Johnny Manziel, otherwise known as "Johnny Football," felt invincible after becoming the first freshman ever to win the Heisman Trophy. However, from that point on everything seems to have gone downhill for "Johnny Football" as he is now under constant scrutiny from the press.
Here is the series of events:
- He sent angry tweets from courtside seats at a Mavs/Heat game, which he directed towards his online critics.
- Photos of him partying and gambling surfaced on Instagram.
- He sent more angry tweets expressing the desire to leave his college town.
- He was too hungover to attend the QB challenge at Manning's Passing Academy.
- Most recently, Manziel has been under fire for receiving payments for his autographs.
So, what's wrong with the best quarterback in college football making money for jotting his signature down on a piece of paper? Well, it's against the long established and seldomly modified NCAA rules.
The NCAA rules state that players cannot receive monetary compensation for anything while they participate in an NCAA sport. However, players are making billions of dollars for the NCAA and their respective colleges. Specifically, Texas A&M made $37 million off of Manziel last year.
Is it time for the rules to change?
Fans expressing their opinions on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook overwhelming believe that it is time for the NCAA to change the rules and compensate players fairly. In fact, a FOX Sports Contributor polled his Twitter followers and 95% of them said that Manziel should not be penalized for the financial compensation he received for his autographs.
Furthermore, this is not the only case to surface recently that has exposed NCAA players for receiving forms of compensation that violate the NCAA rules. Back in 2010 the NCAA brought sanctions against USC for bribing Reggie Bush and his family with gifts so that he would play there. Later that year, 5 players on the Ohio State football team had sanctions brought against them for receiving free tattoos and selling their jerseys and championship rings.
Overall, it is clear that fans are more focused on what they believe to be the absurdity of the NCAA rules rather than the players' actions themselves. Nearly 100% of fans do not believe Manziel should be deemed ineligible because he made money from selling his autographs. Perhaps this will be the case to motivate the NCAA to change their rules and finally adapt to the times.
Grand Slam: | ˈɡræn(d) ˈˌslæm | Baseball – a home run hit when each of the three bases is occupied by a runner, thus scoring four runs.
The first grand slam was hit by Roger Connor of the Troy Trojans on September 10th, 1881. Until recently, admired New York Yankee Lou Gehrig (1923-39) held the record for most career grand slams at 23 total. Fellow Yankee Alex Rodriguez tied the record in June of 2012. If Rodriguez receives a lifetime ban for his involvement in a recent performance enhancing drug scandal, the record will unlikely be broken anytime soon.
Ah, the Seventh Inning Stretch – a welcomed pause during a baseball game's seventh inning half. It is a time for fans to move around and stretch their legs, possibly dance a little, and prepare for the remaining innings. There is much debate as to the origins of the famous Seventh Inning Stretch. Popular folklore indicates President Taft may have started the trend. When attending a game in 1910, the obese President found it difficult to remain seated for the duration of the event so he rose to stretch during the seventh inning half. This act prompted the stadium to follow suite out of courtesy. President Taft was known for spending more time at baseball games than he spent running the country.
An alternative explanation for the origin of this tradition comes from a manuscript that dates back to 1869. Harry Wright of the Cincinnati Red Stockings described the fans taking a break that sounds very similar to the infamous Seventh Inning Stretch. Wright wrote, "The spectators all arise between halves of the seventh inning, extend their legs and arms and sometimes walk about. In so doing they enjoy the relief afforded by relaxation from a long posture upon hard benches."
Whether President Taft started the tradition or not baseball fans a cross the country will continue to enjoy the breath of fresh air that accompanies this seventh inning tradition.
Back in 2009, Mark Sanchez was a hot commodity. He was swooped up in the first round of the NFL draft by the New York Jets as the fifth overall draft pick with only one QB selected before him. The year before he went to the NFL he led USC to a Rose Bowl Championship victory and was named the game's MVP. Sanchez and Roethlisberger are the only QBs in NFL history to lead their teams to consecutive conference championship games their first 2 years in the league.
So, what happened last season?
If you followed the NFL last year, you more than likely know what Sanchez is now remembered most for. It isn't the fact that he was the top ranked quarterback in the nation coming out of high school, or that he holds a Jets franchise record for most postseason victories by a QB. It is for his "butt fumble."
The infamous "butt fumble" occurred on Thanksgiving night when the Jets played the New England Patriots. Sanchez was scrambling with the ball and proceeded to run right into his lineman's buttocks and ended up on his back. The ball came loose and a defender scooped it up and scored a touchdown. I recommend clicking here to see a video of this classic play so you can develop full appreciation for the "butt fumble."
Aside from the "butt fumble," Sanchez struggled all season long and nearly had the worst season of his career. This upcoming season he faces stiff competition for his starting QB position from Geno Smith who the Jets selected in the second round of this year's NFL draft. To add to this tension, Mark Sanchez hosted a voluntary training camp called "Jets West" in Southern California that Smith chose not to attend.
Despite this, Geno Smith said that he and Sanchez are "cool" and that there are no hard feelings between them. The Jets have started talking about using Smith for a read-option package this season and as of now, Sanchez still believes that he will be the Jet's starting QB. No one knows what the future holds, but it will be interesting to see if Sanchez can redeem himself this season and overcome the "butt fumble" legacy.
With 51 wins and 30 losses, the Pittsburgh Pirates, had the best record in baseball at the beginning of July. However, within the last week they lost that top spot, but never forgot how difficult it was to get there in the first place. One would think that this would generate waves of euphoria across Pittsburgh and drive hordes of fans into the bleachers.
Not so.
Despite their fantastic season thus far, those poor Pirates can't catch a break. In the tally for National League attendance, the Pirates are almost in last place ranking fourteenth out of fifteen teams. Simply put, fans won't go to games. As this Yahoo article notes, one can't blame them. They've been burned too many times.
However, where there's a will there's a way. If the Pirates can't fill the seats by winning, they might try hosting Italian fight football, or calcio fiorentino, during the 7th inning stretch.
The concept of fight football is simple. Two teams try to score a point by kicking or throwing a ball over a certain spot on the field. Innocent enough, right? There's more. Each team has twenty seven guys who all look as if they were previously employed by Bane from The Dark Knight Rises. There are very few rules and players can use just about any form of violence to win. Essentially, it's a prison riot with a ball thrown into the middle of it. You can watch the latest 2013 match here.
I'm sure this would be an easy event to organize for a quick 7th inning stretch during a Pirates game. If this doesn't get fans into the stands, then the Pirates must just have to do something drastic and win a World Series.
Although the above footage might be seen as silly and just one of many funny sports videos on the Internet, the Italians, take their fight football seriously. Similarly, at Prediculous we also take our games very seriously, so check them out here!
People like to create and invent things by stretching their imaginations and thinking outside the box. I'm sure that even in their beginnings football, basketball, soccer and rugby were all considered unusual and unique. But what about chess boxing? Or how about underwater hockey? Even better, imagine toe wrestling. Here we will look at five unusual sports you quite possibly have never heard of, or maybe even never wanted to.
Chess isn't just for brainiacs anymore. Add in boxing and you have a true contact sport that can combine the mind and fists. Chess boxing was created in 1992 by a French filmmaker and comic artist. The sport is quite popular in Berlin and London and there is even a World Chess Boxing organization. The game consists of eleven rounds, beginning with a four minute round of chess followed by five minutes of boxing after a rest period. Apparently you need a rest period after that taxing chess battle round to psyche yourself up for the beating you are about to take.
Dog dancing is truly a sport for man and his best friend. Beginning around the late 1980's, dog dancing takes agility to the next level. The two main forms in this sport are heeling and musical canine freestyle. Heeling is more popular with the English and consists of a dog being taught staying command variations of heel positions while the handler dances. Americans, on the other hand, are all about crazy costumes and do more freestyle. Freestyle is a mix of obedience training, tricks and dance. Imagine a man and his dog dressed in overalls and wigs doing some variation of line dancing along with a few crazy tricks done by the dog. Time to get your beloved pup up off their dog bed and moving!
Underwater hockey, or octopush, may not sound quite as unique as dog dancing, but there is some definite skill involved. Invented in England in the 50's, this sport is all about lung endurance and speed. Using snorkel gear, hats, gloves, and a short hockey-like stick, six members of each team battle it out to get the puck from one side of the pool into their opponent's goal. Honestly, while it would be an experience to watch with an underwater camera, how exactly do you see much from watching in the stands?
Eukonkanto is defined as wife carrying in Finnish and I can only imagine this sport got started from people longing for the caveman days. It is believed that this sport originated in the 1800's when a certain thief was known to carry off goods and women from villages. Eukonkanto is played by carrying a wife through an obstacle course bedecked with fences, water hazards and sand areas. This "wife" can be your own, or she can be borrowed from another man. If she weighs less than the required amount she must carry an extra 49 kilogram weight. Therefore, don't think going small and skinny is necessarily the best bet. In this sport it is all about the fastest time and which of the various carrying options you choose. These options include piggyback, fireman's carry, or even Estonian, which is when she is upside down over your back with her legs wrapped around your head and her hands around your waist. My advice is if you are married, use your own wife.
Lastly, there is toe wrestling. Clean, fungus free toes only please. Toe wrestling began in the 1970's and is popular in the United Kingdom. It is similar to arm and thumb wrestling and the courteous thing to do before combat is to remove each other's shoes and socks. Participants link toes, keep their feet flat together, and try to pin their opponent's foot for three seconds. There are a maximum of three rounds and the competitors start round one using their right foot and then alternate feet each subsequent round. This is a sport that "bans all stimulants but alcohol." I'm still waiting for tips on how to beef up my toes.
If you like these ideas, keep checking out Prediculous for more sports fun.
For those playing in "he's a talented player that is smart and works hard" office sports pools, the winning number is three. New England Patriots head coach, Bill Belichick, used that phrase to describe Tim Tebow three times and he had little else to say beyond that. In fact, we were beginning to wonder if all the questions would get that response and not just the ones about Tebow.
"So Tim Tebow, huh?"
"He's a talented player that is smart and works hard."
"Are you concerned about his quarterback skills?"
"He's a talented player that is smart and works hard."
"Okay, well, what are you thinking about getting for lunch."
"Lunch is a talented player that is smart and works hard."
This may seem like an insult to other players who will actually be starting on opening day, but this may be a very shrewd move. Tebowmania is fueled by two things: exposure to the media and quarterback controversies. Making him a "star" fixes the first problem, and now that he's with New England, the second problem is done, as the Patriots will only have a quarterback controversy when Tom Brady decides to retire. We can't imagine anyone is going to be yelling "unleash the Tebow" while Tom Brady is still healthy. Or mostly healthy. Or still has all his limbs attached to his body and can be propped up to throw.
We'd like to note that, much like Tebow, we too are talented players that are smart and work hard, at least when it comes to the next generation of social games. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
It's funny that when guys are living the care-free life associated with being single and existing in a "bachelor pad," all the cool sports pictures seem to fittingly adorn the living area, the bedroom, maybe even the bathroom. In my opinion, nothing suits a bathroom wall quite like a movie still of Bill Murray planting a stick of dynamite down a gopher hole from Caddyshack (to heck with Rocky, this is THE Greatest Sports Movie of all time, but alas, that's a blog for another day).
Inevitably, once we find true love and our significant other moves in, pretty much the first thing that changes in our bachelor's paradise is that the previously mentioned "cool sports pictures" get relegated to the basement, which we then comfort ourselves by attempting to embrace such a demotion by affectionately calling it "ManTown" (also commonly referred to as a "Man Cave").
So, what graces the presence of your Man Cave's walls? May I suggest an eclectic blend of the ludicrously funny (see previous mention of Bill Murray) to the seriously awesome: 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team. "Do You Believe in Miracles? Yes!" It was all downhill for Al Michaels from there if you ask me.
Throw in some local favorites. If you're from Boston maybe have Carlton Fisk jumping in the air from the 1975 World Series. If you're from Chicago, pick any one of thousands of Michael Jordan moments. If you're from Cleveland…move to Boston or Chicago, or maybe try a different pastime. I hear excellent things about Civil War reenactments.
Whatever you do, spare us all of any sort of graphic injury pictorials. Nobody wants to see Joe Theisman's leg hanging like a piece of angel hair in the breeze, or a fiery NASCAR crash while they're hanging out in your ManTown! What they do want, however, is an escape to this bachelor's paradise despite how transient the trip may be because of the passion that brings all fans together, sports.

