IKKM Research ProjectTables and Transformations. Some Ideas about the Notion of Relation
Tables do not simply offer a neutral surface. A closer look at tables in artistic, scientific, religious or military contexts shows their active character: they transform relations. Surrealist artists have been well aware of this, performing time and again strange encounters of objects on a table (»la rencontre fortuite sur une table de dissection« as Lautréamont had it; cf. Maldoror, Chant 6, §1). The lecture will present some examples. It will especially discuss the notion of »relation« which was a common expression in structuralism. Wolfgang Kemp has applied it to the history of art, and Michel Serres has called his philosophy »une théorie des relations«. The expression »relation« refers to different traditions - formal logic, topology, linguistics, ethnography etc. These various traditions overlap each other whenever we say »relation«. Unfolding these various dimensions of the word will be necessary in order to understand what tables do.

The Reluctant Hermit of Fort Fisher
by Fred Pickler and Daniel Ray Norris
The authors reveal what might have caused Robert E. Harrill to make his life among the marshes of Fort Fisher – forcing him to endure the divergent and independent lifestyle of a hermit. What circumstances could drive a man to seek such "isolation"? Did the Hermit ever find solace? Did he succeed in chasing his demons away? Includes an updated analysis on the circumstances surrounding the death of the Fort Fisher Hermit.

Perreault, Corey Perry and Nick Bonino scored power-play goals for the NHL-leading Ducks, who improved to 18-0-2 at home during the NHL's fifth-longest points streak to open a season in the last 41 years.
Andrew Cogliano scored short-handed during the Ducks' three-goal second period. Teemu Selanne added two assists in Anaheim's eighth consecutive win at Honda Center, matching its 8-0 streak to open the season.
Daniel Paille and Dougie Hamilton scored for the Bruins, who played without forward Milan Lucic for the first time this season due to an illness.
The Ducks opened a nine-point lead over San Jose atop the Pacific Division by scoring a season-high three power-play goals after a long struggle with the man advantage.
Hiller, who will represent Switzerland at his second Olympics next month, did much of the rest of the work in his 21st victory, remaining perfect since Dec. 3.
After a scoreless first period, Anaheim went ahead when Perreault converted a one-timer from Selanne for his eighth goal on a power play. The 43-year-old Selanne, who hadn't scored a point since Dec.
Perry then batted home a loose puck just 10 seconds into the Ducks' second power play, capitalizing on the work of Bonino and Ryan Getzlaf for his 24th goal of the season. Anaheim's power play scored on its third consecutive attempt, including Perry's overtime winner against Vancouver on Sunday night, after a 1-for-34 skid.
Daniel Winnik and Cogliano generated a goal on pure hustle late in the period, with Winnik chasing down a puck and feeding it to Cogliano for his second short-handed goal of the season.
Paille ended Hiller's shutout bid in the final seconds of the period, getting his fourth goal in five games on a pass from Justin Florek, who scored his first NHL point on the assist.
Hamilton trimmed the Ducks' lead to one goal in the third period with his first goal since Nov. 2 on a high shot through heavy traffic in front of Hiller.
But after Brad Marchand short-circuited a late Boston power play with an interference penalty, Getzlaf got the puck below the goal line and found Bonino for his third goal in four games. Perreault then beat Rask with 2:31 to play.
NOTES: Before the game, Anaheim put D Bryan Allen on injured reserve with a lower-body injury and recalled D Nolan Yonkman from the AHL. Allen has seven assists and a plus-13 rating in 40 games this season, providing stability on a defense that's also missing injured Luca Sbisa and Sheldon Souray. ... Anaheim also scratched F Dustin Penner for the second time in four games. ... The 23-year-old Florek, a Northern Michigan product, made his NHL debut Saturday.

