Former Falcons wide receiver Andre Rison, who made at least $19.120 million in base salaries and signing bonuses over his 12-year NFL career, is among a group of retired athletes to address their financial problems in "Broke," a ESPN documentary ESPN directed by Billy Corben scheduled to be released in October.
The documentary "digs into the psychology of men whose competitive nature carries them to victory on the field and ruin off it."
Rison, 45, played for the Falcons from 1990-94. He caught 423 passes for 5,633 yards and 56 touchdowns over his five seasons with the Falcons. The AJC caught up with Rison back in 2009 for this "Whatever happened to. …" story.
Over his career, Rison made base salaries ranging from $175, 000 in 1990 to $2.8 in 1996.
He also amassed $10.84 million in signing bonus. He also likely made additional millions in reporting, workout bonuses and other incentives.
Rison declared bankruptcy in 2007 after failing to pay child support.
"Broke "is scheduled to air as part of ESPN's 30 for 30 Vol. II film series.
Rison, a five-time Pro Bowler, had his best seasons with the Falcons and won a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers.
He played in 186 games, 156 starts, 743 catches, 10,205 yards and 84 touchdowns
"Broke" is scheduled to make its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival next month, according to the festival's Web site. Rison is standing in front of some burning money with his hands up in the air on the website.
According to a 2009 Sports Illustrated article, 60 percent of NBA players are broke within five years of retirement. For 78 percent of NFL players, it takes only three years. Sucked into bad investments, stalked by freeloaders, saddled with medical problems, and naturally prone to showing off, most pro athletes get shocked by harsh economic realities after years of living the high life. Drawing surprisingly vulnerable confessions from retired stars like Jamal Mashburn, Bernie Kosar, and Andre Rison, as well as Marvin Miller, the former executive director of the MLB Players Association, this fascinating documentary digs into the psychology of men whose competitive nature carries them to victory on the field and ruin off it.
Keepin with the SI stats, wefound out this morning that Atlanta native Jamal Lewis . has filed for bankruptcy.
Rison was indicted by a federal grand jury last year for failure to pay child support charges in Arizona and has also has been charged in past years in other child support cases in Genesee County and Georgia.
Here are the base salaries and signing bonuses that I have on Rison, according to NFLPA documents:

I am sure Rison can put his degree from Michigan State to good use in finding a job. It is just like Charles Barkley said; "If I did not play NBA basketball, I would have used my degree in aeronautical engineering to get a job as a sky cap at Hartsfield airport."

For many athletes and rock stars and rap stars, how much money you have is not nearly as important as how much money you spend.
I don't have anything against Andre Rison, but I will not shed any tears for him, either.
Somebody needs to tell these NFL players that they really don't make a lot of money. If they try to spend like NBA stars and big name rappers, they will go broke.
June 5th, 2012

I could see going through a couple million. But, 20 million is a lot of money. You really have to be actively trying to rid yourself of it.
June 5th, 2012

Although he may not have retired with huge numbers, many people inside the game say Rison was among the top 5 most talented recievers of all time.
June 5th, 2012
10:21 am
I can certainly understand how Rison became broke. My wife and I make healthy salaries and we always carry debt on several credit cards because we like to play. By play, I mean eat out at nice restaraunts 5 times a week, go on nice vacations, buy nice cars, etc. we are always living above our means but the difference between us and pro athletes is that we don't lose our jobs when we get older and out of shape like they do so we keep getting the income and theirs stops. If we lose our jobs, we would be broke in a short amount of time too if we kept spending like we do. Fortunately, we save too and that is the key differance between folks like us and them.
I feel for these young folks who don't set money aside for the future and don't touch it.

As far as I know both leagues hold rookie symposiums telling them about the money and the ones who will be after it. They warn about bad investments and the women but it seems a lot of guys have the "not me" mentality. My friend told me more than once, "don't let other people spend your money". (i.e. – broke people and women telling you what you "should" be doing, buying and living")

What? No mentioned about his relationship with TLC's Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes and her setting his house on fire?
But these younger players, who make much more money than the older sports icons made, should take notice of folks like Hank Aaron. Aaron was smart with his money and was able to become a successful businessman with fast-food restaurants and car dealerships.

what does LLL setting his house on fire have to do with anything….insurance paid to have it rebuilt…and…
how does that fit in with his spending during his career and his inability to sustain his life style after his playing days were over…
June 5th, 2012

First and most importantly, he never saw anywhere near $19 million after taxes and agent fees. With that being said it is always ashamed to see an athlete struggle after the paydays stop. Compare his highest contract to the one Calvin Johnson just signed. I hope someone with sense is in Calvin's ear.

Not sure about the child support arrangements but they certainly was a bit more off the top. In either case yes you are correct he did squander a significant amount of money, more than most of us will see in a lifetime

Look at these guys lives. They first go to high school where they are made gods. The high school pets them on everything and they are held accountable for no actions they take. Many of these guys were 5 star players and even in this paper you know they walk on water and have special articles written about them. Next stop college where they are allowed many acts of bad behavior when the average student would be booted out of school. Next stop professional sports at this level they make tremendous salaries and even charge a young kid for something as common as an autograph. Everybody bows down an worships there skills. They receive much more honor than the doctor who would cure cancer. Last stop retirement then they have to grow up. No more bow downs,hero worship or other benefits. I think they should work in a regular job and see how real people live. Just think they could not afford tickets to see there old teams play.

