Report: Raiders DB Michael Huff has visit with Packers set up
Free agent safety Michael Huff, an athletic player who was pressed into playing cornerback last year for the Oakland Raiders, told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he had a visit set up with the Packers.
Huff, 30, was at the University of Texas' pro day in Austin Tuesday and when interviewed by the Star-Telegram's Clarence Hill, said he had visits set up with Baltimore and Green Bay. The Dallas Cowboys have also shown considerable interest in Huff.
The 6-0, 211-pound Huff started 16 games last year and had 13 pass breakups and two interceptions. A first-round pick out of Texas in 2006, Huff has started 93 games and totaled 11 interceptions.
Huff visited the Cowboys on Monday, but has not received an offer and said he would not wait for one. However, he is from Irving and a return home probably would be ideal if the Cowboys can meet his price.
Huff had two seasons remaining on his $8 million per year contract when he was released on March 12. All three teams that have shown interest are in need of safety help, but only the Packers have a lot of cap space.
The Packers are probably looking to get Huff on the cheap knowing that he doesn't have a lot of options. The Cowboys are about $100,000 under the cap and Baltimore is around $7-8 million under, a good portion of which will be devoted to their draft class.
Since free agency started the Packers have shown interest in DE Chris Canty and RB Steven Jackson, but didn't come close to signing either.
A source familiar with the Packers' thinking said there's a chance Huff's agent is trying to drum up interest for his client and was skeptical how far the Packers would pursue the safety. If the price drops considerably, Huff would be a good option to firm up the safety position given his experience, but both the Cowboys and Ravens are in need of a starter.
The Packers, meanwhile, have Morgan Burnett, who played every snap last year, and still have high hopes for 2012 rookies Jerron McMillian and Sean Richardson, as well as third-year pro M.D. Jennings. What's more, many people think the safety position is as strong as any in this year's draft.

I am loving everything about this album- the production, the lyrics, the vocals, etc. My favorites include My Weakness and Monster but everything on this album is stellar.
I preordered this album about a month in advance because I was soo excited for it!! I was very happy that I did preorder it because it arrived the day it was released!! I love it! Kris is amazing! :)
This album is a high quality musical product. I enjoyed every songs and each song has it's uniqueness. It defines as Kris Allen's songs. Songs are very delightful, catchy, and positive.
I pre-ordered a copy and now I am ordering more copies to send to my friends and family.
Don't let the album cover fool you, this cd is a fun ride. Starting off with the light hearted Better With You, this cd showcases a fuller range of Kris Allen's personality. Better With You, My Weakness, Rooftops, and Monster are standouts, but the entire album is worth a listen. Kris has a very eclectic style, but this album is more cohesive than his first effort. The duet Loves Me Not shows that Kris is also a good songwriter.
I LOVE this new album by Kris Allen! It has a little something for almost every musical taste, even a little rap! ;) I'd have to say my favorites are Better with You and Blindfolded, but honestly I love the whole album. Buy it, you won't regret it!
Amazing cd, amazing artist. Great buy. You won't be disappointed!

I currently use Git, and am generally happy with it, but I'd like to know more about Mercurial. Does it have any advantages over Git? What are the advantages of Git over Mercurial?
I realize there are already detailed comparisons of the two, but that's not what I'm asking for. I don't want dispassionate information, but rather impassioned (but polite!!!) reasons why you think one is better/easier/faster/smarter/stronger/etc.