One of the many great things about baseball is that you can see something new every time you go to the ballpark or turn on the TV. The game has a certain unpredictable nature about it where you never know what you will see or learn. You could witness a record setting performance from a player or team, or even see the enforcement or failure to enforce a rule that you never even knew existed. Record setting performances are especially significant because Major League Baseball has a much longer history than other American professional sports, while at the same time playing many more games per season. MLB celebrated its 100-year anniversary in 1969 and its 125th in 1994. In my opinion, this is a bit misleading because what they were actually celebrating was the anniversary of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, who were founded in 1869. The National League was founded a few years later in 1876 while the American League dates back to 1901.
Four things happened on June 5th 2013 that had never happened before in Major League history. Three of these took place during a matinee game in Seattle where the Mariners squared off against the White Sox. The two teams were the definition of offensive futility playing 13 scoreless innings until a record setting 14th. In the top half of the 14th inning the White Sox finally broke out the bats and put 5 runs on the board. Instead of packing it in and calling it a day, the Mariners responded with 5 runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning and were propelled by a Kyle Seager game tying grand slam. The White Sox went on to win 7-5 in 16 innings but the 14th inning was the source of baseball history. With information provided by the Elias Sports Bureau, the Mariners sports information department declared that:
1) Kyle Seager was the first player in MLB history to hit a game tying grand slam in extra innings
2) The Seattle Mariners were the first team in MLB history to score 5 runs in the 14th inning or later to tie a game
3) This was the first game in MLB history where each team scored at least 5 runs after going scoreless for the first 9 innings
The fourth piece of history took place in Cincinnati later that evening when the Reds hosted the Rockies. The game was a blowout as the Rockies pounded the Red's pitching, blasting 6 home runs en route to a 12-4 victory. Troy Tulowitzki went 5-5 with 2 home runs, while teammate Carlos Gonzalez went 3-5 with 3 home runs, one of which was a 476-foot blast that to this point is the longest MLB home run of 2013. According to MLB Network, never before in MLB history has one player hit 3 home runs in a game while his teammate went 5-5 and hit 2 home runs. It wasn't even the first historically significant accomplishment of Tulowitzki's career because on May 29th 2007 in his rookie season he turned the 13th unassisted triple play in MLB history and is now just one of 15 players to have accomplished that feat.
It is clear that there is a never-ending list of things that could possibly happen on any given day. Part of the reason for this is the laundry list of rules applied to baseball, many of which are complex in nature. Excluding the indexes, the 2013 MLB rulebook has 122 pages of regulations, which is extensive compared to just 95 and 57 for the NFL and NBA respectively. Due to the combination of complex rules and the fact that every park in baseball is unique in its dimensions and the way it plays, it is reasonable to assume you will witness some unexpected things while at a game. A seemingly normal game may take a twist or turn that nobody could have possibly foreseen. So, next time you think about leaving a blowout early or changing the channel because it seems as if neither team will ever score a run, I recommend you think twice because you could end up missing MLB history.
If you've ever wanted to manage your own baseball team or coach your own football team then fantasy sports are a perfect fit for you!
How to manage a Fantasy Sports team
Fantasy sports are like managing the All-Star team for any given sport every day of the season. There's no other place that you could have a Triple Crown winner, a Gold Glove Award winner and a Cy Young pitcher all on the same team! If you think managing a sports team filled with All-Stars will be easy, think again. Fantasy sports take time and strategy to figure out whom to draft, whom to start and possible trades that could be beneficial to both teams.
Fantasy Sports Scoring
When it comes to scoring your fantasy sports team against an opponent there are a couple of different ways your league can decide to compete. ESPN gives a great overview of Head-to-Head leagues vs. Rotisserie leagues in an article titled Fantasy World: The Debate Begins. In a head-to-head league you are playing against another team for a specified time period, which is usually one week long. During the week your team will gather statistics determined by the league manager at the beginning of the season. If your team leads in a given category at the end of your matchup week, your team receives a point for that category. At the end of the matchup week the points are totaled for the head-to-head matchup and your wins and losses are tracked in the overall league standings.
We hope that this article got you excited to manage your own fantasy sports team! For any additional questions you may have, or to find out about new games and opportunities that Prediculous has to offer, please feel free to contact us.

