Reggie Bush shares first pic of his daughter - a day after Kim K gives birth
(Yahoo!) - This may be a battle for the cutest baby girl! Just a day after Kim Kardashian welcomed her daughter, her ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush shared the first snapshot of his month-old daughter, Briseis, with the world.
The proud papa posted a picture on Instagram on Sunday, holding his little angel in his arms. The adorable baby is Reggie and his fiancée Lilit Avagyan's first child together, and, judging by the cuteness of this little one, we can only hope that they continue to have more!
Enjoying my first Father's Day with my family! #blessed http://t.co/IjKLlUTv3S— Reggie Bush (@ReggieBush) June 17, 2013
While Reggie made the world wait for more than a month to meet their bundle of joy, ironically, the introduction came just a day after Kim gave birth to a baby girl of her own with her boyfriend, Kanye West.
But it doesn't seem like anything more than a coincidence. The former USC football star told Us Weekly in May, "I always wish her well. Always."
Check out this vid to see the NFL player's precious daughter for yourself, and be sure to tune in to "omg! Insider" on television tonight.

A psychologist is trained and specializes in human feeling, human communication, what goes wrong with these, and how we can fix what goes wrong. Only someone with a Ph.D or Psy.D in psychology (typically 5 years of graduate school) followed by a year or two of post-doctoral supervised experience and then a (passed!) licensing exam can identify themselves as a psychologist. Of the various kinds of counselors, psychologists typically have the most and broadest training in the many facets of human emotional/psychological issues, especially in psychotherapy. If you don't have specific reasons to see a particular counselor of another type, it would probably be wise to start with a psychologist to be sure you're considering all possibilities as you assess what's going on.

My approach is mainly psychodynamic and psychoanalytic, which addresses mental and emotional blocks, which we will identify in the first three sessions. I sometimes use other techniques: interpersonal, which involves a focus on relationships and uses the relationship with the therapist to gain insight. I also appreciate cognitive therapy, with it's emphasis on measuring and identifying progress, which can be clarifying and encouraging in short or long term therapy. I provide a gentle supportive approach that is tailored to your personality and needs. It is often most difficult to focus on the things that we don't like about ourselves - although if we can do that, change is possible.

Abu Anas al-Liby Captured Alive, Now a Rare Fate for Terror Suspects
The capture Saturday in Tripoli of an al Qaeda leader indicted for planning the 1998 attacks on U.S. embassies in Africa has reignited a debate in Washington over what to do with terrorist suspects who are taken alive.
e Barack Obama took office, scores of suspected al Qaeda leaders and terrorists have been killed in raids or by drone attack. But before the capture of Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, also known as Abu Anas al-Liby, only one other suspected terrorist had been captured and not killed in a U.S.-led counterterrorism operation.
His name was Ahmed Abdulkadir Warsame, and he was captured in international waters between Yemen and Somalia in the spring of 2011. Warsame was detained aboard a Navy ship for two months before the Obama administration acknowledged the capture. He was eventually transferred to the U.S. district court of New York, where he faces a civil trial. In March the FBI announced that Warsame pleaded guilty to providing material support to al Qaeda's affiliates in Yemen and Somalia.
At issue is whether a suspected terrorist captured in a foreign country should be given a trial in U.S. courts or face detention and military justice similar to the system established by George W. Bush at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. It has been Obama's policy since 2009 to close that facility, but Congress has passed a series of measures that have made it impossible either to transfer suspects from Guantanamo to a civil court or to close the prison and relocate it on U.S. soil. Obama has yet to send any new detainees to the Guantanamo Bay prison.
When Warsame was captured, leading Republicans including Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said the suspect should be sent to Guantanamo and tried by military commission. It's no surprise that this time around McKeon was quick with a statement urging the Obama administration to interrogate al-Liby thoroughly before turning him over to the courts.
"This terrorist leader has vast intelligence value that could be key to saving lives in the future," McKeon said. "I urge the administration to fully exploit this potential before moving al-Liby on to prosecution, rather than follow an arbitrary timeline. This can be done safely and humanely, but it must be done thoroughly."
So far the administration is not saying where it is holding al-Liby, although it wasreported late Sunday that he was aboard the U.S.S. San Antonio, a U.S. Navy ship. Earlier in the day, Pentagon spokesman George Little said, "He is currently lawfully detained under the law of war in a secure location outside of Libya."