At 20 million+ income, he no doubt netted about $14 million of that. Any reasonable rate of return over the time period that he played (the 1990s) would have doubled that $14 million to $28 million.
Subtract 8 million to live through his playing years, and you have $20 million at a draw down of 3-4% per year would have allowed him to withdraw/spend about $800k a year… INDEFINITELY. And, BTW, we don't have an estimate for how much they made in endorsements… which might be as much as their base salary!
The financial acumen of these athletes is horrible.

I had the pleasure of serving Mr. Rison at Deion's Club 21 back in the early 90's. He ordered a bottle of Moet Chandon White Star for $47. He paid for is with 2 twenties, a 5 and 8 quarters! No tip! He was always wanting to be hooked up for free drinks because he thought he was important. He may have been a decent athlete, but in my book, he's loser!

Really can't feel sorry for a "playa" and one of the all time "look at me" guys. I've made mistakes myself but not because of feeling the need for an entourage, multiple houses and multiple cars. Curt Schilling is reported as having $50 million in the bank when he retired and now he's broke. Bad investments he says. Who needs to make investments when you start off with $50 million? As a whole athletes never have been known for their brains.

I think they should work in a regular job and see how real people live. Just think they could not afford tickets to see there old teams play.
some of these guys came from poor neighborhoods and poor families. I'm sure they already know how the "real people live".
Also, for all of the people on here "dogging" Rison, what about when good old boy, hard working, multiple young blonde marrying, NON-athletic Ed McMahon wound up broke and was almost evicted from his mansion? (Trump saved him by buying it and letting him continue to live in it). Didn't hear a lot of "He Was An Arrogant Azz & deserved it!" comments then.

Let's do the hypothetical math: $ 20 million career earnings less 10% agent fees. $ 18 million less taxes (40% ?) = $10.8 M. $10.8 million divided 1/3 for Athlete, 1/3 for Alimony/Child Support/Bad Investments, 1/3 for legal fees = $3.5 M for the athlete to spend. $3.5 million for the athlete to spend divided by 7 year career = $ 500,000 per year after taxes during the athlete's playing career.
If the athlete buys just one Bentley, that's a $250,000 chunk from the $ 500,000 for one of those years. If the athlete buys a nice house for himself, that's $ 1.5 million (or three years of his net net salary). If he buys his mom a nice house, that's another $500,000 (or one year of his net net salary.)
All that is left from his playing career after paying for moms, kids, business partners, agents and lawyers, etc, is $ 1.25 million. The athlete is around 30 years old at this point, his playing career winding down, and his lifestyle is not winding down. So, from the $ 20 million career earning, the athlete has to live now and retire later on $ 1.25 million dollars.

Eff em all. I pay $350 per month for 10,000 deductible health insurance and have been self employed for 25 years which means living below my means and saving every penny so I can sleep at night. Next week I've got to pay out of pocket $1500 for spoinal injections after pay Blue Cross $350 this month for insurance because I have high deductible. I DON'T EXPECT anybody or any of you to care one iota nor do I care about your personal crosses to bear. It's just life and then you die.
I had to opportunity for Mr. Rison to appear in our courtroom in 2004 and 5 for non payment of child support with a very highly priced attorney claiming he had no money and couldn't find a J O B. The only problem was, and as noted by the judge, he had on a crazy assed pair of NIke pimp sneakers that probably cost 200 bills. I haven't spent 20o total on shoes in five years. So got to Mickey D's you jerk and get over yourself.

Andre Rison was a great athlete but a classless person. He was never a team player, but had a great NFL career. His agent, Charles Parker, always seemed to handle issues that he got into. He never payed people for the stuff he bought. His agent would take care of that after the vendor filed suit. Once his career was winding down, his agent was less inclined to "baby sit" Rison's issues. It is sad that these great athletes never grow up and mature. When they are young, the high school coach takes care of them. When they are in college, the college coach takes care of them. When they are in the pros, the agent takes care of them. At some point, you got to grow up.

Man I tell you he had a good time as long as he realize that and enjoy the fun of just having the chance to play with the big boy's and have a dream come true to play in the NFL. He's not like T.O. complaining about his bad investments and want to sue everybody because of his behavior while on the job he was problems.Andre to me love wild women and strip clubs and having a good time as long he enjoyed himself way to go Andre.Now take your degree and make you so more money and keep on living and enjoying life.

Why do we want to watch another show about how financially irresponsible the African American man is when he had money? It is going to make your all look foolish. Do you think it will get you sympathy in someone's child support court? Because if I see TO crying on one more show about him having no money to pay…well you should have thought about that when you were blowing money!!
Why not go to ESPN with a show profiling veteran athletes that come back to assist the rookie players in becoming successful on & off the field to include everything from public speaking/ financial planning / social media / current spending / building character & etc. Men STAND UP and stop letting the media drag you..damn!