The Atlantic
The fishing on the local reefs and wrecks has been outstanding the past few days. There were few large kingfish caught, but lots of 12-pounders. Capt. Guy Spear had eight kings and two cobia on Tuesday and 10 kings on Wednesday — all before 11 a.m.
There are plenty of pogies on the beach. But there are so many sharks under them that Spear had a new net torn Tuesday and Kevin Faver darn near lost one Wednesday.
The big pogy pod was just south of the inlet Wednesday afternoon — it's acres.
Looks like big speckled perch spawn may have passed us by again this year in Northeast Florida. Certainly, some fish have spawned — at least we'd hope so. But the big push into the pads by females hasn't really happened, even on the best speck lakes around.
The hordes of speck disciples are worn out from looking, and finding salvation in the wide-open bluegill and shellcracker bite right now — that's as early as the speck spawn is late.
"Who's thinking about speckled perch?" guide Adam Delaney wondered from the docks at Georgetown Marina on Lake George Wednesday. Specks aren't even a consideration this week as bass fishing goes nuts. While the number of HUGE bass, let's say over 10 pounds, has fallen off, the number of BIG bass in unreal. Delaney said he passed dozens of beds on the big lake holding 6-pound fish early in the week, looking for a trophy for his client. "There are hundreds of beds," on the lake, he said.
The big news is that the warming water temperatures and the full moon tonight have definitely kicked off the largemouth bass spawn, and most likely the speckled perch as well.
Almost overnight, Lake George became dotted on the west shore with fanned out bass beds, "and every one's got a fish on it," said Teresa Miller at Georgetown Marina.
And the speckled perch went on the beds in Dead Lake on Monday. Tuesday, the bait shop reported that the line of truck and boat trailers was more than a mile long parked on the side of the road once the parking filled up.
What's billed as the biggest sheepshead fishing tournament in the world ended under a cloud of controversy over the weekend. The El Cheapo is among Jacksonville's more popular fishing events. But social media lit up after a 13.42-pound, tournament record-breaking fish hit the scales.
GREENVILLE, S.C. — Anglers gathering in South Carolina to compete in the Bassmaster Classic are among the people in the South whose lives have been disrupted by the unusual winter weather that has engulfed the region.
Fifty-six of the sport's top fishermen will square off in the series' Super Bowl. The start of the three-day tournament has been delayed about 90 minutes, pushing first launch to about 8:30 a.m. Friday when temperatures are forecast to be 17 degrees.
While there are always exceptions to most rules, as a rule, it's been a tough week for fishing in freshwater. That's not likely to change much over the weekend.
Water temperatures in the river have dropped into to the low 50s. Lakes, and the backs of shallower creeks have been in the upper 50s.
Either way, the action now should be on bedding bass and speckled perch, but neither is going to do its procreative thing until water temps climb into the low 60s.
Limits of speckled perch were caught this week, and there seems to be a pattern. Most all of the better reports came from lake, not the river or those big lakes connected to it — Crescent and George.
It's a good bet that warmer water temperatures in the calmer, shallower lakes are making the difference.
It may also be why the smaller creeks — especially Trout and Six-Mile were better as well.
All that said, we're looking at as hard a near-freeze as we've had all year over the next few days. So all of that should change, generally for the worse.
"My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it."
— Koos Brandt
That may be my favorite fishing quote. It works particularly well with shotguns too, I've learned.
So you may be asking yourself "Why's Sutton starting a fishing column with a quote?" It's a good question, and the honest answer is that I'm trying to fill space without actually talking about fishing reports. That's because there aren't any.
The wind kept the fishing down most of the week. The few anglers out there caught mixed bags of catfish, bluegills and a few speckled perch.
One of the nicest catches was off the dock at the Trout Creek Marina where a couple visitors fishing nightcrawlers on the bottom wound up with a pair of channel cats weighing around six and 10 pounds, respectively.
Speckled perch remains scattered in deeper water. One exception has been the old barge channel on the lake side of the Rodman Dam where anglers have been getting limits (25) of specks.
Let's start with area lakes.
If you're looking for a stringer of speckled perch your best bets will be Lochloosa and Santa Fe, but they're a tale of two methods. The fish are moving into the pads in Lochloosa. In Santa Fe, the action remains out in the lake, generally in 20 to 26 feet. All the females are showing roe. Two fish weighed off Lochlossa this week topped 2 pounds.
Specks have been tough to find in the St. Johns Basin. There were some reports in Crescent and Dead lakes, but the fish remained scattered.

When Gov. John Kasich and the Republican controlled General Assembly adopted the state's $55 billion biennium budget, they justified the deep cuts in funding for school districts and local governments by contending that they had to deal with an $8 billion deficit in the spending plan. Indeed, Kasich had used the $8 billion figure as a sledgehammer in his 2010 race for governor against Democratic incumbent Ted Strickland. He accused Strickland and the Democratic controlled House of Representatives of mismanaging the state's finances.
Ohio voters, battered by the national economic recession that began in the last year of Republican George W, Bush's presidency, decided to give Kasich and the Republicans a chance to right the ship of state. They not only made him governor, but gave the GOP control of every statewide office and the Ohio House and Senate.
Thus began what is for all purposes one-party rule. The result: A biennium budget that has caused undue hardship for local governments and has forced school districts around the state to make deep cuts in their operating budgets to absorb the funding reductions from the state. The Local Government Fund, which funnels state dollars to county, city and other local governments, was slashed by more than $1 billion, while schools took such a hit that the list of districts in state-declared fiscal caution, fiscal watch and even fiscal emergency is growing by leaps and bounds.
In defending the biennium budget, Gov. Kasich said it's time for the public sector to come up with new ways of delivering the services taxpayers expect for their money. We have no argument with the idea that government must become more efficient. However, when funding cuts are made in the midst of a national recession, even the most creatively run public entity has difficulty making ends meet.
On any given day, The Vindicator highlights the financial trials and tribulations of another school district or another county, city, township or village government. At some point, all the cutting has the effect of undermining the delivery of services.
Teacher layoffs
When a school district is forced to lay off teachers, class sizes increase, and student learning suffers. When a city has to lay off policemen or firefighters, public safety is jeopardized. And when the two-year capital budget has money only for projects in public universities and colleges and nothing for communities, cities like Youngstown suffer.
During the legislative debate on the biennium budget, questions were raised about the governor's insistence that the $8 billion hole in the spending blueprint was real. ProgressOhio, a liberal policy group, challenged the budget on the grounds that it was based on faulty numbers. There were estimates that showed the real shortfall to be between $5.9 billion and $6.1 billion.
Nonetheless, the Republicans passed the two-year budget with Kasich's assumptions.
But today, not even year after the adoption, the state is reporting surplus tax revenue of at least $265 million, plus it has $250 million in a rainy day fund.
Thus the question: Should any of that money be used to bolster public schools and local governments? Democrats think so and proposed the Kids and Communities First Fund, which would contain $400 million — $265 million from the tax surplus, $120 million from the rainy day fund and $15 million from the "fracking" tax the governor has proposed.
Area representatives Ron Gerberry, Sean O'Brien, Bob Hagan and Tom Letson are pushing a bill to restore funding for local governments.
While true bipartisanship is too much to expect in this presidential election year in which Ohio is a major player, there was "a glimmer of hope for schools and local governments that they could see partial relief from heavy state budget cuts," the Columbus Dispatch reported.
The glimmer was seen as Republicans in the House passed a budget revision bill. While rejecting the Democrats' proposal for $400 million, a Republican legislator, Ron Amstutz, indicated that he would willing to work with Democrats to decide what to do with the surplus.
Huge surplus
Amstutz noted that there could be as much as an $800 billion surplus by the end of the fiscal year.
"Our local partners need our attention, but I think they need it in a cooperative mode, not in a fighting mode," the Dispatch quoted the Republican from Wooster, chairman of the House Finance Committee, as saying. "And frankly, there are some spending problems at the local level that need to be addressed."
The House voted 62-34 on the bill, which is now before the Senate.
But a major question looms: What will Kasich do if the Senate follows the House's lead and passes the budget revision bill? The House version did not contain the "fracking" tax that the governor wants.
When will Ron Gerberry, Sean O'Brien, Bob Hagan and Tom Letson take the tax burden off the shoulders of the landowners?
"The result: A biennium budget that has caused undue hardship for local governments and has forced school districts around the state to make deep cuts in their operating budgets to absorb the funding reductions from the state." OK Vindy, when times were good, did school levies decline, or did spending increase?
" When a school district is forced to lay off teachers, class sizes increase, and student learning suffers. When a city has to lay off policemen or firefighters, public safety is jeopardized. "
OK Vindy, class sizes are set to a max of 25. If you think that's high, then don't tell the students what their class sizes will be in college. Public safety jeopardized? When there are more bad guys then there are good guys, you've not only lost the battle, you will go broke(as we have) with an attempt to tax yourself to death in order to out number them. Is there some special code written somewhere that ONLY PRIVATE SECTOR employees can loose their jobs,but public sector employees must retain their jobs, benefits, and pensions for life?
"But today, not even year after the adoption, the state is reporting surplus tax revenue of at least $265 million, plus it has $250 million in a rainy day fund." OK Vindy, you think this is a LOT OF MONEY? In tipical Vindy/ Union/Liberal/Democratic fashion, if there is a dollar around ANYWHERE, then by golly , lets spend it.
Welcome back Vindy, those of us who know you well and are about to die from the taxes you would, and will love to help impose on us, salute you.
Cue the Twilight Zone music before you read the article. Everyone knows School Boards etc. waste much of their funding.
Why give them more money?
You guys do know a majority of those cuts were FEDERAL and not state right?
And you also know of those $1 billion in cuts, they came from the Federal Stimulus Package?
Here is the question. If schools survived before the one time stimulus windfall, why can't they survive NOW?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Three former pro football players make their way to Capitol Hill today as a congressional hearing focuses on brain injuries suffered in the game.
The hearing was prompted by a study that the National Football league commissioned. It found that retired pro football players may have a higher than normal rate of Alzheimer's disease or other memory problems.
Since then researchers announced that a football player who only played in college suffered from a degenerative brain disease previously discovered only in former NFL players.
Today's hearing will look at the lasting impact of head injuries, how to limit them and how to compensate players and their families.