The NHL playoffs are heating up as the Stanley Cup contenders are being separated from the pretenders. Once their teams reach the conference finals fans allow themselves to think ahead to what could be a championship season. In my opinion, the Stanley Cup, which is awarded annually to the champion of the NHL, is the greatest championship trophy in North American sports. The NFL's Lombardi trophy, NBA's Larry O'Brien Championship trophy, and MLB's Commissioner's trophy are awarded annually, however they are reproduced and new versions of the trophies are handed out each and every year. There is only one Stanley Cup (actually there are three but that is a long story and this is the only one currently in use). The names of the players, coaches, and front office are engraved on the trophy and the winning team is then allowed to posses it for one year until it is passed on to the next champion. History is literally engraved on the trophy. Everyone involved in winning a Stanley Cup title becomes immortal as their name is displayed on the trophy itself or in the Hockey Hall of Fame (the cup cannot keep growing larger and larger).
Since it is not reproduced the Stanley Cup is treasured by players and fans more than any other trophy and has been granted celebrity status. It travels North America making appearances (like an athlete or celebrity would) where fans can see it in person and have their picture taken alongside it. The cup is so important it has two trustees that serve at its keeper and protector at all times. Nine men have been given this honor since 1893 and all have served as its keeper until their death, upon which the surviving trustee named the others replacement (talk about an exclusive fraternity—statistically it is easier to be elected president of the United States).
Since the club is not allowed to hold onto their prize forever, players and staff from the championship team are each given one day to do what they please with the cup and create some memories (a tradition the 1994 New York Rangers are credited with starting). You can only imagine the places it has been, things it has done, and debauchery it has witnessed over 19 years. It is rumored that some players have used the cup to baptize their children. Others (allegedly Clark Gillies and Sean O'Donnell) have even let their dogs join in on the fun and eat out of the cup. Scott Parker from the 2001 Colorado Avalanche had a custom platform built on the back of his motorcycle so that he could cruise around with it mounted behind him. Those are just a few of the PG examples of things players have thought of.
I think it would be fun for a team to reward a small group of die-hard fans with their own day to celebrate with the cup. After all, they are spending increasingly absurd amounts of money as well as their time to support the team. Why shouldn't they share in the ultimate prize? I thought of some ideas but I'm sure every hockey fan has a few of their own. I guess I would have to decide between:
- taking it skydiving
- water skiing
- surfing
- mountain climbing (oh what a metaphor)
- ice fishing
- crowd surfing at a concert
- or having it as the best man at my wedding
I could also imagine a steady flow of free drinks headed my way if I were to take it to my local watering hole. It might be fun to strap it to the roof of my car like an old mattress and drive around town just to see the looks on people's faces. Panhandling on the exit ramp of the interstate to see if anyone would actually drop money into it could also be fun. Perhaps keeping it simple spending the whole day in bed watching movies, cuddling, and telling the cup how much it means to me would suffice. What would you do if you had a day with the Stanley Cup?

