BOSTON – The UMBC women's distance medley relay team of junior Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South Carroll), freshman Essence Fredericks (Baltimore, Md./Carver Center), sophomore Sarah Daly (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion), and freshman Angel Bucci (Upper Darby, Pa./Upper Darby) reset its own school record as the Retriever track and field teams competed at the ECAC and IC4A Championships, Sunday at the Boston University Track and Field Pavilion.
The squad reset its own record to a new time of 12:04.24 while taking 18th in the competition. The foursome had previously clipped the mark down to 12:05.78 at the America East Championships from a record set in 2002 (12:19.05).
In the sprints, America East Most Outstanding Female Track Athlete Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) captured a bronze medal in the 60m dash with a final's time of 7.48. Jackson will now wait to see if her season-best time of 7.34 is good enough to make it to the NCAA Championships to be held Mar. 8-9 at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. The sophomore standout currently ranks tied for 15th in the nation.
For the men, senior Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) advanced to the event finals in the 60m dash with a personal-best time of 6.86 to move into sole possession of fourth place in the UMBC record book. He then took ninth in the finals running a 6.91.
Hurdler Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) also advanced to the finals, finishing in fifth place with a time of 7.96. Earlier this season, Proctor became the first Retriever to break the eight-second barrier in the event and holds the school record with a time of 7.87.
In the shot put, senior Amanda Deller (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen), a four-time indoor shot champion in the America East, placed fourth at the ECAC meet. The team captain recorded a toss of 14.68m (48'2.00), just an inch shy of the third-place finisher. Junior Yao Adantor (Laurel, Md./Reservoir/Morgan St./Maryland) took 15th in the men's competition with a heave of 15.79m (51'9.00"). Adantor broke the UMBC school record earlier this season by registering a heave of 16.50m (54'1.75") at the America East Championships.
Back on the track, freshman Andrew Keresztes (Port Jefferson, N.Y./Port Jefferson) and junior Kirsten Jones (Brentwood, Tenn./M.L.K. Magnet) competed in the finals for the 1,000m run and 200m dash, respectively. Keresztes finished eighth (2:34.46) in the 1K while Jones placed ninth (25.10) in the sprint.
A day after setting a new school record, the women's 4x400 relay team of Paulette Fogle (Washington, D.C./Bishop McNamara), sophomore Kalane' Abbey (Laurel, Md./Laurel), D'Nique Phillip (Elkton, Md.) and Jones finished eighth in the finals.

When potentially all can be very good. Lets see what happens..
And Matteh it was Pannesar's batting I was knocking. I hope it improves.
Tendulkar = the most overated player EVER!!
Beckham = the most overated footballer EVER!!
Vassell = the biggest disgrace since rikki clarke!!
Erratic=expensive=struggles to bowl to a plan. Yes we all know that Sajid Mahmood isnt very accurate, and yes we all know that hes a bad bowler at the moment, but that doesnt in anyway mean that he doesnt have potential.
At the end of the day for all Duncans faults, it was the selectors who made Freddie captain, it was the selectors who continue to persist with Fletcher as coach, it was the selectors who picked Plunkett and Jones in the side, and presumably it was the selectors and the rest of the England management that decided to let Troy Cooley go.
They are very different really. Harmison's main weapon is his bounce and carry, while Mahmood's main weapon is his movement. Extremely different bowlers - the fact they are the same height and bowl at a same pace does not make them similar. As for Mahmood bowling full sparingly.. that's only because he has no accuracy as far as I'm concerned. He often seems to be focusing on a full length of attack and just gets it wrong.Originally Posted by aussie

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – MIT generated over 400 yards of offense, but could only come up with a pair of touchdowns as the Engineers fell at Western New England by a 36-14 score. The Golden Bears out gained MIT by just 28 yards, but its defense came up with four interceptions and stopped four other drives on fourth down plays as they came away with the win. Sophomore quarterback Peter Williams (Portland, Ore.) ran for 107 yards and threw for 217 more for the Engineers, who had their two-game win streak snapped.
MIT surprised Western New England with the first score of the game. Facing fourth and one on its own 23, Williams tucked it away and went for the first down. He picked up the first down and much more as he kept going all the way to the WNE end zone for the 77-yard score. The Golden Bears responded on their next drive, however, driving 39 yards in eight plays to get on the board with a 29-yard field goal by Nick Fox-Edele with 7:07 left in the first.
Both teams had their next drives falter, with MIT (3-3, 2-3 NEFC) getting stopped on fourth and one and Western New England (4-3, 2-2 NEFC) missing on a 38-yard field goal attempt. Williams then threw interceptions on each of the next two MIT possessions, and the second proved costly. After tossing a 25-yard strike to sophomore Brad Goldsberry (Elizabeth, Colo.) that took the ball deep into WNE territory, Williams was intercepted on the next play by Philip Tsopanides who returned it to the WNE 25. From there the Golden Bears drove for the go-ahead score, driving the 75 yards in 12 plays to grab the lead on a two-yard run by Kevin Cook.
MIT could only come up with 22 yards of offense the rest of the half, while Western New England picked up a key 31-yard completion from John Krafick to Dan LaNoir that led to a three-yard TD run by Tucker Schmuitz with 1:02 left to make it 16-7 at the half.
In the third quarter MIT drove into Western New England territory three times only to see each drive halted with no points. The first was stopped on another interception, with the other two getting stopped on fourth down plays, including a fourth and four on the WNE 17. On the ensuing Golden Bear drive Krafick hit Rob Cannata with a 50-yard pass that set up a one-yard plunge by Krafick on the next play to make it 22-7 with 2:20 left in the third.
Western New England added a five-yard TD toss from Krafick to Mike Uszakiewicz on its first drive of the fourth quarter as the Golden Bears extended their lead to 29-7 with 10:13 left. With five and a half minutes left in the game Western New England's Kevin Degnan snared another Williams pass for the fourth pick of the day for the Golden Bears. WNE turned the miscue into points as Krafick tossed his second TD pass of the day, this one six yards to Andrew Walz with 1:56 left to seal the win for WNE.
A 26-yard return by Goldsberry on the ensuing kickoff set up the final Engineer score of the day. Williams hit back-to-back tosses of 36 and 32 yards to freshman Samuel Inman (Stillwell, Okla.), with the second resulting in the score with 1:17 left for the final points of the day.
Goldsberry wound up with 51 yards rushing, 88 receiving and 99 in returns for 238 all-purpose yards, the second time this season he has gone over the 200-yard mark. Inman caught six passes for a team-high 107 yards and one score. Cook finished with 116 yards on the ground for Western New England, with Krafick completing 20 of his 24 attempts for 186 yards and two scores. On defense junior Jake Laux (Dousman, Wis.) had an outstanding game for the Engineers, finishing with 19 stops, 2.5 of which were for a loss. Junior Matt Merlino (Vancouver, Wash.) had 17 tackles and pair of passes broken up, with sophomore Cameron Wagar (West Richland, Wash.) adding 14 tackles for MIT.
MIT will return home for its final home game of the season with its second Friday night game of the season next week, hosting the top team in the NEFC, Salve Regina, at 7:00 p.m. on October 19. Western New England will play at Plymouth State on October 20 at 1:00 p.m.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today said that if he is re-elected, he would not accept a salary increase if one is approved by the City Council. A salary review committee recently recommended that the salary of the position be increased from $74,909 to $100,000 over the next few years. The Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing and vote on the recommendation September 20.
The salary of the Mayor was last increased in 2001. Beutler urged the City Council to "consider what needs to be done to ensure good people are able to serve as Mayor." If the Council approves a salary increase and he is re-elected in May, Beutler said he would ask the Finance Department to leave the amount of the increase out of his paycheck or donate the amount of the increase to the Lincoln Parks Foundation.
"The salary I receive for being Mayor is not what motivates me," Beutler said. "Part of being a public servant is putting the needs of the community above the needs of the individual. By not accepting a raise, I can guide the focus of this discussion back where it belongs: what is best for Lincoln's future."
The Mayor acknowledged that the salary review comes during difficult budget times. The City Charter allows a narrow time frame only once every four years for a review of the salary review of the Mayor and City Council. Changes do not take effect until after the City election the following May.
The Mayor asked the members of the existing Lancaster County Salary Review Committee to conduct the review along with former City Council member Linda Wilson and former City Council member and Mayor Dale Young. The committee recommended no salary increase for members of the City Council.
"The committee is a public spirited group, comprised of people with conservative values who are widely respected across the community," Beutler said. "Committee members knew their decision would be unpopular. But their integrity would not allow them to settle for the sake of political expediency. It takes truly honorable people to stand by their principles in the face of controversy."