Oprah needs to school these dudes on how to handle their money. She's trying to get ratings for her network, so why not do a reality show with Andre Rison, Warren Sapp, and Terrell Owens? The cameras could follow them around and see how they spend money, and then Oprah could have an intervention with them and point out the dumb mistakes they are making. Step 1) Avoid Kim Kardashian. Step 2) Earn money like Kim Kardashian. She is a complete non-talent who has figured out how to earn $40 million per year. Andre is such a train-wreck that he would make great reality TV. Pretty soon, he will be back earning more than he ever did in the NFL.

I don't know how old Rison is, but when he reaches 55 he will be able to receive an NFL pension. Since he played 12 years, he will probably make about $4000 a month. I know that's way below his spending standards, but at least he will be able to eat. I know plenty of retirees right now that are living on social security payments of around $1000 a month, and they are not eating very well. I was just wondering….didn't Rison have any real friends? Surely someone could have told him to put at least $1 million away for a rainy day. I guess it's true. Almost everybody in America is a crook. Lord save us!

These guys make more money in one year than most people earn in their entire lives.
If they are stupid enough to blow it (and they are) then so be it.
It kills me that they have to have "rookie seminars" to teach these Grown Men how to behave.
No, they can't bank it, they've gotta "invest" it in 5 cars,3 houses wich naturally results in 10 kids with 10 women and settin up they Aunt with a chicken and waffle stand.
June 5th, 2012
2:58 pm
Don't forget Uncle Sam took half of Andre's loot before he even got it in his pocket. His agent also took another 5%-10% too. These guys do spend like they don't owe taxes and that the money will keep flowing for the rest of their lives. A reasonable thing for a professional sports star to do would be to invest half of what they take in after taxes, agent fees, etc. and blow the rest.
Don't buy a home until you are out of the league, get a vascetomy before you have any kids, and don't do drugs. Retire a multi-millionaire when you are 30. What's so hard about that?

To the nut that stated, lets watch the program and see what we can learn…..anyone with a brain and a small amount of sports knowledge is aware of this program being a rerun as it has played out many times. Ultimately, it has been too many times with people "LIKE" Rison. Be it Joe Louis, Evander Holyfiled, William Andrews, or Terrell Owens and the list could go on to be over a thousand long.
Point being, you can watch all you want but I will be you all you have that before the year is over I will be able to point out at least 10 more formerly rich pro athletes filing bankruptcy (like Jamal Lewis just did) before the year is over. And I will be able to do the same thing every year of my life.

I remember being in the bar at "Fuzzy's" in Elm Grove, WI back in the late '70's when I overheard Fuzzy Thurston, one of the bar owners and a retired GB Packer and Hall of Fame member, talking with a friend at the bar. I could not help but evesdrop because he sounded so down when he said, "Nobody wants to be Fuzzy anymore." Wow.
It is really unfortunate that these pro-athletes get wrapped up in their own celebrity and do not plan on the psychology of transitioning into the non-spot-lighted life. They get so used to the attention that they forget that there is a much longer life AFTER playing ball. So sad.

Usher knows this tune. He can relate to Andre. His ex-manager, ex-wife wants to carve off some of his lifestyle. She is entitled to live off him for the next 20 years, right? He will be broke in a couple of years too. Mark it down.

Child support and taxes. That is the path to going broke. No high income earner should chase skirts and skirt their tax bill, cause it will cost you in the long run. Andre should have kept up on those obligations instead of buying a new car every 6 months.
June 5th, 2012

No sympathy whatsoever. He made more in his 11-year career than most people will make in a lifetime. He had a free ride through college. Even if a rich athlete has zero financial sense, he has the money to hire a planner to make sure he and his family are forever taken care of.

It's so easy to beat up on these guys for mismanaging their money but truth be told, most of us have done the same, just at a smaller level…imagine being in your early or mid twenties, gettin' really paid, sycophants (butt kissers) constantly telling you how wonderful you are, beautiful women throwing themselves at you, and on and on…unless you have a firm foundation like the Manning brothers, you'll probably make the same mistake…Someone once told me "It's not what you make, it's what you manage"…so true, so true…

Andre is hiding his money. Mean lawyer man, with a discovery subpoena, is trying to find out how much cake is left to eat. Andre is too smart to hide money under his mattress and then burn the house down, isn't he?

Hey BW, don't lump Calvin Johnson in with these miscreants. Calvin went to a tough school and took difficult classes, worked on bringing water to a remote village. That sounds like someone with the maturity to work hard, delay gratification and plan for tomorrow vs these short sighted hedonists. These
tangible traits were probably evident in 3rd grade, the forces in place that compeled one to take the high road and the other the path of least resistance. The laws of nature and economics are linked and intractable.

When Andre Rison became a professional, he moved into a world few are prepared for. Instant wealth, fame, fan adoration. He became addicted to this intoxicating drug. Who of us wouldn't.

I know Rison personlly and like Frank Sinatra sang, "He did it his way!" and I have nothing but respect for him! Everyone who is hating on the man, He didnt ask for your simpathy. He didnt ask anyone to feel sorry for him! Last time I saw him he was still smiling and still the same old Dre! With or without the millions. I admire him and I think if he had a chance to do it over again he wouldnt change much about the way he lived. We all would change a few things. C'mon dont be a hipocrite!