The argument designated hitter debate is often painted as an argument between baseball purists, those who prefer an old-school version of the game, and so called new-school fans that see an opportunity for the game to evolve to be a more entertaining product. Among die-hard fans the DH is no less controversial today than when it was first instituted in the American League in 1973.
The two sides have long been at a stale mate, but the move of the Houston Astros from the NL Central division to the AL West this past off-season has changed the nature of the debate and potentially the game. Interleague play was introduced in 1997 requiring American League pitchers to step into the batters box for blocks of the schedule played in National League parks. These games were grouped together in the hopes that it would make the transition to playing another style of baseball easier. However, it is no longer possible to set aside a block of the schedule to play these games. The Astros move means there are now 15 teams in each league, requiring constant interleague play throughout the season.
This spring ESPN's Jayson Stark wrote an article proclaiming the inevitability of the institution of the DH in the National League as a result of the Astros move. The article pointed to growing support for the DH among baseball organizations as well as increasing popularity with fans. Baseball pundits such as MLB Network's Billy Ripken have, on many occasions, delivered extended rants on live television imparting a similar message. To quote Billy Ripken, "Nobody wants to see pitchers hit." These opinions raise many questions for me as a baseball fan. Why such certainty? If the desire is uniformity why doesn't baseball just get rid of the DH in the AL and make all pitchers hit, as was the custom for the majority of baseball's history? Most importantly, what would we be losing if the DH spreads to the NL?
For a manager in the AL managing a team could be compared to driving an automatic car while managers in the NL are driving stick shifts. There just is a lot more thought and action that goes into managing a National League team.
The simplification of the game might be good for attracting new fans and keeping fans with marginal baseball knowledge entertained, but it also runs the risk of alienating die-hard fans that enjoy thinking their way through a ballgame. In addition, there is something that is rarely acknowledged, which is the fact that some pitchers really can hit. Clayton Kershaw, Yovani Gallardo, Mike Leake, Carlos Zambrano, Micah Owings, and CC Sabathia are just a few names that come to mind when thinking of pitchers that have proven they truly can swing the stick in an entertaining fashion.
On the other side of the coin what would baseball gain by instituting the DH in both leagues? Sports franchises are businesses in the entertainment industry. Owners first and foremost want to make money, so it is in their best interest to put a compelling and entertaining product on the field. Major sports in America has already established the fact that offense = entertainment. The NBA and NHL have both adopted rules designed to increase scoring in the hopes of having an entertaining game that attracts more fans. Now it is baseball's turn to see what an adding extra 20 home runs or so to each NL lineup can do for baseball's popularity. After all, the steroid induced longball frenzy of the late 90's and early 2000's is often credited with saving our national pastime. Perhaps more offense could lead to another surge in popularity. The DH might also put owners a little more at ease with the absurd amount of money they invest in players. Nobody will have to worry about their new $100 million arm injuring themselves trying to do something that they are not paid to do. Remember when Daisuke Matsuzaka was, embarrassingly enough, ordered by the Red Sox not to swing at any pitch for any reason during his spring training plate appearances in his inaugural season with the team?
It has become evident that the debate that was for so long framed, as old school vs. new school is really a battle between the game of baseball and the business of baseball. Unfortunately, since money rules the world, the business side will be valued over the integrity of the game. It is just a matter of time.
Back when there wasn't a camera phone in every hand, classic moments like these were reserved for press conferences and miscues in the studio. Fortunately, for those of us who spend far too much time surfing you-tube or other video or sports related sites looking for this stuff, it happens much more frequently. Please enjoy three can't miss funny sports videos for the ages. If you haven't already seen them, run don't walk. If you have seen them, drop in the comments which videos we should add to the list.

