feet, so the logo in general should help fill that space. I'm looking for something very legible for people driving by on the street, but still very cool or clever if you look up close at it. Good luck!

A winner was selected from 210 designs submitted by 37 freelance designers.
We are a non-profit organization/club of nature photographers. The GNPA is dedicated to helping nature photographers of all skill levels improve their photography, learn and grow, meet other outdoor photographers, participate in great trips and events, help others understand the value of the natural world and give focus to a special area of interest in photography.
Our goal is to make the GNPA the best nature photography club in the Southeast, and we want you to help guide and mold it into exactly the kind of club you want.
Nature photographers and people who are interested in nature.
Design should be able to be used on all types of media (website, business cards, advertising, shirts, hats, letterhead, banners, etc) and should work in both a vertical and horizontal format. Colors need to be, obviously, natural earth toned colors and should also work in black and white. We would like a unique and fairly simple design that is non-gender related. Please do not use images of cameras or shutter diaphrams. We do not want cartoonish looking clipart to be used in the design. Our geographical location, Georgia/southeast, can be inferred to in the design. We mostly refer to the club as GNPA instead of Georgia Nature Photographer's Association.

Rogue Theatre presents 'Firebird'
Journey into the forgotten land of legend
For a fiery tale from Celtic flames.
Hear the primal roar of fire
Remember that ancient blood flows in your veins.
Created by Cornwall's award-winning Rogue Theatre.
( What's On Cornwall Award-Winners for "Best Theatre Show" and "Best Theatre Company" )
(Part of Rogue's spellbinding summer double-bill).
Firebird is a stirring, spellbinding, heart pounding, majestic and riotous feast for the senses combining vivid imagery, wild theatre that takes place all around you, incredible live music , breath taking dance, immersive battles, supernatural visions and a beautiful tale.
Following the fearless footsteps of Rogue's King Arthur, Firebird is an immersive theatre adventure into the spell-casting shadows of Tehidy Woods North Cliffs.
Follow the flames to a fantastical bewitchment, a blazing show in the heart of the wild.
Firebird tells a tale of astonishing and dreadful beauty, about fire, about forgotten magic, revenge and the consuming flames of desire.
This is a tale of a Celtic Warrior Queen, a new world with new kings, the unrestrainable force of savage love and the cost of stealing from the old gods.
Written by Ollie Oakenshield and Directed by Angelina Boscarelli - Firebird is designed for brave hearts and wild imaginations.
The show is performed in two halves with an interval half way.
All are welcome, from near or far!
Follow the smoke to the wild heart of Cornwall and find the bright and enthralling flames of Rogue's Wild Theatre.
A glimpse of Rogue Theatre's previous Summer Ball
The experience –
Arrive and park up between 7.00pm and 7.20pm.
An otherworld host will meet you at the box office at the edge of the woods between 7.20pm and 7.30pm and will show you to the start of your path
Follow your path as it twists and turns through the roots and branches of the darkening wood. Follow the lights, flames and visions that lead the way.
The path delivers you to a clearing, a cavern of mighty trees, with roots that reach the otherworld, these pillars of the forest theatre wait excitedly.
Here there is a bar and refreshment tent, here there is fire and a cauldron bubbling with vegetable stew, here there is music and a warm welcome, with hay bales for seating and even a lovely compost loo!
When we have all arrived, the show starts at the woodland heart. Magic bristles in the branches as the tale weaves through the forest and onto the stage.
There is an interval half way to grab a drink from the bar or a stew from the fire.
The show ends at around 10.00pm.
Time to Grab a drink, Gather by the fire, Catch up with the Rogues, Enjoy the woods at night.
Then, when you are done or your own world starts to call you home, wander back the way you came or shortcut down the woodland lane.
Check your reflection when you reach your car, for the chances are, you're not quite the same.
Reasonably priced hot refreshments, cold drinks, beer, wine and cider (and Rogue's epic Woodland Vegetable Stew) will be available to buy.
Toilets are situated near the performance area.
For your woodland adventure we recommend you bring a blanket, a warm and waterproof coat, shoes for adventure (wellies if it has been raining) and a torch - or mobile app!
There will be hay bales to sit on (and a few chairs for those who need them), though feel free to bring cushions or fold out chairs (if you don't mind carrying them).
The event lasts about 2 ½ hours and takes place in the woodland so come prepared whatever the weather. (We will use our fabulous canopy to cover the audience if it should rain)!
Disabled Access can be arranged :

Firebird is the Twilight offering of Rogue Theatre's spellbinding Summer Double-Bill and emerges as the embers of the day fade beyond the North Cliffs giving way to the tide of magic shadows. Firebird starts each day at 7.30pm
( Wild is the Sunlight offering and takes place each afternoon at 2.30pm )
The Celts believed that trees
Are doorways between worlds

To a place of magic, where mythological beasts still roam.