Athletes need to learn that cars are not an investment and don't chase high returns by investing in private companies. When you start out early in life with this kind of income, you don't have to chase high returns. Invest like a 60 year old.

Remember when Andre's house burned down because "Left Eye" set some stuffed animals on fire in the bathtub. My guess is insurance didn't cover this because the fire was not an accident. This probably cost him a pretty penny to replace or repair.

Stories like these break my heart. How does this happen? It happens because the NFL does NOTHING to help their players understand the overwhelming responsibility of tremendous wealth. Why doesn't the NFL give a damn and make it a mandatory requirement that all NFL players sign with a wealth financial planner that is employed by a major lending institutiion or brokerage BEFORE closing the deal?

We as professionals make good money, sign contracts for BIG BUCKS, we never realize what the future holds. Alone the way they mistreat love ones, forget about our children, have sex with whom ever(women), because as an athlete we never think we will always be on top. sometimes we have to keep GOD in our lives. We must always pay our tithes, trust me I've been down and out, GOD pulled me through. It's all about where your HEART is THINK POSITIVE GOD WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY NO SHORT CUTS

Very common story. Maybe the major professional leagues should consider requiring that rookies take and pass a class in personal financial management and also make mandatory deductions from players' salaries that then go into a deferred compensation plan along with contributions from the teams they play for. The deferred comp would start being paid out upon the player's retirement.
Also, the players need to be able to have access to affordable healthcare insurance after they retire.

KazCosmos leasing Baikonur facilities
Kazakhstan's KazCosmos, is making its first appearance at Asian Aerospace, having been founded only last March. Kazakhstan has long been known for being the home of the famous Baikonur Cosmodrome, the site from which most of the major Soviet space launches were conducted, and has a wealth of facilities which the country now wants to market to the international space launch/satellite community.
Until now, most of the Baikonur facilities had been dedicated to supporting the Russian space program, with the Russian government paying for the use of the cosmodrome, but the Kazakhs are engaged in a two-year campaign, to end in 2007, for developing their space industry into an independent entity that is not dependent on the Russians for technical support or scientific expertise. KazCosmos is the national company that has been charged with carrying out this task and has initiated nine different projects aimed at fulfilling this goal.
Among these projects are plans for creating a national space technology design center, designing a series of satellite models based on a common platform, producing and launching a national telecommunications satellite and a study for developing a national satellite-based mobile voice interchange system.
KazCosmos also continues close cooperation with space technology and vehicle design enterprises in Russia and Ukraine and will be employing those ties to assist them in developing the necessary infrastructure.

Smarter Travel Media Partners with TripAdvisor to Launch SniqueAway Private Sale for Travel
BOSTON, September 7, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Smarter Travel Media, a TripAdvisor® Media Group company, launches SniqueAway™. For the first time private sale meets crowd-sourcing approval on a brand new members-only site where each offer is endorsed by the people. All hotels featured on SniqueAway have earned a minimum four-star rating* and a four or five out of five review rating on TripAdvisor. Hotel reviews are shown alongside limited-time offers available only to SniqueAway members, providing a quick view into how other travelers view the hotel and making it easy to book rooms before they sell out. To build membership, SniqueAway will also rely on the wisdom of the crowd to spread the news, since to be a member you must be invited by another member. Information on alluring SniqueAway deals at deep discounts can be found at www.SniqueAway.com and www.SniqueAway.com/press.
"We've watched and learned and now we're ready to party with the players who have proven the private sale model to be a winner," said Massimo De Nadai, General Manager for Smarter Travel Media.
Take it from some of the best journalists in the business: The private sale space is getting even hotter:
"Luxury hotels have long aimed for an image of exclusivity — setting prices beyond the reach of most travelers." (Michelle Higgins, The New York Times) "If you're new to the private-sale game, the way it works is that you have to become a member (it's free) to view a website's sales. Once you're in the club, a world of hotel discounts awaits." (Jen Leo, Los Angeles Times' Daily Travel & Deals Blog) "They may be the ultimate tool for travelers who want to enjoy luxe for less." (David Armstrong, TheStreet.com) "For starters, they aim for an image of exclusivity, with 'invitation only' setups and a strategy of preventing their wares from showing up in search-engine results. And they amplify those elements of bargain-focused shopping that some people find fun and exciting." (Rob Walker, The New York Times Magazine)
"A few years ago Delta Airlines offered surprise getaway fares; every week about midweek the airline would publish a list of destinations and absurdly low prices." (Jonathan Ramsey, Luxist.com) "Over the past year or two, at least a half-dozen sites have been launched that bring the designer sample sale concept online." (Carolyn Bigda, David Futrelle, Amanda Gengler, Ismat Sarah Mangla, and George Mannes, Money Magazine) "Visits to a custom category of 17 websites offering Online Flash Sales increased 235% year-over-year for the week ending April 24, 2010." (Heather Dougherty, Hitwise Weblog)
"The Password is membership." (Michelle Higgins, The New York Times) "While numerous sites swear numerous oaths about being the finest in sybaritic escapes, as is always the case in these matters, only a few have a worthy insider's eye on luxury destinations. What's more, some of them offer insider deals so you can do more with your time away — or maybe do less and feel better about it." (Jonathan Ramsey, Luxist.com) "The urgency and limited quantities are supposed to stoke desire, and it's working. Welcome to the sport of private online flash sale shopping." (Booth Moore, Los Angeles Times) "But hurry — inventory is limited so check upcoming destinations and pick your preferred days before the sale begins." (Ann Hynek, FOXBusiness.com)
"Hotels like the private sales, which because of the membership requirement, generally don't appear in online searches or aggregator sites. This helps maintain the idea of a velvet rope around the deals." (Michelle Higgins, The New York Times)
"Everybody loves a deal, and the emergence of several deal-centric luxury travel websites suggests that affluent people -- or those who just like to travel that way -- are no exception." (Sally Horchow, Los Angeles Times' More for your Money) "Customers like belonging to an exclusive group, and when offered a special deal via a limited-time event, the experience becomes even more exclusive and exciting. The events only run for a limited time and each event has limited inventory, so it is first-come, first-serve." (Adam Michelson, Optaros, in Ecommerce Times) "Online private sales is a growing business model that is rapidly becoming a staple of online shopping. (They) are quickly gaining millions of users each and attracting significant amounts of venture funding." (Leena Rao, TechCrunch.com)
"It's official! Travel 'sample sales' are now a thing."(JetSetCD, Jaunted.com) "Looking for a hot deal on a hip hotel or luxury resort? What are you waiting for — an invitation?" (Rob Lovitt, MSNBC.com)