- Odom joined Tech staff in 2003
- He's son of former Wake Forest coach
- Will Greenberg promote from within?
Greenberg now must decide whether to promote director of basketball operations Adrian Autry, a former all- Big East point guard at Syracuse, or hire a more established recruiter. Several are on the market.
For example, former Maryland assistant Dave Dickerson recently was fired as Tulane's head coach. Dino Gaudio, dismissed this month as Wake Forest's big whistle, is a renowned recruiter.
Another possibility: Former Virginia assistant and Boston University head coach Dennis Wolff, who interviewed with Greenberg last season after Stacey Palmore departed for the University of Georgia. That position went to another former Cavaliers assistant, Bill Courtney.
Odom, 35, is a Hampden-Sydney graduate and worked previously at American, UNC Asheville and Furman. His father, Dave, is a former head coach at East Carolina, Wake Forest and South Carolina.
Charlotte recently hired Major, a top assistant at Ohio State, to replace Bobby Lutz, whom the school fired after 12 seasons.

Hi there

I read something about that yesterday. But really, I doubt they will really close and forget about MSN, at most they will stop updating it, but I guess it will still function as normal. It would be really stupid to shut down THE instant messenger, by far the most widely known chat program since many years, while Skype remains largely unknown for many people.
The only good part is that Skype is technically years ahead of MSN, but since version 4 is becoming worse and even more since it was bought by MS.

text: Tumblr is my mobile comeback story of the year. They had a pretty atrocious mobile app experience for much too long. No more. In fact, I now prefer the mobile app experience to the web Tumblr dashboard experience. I am now in the app multiple times a day and posting more frequently. Even though it was born on the desktop web, mobile is a more natural home for it. It's not about sitting down and composing long posts, instead it's about sharing small nuggets of gold whenever and wherever it strikes you. Most products born in the desktop web are struggling to create compelling mobile experiences. Tumblr is one of the rare products made better by mobile. 1 year ago Comments Tagged: tech mobile tumblr 17 notes

International insurance ensures you will be covered for damage or accidents, according to the terms in the agreement, outside of the country of origin.
While international insurance may not be as common as insurance available on a national level, you do have options, and many insurers who offer coverage locally also have international plans. There are some things you may want to keep in mind as you search for insurance. Naturally the kind of coverage and the amount of coverage you want is always a consideration. In this instance you also want to keep in mind where you want to be covered, and whether the coverage should be specific to a handful or even only a couple countries, or if you want a plan that covers vehicles no matter where you go. Cost can vary and will depend on the normal variables like driving record, age, etc., in addition to the areas where you will be covered, the number of vehicles, and the type of vehicle.
Consider your options carefully prior to making a decision. Business.com provides links that may help in your search.

Anyone using Rogers Hi-Speed know whether a monthly cap is in place yet? I just started using the service, and I have already downloaded 4 gigs. I looked on their website, it says 'unlimited access', but Bell also says that on their website and they're no longer 'unlimited'. So, I am curious to know? (I really don't want to call customer service to ask them).-Tan
All I've heard is the cap should be in place by the end of the summer. I don't think call TS will do as it seems quite few salespeople aren't even sure.The problem with the "unlimited access" phrase is it has numerouse interpretations. I'll bet that Bell (and soon Rogers) takes it to mean that the users have unlimited access to the service, but more one uses it the more they charge. Kinda like long distance calls. We users think of it more in the line of unlimited uses period without any fancy word games. Each interprets to their own advantage.
I can "access" any car dealership in town, but I don't have unlimited "usage" of their automobiles, or even restricted "usage", for that matter .You are confusing "access" with "usage" (as in "broadband usage")
I love Rogers! It's the true gateway to God. Jesus loves Rogers.Rogers showed me the way! I was once lost, and now I'm found.Thank you Rogers HiSpeed.

