Alleged iPhone 6 leaked pics show protruding camera
Alleged photos of the iPhone 6 have surfaced on Weibo. The pictures show a large phone that appears to have a metal frame in the middle, capped off on each end by D-shaped pieces with rounded edges. A protruding rear camera with a smaller, circular flash than the iPhone 5s can be spotted in the shots.
Another photo reveals a computer rendering that appears to match recently seen drawings; the design is in some ways similar to the fifth-generation iPod touch, but with iPhone-like antenna compartments. The veracity of these photos — including any identification of which new alleged iPhone 6 model this may be — is unclear. [via G 4 Games]
Blackberry wins injunction banning Typo Keyboard Case
Blackberry won a preliminary injunction against Typo Products last Friday, banning the Typo Keyboard Case from being sold in the United States. Judge William Orrick said Blackberry established a "likelihood" of patent infringement, according to Reuters. Blackberry, which first filed suit against Typo in January, said the ruling will "help prevent further injury to Blackberry from Typo's blatant theft of our patented keyboard technology." Typo announced that it plans to appeal the decision.
Google's Android key to latest Apple-Samsung trial
The latest Apple-Samsung trial is scheduled to start today, and both the New York Times and Wall Street Journal report that Google's Android operating system will be in the crosshairs. While Samsung is claiming Apple violated two of its patents, Apple is seeking about $2 billion in damages for the violation of five of its own mobile software patents. Samsung claims that features from four of the affected patents were licensed as part of Android, which Google worked on before Apple filed the patents. If Apple wins, Google could have to make significant changes to Android. Apple is also seeking $40 per infringing Samsung device sold in the United States.
iLounge Game Spotlight: Sometimes You Die
Sometimes You Die ($2) is a new minimalist puzzler/side scroller from Philipp Stollenmayer. Unlike most games, in which a player's death is usually a setback, Sometimes You Die lets players benefit from dying. Many of the puzzles seem to require such sacrifices.
It's clear from the very beginning that Sometimes You Die is a different kind of side scroller. Players use onscreen controls to move a simple boxed cursor — a greater-than/less-than symbol — through dark levels with ominous music, voiceovers, and omnipresent typography. You can move left, right, and jump. Some players may linger on the words in the background longer than others, as Sometimes You Die attempts to make you question basic tenants of gaming as you're zipping and jumping around. The animation is sparse but smooth.
Report: Apple attempting to hire Swiss watchmakers
Apple is trying to lure top Swiss watchmakers away from their companies to work on the iWatch, the Financial Times reports. Jean-Claude Biver, president of LVMH's watches and jewelry division, said Apple has tried to recruit staff from Hublot and parts manufacturers. "Apple has contacted some of my employees — I saw the emails personally," he said, noting none of those employees accepted an offer from the Cupertino company. Apple declined comment.
Swatch chief executive Nick Hayek said his company has been contacted by "practically all players" in "smart wearables," but said, "However, we see no reason why we should enter into any partnership agreement." According to the report, Hayek seeks to "protect Swatch's intellectual property advantages over tech rivals, including ergonomic design, longevity and battery life."
Philips announces Hue Lux and Hue Tap
Philips has announced new additions to its Hue lightbulb line — Hue Lux and Hue Tap. Lux is a white-only Hue bulb. The Hue app can control the brightness and set schedules for the Lux bulb, which comes in a starter kit with two bulbs and a Hue bridge for $100. Hue Lux will be released "after summer 2014."
Hue Tap is a light switch for Hue which requires no batteries or wires; the switch works using kinetic energy from finger taps. The switch lets users control bulbs and activate lighting scenes. Tap will be available "after summer" in North America and Europe for $60.
iTunes credits sent out for e-book price fixing
Customers affected by Apple's role in the e-book price fixing scandal are now receiving emails with iTunes credits. Though Apple is appealing the ruling, the company is still sending credits to customers. The emails are coming from the E-Book AG Settlement Administrator — not Apple — so customers should be sure to check their spam folders. Each email contains an iTunes Store credit activation code, and the credit will expire on April 1, 2015, if not activated. [via 9to5Mac]
Apple getting 30 percent of Office 365 in-app sales
Microsoft's Office for iPad apps went on sale Thursday, and it's been revealed that a cut of the Office 365 subscriptions sold within the apps are going to Apple. Apple confirmed that Microsoft is paying the customary 30 percent cut to Apple for in-app sales of the subscriptions, Re/code reports. Apple previously rejected a Microsoft SkyDrive update which offered storage subscriptions due to Microsoft's disagreement on the 30 percent cut. Microsoft has now apparently acquiesced to Apple's demands.
Microsoft also announced that it is offering free Office 365 subscriptions to the first 50 people who bring their iPad into Microsoft retail stores, starting today. The free subscriptions will last for one year. As noted in the fine print, customers must participate in Microsoft's "Put My iPad to Work" social campaign to be eligible — whatever that is.
Apps: Game of Thrones Ascent, iTunes Movie Trailers 1.4, Star Wars: Assault Team + Twitter 6.3
The strategy game Game of Thrones Ascent has come to iPad from developer Kongregate. Based on the wildly popular George R.R. Martin novels and HBO show, Game of Thrones Ascent already has 2.5 million online players. The game will be updated with new quests each Monday following new Sunday episodes on HBO — season 4 of the show starts April 6. While free to play, Game of Thrones Ascent does feature a number of in-app purchases.
Apple's free iTunes Movie Trailers app has added a number of features in version 1.4. iTunes Movie Trailers now allows users to read Rotten Tomatoes critic reviews directly in the app. Users can also add a movie to the Favorites section to be notified when the film is released in theaters or on the iTunes Store, and links to trailers can be shared using AirDrop. The customary bug fixes and performance improvements are also included in the update.
Report: New hi-res iPhones 'as early as September'
Apple's new iPhone will arrive in two screen sizes "as early as September," Japan's Nikkei Asian Review reports. The report claims mass production of LCD panels will start next quarter, noting the resolution of the handset "is expected to be significantly higher than that of current models." As previously reported, Nikkei claims the new iPhone will allegedly come in two screen sizes — 4.7" and 5.5". Another report claimed the two screen sizes could be 4.7" and an even larger 5.7".
Microsoft announces Office for iPad
As expected, Microsoft officially announced Office for iPad today at an event featuring new CEO Satya Nadella. Office for iPad will go live at 2 p.m. EST today with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint in the App Store. For free, users can download the apps to read and present documents. With an Office 365 subscription, users will get to create and edit documents.
Update: Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint for iPad are all live in the App Store.
Apple patent may hint at sapphire touchscreens
A newly published patent application further hints at the possibility of sapphire displays in Apple products. The application for "oleophobic coating on sapphire" reveals a component that would feature a surface coating and transition layer on top of a sapphire glass base layer, which may be "a window for a portable electronic device."
A described method would allow fingerprint-repelling oleophobic coating to be used on top of the sapphire glass. It's been reported that Apple's new Arizona sapphire plant has the capacity for mass production, with some speculating new iPhone displays could be made of sapphire.[via AppleInsider]
Apple engineer shares details on iPhone creation
Apple senior software engineer Greg Christie has revealed a number of details about the birth of the iPhone to the Wall Street Journal. Christie and his team were struggling with the original iPhone's software when Apple co-founder and then-CEO Steve Jobs told the group it had two weeks to figure it out, or it would lose the project to another team. Needless to say, the "shockingly small" team pulled through, creating features such as slide to unlock and placing calls from the phone's address book. Christie was made available ahead of next Monday's latest patent trial between Apple and Samsung — one patent Apple claims Samsung infringed upon is the slide to unlock feature. Among other details included in the article is a photo revealing a messy system used by Apple to test early iPhone software.