What People are Saying
I received my 220 J-Pole today and installed it, and immediately started contacting people on the Condor Connection. I hit three of their repeaters, one ninety miles away, all with great signal reports. Thanks for the rapid delivery. Love the antenna, made getting on 220 easy. Thanks………JimJim Tank
Just wanted you to know how great I think your antennas are, first one I bought was the J-Pole,very good, then I bought a slim jim better yet,at 34ft.on top of my house, i can reach a repeater 90 to 100 miles away. Just ordered one more to put on a tower, will be around 47ft high, I expect to be able to reach further. Thanks KC9QPP.KC9QPP
I have been using a prototype of Michael's UHF Slim Jim antenna for about a year now. I am very pleased with it's performance, & the wide SWR spread between 440-470 mhz. I would recommend it to anybody who needs this type of antenna. GARY N4KVEGary, N4KVE
Mark, KC2OKNThanks, I received the J-Pole today! . . . I tested the J-Pole in my hand while hooked up to my VX-7R on 50mw of power. I was able to hit a repeater in Mt. Equinox, VT, 46 miles north east of me! Wow! Thanks again!
As a new Tech i wanted a 2m/70cm set up for as little money as possible. I bought a Chinese Anytone AT-588UV and the Slim Jim antenna. . . The performance is so good that I can hit repeaters 75+ miles away with "full quieting" signal reports, of course the repeaters are at 8,000+ feet and the greater Phoenix, AZ Valley is propagation friendly, but still, the Slim Jim is an amazing performer. Well done KB9VBR!KG7FDW
I just wanted to say thank you very much. The antenna is great and I can now reach repeaters farther than I ever expected. Some repeaters I thought were not active on my handheld I have found active now! My old antenna just could not reach.eBay Member Garrettautoparts
I thought Id let you know about my experience since I've owned your 2 meter jpole for a few months now. Tonight I had an APRS come through from your hometown of Wausau which is 244 miles from me and over the lake ! As my QTH is 20 miles north of Grand Rapids mi, it has performed well with satellites perfectly and have caught some amazing QSO's. Once again thanks for the great piece of equipmentTyler
Sean ThompsonJust a quick note to tell you the [Slim Jim] antenna was installed and worked extremely well. A 25W landmobile portable set up as a base was able to be heard 28 miles from TX point on a handheld!! Farther ( by a lot) then we needed but proof that it gets out.
I'm pretty new to the whole scanner/HAM world and have been asking a lot of questions. Michael helped me out and gave spot on advice about the J-Pole antenna. With the Radio Shack 20-176 tuned to railroad frequencies I was able to get 15 miles of coverage. Using the J-Pole antenna I am now getting 40 to 45 mile radius and so much clearer!Dave S, Alexandria,KY
Art, KB3ZNLI've already favorably feedbacked you on e-Bay, but here is a better follow up. The J-Pole that I got from you works like gang-busters! I'm a very satisfied customer.I'm a very new ham, just setting up my shack and gear, and as of now I've been using a Yaesu hand-held. Putting it on the J-Pole made all the difference! Within the next week, I ought to have my base xcvr set up and we'll see how that goes.Thanks again for a good job well done!Art WadsworthKB3ZNL

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Minnesota Wild winger Jason Pominville picked up the NHL's First Star for the week ending Nov. 3.
Pominville potted four goals and totaled six points to tie for the NHL lead in both categories. He scored in each of Minnesota's three games during the week to help the team pick up four out of a possible six points.
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury earned the Second Star honor after posting a 3-0-0 mark with a 1.67 goals-against average on his way to becoming the first netminder to reach 10 wins this season.
Washington Capitals forward Jason Chimera matched Pominville with six points -- two goals, four assists -- in three games to take home Third Star honors.