Sheriff Promotes Two Corrections Officers
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts promoted two corrections officers at the Lexington County Detention Center.
Metts promoted Kathi Seboe, 36, of Lexington, to serve as a field training officer for a shift of corrections officers who supervise inmates at the Detention Center. Seboe previously worked as a corrections officer on a shift at the Detention Center. On November 26, 2012, Metts appointed Seboe to serve as a corrections officer at the Detention Center.
In March, the American Correctional Association awarded Seboe certification as a Certified Corrections Officer, Metts said. Seboe received the certification based on her experience and accomplishments in the corrections field and her successful completion of a comprehensive examination that tested her knowledge as a corrections officer. The Certified Corrections Officer certification shows that a corrections officer has demonstrated an ability to communicate with and supervise corrections officers and inmates, maintain a safe and sanitary environment at a detention facility and maintain control over hazardous equipment at a detention facility.
Metts promoted John Gietz, 34, of Lexington, to serve as a law enforcement corrections officer. Gietz previously served as a corrections officer who worked on a shift supervising inmates at the Detention Center. On February 19, 2013, Metts appointed Gietz to serve as a corrections officer.

6 Sweet and Savory Strawberry Recipes
Recipe SWAT Team this week tackled strawberries and came up with these tasty treats
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Full of vitamin C, potassium, and folic acid, fresh strawberries have an attractive fragrance and a sweet, juicy bite. While great as a snack on their own or perhaps dipped in some sugar, strawberries can also be used for both sweet and savory dishes.
Of course, starting the morning off with a delicious French Toast with Strawberries and Hazelnuts, like the recipe below, is perfect for a Sunday brunch. And finishing a meal off with a barely baked Strawberry Pie or a Strawberry Shortcake with homemade biscuits is a fantastic end to any dinner. But why not make the whole meal strawberry-themed and start it off with Strawberry and Ricotta appetizers, followed by a Steak with Strawberry Salsa? Maybe that's going overboard.
What can be taken from these suggestions is that strawberries work well in a variety of dishes, even salads like this Strawberry and Cheddar recipe. Make the most of healthy, vibrant strawberries and have some fun with the food you make this spring and summer.
Check out some of our suggestions below and please share your favorite dishes with us as well.

Utah police find 65 lbs.. of pot in motorhomeTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | April 28,2013GREEN RIVER, Utah The Utah Highway Patrol has arrested a New York man they say was carrying about 65 pounds of marijuana in his motorhome.
The UHP said troopers pulled over the driver of a motorhome last week for traffic and tinted window violations. Troopers said they became suspicious of the driver, Warren DeBiew, 57, of New York.
A police dog detected drugs in the motorhome and a trooper then found about 65 pounds of marijuana, police said.
Authorities said they suspect DeBiew was transporting the drugs from the East Coast to California.

Windows 7 Ultimate
Homegroup and VMWare Fusion
I know this is a problem that's been discussed before, but I've tried the suggestions and am still having problems. Perhaps there's a suggestion out there that I haven't seen yet.
I'm trying to connect my MBP with Windows 7 running through VMWare Fusion to my HP dv2500 laptop running Windows 7 native. I set up the network connection on the virtual machine as a 'bridged' connection, and when I go to the network map on each machine I can see the other listed. I've tried setting up a homegroup both ways, and was able to connect - sort of.
When I create the homegroup on the virtual machine, it shows up on the HP machine and lets me connect. I was able to send a file to the virtual machine w/o problem. However, using that setup I cannot see the HP machine from the virtual machine and cannot send any files from the virtual machine directly.
When I create the homegroup on the HP machine, the virtual machine does not see it or let me join. Yet like I said, I can see an icon for the machine on the network map which is weird.
Anyone know what's going on?

Overall Experience
Enjoyable stay
October 29, 2014
The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. Did not like the sheets (too noisy) but the bed and pillows were fine. The pool was not heated enough and was cold. The front desk staff was very welcoming.
No recommended
October 27, 2014
Asked for and was guaranteed adjoining rooms but was told that they didn't have any. 4 children in two separate rooms is not acceptable.
Very noisy outside.
Good stay for business
October 27, 2014
It was a good stay for my business trip.
The shuttle was very helpful in getting around the area without a car.

The hotel looked brand new, the room and furnishings were very nice and comfortable. I especially liked the padded headboard with built-in adjustable reading lamps. Bathroom was very well lit and shower had great pressure.