We have just come out of a presidential election. Some Christ followers are happy, some are not, some have concern, and some continue to live in fear. I do not have a problem with concern, but I do have a problem with fear. Fear has the ability to imprison the faith and hope within us. Without faith, it is impossible to please God, and it is impossible to live in the overcoming power of the Kingdom of God within us.

God is Not in Control By Robert Ricciardelli
Presuppositions are not absolute truthThe title "God is Not in Control" may at first glance shock you, but let me explain. There are many believers that have fallen into a deterministic world-view. This view presupposes that all things regarding the people of God have already been determined, and that He is in control of all things. This presupposition directly opposes the reality of what the Word of God actually teaches us about the Father and His choosing to give freedom of choice to His … [Read more...]
Overcoming Our Presuppositions by Robert Ricciardelli
Locked and loaded in our presuppositions can cut off meaningful conversations, relationships, and truths that might be discovered through the perspectives of others. The suppositional truth we have adopted may not be absolute truth and if we become constant learners, we will evolve towards greater truth and understanding of God, ourselves, and the world around us. We must be willing to challenge our belief systems and allow for the Spirit of God to sweep away the false from our minds to make … [Read more...]

The Power of Treating Others Well by Robert Ricciardelli
The way you treat others has a direct impact on the effectiveness of your prayers, and the prayers of those who live righteously are powerful. When we aren't treating others with love, honor, and kindness, then we aren't allowing His righteousness to operate through us. We will realize a major power shortage in prayer and in life when we do not treat others well. We should seek wisdom and understanding in considering the needs of others. Forgive others, treat them kindly, and the power of God … [Read more...]

Your Greatest Hiding Place by Robert Ricciardelli

Loving Your Enemies by Robert Ricciardelli
Anybody can love a friend, but the proving of agape love comes when we love our enemies.

Students Pull Gun on Intruder, Now Face Expulsion
UPDATE: According to KOMO News, Gonzaga has decided to drop the charges against the students. The school is also going to reconsider the policy in light of the incident.
(NEWSER) – Two university students in Washington state are facing expulsion after they scared off a would-be intruder with a gun, KXLY reports. Roommates Erik Fagan and Daniel McIntosh were at their Spokane apartment, which is owned by Gonzaga University but is off-campus, when a six-time convicted felon who'd recently been released from jail knocked at their door two weeks ago. John Taylor asked for $15, but Fagan says he offered food or a blanket instead of money. "My gut instinct was telling me that I wasn't going to be able to get that door closed before he came through," Fagan says.

Jerrod Niemann surprised & scared about proposed next single
Listen to Jerrod Niemann on iHeartRadio
Jerrod Niemann says he's "very rarely speechless." But the country star tells RollingStone.com even he was taken by surprise with his label's suggestion for his next single. He says he simply "sat there for about three minutes" then questioned "what in the world" he just heard when "Donkey" was proposed as the follow up to his current hit "Drink To That All Night."
Jerrod adds that he finds the idea of making "Donkey" a single a little scary, but says if the record execs have the guts to do it then he does too. The singer admits the song attracts attention. He says he had the demo to "Donkey" on his playlist on his bus, and -- without exception, "no matter who" was with him on the bus -- "every time it came on, it stopped everyone in their tracks."
"Donkey" is on Niemann's new album High Noon, which is in stores now.

Chapters 12 and 13
Nehemiah as a necessary link in the history of God's dealings towards Jerusalem
The Book of Nehemiah will require but few remarks; but it is important to establish its import. It is a necessary link in the history of God's dealings, in the recital of His patience and loving-kindness towards Jerusalem, which He had chosen.
In Ezra we have seen the temple rebuilt and the authority of the law re-established among the people, who are again separated from the Gentiles, and set apart for God.
In Nehemiah we witness the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem, and the restoration of what may be termed the civil condition of the people, but under circumstances that definitely prove their subjection to the Gentiles.Synopsis by John Darby