DeBerry thanked veterans for their sacrifices to protect the United States during times of war and peace.
"We came to say we appreciate what you've done," he told veterans.
He wished Godspeed to all who will "come into the military and all our families touched by loss of life in Afghanistan and Iraq."
"We come not to judge any conflict or war but to say thank you," he said. "We salute those who gave their lives as well. God bless you."
Tate said Veterans Day started as Armistice Day which was set "the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th year after World War I." He spoke of a rising patriotism and unity in the United States.
"Last Tuesday (election day) was a prime example of that right - truly an historic event - of being a veteran and to express our patriotism. Too many times it's just vets honoring vets. But today we have a large gathering. Thank you."
McDonald expressed his joy at the drills performed by school children saying he participated in "many hours of drill and ceremony in the military."
A good definition of a veteran is "someone who wrote a blank check to the United States for an amount up to and including their lives."
McDonald served almost 24 years of military service including service in the Marine Corps and active duty in the U.S. Army and the Army Reserves.
Proud of his service to country he spoke of his beginnings in South Carolina, the son of a mother who attained a seventh grade education.
After seeing many racial fights in high school, McDonald said his first bunk mate was a white man.
"We learned a lot from each other," he said. "No matter what color of your skin, we learned we all have red blood. We all are one when it comes to defending this country. Freedom isn't free. These people gave their lives so we can be free today."
Applause followed McDonald's comments. Then he resumed speaking, saying the military is about "dedication, commitment and getting along and helping everybody and giving your best."
After retiring from the armed service, McDonald said he wondered what he would do with his life. He decided that recruiting would be the best way he could serve after spending two years in corporate America.
He met David Beckley, president of Rust College, in a shopping mall in Atlanta and Beckley invited him to come to work at Rust.
The program ended with Taps and the community enjoyed a reception and table of food prepared by Diane Greer and Mia Miller.

BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) As the Canalside project moves forward, two sides seem to have emerged. On one side, those pushing for the project to continue, including developers and the Erie County Harbor Development Corporation. The other, including some concerned community members, want to make sure that there is significant public good, and that public dollars aren't being wasted.
Community members and members of the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation met with City Council members Tuesday to discuss potential issues with Canalside.
Community members are pushing for a community benefit agreement, so that the public is satisfied moving forward. Developers and the ECHDC are looking for progress and for the project to move forward.
Andy Reynolds of the Coalition for Economic Justice attended the meeting. "We need to look at how we can make this a better project, and make sure it benefits the community. We need a way of ensuring that those visions are in fact outcomes," he said after the meeting.
Michael Weekes is the co-founder of the "Fandemoneum Museum," a potential Canalside business. "We tend to look at this as a glass is half full. It might not be a perfect plan but it is action taken towards bringing in dollars and jobs to the waterfront, Buffalo, and Erie County."
Both sides spoke of some compromise, and the importance of both satisfying the community while moving in the right direction towards development progress. Larry Quinn, representing the ECHDC, agreed to work out and present an agreement to the City Council by the end of the week.

Mila Kunis now has something in common with Michael Jackson besides at one time having a close relationship with Macaulay Culkin ... they both have a penchant for hanging out on balconies in the same hotel.
On Thursday, the "Friends with Benefits" star was spotted on a Hotel Adlon balcony in Berlin -- which is the same hotel where Michael infamously dangled his son Blanket back in 2002.
She's bad.
Thanks,Phantom of the Opera,and Smile =),beautiful memory
You are such a hypocrite. You are constantly bashing and passing judgment on Michael yet we all know you spend 90% of your time cruising fan sites and watching his videos.
You're not foolin anyone. gayfor loves him some MJ.
she's a terrible actress. usually z-list actresses are really terrible. i dunno who's worse mila kunis or natalie portman. their both equally horrible at acting. haha
Leave Michael jackson alone you bastard!
are you serious???Michael cant be compared to mila
Rest in peace Michael
we love u
i'm so happy that you cant read/listen to bad news about you anymore!
Why the majority out of here is interested only in Michael's gold trousers, gossips about his family and counts up his money, naming itself by Michael's fan. Michael was the comprehensively-developed interesting person
and not indifferent to destinies of unfortunate live beings. If you are indifferent-you are not Michael's fan. Help end bear farming!!!http://www.endbearfarming.org/en/spread-the-word.html
live michael a lone dant make fun of him
I recommend everyone listen to the songs of Michael "Little Susie". It shows the genius of Michael from the side that most moves.
I wanted to write from the side that is most touching.