Blackberry updates Blackberry 10 OS
Introduces major improvements such as extended battery life and camera features
CANADIAN PHONE FIRM Blackberry has updated its Blackberry 10 operating system (OS) for the first time since its launch in January.
The software update brings five main improvements to the OS, including extended battery life, more camera features and better third party app performance.
"It's almost been a month since we officially unveiled the new BlackBerry 10 smartphones and many of you already have a BlackBerry Z10 in hand," the firm said in a blog post. "You've been using it for weeks, and we've been listening to your feedback, and have been working on an update just for you."
The first of the five major updates is an improvement in third party app performance so developers can build apps that run faster and smoother. Blackberry said that this update will lead to some fresh apps, such as Whatsapp, launching in March.
The update also includes revised Phone, Calendar, and Contacts feaures, an improvement to the way Blackberry Hub logs calls and improvements in how conversations are handled.
In addition, Blackberry said it made general improvements to importing contacts from online sources.
Snaphappy Blackberry 10 users will also be pleased that the firm has optimised the camera to take better photos in low-light situations.
But perhaps the most significant improvements the update brings are a number of battery life optimisations. Blackberry said it has rolled out over 60 battery saving improvements to extend battery life.
"Heavy users especially should see a longer average usage per charge cycle," the firm added.
Blackberry has also made a number of improvements to the way the browser handles video playback.
Users will receive a notification to update the Blackberry 10 OS, as the software update is available over the air.
"You can manually check to see if it has been made available by your service provider and install it in a few simple steps," Blackberry said.
Access "Settings", then "Software Updates", then "Check for Updates", and then follow the on screen steps to install the update. The download is approximately 150MB in size, so users should update while connected to WiFi.
Blackberry said that the update will be rolled out to all of its carrier partners around the globe "over the coming weeks". µ

I am a talent represented by Pinkerton Model and Talent Company. I did a Samsung shoot over four months ago through the agency. The agency was paid by the Production Company (have proof) and the agency was supposed to legally pay me over a month ago. I have still not gotten paid (thousands) and they give me a new excuse everyday. There are MANY complaints and cases filed against Lynn Venturella and her agency. Her own employees have left her for the fraudulent behavior. I personally know people who have filed cases against her. She has hundreds of thousands I am sure that she owes to many talent she used to represent. Google her name and the first thing that pops up is a complaint filed against her. I'm sure there are individuals that are owed hundreds of thousands alone. Enough is enough, she can't be taking people's money like this.
I have kept all records of communication with her thru email and have witnesses who have come with me to her office about payment. She is withholding many talent's hard earned money. One commercial alone can be worth hundreds of thousands... I am seeking out everyone who has been screwed by her scam artistry and bringing them together to go forth with this a class action lawsuit.
Contact me if you are one of the many people she owes money to.