Apple working to add diversity to emoji
Apple is working on adding more diversity to the emoji keyboard character set, according to MTV Act. The website reached out to Apple CEO Tim Cook about the lack of diversity in emoji, and received a response from Katie Cotton, Apple Vice President of Worldwide Corporate Communications: "Tim forwarded your email to me. We agree with you. Our emoji characters are based on the Unicode standard, which is necessary for them to be displayed properly across many platforms. There needs to be more diversity in the emoji character set, and we have been working closely with the Unicode Consortium in an effort to update the standard." It's unclear when such an emoji update could happen.
Former Delta VP joins Apple online retail
Bob Kupbens, former vice president of marketing and digital commerce at Delta Air Lines, has joined Apple. According to his LinkedIn page, Kupbens' title is VP, Apple Online Retail. Advertising Age noted the title was unconfirmed, but regardless, Kupbens looks to play a large role in Apple's online retail efforts. The news comes during a time of change for Apple retail, as Angela Ahrendts will soon take over as the company's new head of retail as Senior Vice President of Retail and Online Stores.
Report: Apple sells 500 millionth iPhone
Apple has likely sold its 500 millionth iPhone during the past few weeks, Forbes estimates. There has yet to be an official announcement from Apple regarding the milestone; the company sometimes heralds large-scale sales in press releases, and at other times waits to mention them during media events.
Forbes notes that the most recent 100 million iPhones sold took "between two to six weeks less" than the previous 100 million. Apple sold 51 million iPhones alone in the first fiscal quarter of 2014, and added 1 million new users on China Mobile's network in February following the Chinese carrier's launch of the device.
Apps: FireChat, Photowall for Chromecast, Second Canvas Museo del Prado + Starbucks 3.0
FireChat is a new free app from Open Garden that lets users send messages to other nearby users without an Internet connection or mobile coverage, using iOS 7's Multipeer Connectivity Framework to link users together. Users can see what FireChat users everywhere are talking about, or they have the option of creating conversations for just nearby users. The nearby chat function works best within 30 feet and may be ideal for events or private conversations between friends in a larger group. FireChat has limitations — it's not possible to create private conversations, for one thing — but it's an interesting idea with lots of potential.
Google's new Photowall for Chromecast is a free photo app described as a "Chrome Experiment." Photowall lets users send photos from phones or tablets to a TV using Chromecast. The app takes users to a browser, where they can add pics one at a time. Anyone can participate using the provided link and code to make a live scrapbook of sorts. After the Photowall is finished, the app auto-generates a YouTube video of the experience. Google has some kinks to work out with the concept, but it's a cool addition for Chromecast users.
Apple wins Japanese patent infringement ruling
Apple didn't infringe on certain Samsung patents and won't have to pay damages in a Japanese court ruling, Bloomberg reports. A Tokyo District Court ruled the iPhone 4, 4s, and iPad 2 don't infringe on Samsung data communication patents. Samsung expressed their disappointment with the decision and noted that the company may appeal the ruling. Apple's U.S. multi-patent battle with Samsung is scheduled to resume next week.
Apple 'related' search spotted in App Store
Apple is apparently testing a new feature in the App Store that offers users related term suggestions when doing a search. A number of reports have noted the new feature, though it appears it was first spotted by developer Olga Osadcha. Osadcha found the feature while using iOS 7.1.
It's noted that not everyone is seeing the new feature as of yet — iLounge's editors have yet to see the function pop up when using our devices. It's possible that Apple is rolling out the feature gradually.
NPR news channel coming to iTunes Radio today
iTunes Radio will add National Public Radio as its first news channel, Re/code reports. NPR's channel is expected to go live today, and it will offer a free 24-hour stream of live news and pre-recorded shows. Additionaly, some local NPR stations will offer their own iTunes Radio channels "within weeks." The report notes it's also possible that on-demand NPR programming based on listening preferences and location may come to iTunes Radio in the future.
Update: The station, NPR News and Culture, is now live on iTunes Radio.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – Saturday proved to be another day filled with all-conference performances for the Lipscomb track and field teams at the 2012 Atlantic Sun Indoor Championships. Seven school-records fell and a total of 14 all-conference medals were awarded at the two-day event.
The men scored a school-best 85 points to earn a fifth-place finish, tied for best in Lipscomb history. The women scored 40 points to finish sixth.
"We had a great meet overall," said Lipscomb head coach Bill Taylor. "We accomplished things we never accomplished before. The school records were great, as were the all-conference honors."
As has often been the case, Tucker Peabody found the top of the podium again this week. The sophomore won the 200m dash with a 21.30s mark, two-hundredths of a second behind his own school record. . That time was nearly six-tenths of a second ahead of his next closest competitor.
He earned bronze in the 60m with a 6.90s run, less than two-tenths of a second behind the winning time. Both medals are the first in Lipscomb history for those events during indoor track and field season.
Sophomore Colin Dempster picked up a bronze medal in the 400m dash with a 49.04s mark and added a silver as part of the 4x400m relay team. He joined freshman Kenny Smith, sophomore Ryan Whitley and junior Bobby Bassett in a school record-breaking 3:19.28s run to finish second. Whitley would also add a fifth-place finish in the 60m hurdles with an 8.69s mark.
After earning silver in the pole vault during yesterday's competition, freshman Matthew Deery returned to snag bronze in the heptathlon on Saturday. He moved from sixth at the end of yesterday's competition into third by finishing second in the 1000m run, third in the 60m hurdles and third in the pole vault. His cumulative 4,889 points scored is a Lipscomb record and was one of three A-Sun scores that broke the conference championship mark on Saturday.
One day after just missing out on a medal with a fourth-place finish in the 3000m run, junior Isaiah Greer earned bronze in the 5000m run, finishing with a 15:04.19s time.
Freshman Kendra Lobley and sophomore Dani Walker (5:01.31s) finished second and third, respectively, in the mile run, with Lobley's 4:57.31s mark giving her the Lipscomb indoor record. For Walker, it's her second consecutive bronze medal in the indoor mile run.
Three other Lady Bison student-athletes broke Lipscomb records on Saturday. Senior Ashley Lehman's 5000m mark of 17:35.75s bettered her previous indoor record by more than 15 seconds.
Freshman Brenna Thompson finished fifth in the 400m, besting the school record with a 57.45s run.
Sophomore Anna Belner put together a 3.05m pole vault effort, becoming the first Lady Bison pole vaulter to reach the 10 feet mark. She finished sixth.
"I was particularly impressed with the effort, attitude and maturity of many of our freshmen," Taylor said."Kendra and Kellie ran races like experienced veterans. Matt showed he is tough and on the way to a big track career here. Houston (Ward) led the way in the throws. Brenna and Colin were great in the 400m. We really feel positive about the future and see this freshman class as a group that will push and lead our whole team to greatness.
"At the same time, I felt that we could have been better as a team. We did leave some points out there and there were some performances that weren't up to our expectations. That's not so much a criticism as it is an expectation of greatness and a challenge to become a much better program in every way. We will rejoice in our successes, while we set the bar even higher."
The Bison and Lady Bison track and field teams will take a week off before embarking on outdoor season March 3 at the UNF Spring Break Invite in Jacksonville, Fla.