A t 4 a.m. MST on Wednesday, four exhausted University of Colorado students joined more than 30 European students to present proposals to the Swiss transportation company A-Welle, via video chat.
The CU students have been collaborating with Swiss and German students for nearly four months as part of the Project-Oriented Learning Environment (POLE) program, led by the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland.
In September, the students traveled to Switzerland for a week where they were split into teams and charged with improving A-Welle's ticketing system.
The CU participants said after a semester of communicating with their team members through group video chats, they were used to working around the eight-hour time difference by Wednesday's presentation.
"It was challenging coordinating our weekly meetings with the time difference," said CU graduate student Abigale Stangl. Stangl, an information, communication and technology for development major, was paired with Swiss students and one German student, for who English was a second language, from varying majors.
"Between ... the language barriers and the fact that we were all from different programs, I really learned a lot about working within the international market," Stangl said. "We were having to translate our vocabulary through the different areas of study and also make sure we were clear about what we were saying, clearing up misunderstood English phrases occasionally."
Christoph Holliger, professor of physics at the Swiss university, started the POLE project 13 years ago and said this year was the first to integrate CU students.
Alexander Repenning, a computer science professor at CU, was a student of Holliger's about 30 years ago and led the American students throughout the project.
"Undergrads get this type of collaboration experience in their senior capstones, but you don't really get this kind of exposure as a grad student," Repenning said. "The experience provided here really differs for each student depending on their focus, but they're all learning lessons that took me years of working in the real world to get."
Sadie Zukowski, a computer science grad student at CU, said she's not planning on going into an international market after graduation, but she learned a lot about working with people from varying backgrounds.
"I think that lesson is valuable in any work environment," Zukowski said.
CU graduate students Rosalind O'Brien and Jeeeun Kim also participated in the project. Kim paid for a second trip to Switzerland last week to help her team finalize their project and present to A-Welle.
The students said the presentations went well and they expect the company to implement some of the suggestions from the teams, including a new, user-friendly interface for their ticket vending machines.
Holliger and Repenning said the collaboration was beneficial for students from all three countries and they hope to continue bringing CU students into the project.

A Baltimore man — who has been tried for rape three times in three years — was acquitted again by a city jury Friday.
Prosecutors said that Nelson Bernard Clifford, 35, broke into a Reservoir Hill home and raped a woman at knifepoint in November of 2011. DNA and other evidence linked him to the woman's home, but Clifford's defense attorney argued that the sex was consensual and said the accuser gave an inconsistent account.
Last week, Clifford was found not guilty in a rape case where a woman gave an account similar to his accuser in his most recent trial. In that case, he said the sex was consensual. City prosecutors lobbied to have the cases tried together, but were unsuccessful.
Clifford — who was convicted in 1997 of a second-degree sex offense — is still being held in the Baltimore City Detention Center, awaiting trial in an attempted rape case.