Shades of Simon Grayby Joyce McDonald
View All Available Formats & Editions
Simon Gray is the ideal teenager — smart, reliable, hardworking, trustworthy. Or is he? After Simon crashes his car into The Liberty Tree, another portrait starts to emerge. Soon an investigation has begun into computer hacking at Simon's high school, for it seems tests are being printed out before they are given. Could Simon be involved?
Simon, meanwhile, is in a coma — but is this another appearance that may be deceiving? For inside his own head, Simon can walk around and talk to some people. He even seems to be having a curious conversation with a man who was hung for murder 200 years ago, in the branches of the same tree Simon crashed into. What can a 200-year-old murder have to do with Simon's accident? And how do we know who is really innocent and who is really guilty?

Read an Excerpt
Chapter 1
On the night Simon Gray ran his '92 Honda Civic into the Liberty Tree, the peepers exploded right out of the local streams, shrieking like souls of the dead disturbed from their slumber, louder and more shrill than anyone in Bellehaven could remember. Like the plague of frogs converging on ancient Egypt, they were everywhere: in window boxes, on front porch rockers, in mailboxes carelessly left open, in gutters. They even clogged a few exhaust pipes.
Most people in town were absolutely positive the peepers caused Simon's accident. With squashed frogs all over the road, their blood, like so much oil, made driving slippery. It was bound to happen to somebody. A few suspected that the sudden appearance of the peepers might be a curse. But this was an unpopular view, Bellehaven being a respectable and upright town.
When the police found no skid marks, nothing to indicate that Simon Gray had slammed on the brakes for dear life, that was no surprise. Everyone knew he would have. He was the responsible young man who baby-sat their children, walked their dogs, and watered their plants while they were on vacation. The boy who had cleaned their gutters, mowed their lawns, and run their errands since he was ten.
They were sure the slick mess on the road would have made finding any trace of tire treads impossible. Not one single person in town doubted that for a minute, and if anyone hinted otherwise, people turned away and wandered off without finishing the conversation.
Come sunrise, following the accident, what remained of the peeper population had settled back into the streams and the muddy banks of the Delaware, but for the next two weeks they continued their piercing chirps after the sun went down. By the time they finally stopped, everyone in town knew the truth about Simon Gray.
Or so they believed.
On the day before the accident, a heat wave settled over Bellehaven like a cloud of steam. It all but sucked the air out of anyone who tried to take a deep breath. Some attributed special significance to its being April Fools' Day. But most simply found it odd to have eighty-five-degree temperatures in early April, shrugged, and went on about their business, although they were inclined to move at a much slower pace. Only the Delaware River, swollen with the spring runoff and freshly stocked with brook and rainbow trout, sped along at breakneck speed, spewing white foam over rocky ridges.
When the heat wave persisted through the following day, girls dug out last year's shorts and tank tops from attic trunks in preparation for school on Monday, and threw away lipsticks that had melted in their backpacks. By nightfall, people found themselves kicking off top sheets, digging window fans out of basements and attics, and wrapping ice cubes in face towels to lay across the backs of their necks. A few even turned on air conditioners, muttering about future electric bills that were sure to leave them paupers.
But the heat wasn't all that kept Simon Gray awake as he paced his airless bedroom that night, wearing only a pair of boxer shorts. He hadn't slept in two nights, and it didn't look as if he ever would again. Unlike everyone else in town, he barely noticed the temperature creeping toward ninety. He had other things on his mind.
When he slipped on a pair of khaki cargo shorts and a black T-shirt, silently sneaked out the back door, got in his car, and headed for the river, it wasn't in search of cooler air. What he sought was a few moments of peace. A rare minute or two when something or someone besides Devin McCafferty and the others didn't monopolize his thoughts.
He parked his Honda near the boat ramp and headed down to his favorite spot a few feet from the Delaware. For the next half hour he watched the moonlight glimmer off the rush of water heading downriver, letting his mind flow along with it. People, he realized, were a lot like drops of water caught up in the spring runoff, shuttled into fast-moving streams that collided into rivers and rushed to join the ocean. If you got caught in the current there was no turning back. The only way out of that racing water was to evaporate into the night air.
Evaporate. Disappear.
He wondered what it would feel like to be as light as mist, to no longer be weighted down with a human body filled with leaden fears, in constant dread of being discovered, exposed, humiliated.
Simon turned his face toward the sky so thick with stars he could almost taste them on his tongue, metallic, like biting into aluminum foil. Moonlight glinted off his thick glasses, and anyone looking at his face would have thought his eyes had melted into two pools of pure light.
Sitting with his back against the base of a huge white pine, eyes closed, he listened to the gentle hush-hush, the whisper of the wind through the soft needles. For just the tiniest moment Simon thought he might float up into the night air and beyond. Until the piercing shrieks of two raccoons, probably males hell-bent on killing each other over a female, forced him to remember why he was here, why he hadn't been able to sleep.
He did not want to think about what would happen to him, to all of them, if they were caught. But then, maybe it was time he was caught, because he'd been fooling everyone for so long he'd started to fool himself. Simon the Eagle Scout. Simon the Responsible. Squeaky clean Simon. Hell, he was Bellehaven's very own Dudley Do-Right. Who was he kidding?
Even when he was caught stealing a computer game the previous fall from CompUSA, the manager, who turned out to be his old second-grade teacher, Mr. Grabowski--the upgraded Mr. Grabowski, ex-teacher, now a hotshot manager--had merely given him a friendly pat on the back and said, "Guess you had your head in the clouds, there, Simon." He had pointed to the box Simon had tucked inside his jacket. "I think you forgot to pay for that."
Yeah, right. Was the guy that dense?
Simon had lifted the box from its hiding place and said, "Oh, yeah. Sorry." And that was all there was to it. Later he realized that Mr. Grabowski hadn't wanted to believe Simon would stoop to stealing from his store. Simon himself still had no idea why he'd done it. It was the only thing he'd ever tried to steal in his life, and now he couldn't even remember the name of the computer game.
What was it with people anyway? Why did they trust him? Especially with their kids? Lately he'd taken to letting the kids do exactly what they wanted, eat Oreos and fistfuls of Froot Loops and Cocoa Puffs until they spun like twirling tops from all that sugar. He let them watch cartoons until their eyes popped right out of their heads. He liked to see the kids happy. It made him feel good.