I get to meet many Karate students and instructors. Here is what I notice and ask first:
- Is he in good shape?
- Does he act like a gentleman (politeness and courtesy)?
- Who is his Sensei?
- For how long has he trained?
If he does not act like a gentleman, I will think that he does not train his character as well as his body.
Knowing who his Sensei is will help me to understand the type of Karate he is learning -- the style and emphasis.
If he has trained for a long time -- say 30 years or more -- I will know that he is very serious about Karate.
You might have noticed that I did not ask about his rank or titles. These are too subjective and tell me very little about the person. In fact, if he emphasizes his rank and titles, this will tell me that he is insecure and seeking recognition through his Karate.
You will also notice that I did not ask about tournament wins. I am simply not interested in such things.
I have just thought about another thing I notice -- fingernails. If he has long fingernails I will think that he has not been training regularly.
I'm sure that Karate seniors have their own list of things that they consider. Usually, the first consideration is politeness and composure.

Penrose Church
Dwight is feeling grumpy, we all are busy with stuff, but when I ran across these photos, which are very poor in quality, I thought perhaps you might enjoy seeing them. If I remember correctly, the film these photos was on got wet (or something), but Mother felt the recording of the dismantling of the Penrose Church should be preserved. So, through the ripples in the film, see if you can imagine where Dad and Uncle Norman took out tubs and tubs of honey comb. Even though the front steps are hard to pick out, I remember spending hours on them. And I suspect we all wish we had the tin ceiling tiles. Wonder if we could find them in the dump piles across the river?

Don't you think that the process of tearing down the church left Mother with mixed feelings? I am glad that you kept these photos, rippled or not. Steve can tell a story or two about the coming down of the church.

Something sad about this church building coming down. Too many echos of hymns sung,babies blessed, sermons preached, weary farmers and families seeking solace on Sunday mornings, fiddles playing at country dances until morning, sacrifices made, tears shed. I can still see, hear, and feel them all.

I am NOT grumpy. We do not air our private feelings on a dignified family blog. Thank you.

Remember that Dad in his later years had dreams that he was required to rebuild the old church? I also remember when someone started a fire in the pot belly stove for a Saturday night dance (in the days when the church house was only used for that purpose and for a place for voting), and the chimney and roof caught fire. We noticed it, called the Powell fire department, and they came all the way out to Penrose to douse the flames. Later, it was discovered that Penrose was not the part of any fire district. That was corrected later, so that no one would be left out, but I sometimes wonder that if it had burned down, if the L wing on our house might not have been built. We used to go over with Mother's key and "play" on the old out-of-tune piano, and read the books, or bring some home to read. The interior of the church always seemed like a special place. Ann, so glad that you have these pictures - history continues.

Dwight, do you think you could clean up these negatives with your MAC? Is that ok to ask on a dignified family blog? I was merely quoting you when I said you were grumpy. Personally I think that just adds a little human touch to an otherwise amazing collection of how we lived, etc.

Father and I took the good tins from the ceiling and nailed them to the top of the loafing shed. We then sealed and painted them with aluminum roofing paint. Father was very proud of the fancy design. It didn't last for long though, a few days later a monster wind strom ripped the intire roof off and carried it all the way to the road. Then they went to the dump.
Father had a near life changing experience while tearing down the church. The roof had been cleaned down to the trusses. Dad decided to go work on the demolition in the middle of the day by himself. He had taken a large iron bolt out of one of the trusses wich served as a lynch pin. The truss toppled over creating a domino affect. Everything toppeled, one after another. The first one going right over father's head. Mother was terrified she had seen all of the remaining roof standing one minute and all gone the next. Father's description of the incident was that it all went,"whoosh."

Did I relay these tales before and if so are they similar?

No,all brand new to me, and a little amazing. Answers the question of what happened to the embossed tin ceiling, and I remember a photo of the roof in it's demolished state. Thanks for bringing us up to speed on the stories.

What interesting pictures. It's kind of eeery seeing the skeleton of what was once such an importante part of the history of Penrose; and gave me a few memories of my own. I wanted to be able to play the piano so badly, and I would try to plunck out church hymns on the old piano there. I have an old Book of Mormon from the books that were there, and I used it in my B. Of M. class my first year at BYU. The stories in the comments are really interesting. So, an icon of Penrose was gone, and Penrose still seems empty without it. I'm glad for the good piture that we have of it. I, too, dream about the church, it's usually about some occassion that is taking place there.
- August 7, 2009 at 10:10 AM
- Dwight said...
I worked on the pictures a bit but nothing I know about could resurrect anything; there just aren't any pixels there, to speak of. Maybe if I were more of an expert at photo restoring I could reconstruct. However, I'll watch for stuff that may make them a bit stronger. The tin ceiling was probably worth a ton of money; that stuff was very rare.