College Girl: Nail Biters Anonymous, A Solution Awaits
"You're never going to get a boyfriend with nails like that," my roommate Melissa's psychology professor used to tell her. Ridiculous, I know. But living with her—a chronic nail biter—this summer has shown me that if there's any appropriate time to kick a bad habit to the curb, it's while you're still in school and before heading out into the real word.
Melissa has been biting for as long as she can remember, and she was once even hospitalized for a cuticle infection. She's tried a million different things to stop, including once wearing winter gloves year round. Needless to say, that did not work. I'm sure all other biters out there understand how frustrating and time-consuming it is to quit, so read on for classic solutions as well as a new method that's proven to be quite effective.
Because nail biting is such a psychological habit, one tried and true remedy is to find a distraction and keep your hands busy in other ways. Focus on leaving one nail alone for a few days, and once you see the progress with that one, move on to the next.
If setting mental goals for yourself isn't enough and you want to physically do something to your nails to stop biting, try Bite No More—it'll leave a horrible taste in your mouth that's nearly impossible to tolerate. Similarly, Burt's Bees Cuticle Cream makes picking at cuticles about as hard as going uphill on skis.
This summer I've seen Melissa re-apply artificial nails on a daily basis, and just watching this hour-long procedure wears me out. A temporary solution yes, but these plastic subs don't seem to stand a chance against her chompers, so our friend Amanda suggested long-lasting nail gels. The application normally cost upwards of $300 at a salon, but luckily a cheaper $80 alternative—Red Carpet Manicure—will be soon available at Ulta in September. With strong adhesive powers that will last for weeks, my bet is that this sturdy lacquer will be the final solution to Melissa's biting. Fingers crossed.
In the meantime, prepare with new polishes from our Birchbox Shop.

From A to B and Back Again | The Photography Blog
© Thomas Hoepker, 1964, Children of the Iban tribe, Borneo
Thomas Hoepker is among the most successful presentday German photographers. From 1964 to 1989 Hoepker worked for the magazine Stern; from 2002 to 2007 he was President of the Magnum Agency, whose full member he became in 1989 – the first German photographer to do so.
When he visited Borneo in 1964, the world's third-largest island was embroiled in a territorial conflict between Indonesia and Malaysia which was to continue until 1966. During this journey, the present photograph was taken, depicting children of the Iban tribe.
The twelve children are lined up on a steep stairway leading to a typical longhouse, in which an entire village usually lives together and which can be several hundred metres long. These stilt houses constructed of bamboo contain all the living, working and storage quarters. This photograph, like many of Hoepker's images, stands in the tradition of an involved style of reportage which is interested in people – a style which had its second heyday immediately after 1945.

© Unknown photographer, undated, Portrait of Totò
Prince Antonio Focas Flavio Angelo Ducas Comneno De Curtis di Bisanzio Gagliardi, best known by his stage name Totò and nicknamed il principe della risata ("the prince of laughter") was an Italian comedian, film and theatre actor, writer, singer and songwriter.
He is widely considered one of the greatest Italian artists of the 20th century. While he first gained his popularity as a comic actor, his dramatic roles, his poetry, and his songs are all deemed to be outstanding; his style and a number of his recurring jokes have become universally known memes in Italy.
Writer and philosopher Umberto Eco has thus commented on the importance of Totò in Italian culture:
"In this globalized universe where it seems that everyone's watching the same movies and eating the same food, there are still abysmal and overwhelming fractures separating one culture from another. How can two peoples, one of which unknowing of Totò, truly understand each other?"
© Thomas Hoepker, 1975, Erich Honecker poster in Neubaugebiet, Halle-Neustadt
In 1961, Erich Honecker, as the Central Committee secretary for security matters, was in charge of the building of the Berlin Wall. In 1971, he initiated a political power struggle that led, with Soviet support, to his becoming the new leader, replacing Walter Ulbricht as First Secretary of the SED Central Committee and as chairman of the National Defense Council. In 1976, he also became Chairman of the Council of State (Vorsitzender des Staatsrats der DDR) and thus the de facto head of state.
Under Honecker's leadership, the GDR adopted a programme of "consumer socialism," which resulted in a marked improvement in living standards already the highest among the Eastern bloc countries. More attention was placed on the availability of consumer goods, and the construction of new housing was accelerated, with Honecker promising to "settle the housing problem as an issue of social relevance." Yet, despite improved living conditions, internal dissent was not tolerated. Around 125 East German citizens were killed during this period while trying to cross the border into West Germany or West Berlin.
Magnum photographer Thomas Hoepker discusses 40 years spent chronicling life in strange, sad, vicious and sometimes hilarious East Berlin.
The Berlin Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin. It was officially referred to as the "Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart" by GDR authorities, implying that neighbouring West Germany had not been fully de-Nazified.
The West Berlin city government sometimes referred to it as the "Wall of Shame" while condemning the Wall's restriction on freedom of movement. Along with the separate and much longer Inner German border that demarcated the border between East and West Germany, both borders came to symbolize the "Iron Curtain" between Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc.
In 1989 a non-violent revolution overthrew the Communists. The Soviets refused to intervene, and the country soon reunited with West Germany and is now part of Germany.