When that didn't work, he would sometimes set them in their cribs or their playpens and let them cry until their throats were hoarse and their noses so clogged they could barely breathe. Their sobs brought him much too close to the edge, much too close to his own tears, tears he'd worked hard to control. That was when he would walk right out the back door, sit under the nearest tree, and wait for the silence, because he couldn't bear to listen to their cries. Because he didn't know how to take away their pain.
Simon folded his arms and tucked his hands beneath them. He stared out over the river. If those same moms had followed him around this past year, they would have been horrified. They would have locked their children in their rooms for safekeeping, kept their pets in their basement, shuttered their windows, pulled down their shades, and shunned the very sight of him. He imagined that even his own mother, if she had still been alive, would have turned away from him.
Sometimes, on nights when the sky had just begun to turn violet, and strange shadows seemed to hover along the edge of his backyard where it ran into the neighbor's field and to the cemetery beyond, Simon thought he saw his mother rising from her restful place beneath the pines, where she had been buried more than a year earlier, to shake her head in disapproval. On such nights, he would see her at the edge of the field, and if he stared long and hard enough, squinting into the thin line of muted orange on the horizon, if he blurred his vision ever so slightly, he could almost make out the disappointment on her face.
On these nights, he was convinced she knew everything he had ever done and considered him beyond redemption. On other nights, when he was willing to cut himself a little slack, he told himself such notions were childish fantasy. Still, despite this rationale, he had discovered he preferred the shadowy form of disapproval, hovering beyond the edge of his yard, to nothing at all.
It was almost midnight and Simon's eyelids felt heavy. The lack of sleep was catching up with him, and now it seemed his mind was beginning to play tricks, because suddenly tiny frogs were springing out of the weeds, leaping off rocks, and sending their shrill calls into the night. They flew into Simon's lap, landed in his hair, crawled into the pockets of his cargo shorts.
Frantic, he jumped to his feet, beating the frogs from his head, all the while trying not to step on any of them as he made a dash for his Honda. Dozens of frogs crawled over his car. Fortunately he had left the windows up. Still, the peepers clung to the windshield like tiny suction-cup toys. Simon pounded his fist at them from the inside, but they refused to budge. If he turned on the windshield wipers he could launch the peepers right into outer space. Then again, maybe not. Maybe he would end up with a windshield smeared with frog guts, making it even harder to see. Forget the windshield wipers.
The rearview mirror was useless. The entire rear window was coated with frogs. So were the side windows. The only way he could see to back out was to roll down his window and risk letting the frogs inside the car. He rolled the window down a few inches, enough to peer out, then pulled out of the parking lot, hoping that once he was away from the river the frogs would disappear. But to his amazement, they were everywhere. They rose out of neatly manicured lawns and bounced along the tops of boxwood hedges; they were all over the road. And the sound, as he drove over them--hundreds, maybe thousands--was the sound of tar bubbles popping on a sun-scorched road.
He had never seen anything like this before--not in all the years he'd lived in Bellehaven--not in his entire life.
As Simon approached the community park with its fifteen-mile-an-hour speed limit, the car continued to speed along--fast, then faster. With any luck at all, the frogs would blow right off the windshield. But they hung on. The faster Simon went, the louder the popping noises from beneath his tires. Desperate, he turned the radio up full blast to drown out the horrible sound.
As he passed the park--a perfect square surrounded on three sides by stately Victorian homes and the county courthouse on the fourth--he had the bizarre sensation of being in a dream. Maybe all this was a hallucination brought on by lack of sleep. He'd heard of such things. Or maybe the hallucination was the result of the heat.
As he squinted through a clear space of glass in between the frogs, Simon's eyes fell on the huge white oak up ahead. It was the oldest tree in the county, dating back to the Revolutionary War. A battle-scarred soldier. The road had been lovingly built to curve around its thick roots. Beneath its sprawling branches a tarnished bronze plaque proclaimed this the Liberty Tree.
But Simon and the other kids at school called it the Hanging Tree because more than two hundred years before, a drifter named Jessup Wildemere was hanged from its branches for murdering Cornelius Dobbler right in his own bed while he slept, stabbing him so many times the blood formed a pool on the floor, seeped through the crevices, and stained the ceiling of the parlor below.
Up ahead, a dark shadow seemed to rise out of the damp earth in front of the bronze plaque. The shadow shifted, grew filmier in the glare of Simon's headlights, but he could see it had a form--the shape of a man.
Simon's breath caught in his throat. He was so startled by the shifting figure in front of him, he didn't realize he was still flying along at fifty miles an hour. And when he did notice, it was too late. In his panic his foot slammed down on the gas pedal instead of the brake. The car's engine roared in response. The Honda hydroplaned over the slick surface, going so fast Simon thought the car had sprouted wings. His fear was replaced with a sense of wonder, a sense of absolute freedom. He felt himself being lifted right into the air. Like a drop of water evaporating, he was out of the river. Yes!
The sirens didn't wake Danny Giannetti because he hadn't yet gone to bed. He sat on the porch roof outside his bedroom window, watching in wonder as, below, thousands of peepers converged on the front lawn. If he lay on his stomach and leaned carefully over the edge, his fingers clamped on the rusting gutter guards, he could see the frogs on the steps, on the porch railing, on the pillars. Their green bodies, almost black in the moonlight, were dark splotches on the white paint.
His first thought, when the emergency siren sounded, was that the town had declared war on the frogs. He half expected to see fire trucks tear down the street, firefighters blasting holes in the blanket of frogs with their hoses, half expected a cavalcade of police cars, with sharpshooter cops hanging from the windows, firing nonstop as peepers sprang into the air, looking like clay pigeons as they leaped for their lives. But the emergency siren stopped. And the distant moan of police car and ambulance sirens didn't seem to be coming anywhere near Maple Avenue, where Danny lay on the porch roof, listening carefully.
Once in a while, if you paid close attention, Bellehaven might give up one of its secrets. Somewhere in town behind one of these closed doors, maybe a life-and-death emergency was unfolding. Or maybe a crime, a robbery, or even a murder. Danny was hopeful, beside himself with anticipation.