Suddenly, Great Expectations for Iran-U.S. Relations
What was the venerable Brillo-haired boxing promoter Don King doing at a meeting between think-tankers and the president of Iran? We didn't know until the end.
There'd been a surprise announcement: a major breakthrough in nuclear negotiations with Iran over at the United Nations. A journalistic scrum suddenly surrounded the Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who'd delivered that news. But King, the man who once brought us the "Thrilla in Manila" and the "Rumble in the Jungle," jostled past the reporters to tell Zarif, "I want to promote 'A Fight for Peace in the Middle East!'"
This weird scene was not the most important moment, I suppose, in a day fraught with what seemed to be breakthroughs, but in its way it was the most emblematic. The United Nations General Assembly (or "Hell Week," as some call it) suddenly has turned into a circus of diplomacy, a riot of expectations. A "fight for peace in the Middle East"? That's what we're watching right now.
First came news that the Security Council, frozen by Western posturing and a Russian veto through two years of horrific war in Syria, is about to sign off on a resolution requiring the Assad regime to give up its arsenal of chemical weapons. The deal between Washington and Moscow, hammered out a few days ago in Geneva, seems to be holding up in New York. A senior State Department official called it "a breakthrough won through hard-fought diplomacy."
The resolution does not include the specific threat of military action—yet. But it left open that possibility if Syrian President Bashar Assad fails to act in good faith during the several stages of disarmament. A month ago, any such measures would have seemed inconceivable. Indeed, a month ago Assad was refusing to admit he had any chemical arsenal at all. But a month ago the horrific images of Syrian children killed by sarin gas, innocents swaddled in their shrouds, forced President Barack Obama to address the carnage. He threatened a punitive act of war. Despite a dithering Congress and a disdainful American public, the diplomatic doors opened. The Russians, of all people, came to Obama's rescue with the chemical-weapons disarmament gambit. The deal at the Security Council on Thursday was a continuation of that process.
But the even bigger revelation of the day was the progress made on a diplomatic agreement to end the threat of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons. No, nothing is signed, sealed, or delivered. Far from it. But what had appeared a shallow charm offensive by recently elected Iranian President Hassan Rouhani suddenly looked like it had substance.

Grieving Relatives Find Stranger in Casket
(NEWSER) – When Jerry Moon's relatives opened his casket during his funeral for a final look at their loved one, they were horrified to find the corpse of a stranger with a plastic bag over his head. The body of a 97-year-old man who died in hospice care had somehow been mixed up with Moon's body, dressed in Moon's clothes, and placed in the casket, KIRO reports. One of the 72-year-old Washington state man's sons says the funeral home told him his father had been cremated by accident—"and my father was terrified of being cremated." Hospice officials say they believe the mix-up happened after they sent the body to a mortuary.