I grew up on a quiet winding road in a town next to a muddy brown river. On the map, we were never anything bigger than a small dot on the banks of a thin blue line.
I grew up on a quiet winding road in a town next to a muddy brown river. On the map, we were never anything bigger than a small dot on the banks of a thin blue line.
We had a library on the top floor of town hall. We had one drugstore, one grocery store, a pet store and a handful of bars.
And then, people found us � tens of thousands of them. Our small town became a full-fledged suburb, running into surrounding towns like a spilled bottle of ink.
Now, like so many other small towns, my hometown is gone, unrecognizable with its gridlock, three-zillion superstores and a downtown with as much personality as a landfill.
Ironically, about the time I moved away, the world moved into the rapidly expanding metropolis of the web.
These days, you don�t have to drive by your high school for a dose of nostalgia. You can find your former classmates through a variety of social networking sites. And if you don�t look for them, they�ll still look for you.
You can shop in stores around the world and have your purchases delivered to your door.
You don�t have to wait for new books to get to the library; you can purchase and read them online instantly.
I�ll admit, I�m kind of stubborn when it comes to change.
I was one of the last to trade the heft of a good book for electronic page turning, one of the last to do Black Friday shopping online. I still haven�t looked up my former classmates and I still pay my bills with by writing out checks and mailing them.
But I�d be lying if I didn�t admit to having a serious crush on the convenience of the web. There�s something so compelling about the speed of it all, about being able to find anything you want, no matter how odd or obscure.
Add the convenience of smartphones and you really wouldn�t have to leave your house to know what�s passing you by. Doesn�t matter how far off the beaten path you live; the web travels right through your living room.
Are we missing out on something fundamentally important with our reliance on the Internet and smartphones? We are.
We are missing having the same pharmacist fill our prescriptions for decades, we are missing the intimacy of shopping in stores where people know who we are and how we�re doing.
We�re missing sitting in the bleachers with our neighbors and the kind of face to face conversations that once made up our entire world.
These days, my hometown is a bigger dot on the map. My muddy river is still a thin blue line. And if I ever want to see it again, the information highway will take me there.
Sure beats driving 1,000 miles.

Charlotte staged a hijacking of sorts on Twitter yesterday, one organizers hope will help convince the Democratic National Convention to come to the Queen City in 2012. The idea came from Desiree Kane, director of community over at CLTBlog. With the city suffering from teacher layoffs and bank cutbacks, she figured the convention's multi-million economic impact would be just what Charlotte needs.
She came up with the idea for a Twitter "hashtag party," where Charlotte Twitterers would, from 10 a.m. to noon Thursday, effectively hijack the hashtags Democratic National Committee members use in their Tweets. (For non-Twitterers, a hashtag is a keyword attached to the end of a Tweet, preceeded by the "#" symbol).
Members of the DNC, which is holding its summer meeting in St. Louis today, often use #DNC and #DNC10, so she and her collaborators urged local Twitterers to send out tweets including those hashtags and saying good things about Charlotte. They also added their own local hashtag, #CLT2012, so Charlotte folks could track the local tweets. Some 500 people got involved, Kane said last night. Search for #CLT2012 on Twitter, and you'll find, amid official-sounding DNC tweets about delegate selection rules and regional caucus meetings, a bunch of cheeky posts about the awesomeness of Charlotte. Among the reasons tweeted: salted caramel brownies 24 hours a day, great barbecue and 20 Chik-Fil-A restaurants.
The DNC won't pick its city until later this year – Charlotte is vying against St. Louis, Minneapolis and Cleveland – but Kane feels good about the effort. "All I did was provide the vehicle, and the Charlotte Twitter community took hold of it," she said. "It was an unbelievably positive outpouring of affection for Charlotte."

Why hasn't the Observer picked up on the recent story of Missouri and the Prop C referrendum that recently overwhelmingly passed in that state. St. Louis is considered by many to be Charlotte's primary competition so it would appear that would be a story worth running given it paints Missouri as a very anti Obama state.

Great idea! Any neanderthal who doesn't think getting a national convention here wouldn't be a terrific idea and a shot in the arm the city desperately needs deserves to...well... become extinct.
I'd even welcome the Republicans! Heck, we essentially already had their national convention here a few months back: the NRA. With them and Sarah Palin in town simultaneously, you could almost feel the collective IQ of the city drop about 50 points. The Dems would bring it back up. Bring 'em on!

Now don't you understand. That is the playbook they are using as the idea of Change at any cost is the theme... oh change now where have we heard that lately and what will be the 2012 slogans?

When it comes to bulbs we don't always meet with consistent success. And, before you blame the chipmunks, the girl who mows the grass or the bulb company for their lack-luster performance, consider some of the other factors that influence how well flowering bulbs flower. Sunlight; crowded bulbs; pre-mature removal of foliage the previous season; or a winter rest period that wasn't cold enough or long enough may play a role in poor performance. The life cycle of a bulb is different than other herbaceous perennials and there are a couple of things we need to unde