Scott Brown Gets a Book Deal
Senator's "personal story," due in 2011, remains untitled.
Senator Scott Brown will be writing a memoir about "his family background, his early career, and his ascent to the office of Massachusetts senator," an achievement that publisher HarperCollins calls "one of the biggest political coups of the decade." "I am humbled to have the opportunity to share my personal story in hopes to inform, encourage, and inspire others," Brown said in a statement. The book, due in early 2011, is currently untitled. Any title ideas out there? From Cosmo to Politico? [AP]

The major market indexes are flirting with breakeven this
morning, as Wall Street awaits Uncle Sam's latest third-quarter
gross domestic product (
) estimates. Furthermore, traders are biding their time ahead of
the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) most recent meeting
minutes, slated for release later this afternoon. In the meantime,
traders are digesting the latest earnings from Hewlett-Packard (
), some upbeat news about the U.S. credit ratings, and Congress'
latest display of ineptitude -- though the supercommittee's
admitted failure last night was seemingly
already priced in to Monday's session
. Against this backdrop, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA)
and S&P 500 Index (SPX) are trading modestly north of fair
value, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite (COMP) is headed for a
slight drop out of the gate.
After the close last night, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ - 26.86) said
its fiscal fourth-quarter profit fell 91% to $239 million, or 12
cents per share, from last year's profit of $2.54 billion, or $1.10
per share. On an adjusted basis, HPQ's earnings decreased to $1.17
from $1.33 per share. Revenue, meanwhile, decreased 3.5% to $32.3
billion. The tech giant's results were better than expected, as
Wall Street was calling for a profit of $1.13 per share on $32.05
billion in revenue. Looking ahead, HPQ believes its adjusted
current-quarter earnings will be between 83 cents and 86 cents per
share, while its fiscal 2012 profit will be at least $4 per share.
Analysts are anticipating first-quarter earnings of $1.11 per
share, and a profit of $4.54 per share for the full year.
In other earnings news, Campbell Soup (CPB - 33.61) reported
fiscal first-quarter earnings of $265 million, or 82 cents per
share, compared to its year-ago earnings of $279 million, or 82
cents per share. Revenue dropped 1% to $2.16 billion. The results
were mixed, as Wall Street was looking for a first-quarter profit
of 79 cents per share on revenue of $2.21 billion. Looking ahead,
the soup maker reiterated its fiscal 2012 guidance for adjusted
earnings of $2.35 to $2.54 per share. Analysts, on average, are
calling for a fiscal-year profit of $2.37 per share.
Elsewhere, Jack in the Box (JACK - 20.12) reported a fiscal
fourth-quarter profit of $22.7 million, or 49 cents per share, up
from $4 million, or 7 cents per share, in the year-ago period.
Meanwhile, revenue fell by 10% to $504.2 million. Analysts, on
average, were expecting a profit of 40 cents per share on revenue
of $491.5 million. Looking ahead, JACK is predicting its adjusted
fiscal 2012 earnings to range between 90 cents and $1.10 per share,
falling short of Wall Street's forecast for a full-year profit of
$1.68 per share. The restaurant chain expects overall commodity
costs to rise by about 5% in 2012, with rising inflation applying
notable pressure to first-half results.