When I was between ten and eleven years old, I was molested more than once by a trusted family friend who was supposed to be like a grandfather to me. I was afraid to tell anyone, so it lasted for months. I was already insecure before then because of my weight. I was already bigger than most of the kids at school, not just because of my weight, but because I was aslo much taller. I was different, and they made sure I knew it.
When I began 6th grade, my mom made me go on diets. I purposefully ate on top of them. At the time, I didn't want to become skinny. I didn't want to be pretty. In my mind, I had seen what happens to "pretty girls", and I wanted to make sure that it would never happen to me again. I wanted to feel ugly; I thought that I deserved it.
It did happen again, but not as severely. I gained weight all throughout high school, became very obese, and still I was chosen. I now know that it wasn't my fault. A monster is a monster, no matter what the victim looks like.
Over the past few years, I have finally learned to love my body. I am beautiful, just like every single person on this blog. I am capable of being loved. I deserve happiness. I am now running my own weight loss blog; not to get skinny, but to get healthy; not because I hate myself, but because I LOVE myself.

Some guy named Bart Baggett. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/01/prweb197342.htm http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/01/prweb335817.htm http://attorney-pr.blogspot.com/2008_06_07_archive.html http://weightlosshypnotists.com/weightlosshypnotists/2011/03/22/who-else-is-lying-national-handwriting-week-reveals-shady-characters-both-public-and-private/ - - - Notice the pattern here so far… pyrmaid schemes… junk science… social manipulation, etc. - - - While on archive.org I also thought to search for name and came up with this : This is the one where she sounds pretty ignorant about art and such… she was young, but still… shows a history of her passion for activism overshadowing her passion for rational thought… imho. http://archive.org/details/Anita_Sarkeesian_Commenting_On_Selma_Brody related : http://archive.org/details/Anita_Sarkesian_Reading_Selma_Brody - - - Googling neonandchrome comes up with a few things related to her… obviously a handle she used to go by… but this was the only page I could find definite evidence of being hers… https://www.etsy.com/people/neonandchrome?ref=owner_profile_leftnav - - - - - - Also from her old page at neonandchrome.com she has this list of things she used to be involved in : http://web.archive.org/web/20070912100534/http://www.neonandchrome.com/events.html - - - From there I cross referenced "anita" with "Freedom Uprising Festival" and found this : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/laamn/message/6077 Which shows a former email address of hers starting with "Anitasark@" So I googled simply "anitasark" Came up with another reference to the Freedom Uprising Festival, but this time with her old full email address : http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-503812-p-148.html firstname.lastname@example.com Can't find anything in reference to that email address though. - - - Another interesting thing about her neonandchrome page is tthe design page where she states : "Performance can fuse together entertainment and social consciousness. With my costumes I like to play with social stereotypes and test the audiences boundaries. " http://web.archive.org/web/20070911162040/http://www.neonandchrome.com/design.html … and which google brings up her contribution to a group gender bending cosplay photos here : http://www.flickr.com/groups/1206798@N20/pool/anitasarkeesian/?view=sm Nothing really bad there or anything… just stuff to keep in mind… especially the whole "test the audience boundaries" part. - - - Check out some of her early photos still on her flickr page whe she doesn't exactly seem disgusted by various women in provocative outfits or dressing up as Barbie or Elvira… : https://www.flickr.com/photos/anitasarkeesian/3903062404/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/anitasarkeesian/3903225418/in/photostream/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/anitasarkeesian/4335984581/in/photostream/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/anitasarkeesian/3903238318/in/photostream/ (In the picture of Elvira someone comments "Dude looks like a lady"… but Anita didn't delete it or respond. :/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/anitasarkeesian/3903259668/in/photostream/ Pedophile joke… https://www.flickr.com/photos/anitasarkeesian/3902483705/in/photostream/ "sexualized" gender bent dart vader https://www.flickr.com/photos/anitasarkeesian/3903294290/in/photostream/ Girl with gigantic deathstar boobs https://www.flickr.com/photos/anitasarkeesian/3903299234/in/photostream/ Sexualized storm trooper… obviously I'm using the terms "Sexualized" here based on her on criticisms she throws out since starting femfreq… - - - Early mention of a guy named Jonathan…. back in 2009…. maybe the same rebelious pixel Jonathan she's now doing the Tropes videos with… mentions his Dad and Grandma at one point… in some other photos… maybe they are together? : https://www.flickr.com/photos/anitasarkeesian/4066025420/in/photostream/ - - - Interestingly enough she didn't have any pictures from Wondercon 2011 that were as overtly sexual as her dragoncon 2009 pictures. I guess she was slowly attaining her moral compass…. - - - Activist Tourist : https://www.flickr.com/photos/anitasarkeesian/5796677346/in/photostream/ - - - - - - - - - OKAY. I don't remember WHERE I found this exactly, but this is Anita's old handle : "sunstainedlegs" I want to say that was her handle on a yahoo group related to the Freedom Uprising stuff… … and this is her old youtube channel : http://www.youtube.com/user/sunstainedlegs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHMXkSezVnY&feature=c4-overview&list=UUQbM9MrxmX2Vaj4fGDXsnCg Seta is her mother which you can see in a photo somewhere on her flickr channel….