I keep having a recurring dream that there is a secret and luxurious room or chamber in the upstairs in this building. Now I'll never know. There used to be two outhouses; then there was only one, co-ed. Imagine the sanitation for sacrament, etc.
- August 7, 2009 at 7:54 PM
- Ann said...
I think in an earlier post Steve and I talked about spending election day at the church with Mother. My memories are much more of mischief and of the books. Somehow I think both Judy and Steve were involved in some of the mischief, altho in the earlier post, if I remember correctly, Judy hinted at the fact she wasn't a part of that). Among the books I have that are stamped Penrose LDS Church is Song of Years, which is still much loved by Judy and me, and others?(I have the original which Judy signed over to me in exchange for the aqua stuffed poodle Elizabeth gave us both after her first year at Laramie).

- Elizabeth said...
You went before you came to Church and waited afterwards. Simple.
- August 9, 2009 at 4:44 PM
- Judy said...
That would save half of the traffic in and out of Sacrament meeting. Before is a novel idea. I think we should go back to the more primative mode.
Dwight told me he was a man of few words. What do you think?

This device works great with my PEAR Sports app for running indoor/outdoor/treadmill, strength workouts, yoga, just about everything. I use this HR monitor with my Android phone and have good results. For best results, be sure that your paired device (phone) is within line of site when running. For example, bluetooth HR monitors will 'hang' and flat line several times during your run if your phone is in a waistpack at the back of your waist. I have no problems with this if I situate my pack in the front. Also, most bluetooth devices can't be used simultaneously (such as bluetooth earbuds and a bluetooth HR monitor) without experiencing the same 'hang' on your HR display. Just use regular wired earbuds when you use your HR monitor and you will be fine. I really enjoy the Wahoo Tickr X because it can be used with many different online exercise apps. The strap is comfortable to use, battery is easy to change and the device is flat and wears comfortably during any activity. Highly recommend!
I bought this for 7- minute workout and bike riding.
Firstly the heart rate monitor is good. It connects to third party apps. I use it with Endomondo. It picks up some reps with the 7min workout but that is hit or miss. the main issue though is the wahoo apps. They are awful. The run fit app doesn't work half the time. I have tried to do several fit tests and it doesn't work. The app doesn't register any records so you can't monitor any improvements. If you use Nike + app wahoo only sends total time and distance. So you don't get any splits. If you use the monitor without a phone it only tracks heart rate and time, not distance. So given a choice I would not buy again
Purchased this HRM 1 month ago. It connects to Bluetooth and the apps that I have used so far pretty seamlessly so that's a plus. A few things that could be addressed....1. When wearing it without using any app, it seems to have a mind of its own. I wore it one day for the whole day and while I slept and when I viewed the Wahoo Fitness app (where I record my activities) the next day, it showed that I had 10 individual exercise sessions at different times of the day including while I slept. Not sure why this happens but its inconvenient since one has to go into the app history and manually delete each of these 10 activities. The other issue I have to mention here is more Wahoo Fitness app related than TICKER X related....In my opinion, there should be more activities to choose from when selecting a new workout. Currently there is only running, treadmill, cycling, indoor trainer, and indoor cycling. Some additional options that could be included are rowing, weight training, and bodyweight training. If I am able, I will come back and update this review as I notice other strengths/areas of opportunity for the TICKER X HRM.
I primarily purchased this to use with Strava for cycling in addition to using it for strength training and general fitness. I am still trying to figure out if Strava even works with the Wahoo platform as I've tried several times and still can't get them to "link" together. The Wahoo "Fitness" app should have a strength training option in addition to the others listed. Hopefully they add this in the future.
I really like the heart rate monitor purely for what it does. It stays synced fairly well, not perfectly but fairly well. From the research I did and from talking with friends the chest wrap heart rate monitor is the best, most accurate. The only issue I have is figuring out what to do with it. I have the runfit app on my phone and I use it while I work out to track my heart rate but then what? I thought the app or the hrm itself would be telling me what to do to improve my workouts or beeping if my hr got too high but none of that is happening. I assume it's on me to research and learn more though... I took the fitness test and once it knows what your hr zones are I can at least try to stay in the appropriate zones when I work out. There are some prebuilt workouts on the app but I've yet to try them.
This is why I'm a long time fan of Wahoo because of products like this.
Bought this in January 2018 an have loved having it! It tracks my workouts so I do t have to have my phone connected when I run! I also love the RunFit app, tracks my runs and gives me a great 7 minute workout!
Tooka while to get it to pair with my phone - now works well for indoor spinning and outdoor road cycling but I am unable to get it to work for running or the wahoo workout
I purchased it mainly to use with my KICKR trainer on Zwift but as it turns out, it works very well with other apps and devices, including Garmin Fenix 5 watch. It is also one of the HR monitors recommended by EliteHRV and it works great with it.

Dixie and Ron Hitchler were oh-so-close to bailing on the rest of the Broncos' season. The couple from Littleton, season-ticket holders for 12 years, said they were disenchanted and seriously contemplated giving away their prime seats in the first and second row in the South Stands at Invesco Field at Mile High.
Tim Tebow brought them back.
The Hitchlers dug the orange gear out of the closet and made their plans for game day as soon as they learned Tebow would be the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans.
"We're very excited about him. We felt like in the last game, even though they didn't win, he brought a lot of enthusiasm, and we needed to bring that back here," Dixie Hitchler said. "Everyone's ready for some magic to come back to Mile High."
This has been a rough year to be a Broncos fan, what with only two previous home victories and a bunch of brutal home losses, none worse than the 59-14 loss to Oakland two months ago. The last time the Broncos played in Denver, they left the field to a chorus of boos after losing to the St. Louis Rams. Coach Josh McDan-iels was fired a week later, after the first of three consecutive road losses.
Tebow, though, represented a glimmer of hope, not just to the Hitchlers but to scores of other Denver fans who wore their No. 15 jerseys to the stadium Sunday.
Clare Foote, a longtime season-ticket holder from Fort Collins, bought three navy blue Tebow jerseys as soon as they went on sale — one for her, one for her granddaughter and one for her friend Fran VanEron, who has accompanied her to Broncos games for nearly 30 years. They were at the old Mile High Stadium together for John Elway's first NFL start, and they have similar hopes for Tebow.
"He's a leader," Foote said. "He's going to be like Elway."
A household name
Sunday, though, was the first chance for season-ticket holders to really see Tebow live.
The rookie from Florida played only a quarter and a half of exhibition football in August. He sat out one game to let his bruised ribs heal. Fans cheered him as he scored three touchdowns here in his special duty earlier this season, but they had never seen him actually play quarterback.
His first start last week against Oakland had fans curious as to what Tebow could do at home, but Tebow hadn't won over everyone. Tebow's play, and his future in Denver, had divided the Stevenson household in Greeley, with the mom, Alice, firmly in Tebow's corner and her grown son Brian wishing the team would have stuck with veteran Kyle Orton or gotten into position to draft Stanford star Andrew Luck in April.
What they could agree on, though, was that at least Tebow was intriguing.
"He brings some fire, and he's been a winner," Brian Stevenson said. "It's just such a huge stage."
Certainly, there was an element of business sense when the team announced Tebow as the starter last Monday, and again Sunday afternoon when the team presented the offense during pregame introductions.
Tebow, of course, was saved for last, and he jogged out of the tunnel to the loudest cheers of the season.
Well, they were the loudest until the fourth quarter, at least.
Fans here have chanted "Tebow, Tebow, Tebow" several times this season, but always when the Broncos (playing with Orton at QB) were losing. The chants were back as Tebow led the Broncos to 24 second-half points, and never louder than during the Broncos' game-winning drive.
As Tebow tucked the ball under his arm and scrambled away from a Texans defensive player, the fans in the South Stands rose and screamed.
"Go, Tebow, go!" they said, exploding when Tebow scored on a 6-yard run to tie the game at 23. Steven Hauschka's extra point gave the Broncos their first lead of the game with 3:02 remaining.
The chants of his last name resumed when Tebow brought the offense back onto the field after an interception by Syd'Quan Thompson.
When the game was over, Tebow headed over to those fans and slapped a few high-fives and handed a young boy his towel before disappearing into the tunnel.
"He has youth and has respect for the game," VanEron said. "He's motivated the fans that are here."
Noticing the noise
Denver players said the fourth quarter was the loudest and most energized the crowd at Invesco Field has been in years, perhaps since the team's victory against San Diego in September 2008.
"The adrenaline high, and the crowd and the come- from-behind win, it was a lot of fun," Tebow said. "My first time to be able to play at Mile High, and the way the fans were supporting us and behind us the whole game, and to be able to come from . . . I think we were down 17-0 . . . to win the game was pretty cool."