I know it's really hard to say that I hope everyone's doing fine tonight when I know that our brothers and sisters in Leyte are suffering from the devastating aftermath of the super typhoon Yolanda.
It's depressing and unimaginable. And yet, it's very real.
But the good thing here is we can see and feel the Filipino spirit of bayanihan - Filipinos helping each other survive.
I sent M some clothes both mine and K's to give to the drop-off centers located in Bacolod City. Earlier this afternoon, my colleagues initiated a gathering of in-kind donations at the Rural Health Unit of our municipality. I am also grateful to know that other countries are extending their hand to us. I hope those who are gravely affected will recover as soon as possible.
Another storm is coming, and this time our area is listed under the Signal No. 1. I'm leaving everything up to God. He is in control, He still is. Isn't that comforting?
The storm has once obeyed him when He was with His disciples in the boat on that rough sea. Let's just have faith in Him. Faith is something that we shouldn't lose in times like this.
Tomorrow, our barangay health station will start the 3-day training course known as Mothers' Class. We don't have much to spend for this activity but I leave everything up to God. I will do my best to find for means to provide for everyone during this activity. The rest will be up to Him.
We will also be leaving for Cebu on Friday. But it's not a tour. We're going to attend the burial of my grandmother who lost it against pneumonia at the age of 94.
I agree that this can be considered a timely death, but the fact remains that an important person in my life and holds a treasured part in my memory is already gone.
That scares me.
Because I feel I need to be a lot tougher than who I was when they're around.
It's like in the song...
We're the ones who are next in line...
Now I'm missing her. I'm missing how she cooked! She's the best cook of homegrown vegetables. She loved us so much and yet, I didn't make to visit her when she's still alive.
I have regrets. I have regrets.

FORT WAYNE – For once, the polite silence was ruffled, and there was an energetic murmur as the modest-sized gallery shuffled from the eighth green to the ninth tee at Pine Valley Country Club on Monday.
The Kid and The Champ, separated by five strokes just four holes earlier, were now only a shot apart as they stood on the 390-yard, par-4 No. 9 tee.
Mitch Rutledge, the 19-year-old who set the first round of the Men's City Golf Tournament on fire with an 8-under 63, had lost the lead and then some over Sunday's second round, and briefly into Monday, to two-time defending champion Scott Pieri.
But when Rutledge birdied No. 8 and Pieri had a bogey-5, the Pieri margin that had been five shots after Monday's first four holes was now sliced to one.
And the game, as they say, was afoot.
Yet, to hush the murmur, to squelch the rally, and send him on his way to his third consecutive city title, that's about how close Pieri stuck his approach shot on No. 9 – about a foot.
Pieri made the birdie. Rutledge, within eight feet of one, didn't. And that is where the two parted company. Rutledge went on to bogey four straight holes on the back nine, and Pieri finished with eight pars and a birdie. And while Johnny Strawser, playing in the group ahead, got to 3-under and finished as the tournament runner-up, no one touched Pieri, who shot a final round 1-under 70 for a 54-hole total of 207.
Strawser finished three shots back at 210. Four-time champion Sam Till Jr., who began the day one shot behind Pieri and Rutledge, was third with a 211. Rutledge, a long hitter who searched for his short game Monday, had a final round of 76 for a 213 total.
So another one goes in the books for the 44-year-old Pieri. This one, in particular, belongs in the Fort Wayne Golf Association history book.
It is win No. 5, which puts him in heady company with 9-time winner Tom Kelley and the only other 5-time winner, Dave Schumaker.
Five is a huge number, Pieri said. It's a 90-year-old tournament, and there are two other guys who have won the same amount of tournaments I have won. That's a pretty neat thing to be a part of. Dave Schumaker's got five and Tom's (Kelley) got nine. And now I've got five. That's just staggering to me. That's such a big number.
Five appeared to be a big lead for Pieri early Monday, especially considering that he and Rutledge began the day tied. But as Rutledge had a bogey at No. 1 and double-bogey at No. 2, Pieri had back-to-back birdies on 3 and 4.
But when Pieri went into a three-bogeys-four-holes funk, Rutledge evened himself out and got to within the one shot at No. 8.
Up steps Pieri on No. 9, and up steps Pieri.
Nine righted the ship for me, he said.
That's when he hit the birdie-3. But five is still a big number.