Even if she did perform well, your analysis does not recognize the content of her performance. This woman is clearly a warmonger, purposely fueling racist fire against Obama and hates gay people… etc. etc. Her performance in no way constitutes the description of "smart, engaged, and tough." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hnrZrlxjI0 - - - Also, good fucking god… after going through her flickr, her past youtube stuff, she travels A LOT… and she eats nice food A LOT.

We have information you must know before you buy the Firebird.
We want to send it to you, along with other pricing insights.
We will not spam you, and will never sell your email.
The age of the dinosaurs finally has come to a close. The 2002 model year is the last for Pontiac's fabled Firebird. (The same is true for its close cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro.)
But this front-engine, rear-drive scorcher isn't going away without a final flourish. There's a special Collector Yellow edition that features the famed screaming chicken graphics package.
Even without that screaming yellow chicken, few cars have the visual impact of a WS-6 Trans Am. With its big bulges and long hood, the Trans Am always draws stares and comments. There are actually four nostrils for the Ram Air intake, two flared ones and two more gaps where the hood meets the rest of the nose. Fat chrome tips to the twin exhaust come out of tunnels under the rear bumper that look like an exotic racing car ground-effects undertray.
The Trans Am also features some of the usual Pontiac styling touches, including hundreds of hexagons in the taillights that suggest a fly's eyeballs. The 17-inch, five-spoke aluminum wheels are so polished they appear to be chrome, and they are wrapped with wide P275/40ZR17 tires rated for extremely high sustained speeds.
There are other flares, scoops, styling grooves and bulges, which are probably considered uncool by your Lexus owner, but they are a Trans Am tradition and not out of place on this car. There are functional louvers behind the front wheels, for the release of hot air from the engine compartment.
The wing on the convertible is more like a platform over the entire rear deck; it begins just behind the side windows, and it might even offer downforce to keep the car from floating should you ever run it in the 130-mph range, which we certainly don't suggest. With its incredibly tall sixth-gear ratio, the engine would be rumbling at less than 3000 rpm at that speed.
From the inside, you feel like you're in a racing car, as the low seating position and faraway unseen corners make judging near distances difficult. However, with so many adjustments to the driver's seat and steering wheel, this can be improved.
The convertible top, though handsome, is wide behind the side windows, creating a big blind spot that further complicates parallel parking; the glass rear window is small as well. But the power top operates easily. A tonneau cover takes up precious limited trunk space, and thus will be left in the garage by many owners.
Not surprisingly, the rear seats offer little legroom and almost no visibility. The convertible top is a tradeoff in the rear compartment; it steals 2.2 inches of hip room, but gives back 4.2 inches of headroom.
The front bucket seats are intelligently shaped and comfortable for long distances; they aren't difficult to climb into and out of, considering how low to the ground they are, but the front doors do scrape on sidewalks. The driver will probably wish he had a steering wheel with a larger diameter, more in keeping with the muscle car theme, and more suited to the excellent handling. It tilts into a good position, allowing visibility over the top without hitting the knees of an average-sized person.
An extra set of sound system controls is located on the steering wheel. Sounds are a high priority for Pontiac, and even the convertible comes standard with an eight-speaker CD system. There's a big fixed cupholder behind the shift lever, which has a stylish leather knob. There's a tidy compartment between the seats, and other storage spots exist in the doors and behind the front seats.
The engine in the base Coupe or Convertible is the 3800 (3.8-liter) V6, yielding 200 horsepower and 225 foot-pounds of torque. The 5.7-liter V8 (overhead-valve LS1 with aluminum cylinder block and heads) comes in the Formula and Trans Am in two versions: 310 horsepower and 340 foot-pounds of torque or, with the WS-6 Ram Air package, 325 horsepower and 350 foot-pounds of torque.