On Wednesday, November 25, 1998, Julie Jensen volunteered to help out in her son's third-grade classroom in Kenosha, Wisconsin. While she was there, she confided in her son's teacher; she feared that her husband was attempting to poison her, in part due to his Internet search habits.
"She had found a paper listing things to buy in her husband's stuff," the teacher, Theresa DeFazio, told investigators. "She said it listed syringes and names of drugs on it. Then she said that she thought he might try to kill her with a drug overdose and make it look like a suicide... One other time she had mentioned that it bothered her how every time she walked into the room when her husband was on the computer, he always turned it off or covered it quickly. She asked him why once, but he said he was doing business stuff, and he was done."
Around the same time, Julie confided similar concerns to her next-door neighbor, Tadeusz Wojt.
"I saw Julie, and she stated to me that she was afraid that [her husband] Mark was putting poison in her food or drink, and she did not eat all weekend," he told investigators. "Julie was shaking and crying. She was in bad shape Julie also stated Mark would call up things on the Internet about poisoning on the Internet, and he would leave it on the screen for her to see. Some of the things were undetected poisoning that was on the computer." Julie also left a note with Wojt to be turned over to the police in the event of her death.
On December 3, two police officers responded to a distress call at the Jensen home. They found the husband, Mark, in the kitchen. He pointed them down a hallway to a bedroom where the police found Julie's body, lying facedown on the bed "with her face partially buried in a pillow."
Toxicology reports would later determine that Julie had died from ingesting large quantities of ethylene glycol, the key ingredient in antifreeze. And she hadn't done it just once, as one might expect if this were a suicide; toxicology reports found that the ethylene glycol had been consumed multiple times and had formed oxalic acid crystals in her kidneys. Initial lab work suggested that "there were at least two doses of ethylene glycol," including "an acute ingestion at or near the time of death."
It could not have been a pleasant way to go. Mark Jensen told a detective who arrived to search the scene that day that his wife Julie "could hardly sit up when she awoke at 7:30am on the morning of December 3, that she "was not able to get out of bed," and she "was not able to move around and function." Rather than calling an ambulance, Mark Jensen propped his wife up in bed and then did something that looked odd—he went to his computer and searched the Internet for "ethylene glycol poisoning" at 7:40am.
Within the next hour, he left to take their son to preschool, but not before (in the court's words) "double deleting" his Internet history that morning. By 4:35pm, Julie was dead, with a concentration of ethylene glycol in her stomach that suggested ingestion within the previous 12 hours.
An interest in antifreeze
The case startled Kenosha, a working-class town where I spent my own high school years, but it wasn't a simple one to prosecute. Julie had a history of depression; she had once had an affair that her husband could never forgive; Mark placed penis-oriented pornographic photos around the home, which Julie seemed to think came from her ex-lover (the police had apparently been called about prowlers); Mark had started an affair of his own and planned to clean up the "details" of his life to be with another woman.
When it became clear that Mark was a suspect, Jensen's relatives started a website devoted to his innocence, one that claimed Julie came from a family with a history of both depression and suicide attempts. In their view, most of the evidence in the case had been carefully planted in advance by Julie, who hoped to frame her husband for attempted murder. In this account, Julie was the one who took the antifreeze, but she never intended to die; she intended to "call 911 and be revived." The family took particular issue with the note left with Wojt, which they construed as the main evidence against Mark, and which was simply another plant by Julie.
But the authorities didn't buy this explanation. Four years after Julie's death, in 2002, the local district attorney filed a first-degree intentional homicide charge against Mark Jensen, and that initial complaint drew heavily on what was still novel in 1998: the use of an Internet search history to establish guilt.

Steve Ballmer's Mixed Legacy
Gates's Successor Helped Build Behemoth, but Missteps Leave Microsoft Vulnerable
Microsoft Corp.'s Steve Ballmer tried new operating systems, new gadgets and new management structures. But the times caught up with a man who helped build one of the greatest companies of the 20th century.
Mr. Ballmer's surprise retirement announcement Friday follows years of criticism about the waning growth and stagnant stock price of Microsoft, a force in the personal-computer era whose power was once so great that U.S. regulators sought to break up the company....