For the seventh consecutive year, farmers around the world continued to plant biotech crops at a double-digit pace, with the 2003 total up 15% to 167.2 million acres, according to a Results from (ISAAA).
The increase includes an estimated 7.41 million acres of biotech soybeans in Brazil, which approved planting of biotech soybeans for the first time in 2003. The report states that the final planted area in Brazil could be significantly higher.
Almost one-third of the global biotech crop area was grown in developing countries, up from one-quarter last year. Six countries are responsible for 99% of the global biotech crop area, up from four countries in 2002. Brazil and South Africa joined the United States, Argentina, Canada and China as the leading growers of biotech crops. China and South Africa experienced the greatest annual increase, with both countries planting one-third more biotech acres than in 2002. In the United States, biotech crop acreage grew 10% due to gains in biotech corn and soybeans.

An estimated 2 billion cubic feet of gas is flared daily in Nigeria. This puts Nigeria among the world's largest sources of carbon emissions. The enigma of gas flaring in Nigeria dates back to the 1960s. Some of the factors responsible for flaring are: poor re-injection facilities on ground, and inability to store excess gas (which is useful for community projects). Gas flaring is dangerous in any environment. It is harmful to health, livelihood, the adjacent vegetation and is a major contributing factor to the global warming crises.
The Niger Delta region serves as the main hub for oil and gas production in Nigeria. It is located in the southern part of Nigeria. I was privileged to do my undergraduate industrial training (internship)with an indigenous oil servicing company in Nigeria for 6 months in 2011. The company is a sub-contractor to a major oil and gas company. My field/work location was a gas plant in the Niger Delta. The gas plant processes gas, generates electricity for its operation, and the surrounding community.
I went to work on a Monday morning, and one of my superiors told me that there was a major electrical fault in the gas plant the previous weekend. All the generators, gas turbines, gas compressors, and utilities (e.g. AC electric motors) in the gas plant tripped off as a result of the fault. There was a general power failure in the gas plant and the surrounding environment. He told me that during the pandemonium, there was a sudden loud noise (a bang) in the gas plant, the flame from the flare stacks increased (Flare Stack: - an elevated vertical conveyance used to eliminate waste gas not feasible for use or transport. The gas is burned into the atmosphere as it leaves the flare stack.), and the temperature of the gas plant environment became high. He explained further that at the moment of the incidence, all the generators, gas turbines, gas compressors, and utilities had shut down, and so the gas for their operation had to be flared, along with excess gas being flared due to general over-pressure.Prior to this incidence, excess gas was flared everyday in the gas plant through more than three flare stacks.
As an electrical and electronics engineering student, I never understood what gas flaring meant until I witnessed it during my industrial training. This experience has raised my awareness of gas flaring in Nigeria and has given me a better understanding.
Electricity is paramount to human and economic development. It is rather unfortunate that all my life, I have been a victim of unstable power supply at home, and in school. Nigeria has an installed generating capacity of about 5,900 megawatts of electricity but 51 years after independence, we struggle to generate between 4000-4500 megawatts for a population above 150 million while our African counterpart South Africa, generates more than 40,000 megawatts for a population less than 50 million.
Natural gas is a source of energy and can be used for power generation. This is why I am surprised at the continued gas flaring in Nigeria, when the gas could be, or should have been over the years, refined and conveyed into more power generation stations, in addition to the existing ones thereby helping to reduce the flaring, carbon dioxide emissions and generate more power for the growing population.
If at all gas flaring needs to be done, it should be done in a logical and economical way that will have an overall positive impact. A flare stack in a gas plant or power generation facility can be designed or built in such a way that, the flame from the flare will serve as a direct source of heat to a boiler containing water, which will release high pressure steam from the boiler into a steam turbine. The steam turbine could be used to generate electricity for the facility or a host community. Hence, natural gas can be used judiciously in a basic fossil fuel power system e.g. thermal power plants or gas-fired power plants.
In addition to making the flame from the gas flare a useful resource, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)technology should be applied to stationary large single-source emitters of carbon dioxide such as gas-fired power plants. This technology will help capture, compress, and store carbon dioxide in underground reservoirs. This will help keep the environment clean and green. The environment is our future and we must protect it.
Currently, oil and gas companies in Nigeria, are working hard to bring about the drastic reduction of gas flaring in the country. At the moment, a gas-to-liquid plant which will refine, and ensure proper utilization of natural gas is more than 70 percent complete, and will start operation in 2013. Contracts have been awarded to build Associated Gas Gathering (AGG) infrastructures that will gather associated gas (Associated Gas: - is a form of natural gas, commonly found in petroleum deposits.)currently being flared, and use the gas appropriately in the domestic market.
I commend the present administration for its effort in resolving the electric power crises. Gas-to- power projects are being initiated to tackle present and future demands from power generation plants. Hopefully, an additional 4,770 megawatts of electricity will be generated by December 2013, through new and existing National Integrated Power Project (NIPP) facilities. Also, Independent Power Producers (IPP's)like Chevron Nigeria Limited, and Shell Petroleum Development Company, will help to generate an additional 6,000 megawatts by 2014.
During my industrial training, an Italian engineer told me that Nigeria is the best country in Africa. It baffled me at first but after cogitating on his words, I gained hope in my country. Nigeria is a blessed country. Although she has had her own fair share of challenges and obstacles, it doesn't contrast the fact that she is blessed with great resources and a rich heritage. I believe that with proper planning, visionary and action-oriented leadership, Nigeria can rise through the ranks to become one of the 20 largest economies in the world.
As a new generation leader with a positive mindset, I believe that gas flaring should be reduced and greatly minimized in Nigeria if the right principles and practices are adopted.