pdeva needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 82 designs submitted by 35 freelance designers.
Chronon Systems has created Chronon, which can be described as TiVo for Software.
Chronon records every line of code executed in a software program and saves it to a file. In case of a problem developers can playback the recording, going back and forth in time in their code to see exactly what happened.
If you are a programmer, you can think of this as a time travelling debugger.
developers, programmers, IT managers, CTOs, system admins, CEOs, QA people
The logo for Chronon will be used in all our branding for this technology. Since Chronon Systems is our company name, the logo for Chronon will be used to represent our company too.
The word Chronon stands for a unit of time though please do not do things like making a clock out of the 'C' letter.
Should look good on a white background.
Should look clean/subtle. Not overly flashy.
Logos we like -
Atlassian, Zend, Dell, Fast Company
The final project must be deliverable as both a Adobe Illustrator vector graphic as well as a Adobe Photoshop graphic.
This design will be trademarked so must be unique and not based on any stock graphic, graphic, other logo, etc...

Eric, one of the buyers here at Performance HQ, was lucky enough to fly to Italy last week to check out a few days of the Giro d'Italia, and he shot some amazing video footage that we're sure you won't find anywhere else. Eric was able to score a seat in one of the Vittoria neutral support cars during Stage 9, which ended high atop smoldering Mount Etna, and he was doubly lucky to be in the car that followed the leaders for the entire stage!
Eric was there, video camera in hand, to watch the breakaway, along with the mad dance of cars, motorcycles and fans that accompanied them as they led the way up the mountain. And he also had a front-row seat as Alberto Contador launched the attack that would put him in the pink jersey at the end of day (the famed maglia rosa of the overall race leader).
So enjoy our behind-the-scenes view into a day in the life of a Grand Tour stage, as seen from inside the race:


text: Lorentz invariance is considered a fundamental symmetry of physical theories. However, while Lorentz violations are strongly constrained in the matter sector, constraints in the gravitational sector are weaker, allowing to contemplate the idea of Lorentz-violating gravity theories. In this talk I will discuss the effects of Lorentz violations in the quantum cosmology scenario by analyzing the properties of a simple anisotropic model in the framework of Horava-Lifshitz gravity and, if time permitting, some partial results on the viability of this class of theories.

Police Department
Micheal Wills Arrested in Death of Carter Vetter
On March 2, 2010, at 9:45p.m., emergency units were dispatched to a home in 3600 block of Lewis Avenue on a child that was not breathing. Attempts to revive the boy at the scene were not successful. He was transported to a Lincoln hospital and pronounced deceased at 10:28pm. An autopsy the following morning revealed that 22 month old Carter Vetter did not die from natural causes.
Over the next two months, Lincoln Police Department investigators consulted medical experts. Carter Vetter died as a result of blunt force trauma. Micheal Wills, who lived in the home with Carter and his mother, was the sole care provider for Carter immediately preceding his death. The timeline of events and medical analysis indicates that Micheal Wills is responsible for the homicide.
An arrest warrant was issued and Micheal Wills was taken into custody without incident at 10:00 a.m. on May 28, 2010. He has been lodged in the Lancaster County Jail for Child Abuse Resulting in Death, a Class 1B Felony.

Three New Year's Resolutions to Improve Your Finances in 2013
Dec 31, 2012
As bills from the holidays start to stack up, many may start 2013 with financial resolutions to reduce debt, cut back on spending, and be more responsible with credit. And, like most resolutions, keeping those promises will take discipline and an achievable plan of attack, say experts. Here are three ideas to get you started.
1. Get Out of Credit Card Debt
Make a resolution to stop using credit cards and instead use cash or debit cards, advises Dave Ramsey, nationally syndicated radio talk show host and author of The Total Money Makeover. Next, list your existing credit card debt, and all other debts except for your home, and pay them off from smallest to largest using the debt snowball plan. Pay as much as possible on the smallest debt, while making minimum payments on the others. Then, once you've paid off the smallest debt, take the money you put toward it each month and apply it to the next one and the next. Pay off the smallest debts first for quick wins, says Ramsey, to give yourself motivation to reach your goal.
2. Cut Unnecessary Spending and Save
Track how much you spend and then look to cut back on unneeded expenses, such as morning lattes, fast food snacking, and extravagant gifts. Put this money aside for long-term financial goals and/or reward yourself at saving milestones with creative (free) treats in your neighborhood and community. The money you put aside will ensure a more secure future and help everyone in the family learn the importance of budgeting and saving.
3. Improve Your Credit Score
Higher credit scores can translate into lower interest rates on loans and credit cards, lower auto and homeowner insurance rates, and lower deposits to utility companies.