The cupcake was once all innocence: a stub of cake, a swirl of frosting. On a dressy day, adorned with a sprinkle.
It worked the birthday-party circuit for the under-6 crowd. It didn't mind. It was the sidekick, junior, the kid in the pastel pan liner. Not cake, but cakelet, cake-in-a-cup, cupcake.
We know what came next: success, excess, stress. How long can a cupcake endure the spotlight before succumbing to meltdown? Now the glamorous cupcake is considered passe. Been there, bit that.
Not that we mind. We liked the old-fashioned cupcake, short and sweet. We even liked the industrial cupcake — at least its glaze-and-curlicue style, its cream-stuffed construction, if not its plastic-wrapped actuality.
There's something mesmerizing about that smooth dark surface, the white link of loops. It seems like an incantation in sugared cursive. Something like: eat, praise, love.
Now we hear that Hostess, maker of the nostalgia-chic cupcake, has filed for bankruptcy protection. Which gives it a certain life experience that's thoroughly au courant.
Curlicue cupcakes
Makes 24
2 dozen chocolate cupcakes
2 cups marshmallow fluff
Chocolate glaze (recipe follows)
Fit a pastry bag with a wide, plain tip. Fill bag with fluff. Turn a cupcake over, poke with the tip of the pastry bag, and squeeze to fill. Stop when the cupcake bulges ever so slightly. Return cupcake to its upright position. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
Grasp a filled cupcake gently by its sides. Dip head-first into warm glaze. Flip right side up onto a rack and let set. Don't fret over glaze drips. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
When glaze has set, switch to a narrow, plain pastry tip (or simply roll parchment paper into a narrow cone and fill with fluff). Draw linked loops across the cupcake. Let set. Repeat with remaining cupcakes. Enjoy.
Chocolate glaze:
Chop 4 ounces semisweet chocolate and tumble into a medium bowl. Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream to boiling. Pour hot cream over chocolate. Cover with a plate and let stand 5 minutes. Gently whisk smooth. Whisk in 1 tablespoon butter (cut into small bits) and 1 teaspoon cognac (optional).

The owner of the old Lenox Lounge in Harlem has signed a 15-year lease on a new beginning at 333 Lenox Avenue.
The renowned Harlem jazz club, founded in 1939, is set to reopen sometime this summer after owner Alvin Reed was forced to move from the club's neighborhood staple just two blocks away at 288 Lenox Avenue, due to an insurmountable rent increase.
The original location was host to performances by jazz greats including Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane.

Coming up with a unique gift can be a difficult task, especially if you're on a budget. Almost anything customizable these days can cost up to an arm and a leg, but these new silhouette prints by Le Papier Studio are one-of-a-kind and they are affordable. This floral wreath silhouette print is the perfect gift for newlyweds and can be customized in just about every way possible. Vana Chupp, owner and designer of Le Papier, has mastered the art of the silhouette, and it's clear because all of her products are fabulous. We asked Vana a few questions about her work:
The inspiration behind Le Papier Studio was my first born son, Nikolas. I started documenting his milestones by cleverly capturing his personality, emotion, playfulness and essence. I began using silhouettes to tell my own life story. Now that my second born, John is added to the equation, it's a love story that continues to blossom with both of them as my muses.
Creating what I love, seeing it come to fruition and adorned by many.
Two words, "start now!". Often people will ponder and wait for the 'perfect' moment to start their creative business, wasting invaluable time.