Economic Calendar
The government's latest GDP estimates will hit the Street today,
as well as a report on business activity in the Richmond Fed
district. Most notably, though, the FOMC meeting minutes are slated
for release at 2 p.m. EST. On Wednesday, Uncle Sam will release its
weekly jobless figures a day early, thanks to the Thanksgiving
holiday on Thursday. In addition, Wall Street will digest the
regularly scheduled crude inventories report, the final Thomson
Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index for
November, and monthly data on durable goods orders and personal
incomes and spending. The post-holiday economic calendar is bare on
Friday, when U.S. markets will shut down at 1 p.m. EST.
Market Statistics
Equity option activity on the Chicago Board Options Exchange
(CBOE) saw 1,026,042 call contracts traded on Monday, compared to
690,030 put contracts. The resultant single-session put/call ratio
arrived at 0.67, while the 21-day moving average was 0.72.
Overseas Trading
The major Asian benchmarks ended mixed today, as traders
considered new debt drama out of the U.S. The congressional
supercommittee's failure to reach an agreement to trim the federal
deficit contributed to a broadly negative session on Wall Street
Monday, but investors were somewhat relieved after both Moody's and
Standard & Poor's dismissed speculation about a potential U.S.
debt downgrade. In Japan, exporters caught a break as the yen
cooled versus the dollar, but Chinese equities came under pressure
after a central bank official predicted a possible trade deficit in
2012, due to ongoing economic weakness in the U.S. and Europe. By
the close, Japan's Nikkei dipped 0.4%, China's Shanghai Composite
slid 0.1%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 0.1%, and South Korea's
Kospi rose 0.3%.
Stocks in Europe are modestly higher at midday, as traders seem
relieved that a U.S. debt downgrade could be avoided. Among the
three major ratings agencies, only Fitch noted that it may
downwardly revise its outlook to negative as lawmakers on Capitol
Hill remain at an impasse. However, traders tempered their
enthusiasm after a Spanish bond auction saw yields rising to
14-year highs. At last check, London's FTSE 100 is up 0.4%, the
French CAC 40 has added 0.5%, and the German DAX has gained
Currencies and Commodities
The greenback has pulled back from multi-week highs today, with
the U.S. dollar down 0.3%. On the other hand, crude futures have
bounced back from their recent drubbing, with black gold last seen
1.3% higher at $98.15 per barrel. In the same vein, gold futures
are also on the rebound, with the front-month contract up 1.1% to
trade near $1,696.60 an ounce.

Very sweet.
I agree with Seraph. Work a bit mroe on the background it looks a bit rushed, and not up to the same level as the rest of the piece.
This and everything on you site is wicked dude. I love your mix of graphic design and illustration, the complement of digital and traditional techniques. Great stuff dude, I'm inspired.
WOW. just plain awesome. Did you use photoshop??
just cant stop looking at it.... Awesome!!!
love it. great job. rework the lighting on the left side cigarette box and you'll be gold.

daaaym, thats some cool stuff! love the composition, how things are flying about but not looking dumb or placed of anything. and i love the light source effects!
Really interesting and cool image!
I do think the usage of black is a bit overkill. Some dark gray vallues and not all black in the dark areas would strengthen the piece more imo.
Bad ass man - your gallery is great. Excellent integration of design and illustration.
Maybe add some detail in the bottom of the panel or even typography. It just doesn't look finished yet. I love all the floating stuff in your images, very cool.

NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez did not hit his 600th career home run on Sunday. Nonetheless, Rodriguez, the New York Yankees and their fans are breathing sighs of relief.
In the eighth inning of a 12-6 win over the Kansas City Royals, Rodriguez was hit by a 95 mph fastball, thrown up and in by Royals reliever Blake Wood.
Rodriguez dropped to the ground and didn't move for a few seconds as the crowd gasped, fearful that he had been hit in the face.
He eventually got to his feet, and was removed from the game for pinch runner Juan Miranda.
As it turns out, the ball connected with his left hand, and not dead-on. Rodriguez had only a small, purple bruise on his left hand after the game, and did not need to have the hand X-rayed.
Rodriguez said he felt "pretty much full strength" in his left hand after the game, and said that without question he would be able to play on Monday night in Cleveland.
"Obviously the hand is so sensitive. It's very easy to break a bone or chip a bone," Rodriguez said. "I'm just glad that none of that happened."
"Scary moment," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "He's such a big part of our club."
Neither Rodriguez nor Girardi thought that A-Rod getting hit was intentional on the Royals' part.
The plunking overshadowed the fact that for the third straight game, Rodriguez failed to hit home run No. 600 after hitting No. 599 on Thursday night.
The fans were desperate to witness history -- several thousand of them sat through a 2-hour, 32-minute rain delay in the sixth inning, undoubtedly just to see A-Rod get one or two more at-bats.
"Today was amazing," Rodriguez said. "They stuck around. I'm just disappointed that we couldn't share the moment together."
The Yankees were flying to Cleveland immediately after Sunday's game to begin a seven-game road trip against the Indians and the Tampa Bay Rays -- meaning A-Rod's 600th home run will now likely come on the road.
Rodriguez admitted he was swinging for the fences in that final at-bat in the eighth inning, with the Yankees comfortably ahead 9-3. In fact, on the pitch immediately preceding the one that hit him, A-Rod swung so hard at a 96 mph fastball that his legs buckled and he fell to one knee.
"Oh, there's no question about it," Rodriguez said, when asked if he was trying for a home run. "I mean, these fans waited for two hours. I was trying to imitate Reggie Jackson. I even went down on one knee. That was the most dangerous moment of the day, I think."
Another thing overshadowed by the plunking is that A-Rod, despite the lack of a home run in the final three games of this series, had three pretty darn good games. He went 5-for-12 overall, not including the hit-by-pitch. On Sunday, he had a double, a single and two runs batted in.
"I got some hits, drove in some runs, and most importantly we won three out of four [in the series] and continue to play good baseball," Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez is not having one of the best seasons of his career. But, rather quietly, he has now amassed 81 RBIs, placing him second in the major leagues, behind only the Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera.
Just imagine what the Yankees' lineup would have looked like if that 95 mph fastball was just a little higher and tighter.
"We got lucky," Girardi said.
Despite the absence of home run No. 600, they most certainly did.