Your Area!
Hi, my name is Daniel Cooper,
And I would like to tell you one of my favorite stories I have ever heard…
It's about a man who was at one of the lowest times in his entire life, and the story of how he was able to completely turn his life around.
This man went from being thousands of dollars in debt…
to being able to pay off ALL of his bills -
So, who was this man?
This man was me.
It's true.
I was ashamed of myself… worried that I was going to lose my house… and have to go through the shameful, degrading process of moving my wife and daughters back into my parents basement…
It was a late afternoon and I had just got home from my job as a saw operator, cutting fiberglass for a small factory.
My bank account was negative and I was in debt to multiple credit card companies. I was living beyond my means and could not afford the mortgage for our house anymore.
I felt like a complete failure.
So, I went ahead and started my usual routine of logging on to the internet and searching for ways to make money online.
And, as usual, I was unable to find anything remotely close to a legitimate way to make money from home. I was just about to call it a night and go to sleep…
… when I ran across an article describing something called "Market Research."
I learned that multi-
And one of the ways they do this, is by paying us to take surveys!
I immediately jumped right in and now I am earning $500 -
I couldn't believe it, but this is real money and I am earning a REAL income. My life has completely turned around.
I went from being severely in debt… with a negative bank balance…
…to paying off ALL of my debts, being able to comfortably live a great life, easily pay bills, AND save up more money than I ever have before!
I want you to imagine waking up in the morning and grabbing some coffee...
Then you get on your computer to see what paid surveys are available for you, scroll
through and pick out a couple of high paying surveys (maybe $20 -
Finish these surveys and you've already made some money before you even finished your breakfast!
...Or maybe you're like me, and you have children, so your days are super busy!
Well, once you put the kids down for bed, you can jump on the laptop for about a half an hour, knock out a couple of surveys, and earn some quick cash before you call it a night!
It really is as simple as that!
Check it out. With this Research Panel, all you've got to do is scroll through and pick what survey you would like to take! They actually tell you how much money you'll earn before you even start the survey... it couldn't be any easier!
There is nothing better than being able to succeed while enjoying the comfort and quiet of your very own home. You can complete surveys while you watch tv or listen to music. You could even complete surveys while you are chatting online or talking to friends on facebook.
What's better?
You can even see exactly how much you will be paid BEFORE you take the survey!
Below you will find an ACTUAL screenshot of one of these Research Panels. You just log in, choose the survey, and get paid!
Here is just ONE of the many Research Panels just waiting to pay you:
You may be wondering what kind of surveys you will be taking for cash. Well, let me tell you these are very simple surveys that even a child could complete!
They are only going to ask you questions about your shopping habits, what products you choose, and why you choose those kind of products.
Go ahead and complete our sample survey below to see just how easy it really is!
I have been earning cash day in and day out just by taking simple surveys like the one above!
Simply give your honest opinion, and get paid!

There's a tidal wave of activity happening this week in aquaculture and Marianne Cufone, Executive Director of the Recirculating Farms Coalition, is out in front of the wave. Recirculating farms can sustainably grow fish, vegetables, flowers, fruits, herbs and more, in a mostly self-contained, closed system. Considering the issues that plague our industrial food systems, a stable, safe and flexible means of food production is just what our country needs.
The Recirculating Farms Coalition is a collaborative group of farmers, educators, non-profit organizations and many others committed to building local sources of healthy, accessible food. Through research, education and advocacy, the coalition works together to support the development of energy efficient farms that use clean, recycled water to grow food. The farms can create stable, green jobs in diverse communities nationwide, and someday, worldwide.
Marianne chose to establish the Recirculating Farms Coalition in New Orleans, Louisiana. She recently moved from Brooklyn to New Orleans to launch the coalition and will soon create a model aquaculture farm to demonstrate how easily and effectively recirculating aquaculture can be accomplished.
Before Marianne left for New Orleans, we spoke about aquaculture, hurricanes (spoiler: she lost her home, car and boat to one) and her life. Here's an excerpt from the interview. Click on the audio player at left to hear the entire interview or download a PDF version of the transcript.
You advocate recirculating aquaculture systems as opposed to open ocean systems. Why is that?
There have been a number of concerns associated with raising fish in open water systems, meaning those that are either floating net pens or cages out in the ocean or even in water bodies that are connected to other water bodies, like rivers or lakes. Some of the issues are the pollution that comes from the farms – the cages are opened to the environment. So anything that's used in the cages—like antibiotics or chemicals--flow straight into the other waters. Also there are issues with waste from the cages. All of that results in some environmental problems.
Additionally there are issues of conflict of use. If you put some big, floating cages out in the ocean, other users--like divers, swimmers, boaters and fisherman--now have to get around these cages and in some instances, they're prevented from being near those cages - some of the farms have buffer zones around them. And so these private uses overtake public access and that's a real problem as well.
Isn't there also a problem with the fish escaping from the pens?
Absolutely. Escapement is another huge issue. Farmed fish are often fairly different from wild fish. Even if you're growing similar species that are in the surrounding waters, they're usually bred to be quicker growing, larger because they're for profit. So when these fish escape, sometimes they have revved up metabolisms and eat more than their fair share and can out compete wild fish or intermix with wild fish and change their genetic characteristics. So it can be a really big issue.
What is a typical recirculating farm product and how would I go about finding those products? What kind of fish are grown?
Well, it's really challenging right now, which is part of the reason this organization is forming. One of the things we're hoping to do is put a map up on a website where people can go and find their local recirculating farm and be able to purchase products from them, either at farmer's markets or directly from the growers.
There is a whole variety of fish going on right now. I've seen Sea Bass, Tilapia, shellfish--clams, mussels, oysters, shrimps—salmon is under experimentation. There's been an amazing, growing list of products coming from these systems.
Why did you choose New Orleans to base the organization out of?
New Orleans is just an amazing place. It's got a character all it's own. In recent times it's had some really difficult problems. First, it was battered by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Then last year there was that catastrophic oil spill. So the area's been really challenged with having fresh food and stable jobs. One of the hopes is that a demonstration project there could really empower the community to get some stable, green jobs in place and for people to be able to provide their own food. The loss of the Gulf of Mexico to fishing for a really long time caused some major heartache down there—it's one of the major sources of employment and food - the Gulf of Mexico. We're hoping that, in introducing systems like this, there might be a really great boost to both the economy and the folks in New Orleans.