For a young John Randle, trash-talking didn't start off as a way of intimidating an opponent or even hyping himself up. It was about simple survival. The former Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle was in only his third year in the league when he found himself across from an opposing lineman who would do anything to rile him. This opponent shoved Randle after one play, stepped on his shoe after another and called him enough names to leave Randle fuming.
It finally reached a point where Randle decided to do some extra studying before facing that player's team a second time. Instead of merely watching film to study his opponent, Randle combed through the press clippings that the Vikings' media relations staff routinely gave players. It was there that he found the ammunition that would turn his mouth into one of the most valuable weapons he had during a Hall of Fame career. "When that guy messed with me the next game, I asked him how he would feel if I came to Houston during the offseason and did the same thing to him," Randle said. "He was shocked by that response. He actually looked at me and said, 'How do you know I live in Houston?' And that's how I got started."
Randle learned the same lesson that day that all players who excel at trash-talking eventually discover. Sometimes size, strength and speed aren't the only true measures of how well an athlete can thrive in the NFL. Mind games can mean just as much, if not more, in that intensely competitive environment. If you can sneak into an opponent's head with a clever combination of words, then you're already one step ahead of the action.
The Super Bowl has seen its fair share of great trash-talkers -- from Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson to Terrell Owens to Joey Porter -- and now it will see how Seattle Seahawks Pro Bowl cornerback Richard Sherman handles that stage in Super Bowl XLVIII. Sherman both captivated and appalled certain segments of the football-watching world in his team's NFC title game win over San Francisco, primarily by taunting 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree in the game's final seconds and then berating Crabtree again during postgame interviews. It wasn't enough for Sherman to win the game. Veteran trash-talkers sensed that Sherman already was laying the groundwork for future battles with Crabtree in the years to come.
The people who aren't routinely exposed to the relentless bluster that can be part of NFL games surely didn't appreciate Sherman's behavior. The ones who thrive with such tactics -- from former players like Chad Johnson and Bart Scott to current stars like Carolina wide receiver Steve Smith and Minnesota defensive end Jared Allen -- saw exactly where he was coming from. "I don't have a problem with his personality," said Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey, whose team will be ready for the verbal jabs of Sherman and his teammates in this year's Super Bowl. "If you don't want somebody to talk, you have to give them a reason not to. That's it. He's probably going to talk anyway but at the same time, he is what he is."
"He's not reinventing anything with what he's doing," said former NFL defensive end Chuck Smith, who was a reputed trash-talker during his nine-year career with the Falcons and Panthers. "People have been talking trash for decades. It's about creating a competitive advantage because the myth in the NFL is that everybody is mentally strong. That really isn't accurate."
There really is only one unwritten rule of trash-talking: You had better have serious game if you're going to do it. As New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck said, "If you talk trash and you're sorry, it doesn't matter." It's also clear that trash-talking in football feels different than it does in other sports, most likely because players who talk trash often are one wrong word away from inciting an all-out brawl. Even though Sherman claims he wasn't goading Crabtree after the Seahawks sealed that contest with an interception by linebacker Malcolm Smith, Crabtree's reaction -- he shoved Sherman's face mask with an open hand -- suggested that things could've gotten physical in a hurry if tempers weren't harnessed.
Most trash-talkers say that is the only aspect of Sherman's behavior that crossed the line, that he shouldn't have patted Crabtree on the butt or gotten in his face in the midst of such an emotional moment. "That's the only thing I had a problem with," said CBS NFL analyst Shannon Sharpe, who also was a Hall of Fame tight end with Denver and Baltimore. "You can talk all you want but don't touch me. But with Sherman, it wasn't so much what he said, it was the reaction on social media. People in sports circles knew him but now he's on CNN, 'Good Morning America,' 'Headline News.' It's like that old adage: People like sausage but they don't want to see how it's made."
Added Randle: "When you talk trash, it can get comical. It can even get serious at times. But when the game ends, you shake hands and it's over."
What most players understand is that trash-talking isn't really about humiliating an opponent. It's about controlling minds, by any means necessary. It's a big mental victory when a guard becomes more concerned with beating up an opposing defensive lineman instead of executing his block. It's exhilarating for a receiver to know a defensive back is more concerned with laying him out than maintaining his coverage responsibilities. And we haven't even mentioned the thrill of coaxing opponents into penalties. The players who talk trash savor all those rewards and they don't waste time getting started.
When outside linebacker Joey Porter played in Pittsburgh from 1999 to 2006, he once walked into his opponents' stretching lines during pregame warm-ups, just so he could let them know exactly how he would dominate them that day. New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, a 6-foot-4, 264-pound chatterbox, tears into opponents from his first carry of the day. As soon as he barrels into a defender, he gets up, utters something like "Imagine how that will feel in the fourth quarter" and continues talking until the game finally ends.
Sharpe was so gifted at trash-talking that he aggravated a Hall of Fame linebacker, Kansas City's Derrick Thomas, into a full-scale meltdown during a Monday night game between the Chiefs and Broncos in 1998. Thomas was penalized for three personal fouls during Denver's final drive in that Broncos win and later received a one-game suspension from his own team. The main reason for that loss of control? Sharpe had memorized the phone number for Thomas' girlfriend and was reciting it one digit at a time at the end of the game. "Not many guys can trash-talk a guy into getting suspended by his own team," Sharpe said. "It was my finest moment."
The type of preparation that Sharpe put into that one game against Kansas City was nothing compared to how Randle approached his craft. At 6-foot-1 and 290 pounds, he believed in using any possible advantage to compensate for his lack of size. He quickly learned that talking could be the easiest way to even the playing field. Part of that lesson came from facing older players who knew how best to irritate an opponent.
Randle said Hall of Fame offensive tackle Jackie Slater once so unnerved him with his trash-talking that Randle felt compelled to spend even more time studying his opponents' personal lives. Randle memorized details about offseason surgeries, personal hobbies, even names of certain family members. "In my fifth year, I was playing against a guy who was pushing and shoving me and telling me about all the crap he was going to do to me," Randle said. "I remembered reading about how he was into cars and had rebuilt an Impala. So I started talking to him about that. It really affected him."
As Randle acknowledged, most trash-talkers know they've reached their goal when they can clearly see the frustration across the field. It might be a quarterback yelling at an offensive lineman to get back into the huddle instead of squabbling at the end of a play. It could a defensive back who wants to take an extra shot at a receiver when a pass is thrown in another direction. "I won't say any names but you know you can get into the heads of certain guys in this league," said Justin Tuck. "Those are the ones we target."
The best trash-talkers don't just choose their targets wisely. They also believe in a high-volume approach to the job. So while they may lock in on one or two players to harass per game, they're always keeping their eyes open for other possible candidates. Size, experience or accomplishments rarely factor into such formulations.
When Chuck Smith played for the Atlanta Falcons, he made a point of aggravating a young offensive tackle for the St. Louis Rams, seven-time Pro Bowler Orlando Pace. Smith's taunting eventually bothered Pace early in his career, so much so that Rams wide receiver Isaac Bruce devoted ample time to trash-talking Smith to defend his teammate. Smith also was on the field toward the end of Atlanta's 1998 NFC Championship Game win over the highly favored Minnesota Vikings. As Vikings kicker Gary Anderson lined up for a field goal that would've sealed that win for Minnesota in regulation, Smith and his teammates reminded him of how much history would swing on that kick. It's impossible to know if Anderson's miss was directly related to that bluster, but Smith doesn't mind taking credit for that today.
Smith is just as candid when talking about other players who wilted when hearing too much smack. "We always knew we could get to [quarterback] Kerry Collins when he played in Carolina at the start of his career," Smith said. "I rolled into his knee once and I told him we'd be coming like that all day. He wouldn't even look at me after that."
There really are only two ways to silence a trash-talker. One is to win. The other is to not engage him. Smith spent years trying to aggravate Hall of Fame offensive tackle Willie Roaf -- they faced off twice a year for seven seasons when Roaf was playing in New Orleans -- and that never worked out. Smith would talk smack after plays. He'd nudge Roaf when he was walking back to the huddle. Every time the stoic Roaf would shrug it off and line up to go right back at his nemesis.
"The only time I talk is when it's in retaliation to something that's been said to me," said Tuck. "Usually it's when somebody says something to one of my teammates. But you really don't see offensive linemen talking that much. Plus, when it's done to me, it doesn't get me out of my game. I tend to play better when somebody is doing it."
One of the subplots of this year's Super Bowl will be how the Broncos' wide receivers deal with the trash-talking that has defined Sherman and his brash teammates in the Seahawks' secondary. Sherman already has dialed back his talking since Seattle's arrival in New Jersey -- "You can't say crazy stuff on a regular basis so I don't think being at the Super Bowl makes it any different," he said during his first news conference -- and the Denver receivers don't seem interested in running their mouths, either.
"We've got to play 60 minutes of football and I think we're pretty humble about it," said Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker. "Not to say or take away from anyone else, but I just think no one on our team really has … that ability. I think you're trying to catch your breath instead of talking because Peyton [Manning] goes so fast. You just get to the line and get ready for the next play."
Still, it's likely that some words -- and glares -- will be exchanged once Sunday arrives. There's simply too much at stake for any gifted trash-talker to stay silent. "Football is an intense game," Randle said. "You get so intense playing it that there really is nothing like it. When you're out there, you see guys become totally different people. It might be hard for some people to see that part of it but it's a tough game. And when you find something you can take advantage of, you do it."