Driving relatively easily, the Trans Am is a gem. Macho drivers, and there will be plenty with the WS-6, will abuse the car and push it to its limits, but when it's driven reasonably and within the law, it is highly rewarding and not the least bit uncomfortable or difficult.
The biggest problem is the perception of size, from behind the wheel, though drivers of smaller stature find it manageable.
The power steering is not heavy, but it is a compromise; it's not as light as most sedans for parking. At speed, the steering is direct and steady, no roaming or twitching at all, both in the curves and on the freeway.
Cowl shake has been a bugaboo with Firebird and Camaro convertibles, given the lack of chassis stiffness without a steel roof and a suspension that isn't designed to simply soak up bumps. During our test over fairly smooth roads, the cowl never reared its shaking head. This is a significant advancement, a true character change.
The suspension performed admirably. Never once were we jarred, which is saying quite a lot. And never once did we feel the car undulating, even slightly. We suspect that extremes in both road conditions and driving aggression could indeed produce those responses from this Trans Am, at least we hope so, because the suspension wouldn't be correct if they didn't. All Firebird models received re-valved shock absorbers for the 2001 model year.
The six-speed gearbox with Hurst linkage feels solid, though not quite buttery. It might be overstating things to call it quirky, but it requires some understanding. The pattern is closely spaced for quick shifting, which means you sometimes find yourself in third gear instead of first, when pulling out. There is a lockout of second gear at certain rpm and at a certain pace of acceleration designed to save gas for EPA ratings. Accelerating slowly causes the computer to force you to shift from first gear into fourth. Basically, it won't let you drive sharply and casually at the same time. You either accept it or you learn how to get around it. There is a way to get into second gear, when you want to; we could explain, but it would take two paragraphs. The good news is there's so much torque that you actually can go from first to fourth gear, even at a tame 2500 rpm, without bogging the engine.
Sixth gear will save you more gas, because the ratio is so tall. It might also get you a ticket. Sixty-eight miles per hour is only about 1500 rpm, and because there is so little engine compression to slow you down when you lift off the throttle in sixth gear, the car wants to keep rolling on into the 70s and 80s. With such low rpm, you don't hear it or feel it. You really need to use cruise control in sixth. On an open highway, it does indeed save gas.
As for power, well, you've got 325 horsepower with the Ram Air system to go with the manual transmission. It's smooth, not really neck-snapping, and the exhaust note is deep but not loud. It's as much power as you'll ever need, and probably as much as you'll ever want, but it's not scary. It's eminently controllable.
Pulling away in first gear does call for some attention, however. It's easy to stall the engine if you're too casual with throttle application, especially at red lights on the steep streets of San Francisco.
Trans Am is no BMW, but it's a better car than many people realize. You just have to appreciate it for what it is, a brutally fast pony car.

Arizona played about 30-35 minutes of solid basketball and kept a consistent lead for most of the game; with eleven minutes left, Arizona was up by ten. Then, however, Utah went on a 11-2 run to tie the game 51-51 with under seven minutes left–the five minutes of basketball Arizona took off. The Wildcats maintained their composure though and never allowed Utah to take the lead.
Arizona can credit their win mainly due to the fact they out-rebounded the Utes 33-24 and outshot them 47% to 39%. Kaleb Tarczewski looked much more comfortable under the basket, going 4 for 5 and improving substantially with going to the basket immediately instead of hesitating before the shot. Mark Lyons led the team in scoring with 18 points and had several key baskets in the clutch (per usual), while Kevin Parrom was most efficient on the court, going 3 for 5 with 9 points, 9 rebounds (3 offensive) and 3 assists.
Next, Arizona will take on the Washington schools at home.