Make $25,000 Unsecured Loans For Bad Credit: Loans For Fast Approval
When it comes to large unsecured loans for bad credit loans with no protection, like a $25,000 unprotected mortgage.
To get аn online signature loans for bad credit online fast and easily visit Your Bad Credit Loans at- http://www.badcredithelpwithpersonalloan.com
Find a Cosigner: Because a $25,000 unprotected mortgage includes no guarantee, there is really only one road to take to miss the issue - discover a co-signer. A co-signer is an individual who confirms to create the monthly obligations on part of the client, should the client discover himself incapable to do so. Finding someone willing to take on the economical debt of someone else is difficult, which is why bad credit loans is usually a loved one (like a mother or father, sibling or sister) who fills up the part. As a way to get individual bank mortgage acceptance without protection, this is probably the quickest and best way, though there are conditions that need to be taken note. First of all, even if a individual is willing to be co-signer, the lending company must be fulfilled they can be reliable. So, it is important the individual has a very a favorable credit ranking score record. Secondly, they need to be able to create the payments themselves, so the lending company may wish to see their economical details, particularly their earnings and debt-to-income rate. The best part about unsecured loans for bad credit, however, is that once a co-signer is approved, candidates can expect a essentially assured unprotected mortgage acceptance.
Improve Your Credit Score: Of course, enhancing your own credit ranking ratings can create a big difference when applying for a $25,000 unprotected mortgage too. The only issue is that it can take up much a longer period because only though paying unsecured loans for bad credit can a credit ranking score be enhanced. The best way to achieve this is to take out a sequence of small economical loans - for example $1,000 cash advance economical loans - and pay back them in full quickly. They do not have to be taken simultaneously, but with three or four economical loans returned over the course of 6 months or so, a loan provider will feel more happy giving individual bank mortgage acceptance without protection.

Health & Parenting
Healthy Lunchbox Tips
Lunch often gets lost in the hustle and bustle of getting kids off to school in the morning. You may prefer to give your child money for lunch rather than pack a midday meal. But it's worth reconsidering bag lunches because they often far healthier than standard cafeteria fare.
To make sure your child actually eats the healthy lunches you provide, try this advice from Hillary Wright, MEd, RD, a Boston-based nutritionist at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates and the mother of three boys.
Make the Grade With Lunch
"The most nutritious lunches include foods from at least three food groups, but that doesn't mean children must have the traditional sandwich, fruit, and milk for good health," says Wright. As long as youngsters eat a balanced and varied meal, it's perfectly fine to pack hummus, whole-grain crackers, and yogurt or leftovers from last night's dinner every day, as well as sandwiches.
The key is to respect your child's eating style and preferences. Some kids derive comfort from eating the same foods day in and day out while others balk at it. Work with your child, Wright says, and your child is less likely to drop lunch in the playground trash bin.
Get Kids Involved
Allowing children to choose and prepare their own lunch piques interest in the meal and makes it more likely kids will eat their own creations. Let your young child help make lunch the night before school for greater ease in the morning. You can help guide your children to the proper portions and healthy choices of whole grains, protein, and produce. Keep in mind, most elementary school-aged children are allowed a midmorning snack. Account for that when considering the amount of food you provide for lunch.
Make sure you have healthy fare on hand for your child to choose:
- Whole-grain breads or crackers
- Peanut and almond butters
- Light canned tuna fish
- Raw vegetables that can be cut into slices
- Fruits
- Encourage the kids to make sandwiches with whole-grain breads or bagels; tortillas; or colorful wraps. Try different sandwich fillings, such as tabouli mixed with feta cheese in a pita pocket, or a veggie burger.
For even greater buy-in, Wright recommends these simple steps:
- Let your children pick out their own lunchbox.
- Consider insulated lunch bags with room for a small freezer pack that allows you to send foods that must be kept cold, such as dip for fresh vegetables, yogurt, and orange juice.
- Or use larger lunch bags to avoid squishing foods.
- Have on hand small sturdy plastic containers for cut fruit, vegetables, dip, and lunch foods other than sandwiches.

The Dow Is Right Back Where It Started
All those gains, right out the window.
It was a very bad day for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which lost 274.88 points, or everything it had gained on the year so far. The cause? A god-awful jobs report, which sparked a stock selloff as investors worried about rising unemployment, European debt fears, and the entirely reasonable suggestion that we may be entering a double-dip recession.
Enjoy the weekend!

The thugs are a little too pretty to be total thugs, but that's a minor quibble in a video with some major dick. Well, specifically, Supreme whose dick could probably house a family of four. With a dog. Woof! Talk about packing. And he does: He packs a couple of butt-holes for good measure. Although you're going to wonder how Bebe bottoms for that thing without screaming his lungs out. With no real plot to speak of, it's also curious why the director would start the video with an okay scene when the true eye- and butt-opener is Supreme taking on Carmello. Sweet! Thugzilla and real-life lover Redd do what real-life porn lovers rarely can do: make it look interesting and new for the audience. Bravo, fellas. And Thugzilla is a thrilla with a pretty nice dick of his own. Not as big or curved as Supreme's (but whose is?), but Thugzilla more than holds his own (and Redd also enjoys holding it – and stuffing it into his purty booty). Though not consistent, the acting, production values, and editing all have good moments.
RETAILING: Recommend to lovers of thug videos, big dicks, and pretty black men.