"Prostate cancer is treatable with early detection - local men* are encouraged to attend and bring a friend or family member'
COCOA, FL - Several local healthcare providers are teaming up to provide FREE prostate cancer screening tests at the 10th Annual Men's Health Summit on Saturday, June 11, from 9 am to noon at the Health Sciences Building, Building 20, on the Brevard Community College (BCC) campus at 1519 Clearlake Road in Cocoa.
The event is co-sponsored by Health First, the Brevard Chapter of the NAACP, Parrish Medical Center, Wuesthoff Health System, and Brevard Community College.
The free PSA blood tests and digital rectal exams will be provided along with presentations on prostate cancer risk factors, recommended testing, and treatment methods related to nutrition and exercise.
According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men. Additionally, one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer -though statistics cite a low number of deaths when the disease is detected early. Those at higher risk are recommended to get annual prostate cancer exams, and include:
1) Men over age 50 who have never had a PSA blood test and digital rectal exam
2) Men age 40 or older who have had a close relative (father, brother, or son) diagnosed with prostate cancer before age 65
3) African-American men
*Those currently under the care of a physician for prostate cancer, or who have had surgery to remove the prostate, should not have the PSA blood test or digital rectal exam at this event. Instead, they are encouraged to bring a friend or family member who has not been tested before.
Co-sponsored by the Brevard Chapter of the NAACP, Health First, Parrish Medical Center, Wuesthoff Health System, and Brevard Community College, the Men's Health Summit is open to all residents of Brevard.
Screenings are performed on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, contact the Health First Community Engagement Center at 321-434-4335.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Despite a double-double performance by senior Alex Adams with 12 points and 10 rebounds, the Birmingham-Southern women's basketball team lost at home to undefeated Auburn University Montgomery, 54-47, Tuesday evening in Bill Battle Coliseum.
AUM moves to 10-0 on the season, while the Panthers fall to 2-5.
The first half was close the whole way, with neither team leading by more than five and six lead changes. The Warhawks led by four, 23-19, at the half, however, and would never relinquish their lead. AUM stretched its lead to eight, 33-25, by the 12:56 mark, and stayed just ahead of BSC for the duration of the game. The Panthers were able to cut it to four down the stretch, 49-45, with 2:59 left, but the Warhawks proceeded to score five straight points and go up 54-45 with 13 seconds left. BSC hit one last layup before the final buzzer to cut it to 54-47.
Adams led BSC with her 12 points and 10 boards, and sophomore Kayla Ford led with four assists.
AUM's Kamesha Strong and Keisha Moore led all players with 14 points apiece, and Moore led the Warhawks with eight rebounds. Katie Williams led with four assists.
The Panthers shot 17-50 (.340) from the field, 7-19 (.368) from three-point range, and 6-11 (.545) at the free throw line. The Warhawks were more effective, hitting 25-55 (.455) overall, but were 0-5 from beyond the arc and 4-9 (.444) at the charity stripe.
AUM won the rebounding battle, 37-33, and BSC had 18 turnovers, two more than the Warhawks.
The Panthers are off for the next 11 days before opening Southern Athletic Association play on the road against Millsaps, Dec. 15 at 3 p.m. in Jackson, Miss. BSC returns home after Christmas, hosting the Sheraton Birmingham Classic, Dec. 29 and 30.

You all keep ignoring the Leg in Masada, Israel even though you all saw pictures of a cluebox and Jeeps with the american production logo and at the same date a leg was "missing" on your timeline. How come??? What am I missing here?
Mooyou,Yes, it looks like AR15 is back to an 11 episode season, jsut like most recent seasons except AR14. No, you cannot assuem that there is no TBC in AR15. AT this point, we do not know. TBCs do not have to be in the same city. Witness AR10's Finland combined with Kiev TBC episodes.
I think Dubai was two legs because we obviously need 11 legs so this is what everything points to:
We need to place teams at the windmill pretty early I believe..I think by 10?? SO allowing for driving times they need to be at either AMS or Bremen very early, I think flights arr 930-10 may well be too late for that.But I do LOVE the idea of Bremen!I will go ask Dutch to please reconfirm the time he first saw the teams, hopefully that might help us here.

Go ahead and open up that time window to 10:12 am . I noticed another shadow and came up with a new interpretation of the scene.
Chateau,Wow! There are some perfect fits for what we are looking for:Incoming Dubai to Amman choice of 2 flights landing 20 minutes apart: DBX AMM EK901 0725 0920 or RJ613 0730 0940Tel Aviv to Frankfurt: TLV FRA LH6871645 2000connecting to FRA BRE LH350 2125 2220An alternative is Tel Aviv to Amesterdam TLV AMS LY339 1705 2110Bremen is actually closer to Amsterdam and has a lower probability of an airport siting (because nobosy would expect the Amazing Race there), so I prefer the first approach but the second gives a precious 20 minutes extra on a very tight timetable for teams to do their land routes to and from Massada. As Professor Henry Higgins was fond of saying, "I think we've got it."The Amman to Masada to Tel Aviv portion would be by self-drivecar or taxi. The only almost-certainty is using the Allenby/King Hussein gate to go into East Jerusalem, since it is one of only 3 border crossings between Israel and Jordan and the other 2 are far north and far south of it.
I now have the land distances associated with my post above.The distance from Amman to Jerusalem is only 45 miles, but it can take up to 5 hours or longer. I have to assume that World Race Productions has obtained prior authorization for that to be expedited, so let's say 1.5 hours for this portion.From Jerusalem south to Massada on the west bank of the Dead Sea is 90km, or 55 miles. Say 1.5 hours for that segment since the first part is very urban and congested.Assume that the tasks at Massada will take one hour and end in a TBC.From Massada northwest to Ben Gurion Airport is 133 km or 83 miles. Let's say 1.5 hours for that segment since it is mostly rural.The resulting timeline is:ready to go from Amman International Airport 1020across King Hussein/Allenby Gate 1150arrive Massada 1320leave Massada 1420arrive Ben Gurion 1550departure of LH687 to Frankfurt 1645There is no slack in these assumptions. That is barely enough time for teams to buy tickets adn get onto LH687, but it could potentially have been done.Comments from those who have driven around Israel more recently than me (1981) will be appreciated, particualrly on whether the border crossing could be expedited and how long it takes to drive in those parts of Israel.
I think we can fit this in. But there is one thing that still bothers me about making it fit and that is that the original spoiler said that he was going for a dawn climb of the Masada when he saw the racer's jeeps with flags. So that would be dawn on the 29th. Well, we had a team in Dubai at that time. Or if it was dawn on the 30th how do we get the teams up to Vierhuizen by 10 am?
re Masada:I just checked flights from Tel Aviv on the 30th.There is a direct flight to Brussels dep110am arr 505 ish which could connect to a shuttle to AMS, wh actually arrived at 712 AM. So logistically tight, but possible?July 27th should have been taskday/Pitstop in Dubai, allowing teams to depart Dubai on the 28th.
Thanks Peach.I'm making stew ...
the airport airline and management staff were setting up the markers and stuff for the show when the racers would leave
So they were apparently just showing the stuff and talking about the "Hollywood movie" that was going to be shot in the airport.

Yasu fights out and hits all of his opponents but gets knocked back into the corner again. More double teaming by Kazarian and Daniels. Sabin joins in for the triple team and they hit a nice three-way dropkick for a close 2 count. Kazarian goes to the top but misses a leg drop. Sanada tags in with Daniels. Sanada unloads but Sabin comes in. Sanada takes them both out. Sanada has dropkicks for everyone. Sanada with a big slam and a close 2 count on Daniels. Bad Influence stop a tiger suplex and double team Sanada for a 2 count. Daniels accidentally clotheslines Kaz. Muta tags in with dropkicks to the knee on Daniels. Big leg whips for Sabin and Kaz, and then Daniels. Muta with a leg bar on Daniels. Sabin breaks it up. Muta fights off a double team and spits mist in Kaz's face. Sanada and Yasu make comebacks. Sanada tags in as Muta hits a Shining Wizard on Daniels. Sanada nails a moonsault on Daniels for the win.