Tulae's record moves to 3-0 for the first time since the 2003-04 season. Nicholls State falls to 1-2.
The Colonels led by as many as 12 points twice in the first half, at 16-4 and 18-6, near the mid-point of the first half, but Tulane rallied, playing intense defense and pulled away in the second half.
Nicholls has now lost all 16 games in a series dating back to the 81-82 season.
Four players scored in double figures for the Green Wave. Robinson Louisme led the Green Wave with 14 and tied with teammate David Gomez for the game high in rebounds with 7.
Also in double figures for the Green Wave were Matt Wheaton with 13, Kevin Sims with 12, and Eric Vianney with 10, while Gomez scored 9 for the Wave.
Sims also distributed 8 assists.
Michael Czepil led the Colonels with a game high 16-points. Junior Ryan Bathie added 11 points and five rebounds. Sophomore Mitch Boyce also scored in double figures for the Colonels with 10 points.
Tulane went on a 20-1 run to take a 26-19 lead with 4:27 remaining in the half. Louisme led the Wave with 8 points during the run.
The Green Wave led the Colonels by seven points at the half at 35-28. Nicholls hit seven of it's first twelve shots, but from that point the Colonels cooled off and hit on only four of their last fifteen first-half shots.
It got worse in the second half as Tulane intensified their half court defensive pressure. The Colonels managed to score only 23 points in the second half, shooting 16.1 percent from the floor, on a 5-of-31 performance.
For the game, Nicholls shot 27.6 percent, 16-of-58, from the floor and 22.2 percent from beyond the three-point line.
The visitors opened the second half with a 9-to-4 run that cut the Tulane lead to 2 at 39-37 with 16:21 remaining. But from that point the Green Wave outscored the Colonels 25-6 to ice the ball game.
Eric Vianney hit two trey's and Louisme and Gomez each added four points to fuel that run.
Tulane will take Thanksgiving off before returning to action on Saturday, November 24 against cross-town rival University of New Orleans at Fogelman Arena. Tip-off is slated for 2 p.m.

Love LP keep the updates coming!!!
I was wondering if you can have an option for the extended docs to have 5, 10 or 15. At the moment it's only 5 (with scrolling off) or 15 (with scrolling on).
I was also wondering if you have any intention to make the 3D drawer look more like the Nexus 1′s one? Yours does not have a good aesthetic look to it as the Nexus 1′s 3D drawer.
Ah, finally a solid reason as to why I keep having FCs with many widgets.
@Roze, I think Fede explained why his 3D drawer couldn't look like the original one. Think it was because of Froyo and not being able to access the new APIs so launcherpro is unable to access the default 3d launcher and Fede had to create his own 3d drawer from scratch.
Instead of asking Fede to spend time to make his launcher look like the original, it's better to wait for official Froyo and the new APIs to be released. Just my 2 cents.
Well for me such variety of options for me to tweak/screw up, is formidable. One thing though – on Motorola Milestone default launcher has 4 options in "Number of home panels" section: 3, 5, 7, 9. So 5 screens is not the limit in motos case.
You're doing an amazing job, keep up the good work!!
Your launcher is by far the best out there!
But i'd like to make two requests
1. Horizintal app drawer (samsung galaxy s) like in ADW, but with you smoothness!!!
2: Drag & drop support on the dock, it's much quicker to add shortcuts that way.
I think calling the options light, medium and high is unintuitive. Shouldn't the most memory-intensive setting be called high, instead of light? Since the memory usage of your home screen is high? I bet most users who have minimal home screens will choose "light" since they have a small lightweight UI.
Every time you update this it gets choppier. Prior to this update, it was back to smooth for the most part, but your current releases don't even compare to your early releases in terms of smoothness. It's getting annoying. Otherwise, excellent work feature-wise.
Thank you for the update. I'm one of the people this was aimed at – I only use three homescreens and minimal widgets, so I've been watching my performance get poorer and poorer for no benefit to me… 0.6.1 finally reversed that. I set my memory use to "High" and am loving it! (I agree with #18 though, the names are counterintuitive).
What a great app and the updates are great. However is there a link for 0.6.1 I have the rest but not this one. And when I updated to 0.6.2, I lost evrything, well the apps and at the bottom pof th screen was a few dots and only showed the app drawer. So I went back to 0.6.0 and was hoping that 0.6.1 was need before I install 0.6.2 Again great app
Thanks for the great work on LauncherPro
Regarding the "Memory usage", does High mode use more battery than Low mode?? Or there isn't a difference with respect to the battery life usage?
Thanks in advance for answering this query.

Todays work out -
I started out on the elliptical machine today with a goal to complete 45 minutes. I only went for 20 ( kind of a let down). I turned on one of my TV shows on Netflix and pounded it out. My feet eventually went numb and I had enough.
I went to spin class and was drug to a dance fusion class. It was not fun either but I definitely enjoyed making fun of everyone. There is nothing like laughing and being silly with your friends.
This journey will not be easy, but Peiwen needs me to be as good a person as she is. I need to feel beautiful again, I feel like my beauty is drowned behind all this fat. I will vow to work out in Black everyday — I will celebrate the funeral of every pound of fat that I am getting rid of.
(Source: youtube.com)
I'm gone on dat poop juice!
Lady in need of a pee stick. X )
Today I'm driving to Missouri to pick up Peiwen. I really don't mind, I'm kind of excited and plan on stopping in Arkansas and do my work out. I'll post picks of my track when I do. :) so stoked, its 220 and the plan was to be outta here by 7. Probably not gonna happen. :/
So why i feel the need to get up at 720 when I crawled my happy butt into bed at 2-ish, is beyond my education level. Had an awesome banaynay with the nephew this morning. It was a bit messy, especially when I stepped in his piece that he recklessly abandoned in the middle of the floor for a grilled cheese. The nerve of some people — see even my 9 month old nephew knows eating healthy sucks!
Screw the banaynay, id rather eat wood.