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Caldwell recently sat down for an interview with Gerry DiNardo that aired on Big Ten Network. The short video spot hit on a number of topics, including:
- How he's a fit for the Detroit Lions
- Memories of his days at Iowa
- Big Ten Expansion
- Coaching Peyton Manning
- Getting a team ready for the Super Bowl
- What he wants other coaches to learn from him
The interview runs about three and a half minutes long with some studio discussion from DiNardo and Mike Hall to follow. Take a look:
It feels like there is still a lot of "getting to know each other" needed between Caldwell and Lions fans. A resume with both triumphs and failures and Caldwell's calm demeanor has led to an overall lukewarm reaction to the hire from Lions fans. However, most had a better feeling after hearing him speak at his introductory press conference.
One thing is for sure, Caldwell comes across as a guy who is hard not to like when hearing him talk about football or life in general. The thing Lions fans really care about, however, is whether or not he can consistently field a winning football team in Detroit.

text: Video Proof: Media Fall for Hoax Racism at Pro-Zimmerman Rally Print article Send a Tip by Brandon Darby 23 Jul 2013 post a comment Sunday's "Justice-For-Trayvon" march held by the New Black Panther Party was attended by a woman holding a sign reading: "Racist and Proud." Several media outlets incorrectly identified the woman as a "George Zimmerman supporter," and the story took off, providing the left with supposed evidence of racism among those who believe Zimmerman was not guilty. However, an interview with Breitbart News at the Houston rally itself proved that she was an anti-Zimmerman demonstrator attempting to use sarcasm to prove her point. The Houston Chronicle's Jayme Fraser wrote of the woman pictured above: "At one point, Renee Vaughan of Austin mocked protesters by chanting, "We're racist. We're proud. We're better 'cause we're white." The language of the article was somewhat clumsy, allowing other media outlets to jump to the wrong conclusion. The New York Daily News' Philip Caulfield used the following caption for the above photo, from the Associated Press: "A George Zimmerman supporter holds a sign during a counter-demonstration of activist Quanell X's group march in the River Oaks community in Houston on Sunday." He also wrote: "One woman in the Zimmerman group held a sign that said, 'We're racist & proud,'" distorting the Chronicle story significantly. The UK Daily Mail repeated the error, reporting that the sign was held by members of the pro-Zimmerman group in Houston, portraying it as a form of racist backlash against the New Black Panther Party march. Democratic strategist Tara Dowdell then took to Fox News' Hannity to repeat the false accusation, using the "racist and proud" sign story to push back against video evidence of intolerance at pro-Trayvon Martin rallies. Well, Sean, do some people show up at protests with their own agenda? Absolutely. That happens all the time. There was a pro-Zimmerman rally in Texas where a woman showed up with a sign that said "Racist and Proud." And that was in the newspaper today. So certainly there are people who show up who behave badly at protests, and that's not something you can really control for. I was present in Houston and personally saw the woman holding the sign. She was attending the event with a fellow anti-Zimmerman demonstrator who was wearing a hoodie. I interviewed her and took this footage: Breitbart News: What does your sign mean? Woman: This sign means that there are people here who are racist and apparently think that's OK. I'm not one of them. I'm being sarcastic. Breitbart News: OK. Fellow anti-Zimmerman Protestor: Yo. What she said. Not only was the woman at the event to support the New Black Panther/Trayvon Martin march, but she is also, according to Gateway Pundit and others, a very involved left-of-center activist from Austin, Texas. Gateway Pundit concludes she was a "leftist plant" who intended to trick or otherwise deceive the media. As the interview reveals, however, she was quite honest and open about her intentions and what her sign meant. She also located herself quite clearly on the Trayvon Martin/New Black Panther Party-supporting side of the demonstration (this video shows the two sides were clearly separated and distinguished from each other). That would be hard to miss for any media who were actually present, or who read the Chronicle story carefully enough to note that the woman was with the anti-Zimmerman protest. Clearly, the left's desire to further the George Zimmerman racism narrative trumps the principles of accuracy and journalistic integrity.