Nouveau With Mesa 7.9 Is Better, But Still Slow: Not only have we been busy testing Mesa 7.9 with the Intel and ATI/AMD drivers along with the Gallium3D drivers (including LLVMpipe), but the Nouveau driver that continues to be developed by the open-source community for NVIDIA GPUs received a fresh round of tests too. Our first published benchmarks of the Nouveau Gallium3D driver were back in February when it was nearing a decent state in terms of supported features and stability. Its DRM also finally entered the mainline Linux kernel earlier this year thereby allowing many Linux distributions to now use the Nouveau KMS driver even though not many have yet adopted the Gallium3D driver for OpenGL acceleration. We delivered updated Gallium3D benchmarks in June with the latest Mesa code at that point, but since then there was the integration of a new GLSL compiler into Mesa and many Nouveau changes, so here are our most recent OpenGL benchmarks from this open-source NVIDIA driver.

Marco Scutaro is a gritty gamer
Also, it makes him a bit of an idiot, seeing as how you can run through the bag quicker. But what do we know? We haven't got any heart or grit.
Maybe if we had better chemistry with the Jays, they could have shown some determination and urgency and won last night's game in extra innings. Instead, we sat back and ate chips in bed and the Jays lost 6-5 to the Reds. We just have to want it more. We've got to give it our all and focus on the task at hand, rather than listening to Jerry and Alan while trolling around egotastic.com for pictures of naked celebrities.
You know who is a gritty gamer?
Roy Halladay. Dude went out five days after taking a line drive off the melon, and threw 121 pitches. It wasn't his best outing, but the fact that he's out there at all is a tribute to the Stormin' Mormon.
Brian Wolfe would do well to learn how to take the out that they are trying to give up
Oh Wolfie. You are so pleasantly plump, and your tiny goatee accentuates your auxiliary chins. It's just too bad that you had to walk the first batter you saw (bad), then walk a guy who was squaring around to give himself up to advance the runner (superbad!). And this, after Scott Downs and B.J. Ryan had held down the fort.
Say, what ever happened to Jeremy Accardo?
Apparently, he "remains in a holding pattern on his rehab assignment and there is no timetable for his return." So we'll have to go a while before seeing his splendid mullet.

I have to say that I HATE IT when people hate on players who slide through First Base.
Why? Have you ever ran through first base in your life?
It's not like you go up there and say "Hey, I'm going to slide through first base today".
What it really is, is that you are running so hard, seeing how you can smell that infield hit - your forward momentum starts to fall - meaning your upper body is trying to run faster than your legs can run, and you eventually start falling forward because of stupid gravity.
Would you rather see someone slide through first base, or see someone snap their thigh tripping over First base?

Wow. I was JUST at egotastic before coming here. Are you spying on me?
BTW, wtf is screwface talking about? Sliding slows you down, running through doesn't.

If you feared the tension of "Boardwalk Empire" (8 p.m. Sunday, HBO; 3.5 stars out of 4) would fizzle after the shocking finale of Season 2, take heart. Season 3 is off to a roaring good start.
Just in case you haven't seen Season 2 of the Prohibition-era gangster tale, spoiler ahead! Atlantic City bootleg king Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) put a couple of slugs into his surrogate son, Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt), after learning Jimmy was conspiring to steal his criminal enterprise.
So how does a drama move on after killing off its main antagonist? Series creator Terence Winter simply added someone even more trigger-happy and nasty. Brooklyn gangster Gyp Rosetti (Bobby Cannavale) doesn't like Nucky's plan to partner exclusively with New York mobster Arnold Rothstein (Michael Stuhlbarg). Gyp immediately shows that he's not someone you should cross. Cannavale is at his sinister best here. Gyp seethes with unbridled rage, but under the surface is the almost childlike insecurity of a school-age bully.
"Gyp Rosetti is trouble for everyone, which makes him bad for business," Nucky says. But he's good for Nucky, and Buscemi, who puts to rest any complaints that he isn't believable as a ruthless gangster in the season premeire. He's absolutely harrowing and cold-hearted as Nucky orders the execution of a low-level employee. (I've always felt that Buscemi's quirky take gives Nucky just enough unpredictability to make him dangerous and frightening.)
The new season begins 18 months after Nucky offed Jimmy, with Nucky fighting to keep his seat as the undisputed boss of the Atlantic City rackets. He and his wife, Margaret (Kelly Macdonald), aren't getting along, but they throw a King Tut-themed party (Tut's tomb was discovered in November 1922) to ring in 1923 and, incidentally, the Jazz Age. The party scenes, like the rest of the series, glitter with period detail.
The rest of the opener is excellent, too, as it fills us in on what's happening with the show's many other characters. (If I wanted to nitpick, I'd say it's difficult to keep track of all the well-dressed gangsters.)
One new character who does stand out is Broadway showgirl Billie Kent, who charms her way into Nucky's life. In a new season that wows at every turn, Northwestern University grad Meg Chambers Steedle could steal the show and viewers' hearts.

I work as a computer technician and I have an interesting problem with memory failing memory test. The system that I am currently building for a customer has the following specs
MSI all in one: MS-AC73
2x4GB 1333MHZ memory
I5-2400 3.10Ghz Processor
Windows 7 x64
The problem I am having is out of the 8 systems I have built for this customer all systems have failed memory test. I am using memscope to test these systems, however I have noticed one thing when I go to exchange the memory in the system. The memory is always HOT, to the point of burning my fingers. I was wondering if anyone has seen related problems and how to fix it. I previously built 120 of the same system with the same specs and had about a 85% failure on memory on those and after weeks of changing memory and testing it I got them to work, however I don't have that kind of time with these systems. Help!!!!!

America, meet your new Superman: his name is Henry Cavill, and he's definitely a 'Man of Steel.' Prepare to swoon.
'Man of Steel' doesn't hit theaters until next week, but we just couldn't wait to let you guys lay eyes on this patriotic hunk. In the film, Henry Cavill plays Clark Kent/Superman, an orphaned alien from the planet of Krypton, sent to Earth and fostered by a lovely couple in the hopes that they can raise him to be a morally upright young man.
He does more than that, though. Seems his alien genetics have made him a bit of a super-man. Or Superman, rather.
Clark has skills! He can fly, he has incredible strength, and he can use those powers to save lives. But should he reveal himself to be different from other normal humans? Should he use his powers for good an intervene with fate? What if he's using his powers to stop the evil of other men?
All these questions and more will be answered when the film hits theaters next week. But for now, let's take in all of Cavill's disarming handsomeness with these photos, which you can use as a primer on this up and coming hunk.