It didn't take me very long, after I arrived in Charlotte, N.C., to get a bit frustrated with the leaders of that city's powerful African-American churches. The churches were doing all kinds of interesting things. The problem was that I only heard about them in the past tense, from people talking about events after they had taken place. I was sincerely interested in what these churches had to say about -- to name one example -- the lives of black men and how these lives were reflected in media. I was interested in the forces that were shaping black families and how churches were struggling to help.
Finally, I started making the rounds and meeting with these pastors and -- here was the key -- asking them if they would add me to the mailing list for their weekly church bulletins. That way, I could look for interesting events in the church calendars ahead of time.
However, it didn't take me long to hear one consistent complaint over and over again.
Most of these African-American pastors -- it didn't matter if they were Pentecostal, Baptist, Catholic or mainline Protestant -- said that there was one simple reason that they had given up calling local newsrooms about events in their congregations. No matter what they did, any journalists who happened to show up were only going to cover the parts of these events, even worship services, that had to do with politics.
Politics. That's all that the black church is about to most journalists, said one pastor. No matter what African-American believers say or do when it comes to faith issues, everything always comes out as politics.
Years later, in Denver, I turned in a feature photo assignment for an Ash Wednesday service at a high-church Episcopal parish that was predominately African-American. The priest later called me in amazement. It was the first time he had ever been photographed, he said, in a worship service, while acting as a priest (as opposed to when he was speaking in public, political settings). He called to say "thank you."
I thought about those old Godbeat lessons when I picked up my copy of The Baltimore Sun this morning and read the A1 story about local reactions to the death of Trayvon Martin, the Florida teen-ager who was killed while walking through a gated community. Here's the top of that story:
It was "Hoodie Sunday" at the Empowerment Temple in Northwest Baltimore -- and at churches elsewhere in Baltimore and across the nation.
Throughout the morning, several hundred parishioners at the African Methodist Episcopal church arrived wearing black, blue or gray hoodies to show their solidarity with Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old African-American who was gunned down in Florida on Feb. 26 while walking through a gated community. He was shot by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who had called 911 about Martin's presence in the area.
The Martin case has burst open racial frustrations across the nation and galvanized many black church leaders.
At Baltimore's Empowerment Temple, dozens of black youngsters between the ages of 12 and 17 were invited to stand in front of the altar, where Pastor Jamal-Harrison Bryant -- wearing a hoodie that said "No justice no peace" -- delivered a sermon to roughly 2,000 people.
There was, you see, a sermon. However, the sermon seemed to have little to do with religion or faith. The story focused on details of the case that have -- with good cause -- been covered over and over in the mainstream press. The service undoubtedly included faith language, biblical images, hymns and other religious themes that were linked to this infuriating event. However, an A1 story in the Sun is not the place to look for that kind of new material, those new insights.
What about the Baptists in town?
At Rising Sun First Baptist Church in Woodlawn Sunday, Pastor Emmett C. Burns Jr. wore a hoodie even as many of his congregants turned out in their Sunday best. Pastor Burns spoke at a prayer vigil for Martin during the mid-morning service. Congregants clapped, nodded and called out "amen" during his 12-minute speech.
There was a prayer vigil in the middle of a worship service? I'm not sure what that means, since prayer vigils are usually 12- to 24-hour events that last all day or through an entire night, dusk to dawn. Maybe the people simply did a lot of praying and the reporter was not sure what was going on.
And what did the pastor and his people say during this lengthy period of prayer?
Burns, a member of the Maryland House of Delegates, said House members were expected to wear hoodies on the floor Monday to show solidarity with Martin. "When will it end? It will not end until we stand together," Burns said. "I've never seen a movement like this all over the nation, where whites and blacks are wearing hoodies. Go buy a hoodie."
After his message, Burns led the congregation in singing "We Shall Overcome."
In closing, Burns said: "We ask for justice in the case of Trayvon. Comfort, comfort be with his parents who have lost a child strictly based on his race."
Now, it does appear that this final statement -- "we ask" -- is addressed to God. Thus, at least one piece of prayer made it into the story. Otherwise, this story is just another example of what happens when journalists cover worship services as if they were political rallies. What did these pastors have to say about justice, in terms of biblical truth? What appeals did they make to God, as well as to politicians?
Read it all. What did I miss?

European drug maker Shire (NASDAQ:SHPG) reached a $4.2 billion deal on Monday to acquire U.S. rare disease drug maker ViroPharma (NASDAQ:VPHM).
Continue Reading Below
The deal would give Shire the ability to expand ViroPharma's cinryze treatment, which is used to fight immune disorder hereditary angioedema.
Shire agreed to pay $50 per share for ViroPharma, which represents a 27% premium on the company's Friday close of $39.38. The price tag also represents a 64% premium to ViroPharma's share price of $30.47 on September 12, the last day before rumors of a deal drove it sharply higher.
"The acquisition of ViroPharma will immediately benefit Shire and is entirely consistent with our clear strategic objective of strengthening our rare disease portfolio. It brings us a new growth driving product which augments our already strong growth prospects," Shire CEO Flemming Ornskov said in a statement.
Based in Exton, Pa., ViroPharma generated 2012 global sales of $428 million and is projected to increase sales this year to $445 million to $465 million.
The drug maker's cinryze treatment is used to fight hereditary angioedema, which is a rare genetic disease that hits patients with recurrent sudden attacks of swelling of the skin or the mucous membrane that can be disfiguring, painful and life threatening. ViroPharma projected 2013 sales of cinryze of $395 million to $405 million in North America.
"By joining with Shire, ViroPharma will become part of a larger, more diverse biopharmaceutical company and will benefit from Shire's innovation, scale and global reach," said ViroPharma CEO Vincent Milano.
The companies expect the transaction to generate annual cost synergies of about $150 million by 2015. Shire said the deal will also immediately add to its non-GAAP profits following completion.
Shire said it plans to pay for the deal with cash on its balance sheet and new and existing bank facilities.
The deal is expected to close during the fourth quarter of this year or the first quarter of 2014, pending anti-trust clearance.
Shares of ViroPharma soared 25.39% to $49.39 in premarket action on Monday, trading just below the $50 offer price.
Lazard (NYSE:LAZ) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) advised Shire, while ViroPharma was advised by Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS).