The Miami Dolphins lost Dustin Keller, their starting tight end to a season-ending injury. That has left a void at the starting tight end position and Dolphins offensive coordinator Mike Sherman said Charles Clay is their man.
"You'd have to give the nod to Clay as the starter," Sherman said, via The Palm Beach Post. "He'll play in a bunch of different packages. He'll play in the backfield as well as on the line of scrimmage. He'll play split out. He'll do a lot of different things for us, and he's more than capable."
Clay took the Michael Vick response and said "nothing is given to me" and that he has to "come out and earn that (starting) role."
"I've just got to come out here and do all I can to build a trust from the quarterbacks and the O-line and prove I'm dependable," Clay said.
Clay was a pass-catching fullback in college and is converting to tight end. He is slightly undersized as well at 6-foot-3 and 250 pounds.
"It's something I've been working on this whole offseason. It's something I've gotten better at," Clay said. "Obviously there are still some areas I need to work on, but I feel like I'm coming along."

I'm beginning to get that sick feeling that just because Roy Halladay's 20 plus million per year contract is up, Ruben Amaro feels the need to deal out a massive contract this off-season, even if the person he gives it too isn't worth the deal. Enter, Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, who CBS Sports Danny Knobler predicts the Phillies will sign this off-season.
Could he leave? Could they let him go? Yes. Desperate Phillies step up and sign him.
"Desperate Phillies," is not what I'm looking to hear heading into this off-season. I'm not knocking Knobler because personally I think he is the best national baseball reporter, it just sickens me that the Phillies would be in a hurry to get in another huge contract for a guy that really isn't even a great fit for the Phillies.
Don't get me wrong, Ellsbury is a really good player, but that's it. He isn't the 2011 Ellsbury that hit .321 with 32 homeruns and 105 RBI's while swiping 39 bags. That season was an outlier for Ellsbury, who hit .298 with 9 homeruns and 53 RBI's this past season. That is the normal type of output to expect from Ellsbury, who with the exception of 2011, has never hit more than 9 homeruns or 60 RBI's. The only aspect of his game from 2011 that wasn't misleading was the 39 stolen bases, as he has improved in that department since 2011, stealing a league-leading 52 bases this season.
Oh yeah, and the Phillies have a pretty solid, extremely in-expensive, player in centerfield, where Ellsbury plays, in Ben Revere. Sure, Revere brings next to no power, but he is the perfect leadoff hitter. He overcame an extremely slow start to his Phillies career, to hit .305 in 88 games in 2013. Give him a full season and I think he only continues to improve as a hitter. And basestealing is Ellsbury's best attribute, but Revere stole 22 bases in just over half the season last year, so Ellsbury's basestealing wouldn't bring something to the Phillies that they don't already have. It would only bring a slight improvement, and for the price that Ellsbury is going to command, a slight improvement isn't enough.
One general manager anonymously projected that Ellsbury would get a deal worth over 100 million to MLB Network's Peter Gammons. I don't know about you, but to me a guy who hits less than 10 homeruns per year and has only played over 150 games twice since becoming an everyday player in 2008, doesn't seem to be worth 100 million. Especially not when Ben Revere only made 515,000 last season and isn't likely to get a ton more in his first year of arbitration.
All of this isn't to say that the Phillies couldn't use another outfielder, because as much as I like Darin Ruf, Ellsbury would be a big upgrade. But I'm not sure at his price and given him similarity to Revere, that I like his fit in Philadelphia.
Of course, you could opt to move Revere, who despite making a few highlight reel catches last season isn't much of a fielder,to right field if you signed Ellsbury. I guess that would work, but it doesn't solve the problem of the Phillies needing another power bat in this lineup to drive runs in. Ellsbury and Revere would be setting the table at the top of the lineup for Dom Brown, and maybe Ryan Howard and Chase Utley if they stay healthy, to drive them in. But if Howard and Utley can't stay healthy, then you still have the issue of having no protection in the lineup for Brown, who was the Phillies only elite run producer in 2013.
If I'm Ruben Amaro I wouldn't go after Ellsbury, but instead I would take a look at a rebound guy like Nelson Cruz or Michael Morse. Both of them are bigger power bats than Ellsbury, and will come at a much cheaper price. Even someone internal like Darin Ruf fits what the Phillies need in their lineup better than Ellsbury.