The primary objective of the Kinesiology majors and non-majors in physical education. Still another objective is to provide students an opportunity to obtain skills in lifetime and recreational activities for use in their leisure time. It is strongly recommended that those students who plan to receive the baccalaureate degree from a university complete the physical education requirements for that degree during their freshman and sophomore years at South Plains College.
The majority of classes offered in this department are one hour credit activity courses. A wide variety of activity options is available to the students. All students who are seeking an Associate Degree that includes the core curriculum are required to take at least two of these activity classes.
Opportunities for certification in lifeguard training and/or water safety instructor are available to students already proficient in swimming.
Kinesiology activity courses may not be repeated for graduation credit.
Students majoring in Kinesiology should take seven activity courses during their freshman and sophomore years. It is essential that the prospectiveKinesiology major consult an advisor in the department before scheduling classes. Consult you advisor about foreign language requirements.
Departmental chairperson is Jon Marc Moore, professor of physical education.

A congressional push to pull back on reforms to the National Flood Insurance program is gathering steam in Congress, according to local officials.
A congressional push to pull back on reforms to the National Flood Insurance program is gathering steam in Congress, according to local officials.
Terrebonne Parish President Michel Claudet said his sources tell him more than 100 members of the House of Representatives will co-sponsor legislation that would delay reforms to the program that have resulted in annual insurance costs topping $20,000 for some homes in south Louisiana that have never flooded. Those feared reforms passed Congress as the Biggert-Waters Act of 2012.
The Menendez-Isakson Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act, unveiled earlier this week, will delay certain aspects of the reforms and tie potential increases to the completion of an affordability study.
The new effort would delay implementation of flood insurance cost increases on primary residences that have not severely flooded for about four years. It also would delay increases on properties sold or newly enrolled in the program after July 6, 2012, when the bill took effect.
The bill would delay cost increases until two years after completion and review of an affordability study that Craig Fugate, Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator, said is about two years away.
Claudet described the bill not as a fix-all but a first step toward a solution to the law's more radical reforms. Specifically, Biggert-Waters removes grandfathering that allowed homeowners who built to FEMA's prescribed elevations to keep their rates, though their area's flood risk could increase under maps used to determine their costs.
Claudet described the removal of grandfathering as a "killer."
Because FEMA could remap the area every five years, home or business owners could build to a certain height but be deemed below FEMA's prescribed elevation during a future remapping and face substantial increases.
"Why would someone invest in an area if they do not know what the rate will be?" Claudet said.
While the bill itself does not reinstate grandfathering, completion of an affordability study will likely lead to a solution to that issue, Claudet said.
South Lafourche Levee District Director Windell Curole said the bill would benefit Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes by ensuring the process for including local levees in flood maps persists even if provisions of the bill are delayed.
Curole said non-federally certified levees like those around south Lafourche and those being built in Terrebonne have not historically been included in flood maps. FEMA has committed to fixing that through a process it calls LAMP.
The bill will also allow homeowners to receive a reimbursement if they successfully appeal the zone their property is mapped into. Previously, many homeowners would probably avoid such appeals because of the high cost, Curole said. Now, he added, individuals will have a greater opportunity to appeal.
Claudet said he is going to push for the same opportunity for communities that have appealed their maps because Terrebonne has spent $250,000 on appeals so far and has budgeted more.
The bill is expected to make its way to a congressional committee in about two weeks.
While support is mounting, so is opposition. Among those lobbying against the changes to Biggert-Waters is the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies, which claims a membership of more than 1,400 insurance companies serving 135 million policyholders, some of whom administer federal flood insurance policies.
The group, along with other Biggert-Waters supporters, claims the reforms are necessary to put the National Flood Insurance Program, now roughly $28 billion in debt, on solid financial footing.
Jimi Grande, senior vice president of federal and political affairs, explains the group's position in an Oct. 16 letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell that was delivered all senators.
"The NFIP must charge rates that reflect the true cost of providing flood insurance coverage, and the government should not continue to mask the risks of living in a flood-prone area by delaying these much-needed reforms," Grande wrote.
"Prior to the passage of Biggert-Waters, the NFIP's unsustainable rates all but ensured the program would remain in debt to the treasury and would be incapable of meeting its obligations to policyholders after a major flood."
In the letter, Grande said his organization recognizes the need to provide aid to some homeowners who can't afford the cost increases. But his group argues that should be provided through "direct assistance" rather than by weakening the National Flood Insurance Program through suppressed costs subsidized by U.S. taxpayers. He also emphasized the need to reduce flood risk through actions such as elevating and flood-proofing homes and enacting building codes.
However," Grande wrote, "we remain in full support of reforms to the NFIP made by the Biggert-Waters Act and oppose any efforts to delay or roll back pieces of the legislation."

The hiring crunch for developers in the tech industry is a pain point we hear about nearly every day. Now, a San Francisco startup called Twice — that specializes in selling secondhand clothes of all things — is taking one of the more unusual approaches we've encountered to get developers in the door.
Today, the year-old company, led by ex Googlers Noah Ready-Campbell and Calvin Young, said that they will offer $1 million in cash and equity to acquire alumni of startup incubators TechStars, Y Combinator or 500 Startups that have yet to move the needle on their own startups and are running out of cash.
Twice is dubbing the effort the "Restart Fund," a play on words of the Start Fund which offers $150,000 to every graduate of Y Combinator. And here's why the company, which is backed with $4 million from SV Angel, CrunchFund and others, decided to make the offer:
In the past few years, seed funding has exploded. The best engineers and designers haven't been looking for jobs at startups — they've been starting them. There are many causes for the shift, but for most startups the end result is the same: They hit the Series A crunch and face a tough decision.
At Twice, we recognize this. If two engineers and a designer can build a world-class product, they should be compensated accordingly. And starting a company is a filter that weeds out 90% of candidates. The people who join Twice are creative, brilliant, and tenacious. These people are entrepreneurs.
The Restart Fund is taking applications through the end of the year, but may make a decision before that if a great team walks through the door. Is this offer too good to be true?
Well, of course, it comes with some stipulations. For one, the team that is acquired most have at least three engineers/designers and all applicants must pass an engineering/design challenge and standard reference checks.
Twice also said that, in most cases, the product(s) that they acquire will be shut down in a "responsible transition plan."
"We were accepted into Y Combinator, so we saw firsthand the quality of our peer companies," said Twice co-founder and CTO Calvin Young in a press release. "This happened right around the time our micropayments business was slowing down, so we ultimately chose to decline YC, but some of the best engineers I've ever met have gone through the program."