Water Heater Leak in Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania
Are you experiencing water damage from a leaking water heater in Conneaut Lake Pennsylvania? Water heater leaks frequently occur without warning, causing a water damage emergency for Conneaut Lake homeowners and businesses. If you are experiencing a leaking hot water system now, or have had a leak within the past 24 hours, it is crucial to contact a dry out professional such as Ranger Recovery & Restoration, LLC as soon as possible to contain the damage and dry out all affected areas quickly to avoid costly restoration expenses. Sitting water and even moisture collecting in dark places, such as within your ceilings or behind walls is a breeding ground for mildew and mold. Ranger Recovery & Restoration, LLC is a Conneaut Lake dry out services specialist with a crew on call to handle your water heater emergency.
Immediate Water Heater Leak Remediation
Why Do Conneaut Lake Water Heaters Burst?
There are three main causes of water heaters breaking; build up of sediment, corrosion in the tank, and too much pressure. The latter is the reason most customers in Conneaut Lake call for a burst hot water heater. Properly running water heaters have a relief valve that opens when pressure begins to build. However, tanks wear down over the years and components can become faulty. If more pressure builds than the tank can handle, the hot water heater could burst or "explode". Regular HVAC maintenance should be performed, but if you have an emergency with a leaking water heater in Conneaut Lake, call the water damage pros at (330) 892-7070 for immediate assistance.
What to Do if Your Hot Water Heater in Conneaut Lake Leaks
- Quickly turn off the water supply from the valve located on your water heater to prevent further water damage
- Use caution - Your system may be hot. Open the pressure relief valve to release any pressure in the system
- Rinse with cold water to quickly get water temperatures down
- Call (330) 892-7070 and have Ranger Recovery & Restoration, LLC assess the water damage and begin the drying out process
What If I Have Water Dripping From My Ceiling in Conneaut Lake?
If water is pooling overhead and dripping down through your ceiling or seams in the walls, call Ranger Recovery & Restoration, LLC immediately to begin the process of drying out all affected areas. We will work to keep water damage to a minimum. If large quantities of water have leaked from your water heater, we may need to expose walls or floorboards to fully dry the interior structures of your home. The benefits of drying all surfaces immediately are the prevention of mildew and dangerous mold growth, and prevention of costly water damage. Ranger Recovery & Restoration, LLC has worked in dozens of homes and businesses in Conneaut Lake that had water heater rupture or leaks for more than 2 years. There is a crew standing by to help you too. Simply call (330) 892-7070 for immediate action.

Hellickson close, not quite ready for return
ST. PETERSBURG -- Jeremy Hellickson appears headed for at least one more rehab start, according to what the right-hander told reporters after Wednesday's 2-0 Rays loss to the Orioles.
"I think I've got one more," Hellickson said. "... They haven't told me anything. ... I kind of assumed."View Full Game Coverage
ST. PETERSBURG -- Jeremy Hellickson appears headed for at least one more rehab start, according to what the right-hander told reporters after Wednesday's 2-0 Rays loss to the Orioles.
"I think I've got one more," Hellickson said. "... They haven't told me anything. ... I kind of assumed."View Full Game Coverage
Nothing definite has been announced yet, but Rays manager Joe Maddon echoed the idea of at least one more rehab start. When asked if Hellickson was ready to return to the Rays' rotation, Maddon replied: "Not yet. I mean, that's what I'm hearing, he's not quite ready yet."
The follow-up question was whether Hellickson would make a fourth rehab start, to which Maddon answered: "Likely that he will." Hellickson, who is in the home stretch from January right elbow surgery, made his third rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Durham at Louisville (Reds) and allowed seven runs on 12 hits in 2 2/3 innings.
"I think my fastball location's not bad," Hellickson said. "Changeup's not where I want it right now. Just not really executing much of anything right now. The main thing is I felt good after all three of [his rehab starts]."
Hellickson said he wasn't reading anything more into his performance.
"I know everybody else is," Hellickson said. "For me, it's just get my work in and just come out feeling good the next day. Obviously it's nice to execute and pitch well and not do what I've done. But at the same time, I feel fine and that's really all that matters to me right now."
Maddon did not seem too concerned about Hellickson's results, either.
"Obviously he did get hit around a little bit," Maddon said. "That's primarily what I heard. I just wanted to know at what level he threw velocity-wise, indicating the strength of his arm, it sounds like it's there.
"Obviously he's not pitched in a while coming off surgery, so I'm not really that bent out of shape about performance yet. That's still forthcoming. So it sounds like his arm is well. When he's able to throw 92 [mph], that's probably top end for him, normally. So that means his arm is feeling strong again."
While Hellickson is feeling well, he knows he needs a little tweaking.
"The velo's fine," Hellickson said. "The velo's there, but there's not that extra life at the end. And then the changeup's not very good right now, either. That's pretty much what I rely on, fastball location and changeup.
"I guess the positive to it is my curveball feels really good. And I am throwing my fastball where I want. It's just kind of tired right now. But no pain."
Maddon noted that the decision for when Hellickson will return to the rotation would be a group one, but he said he would have to hear a combination of things for him to give his thumbs-up.
"The big thing there is his ability to throw his pitches where he wants to," Maddon said. "I think overall command hasn't been that great. The velocity's been there. I talked to him the other day when he was here and he did not feel like he knew where the ball was going all the time. And I think that's just the residue of not having pitched in a bit.
"But health-wise he's starting to feel pretty good. This is one of those moments where you have to truly be patient when a guy is coming back from surgery like this. As long as he's feeling well and we're starting to see progress in regard to arm strength."
Hellickson had his own idea about what he needs to do to be ready to again face Major League hitters.
"I need to get through four or five innings," he said. "Other than that, I don't know. Execute better than I have the last two games. Just start getting people out."
Hellickson is close, so Maddon allowed there is no reason to rush the right-hander at this point.
"Just make sure that everything is well," Maddon said. "I think the next step is that he knows exactly where his pitches are going because that's what he's all about. He needs to know command-wise where the ball is going. And I don't think he's quite there yet."
If Hellickson makes his next rehab start as expected -- rather than returning to the Rays -- he will start on Sunday, which is the same day Erik Bedard is scheduled to pitch for the Rays. The Rays have not tipped their hand as to who will be moved out of the rotation once Hellickson returns.