How to fart on an airplane
Yes, I'm going there.
We've all been on a plane when we get that whiff of air we wish we had never taken in. It's not pretty. Quite frankly, I've smelt some beyond nasty smells on an airplane. Simply put, farts on an airplane are not fair to passengers who are confined in a cramped seat with nowhere to go. They're stuck there, left to breathe in that awful smell with no air fresheners around.
I hope this little entry will educate other fliers on how to break wind without breaking other passenger's nostrils.
So what do you do if you have to fart?
The most obvious answer would be to go to the lavatory and let one rip.
But what if you can't?
There are circumstances in which passengers cannot get up to go to the restroom - seat belt sign on, turbulence, a snoring passenger blocking your way out, plane taking off, or preparing to land, etc. - but there are ways to let your stinker go without torturing everyone else around you. And you can do it without making it incredibly obvious. Sneaky stinkies!
It's called the cabin air system and it's right above your head. Yeah, that round nozzle thing that spews out air! What you may not know is this simple system can save you and your passengers a lot of trouble and embarrassment.
If you have to blow your backdoor trumpet, turn the air above you on full speed and aim it towards your crotch. This is generally the area where your gas is going to seep out from. You don't have to keep the air on high for the entire flight, but a good minute before and after your release should do the trick. If you're gassy the entire flight, for the sake of everyone around you, just keep it on.
Why does this work? It disperses the smell faster than it would if you didn't turn the air on. So instead of getting a huge nose-full of heinous gas, the people around you will only get a tiny drift of it and probably won't notice. Sure, they may get a slight hint of flatulence but it won't linger because the air stream from above has dissipated it.
So there you go. There are no more excuses!
And remember, while you may enjoy the smell of your own fart, think about the other innocent people around you. You wouldn't want someone next to you leaving a SBD (silent but deadly) one for you to inhale.
Fly safe and fart on.

I bought this blade as a gift for my father, he has a [...] constractor saw. Overall the blade is not bad but it does have a tendancy to flex lateraly, while cutting 3/4 or thicker hardwoods, leaving noticable saw marks that require jointing. While it is easier for the saw to power this blade and it provides acceptable results, i would not recommend it for use on a cabinet saw. I have sevearl other brands (full Kerf) of blades that cost slightly more but provide much better performance and have thicker carbide teeth.

Cam Newton
Greg Olsen Gives The Carolina Panthers A Proven Receiving Threat
The Carolina Panthers cut the face of the franchise, Steve Smith, and let the only other three wide receivers on the roster that caught a pass last season leave as free agents. Tight end Greg Olsen is the only proven receiver returning from last season's squad. Olsen should be Cam Newton's favorite target this season.
Fantasy Football: Top 10 NFL Quarterbacks To Draft
It's a poorly-kept secret that the Seattle Seahawks don't mind taking a penalty flag or two for pass interference or defensive holding in exchange for five or six no-calls on borderline plays. Supposedly, the NFL will be cracking down on physical play in the defensive backfield. If true-and that's a big if-it could mean even bigger numbers for the quarterbacks.

A Look Back At An Impressive 2013 For Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers really weren't even expected to contend for a playoff spot this season, but they surpassed all expectations and then some. Unfortunately, a team they got the better of during the regular season got the better of them in the playoffs.
Kaepernick Lifts 49ers Over Panthers 23-10

Ron Rivera Has It Wrong: Pressure Is On Panthers, Not 49ers
When Panthers Coach Ron Rivera said that he felt the team under the most pressure this week will be San Francisco he was dead wrong. Not only is his team the one that HAS to win this game, if he really believes that the Panthers are playing with house money he is setting his team up for failure.
Panthers Severely Lacking In Playoff Experience As They Prepare For Niners
The Carolina Panthers have not been to the playoffs since 2008. The upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers will mark just the fifth time in franchise history that the Panthers have been to the playoffs, and that means the team is severely lacking in playoff experience.
49ers Want Payback In Rematch With Carolina Panthers
Up next for the 49ers are the Carolina Panthers. Although the Panthers came to Candlestick earlier this season and beat San Francisco, the 49ers are the better team and have a very good shot at winning their second straight road playoff game.
Carolina Panthers Focused, Intimidating For First Playoff Game In Years
The Carolina Panthers have had an extra week off to prepare for their first playoff game in years, but they haven't taken the time off from preparing. They have been focusing on whichever team they may face and they are looking to be a team that is not only good, but one that is feared.
Panthers Need To Focus On Their Opponent, Not Themselves
The Carolina Panthers have a first-round bye in the upcoming playoffs and they have an extra week to prepare for whatever team may end up facing them in Bank of America Stadium. Cam Newton recently said that they don't care who their opponent is, but the key to winning is forgetting about egos and focusing on their opponent.
Newton Needs Panthers Players To Step Up
The Carolina Panthers had to win the last game of the season to get the NFC South title and a first-round bye so it's not like it was a time they could rest their players. Steve Smith had to sit out with an injury, and there were not a lot of other options for Cam Newton to rely on, but there need to be.
Presto Chango: Panthers Turn Awful 2013 Start Into First-Round Playoff Bye
The Carolina Panthers started off the season with a 1-3 start, and were tied with the Atlanta Falcons for second place. It wasn't a second place that was even close to the NFC South-leading New Orleans Saints, but the rest of the season proved to turn out completely different.

" Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1100 - DVB-T receiver / analogue TV tuner / video input adapter - PCI - SECAM, PAL-B/G, PAL-I, PAL-K, PAL-D "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Review written in 2007 - using software version 3.3c
The specification of Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1100 is impressive. But does it live up to its claims?
The card has both an analogue and digital tuner (Freeview). The spec says you can record programmes and also has a FM Radio (not DAB radio).
Also, beware if you want to enjoy Digital TV, you must have a good reception with a quality roof aerial (better outdoor rather then indoor). Even if you can get Freeview in your living room, does not mean that your TV reception willnot be effected by the interference generated by your PC.
This is a great product, but let down by WinTV 2000 software. I know that people who have bought this TV Card, do end up buying third party software.
Although Hauppauge do update their software, it is in minor increments but nothing short of a radical improvment is needed.
The Digital picture quality is great (freeview), if you don't change channels but if you like channel surfing this this is is not the product for you. (you are better off with a external box)
Also, I wanted to use the card to convert my old videos to digital, but I have second thoughts.... I doubt the software will cope!
You can buy third party applications TV applications, but it is question of waiting until they support the HVR-1100. Many of these company are in the US, so don't suport UK cards as first choice. There is freeby program GB-PVR, which was much better then WinTV 2000....
WinTV Software Problems:-
- TV channel changing is slow
- Digital TV channel don't line up channels as per Freeview box
- TV Recording will slow machine down
- No Teletext (Analogue or Digital)
- EPG (this is a separate program) and pretty shoddy
- Would like to see weeks EPG and then pick and choose program to record.
- No autodetect for picture size e.g. 4:3 16:9 etc..
- analogue channel will not tune to video recorder
- software not intuitive
- Will not pick up analogue channels
- Some digital channels not picked up - sensitive to reception problems even in good reception areas
- Snapshot is quirky
- One Touch Pause - not very usuable
- does slow machine down (my old TV Wonder card, was less intensive).
To be honest, I am thinking about reverting to my trusty old ATI TV Wonder card (and then using an external digital Freeview box with TV Sender...).
I have read reviews on some other digital tuners and they seem lacking too! (e.g. MSI card).
My advice wait until technology improves....
Also, not sure if Dual Core PC, can allow one processor for TV and another for other things.
If you do get a program the Hauppague Forum is excellent.

Valdosta- Drivers from around the country are touring Georgia to raise money for charity.
66-members of the Packard Club drove their 30 classic cars from as far away as Michigan.
Some of the cars, which date back to the early 1900's, are the only ones of their kind left in the world.
They've been touring South Georgia for the past week showing off their cars and raising money for the Colquitt County Arts Center.
"We only raise money for charity, we don't raise money for anything else and we try if possible to raise money for smaller charities," says Keith Tribe, one of the tour organizers.
Their tour will end Saturday night with a 40's era fundraiser at the Sunset Country Club in Moultrie.
It will include an auction with some packer gifts as well as entertainment from a 20 piece Glenn Miller Swing Band Orchestra.

NEW YORK – This Easter, Wal-Mart Stores aired a television commercial promoting its Ad Match Guarantee. In it, an exuberant clerk touted the policy's benefits to a shopper named Janette from Lithonia, Ga.
That price? he said, pointing to an advertising circular the woman had brought in. Wal-Mart will match it right at the register. Yeah, and you don't even need your ad!
Price matching has become a key tactic for retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target and Toys R Us as they try to attract shoppers amid an uneven U.S. recovery.
Price matching is a necessary evil today because once one retailer offers it, others are almost inevitably forced to follow, said Allen Adamson, a managing director at Landor Associates, a San Francisco-based brand consulting firm.
But it's a risky strategy because the programs are difficult to manage – discretion to match or not is often left to store workers – and shoppers can complain if they don't get the deal they're expecting.
In February, Toys R Us agreed to review its ad strategy after a consumer complained to an industry watchdog that workers didn't understand how the price-matching policy worked. At Wal-Mart, according to interviews with workers and shoppers, the Ad Match Guarantee is inconsistently applied from store to store.
Robin Sherk, an analyst at research firm Kantar Retail, said Wal-Mart is especially vulnerable because its lower-income customers are more likely to price-match than Target shoppers.
Shoppers can get confused, she said. They go to different stores and there are different policies – even in the same store, if you go to different cashiers.
Wal-Mart spokeswoman Deisha Barnett said it's unfortunate that some stores aren't following the rules.
Based on data that is representative of stores across the country, it's not a national problem, she said.

Generally speaking couples hire me because they love the spontaneity and emotion that lies at the heart of my wedding photography. My main objective at any wedding is capture those special, poignant moments that pop up all the time.
But normally even couples looking for super-natural photos also want some group shots. I'm of course happy to do posed photos and aim to give them a twist and bit of elegance.
So when the families of Maluke and Edu lined up after the ceremony at Hotel Marqués de Riscal, Elciego, Basque Country, the first thing I did was move them around. I don't want straight lines of people looking face on at the camera. I'm looking for small groups within a group – couples, for example – and move some forwards and other back to give depth to the image.
Moving people gives me a chance to interact with the people, crack a joke, and generally warm them up. It could provoke a smile or, like in the second photo below, two of Maluke's sisters lift a leg. Simple, subtle, not too forced.
There are more photos from the wedding at Hotel Marqués de Riscal in this gallery.