Steve Yelvington, principal strategist at Morris Publishing Group, has been named vice president of audience for the Savannah Morning News and Bluffton Today, a new senior-level position created by each of Morris's metro markets. This new role will focus on building a powerful community voice by growing the news, audience and digital efforts.
Yelvington started his career as a small-town weekly newspaper editor. Since 2001, he has served in senior management positions at Morris DigitalWorks and Morris Publishing Group.
"We are very pleased that Steve will be joining our team. He brings the knowledge, skills and experience we require as we continue to build on our dominant position as the area's top locally produced digital news and information provider," said Michael C. Traynor, publisher of the Savannah Morning News.
Yelvington said the Morning News is a forward-looking company with a broad multimedia portfolio and a bright future.
"It's a chance to work closely with a great team of talented people I've known for years," said Yelvington. "Savannah is a great community - truly a special place, a tourist destination, a world-class port, a builder of aviation technology and a pearl of arts and culture. I'm delighted by the opportunity."
Yelvington was founding editor of Star Tribune Online Minneapolis in 1994 and built it into one of the top-ranked newspaper sites in the world. He has received the Editor and Publisher EPPY Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement (2001) and the Newspaper Association of America Online Digital Edge Online Innovator Award (2007).
As executive editor and network content director for Cox Interactive Media, he supervised a nationwide network of city sites. At Morris, Yelvington has been instrumental in helping develop and execute audience strategies for the digital world.
"Steve's contributions to the industry to build digital audience have been extraordinary," said Derek May, executive vice president of Morris Publishing Group. "We have been fortunate to have his expertise at Morris corporate for many years and to now have him lead audience growth in Savannah is a huge win for us."
Yelvington lives in Augusta with his wife Diane, an autism therapist and swim team coach. They have a daughter at Vanderbilt University and another in high school.

Following Atlanta's loss in New Orleans, Falcons center Todd McClure nearly blamed the team's struggling ground game on his running back. And then he stopped.
"That's what (ticks) me off more than anything is you guys are going to write about how bad we are up front and that we can't get in the end zone. But there's more to it than just blocking up front, and that's all I'm going to say about that," McClure told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"I get really frustrated when I hear things and read things knowing there's more to it than five guys up front but we take the brunt of the blame. I don't want to talk about that anymore because I don't want to say anything I regret."
McClure could have been talking about his coaching staff, but it's more likely he was talking about Michael Turner. The veteran running back couldn't pick up a yard in crucial situations last year, and the same is true in 2012. But Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter says it's not Turner's fault.
"We need to run the ball more efficiently as a team," Koetter said. "It doesn't matter who the runner is. When you look at the tape on the majority of Mike Turner's runs in the game the other day, he had no chance. We had free runners at the point of attack."
Turner and Jacquizz Rodgers have struggled to consistently gain yards on the ground this season, but Rodgers is a far bigger threat as a receiver. We'd expect Rodgers to get more work in the second half of the season. Teams like the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots have survived without great running games in the past, but they have MVP-caliber quarterbacks.
It's a lot to ask Matt Ryan to play at that level every game.

The Fingerist by EVENNO (Trinity Inc)
A short while ago I caught sight of this accessory at an Apple themed event in Tokyo. I couldn't believe someone hasn't done this before. An iPhone add-on that turns your geek-phone into a real musical instrument!
I finally got my hands on one and have had a great time testing it out over the last few days. Sure there are lots of apps that simulate every musical instrument on the planet, but I always felt the experience was somewhat lacking. Now I know what was needed.
The Fingerist is made by Japan based Trinity inc, and was developed in cooperation with local Apple fans and musicians to create a totally new musical instrument. Basically an Apple dock connected to a speaker, the Fingerist turns any iPhone or iPod Touch into a something truly unique.
How it works
The Fingerist is about the size of a Ukulele and requires three AA batteries to operate. Once you have put in the batteries, simply slide your iPhone or iPod Touch onto the dock and push it into the small recess in the middle of the Fingerist. There is a small latch that will hold the iPhone in and a spring to keep it from wobbling around loose. Then turn on the volume, start up any musical instrument app and you are ready to go. I tried Pocket Guitar and Frontier's Guitar app and had a blast plinking away. The built in 3 watt speaker offers clear sound that will fill a small room, and there is even a standard quarter inch output plug for larger amplifiers.
Build and Quality
I have to admit, I was just a small bit let down when I actually held the Fingerist for the first time. While it looked at first glance like the casing was made with real wood, close inspection reveals that it is made almost entirely of high end plastic. It's actually very good quality and I had to look closely to tell, but the wooden parts are molded plastic with a special coating. It actually feels very good and makes the whole thing lighter than I was expecting, but I still would have preferred solid wood. On the whole however, I have to say the build quality is excellent. The speaker is great and provides great sound and the whole thing has a very nice solid feel. The use of the Apple dock interface means no loose wires.
I was really impressed with the packaging for the Fingerist. First of all, it didn't come in a box. It actually comes in a very nice soft case. Not only does it reduce wasteful packaging, but it also saves you from having to buy a carrying case. Great idea!
Inside the case there is the Fingerist, a guitar style strap, and three silicon cases. These are used to protect your iPhone/iPod and create a custom fit so it will blend into the front face without a gap. I was very surprised to see that in addition to an iPhone 3G/3Gs and iPod Touch case, there was also a case for the unreleased iPhone 4!
Price and Availability
The Fingerist was shown off at CES and promised a March release. It seems that some problems with manufacturing has delayed the launch, but it is now available in Japan for 14,800 yen. It should be available soon in the United States for a $150.00. Pretty reasonable price for a fun and unique accessory.
Here's a video of the Fingerist in action.

After starting the season with resounding wins at the Logger Relays in Federal Way, Washington, last week, the CMS Stag and Athena swimming and diving teams opened their dual meet campaigns at UC-San Diego on Saturday, October 29.
The NCAA Division II power Tritons beat CMS 177-111 in the men's contest and 175-112 in the women's meet. Athena sophomore Michele Kee pulled out CMS's lone victory of the day, out-touching the field in the 100 yard freestyle with at time of 53.78.
While event victories were in short supply, CMS posted several impressive early season performances.
In the distance races, CMC frosh LillyBelle Deer finished second in both the 1000 and 500 yard freestyles with times of 10:43.58 and 5:16.00. For the Stags, Alex Mendoza placed second in the 1000 in 9:55.04, while fellow frosh Devin Nishizaki negative-split his 500 yard freestyle, finishing third in 4:52.41.
Athena sophomore Helen Liu was only .06 behind first in the 50 yard freestyle, but still broke the 25-second barrier with a time of 24.91 in the splash and dash. First-year Stag Cameron Whiting notched a personal record in the 200 yard freestyle, narrowly finishing behind UCSD's second place finisher with a time of 1:44.76. Breaststroke star, Vincent Pai picked up silver medals in both the 100 and 200 yard breast events and diver James Stevick was second on the 3-meter board.
CMS saved its most exciting race for last, as the Stag relay of Cameron Whiting, Devin Bowers, Jeff McNerney and Patrick Shultz raced UCSD stroke for stroke for 350 yards, before UCSD's anchor-leg pulled away. The quartet's time of 3:11.13 ranks among the top 400 free relays logged in NCAA D-III so far this season.