INDEPENDENCE - It's rare when you hear LeBron James speak out about a coach's decision, but he didn't hide the fact that he wasn't pleased ( LeBron Unhappy ) with the fact that Zydrunas Ilgauskas didn't get to play Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks.
Had Ilgauskas played, he would have set the franchise record for games appeared in at 724, breaking G.M. Danny Ferry's record. Given his injury situation early in his career that is quite an achievement.
Coach Mike Brown said Ilgauskas was just a victim of circumstances ( Mike on Z not playing ) - in this case the Mavericks playing with a smaller lineup.
Let's be clear here. James was respectful with the way he answered the question and has legitimate reasons for feeling as he does ( LBJ supports Z ). He has an understanding of what Ilgauskas has meant to him and the Cavs over the years ( LeBron and Z history ).
But given what happened and as the game was winding down, what was the right way to handle that situation? Do you get Ilgauskas Minimal minutes and get him the record, or do you wait to a proper situation when he can be honored appropriately?
You tell me.
Post-mortem: Cavs 111, Mavs 95
The good: The Cavs did a complete 180 from Friday night's game against the Charlotte Bobcats - especially on the offensive side of the court. They shot 58 percent from the floor and as a team had 33 assists. While they weren't dominating defensively, they pulled out just enough in the fourth quarter to win the game running away. In that period, they held the Mavs to 33 percent shooting while they shot slightly better than 55 percent.
The better: The bench showed up in a big way tonight, scoring 40 points. Anderson Varejao led the way with 15. Jamario Moon followed with 13 and, yes, there was a Delonte West sighting. West, called into duty when the Mavericks went to a small lineup, delivered 10 points in 10 assists in relief duty. Just as noticeable - the 23 rebounds and 15 assists that they contributed.
The best: The Cavaliers showed some dominance on the boards tonight - out rebounding the Mavericks 39-24. Ten of those rebounds were on the offensive side of the court and led to 17 second-chance points.
Misc. notes: Because they elected to play with a small lineup, Zydrunas Ilgauskas didn't get get into the game, thus delaying his record breaking 724th game, a feat that would break G.M. Danny Ferry's record...Mo Williams 7-of-7 performance from the three-point line was a season best.
Game: Cavs (12-5) vs. Dallas Mavericks (12-5)
TV: FSOhio Radio: WAKR (1590 AM); WTAM (1100 AM), WHBC (1480 AM).
Starting lineups:
Cavs: LeBron James (F); J.J. Hickson (F); Shaquille O'Neal (C); Anthony Parker (G); Mo Williams (G).
Mavericks: Shawn Marion (F); Dirk Nowitzki (F); Drew Gooden (F); Rodrigue Beaubois (G); Jason Kidd (G).
Cavs: Leon Powe (knee).
Mavs: Quinton Ross (low back tightness) - Questionable; Erick Dampier (ill), Josh Howard (left ankle surgery) - Out.
Post-mortem: Bobcats 94, Cavs 87
The good: I could give credit for a late-game rally, but it was too little too late. It's becoming a trend with the Cavs that they clamp down on opposing teams defensively in the fourth quarter. They held the Bobcats without a field goal for the last 9:06. Too little, too late.
The bad: Once again the Cavaliers gave ground in the paint. The Bobcats deserve some credit because they had their outside and inside games working tonight. Gerald Wallace had both working as he scored on easy dunks, but killed the Cavs in the third quarter by connecting on 3-of-4 three-point shots.
The ugly: It took being down by 24 for the Cavs to wake up. The Bobcats went on a 16-7 run to open the third quarter. That was pretty much the ball game, despite the fact that the Cavs made a run at them.
Other notes: Despite 25 points and eight rebounds, LeBron James didn't have a particularly good game, as he turned the ball over six times in the game. As a team, the Cavs turned it over 17 times which led to 20 Bobcat points...Rookie Danny Green scored more points (two) than Delonte West...J.J. Hickson didn't see the ball much Friday, taking just two shots. That shouldn't be a big surprise given the Cavs had just 14 assists as a team against Charlotte.
Game: Cavs (11-4) at Charlotte Bobcats (11-4)
TV: FSOhio Radio: WAKR (1590 AM); WTAM (1100 AM), WHBC (1480 AM).
Starting lineups:
Cavs: LeBron James (F); J.J. Hickson (F); Shaquille O'Neal (C); Anthony Parker (G); Mo Williams (G).
Bobcats: Gerald Wallace (F); Boris Diaw (F); Tyson Chandler (F); Stephen Jackson (G); Raymond Felton (G).
Injured: Cavs: Leon Powe. Bobcats: None.
Officials: Eddie Rush, Joe Forte and Phil Robinson.
Owning the second best road record (6-2) in the NBA behind the Dallas Mavericks, the Cavaliers arrive in Charlotte having won three games in a row. The Bobcats have their own two-game win streak going as they impressively beat the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors. Their 35-point win against Toronto was the largest margin of victory in team history.
Big key to the game is how Anthony Parker handles the recently acquired Stephen Jackson. Jackson came to the Bobcats in a trade with the Golden State Warriors. Jackson scored 23 points in his team's win over the Raptors. Equally as important: LeBron's handling of forward Gerald Wallace who scored a season high 31 points against Toronto.
Yes, I had plans to write the normal pre-and-post look at tonight's game before the basketball god's saw fit to smack me on the nose again.
This time, the person that I caught a ride to The Palace at Auburn Hills had the wire that connects to his trunk disengage. Normally, that isn't much of a problem - unless your laptop is in it.
And there both of ours sat for a good portion before game time, putting me behind significantly - trying to get notes out, etc., etc., etc. So far it's been an interesting season as far as my laptop is concerned.
It was knocked from my hands in Minneapolis, Minn. and did its best imitation of a spastic gymnast, bouncing twice before the screen looked like a disassembled puzzled. But I digress.
On to tonight's affair, a game that had the potential to turn into a blow out for the Cavs.
The good:
Game: Cavs (9-4) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (5-7)
TV: FSOhio. Radio: WAKR (1590 AM); WTAM (1100 AM), WHBC (1480 AM)
Starting lineups:
Cavs: LeBron James (F); J.J. Hickson (F); Zydrunas Ilgauskas (C); Anthony Parker (G); Mo Williams (G).
76ers: Thaddeus Young (F); Elton Brand (F); Samuel Delambert (C); Andre Iguodala (G); Louis Williams (G).
Cavs: Shaquille O'Neal (shoulder strain) – OUT.
76ers: Jason Kapono (left ankle sprain) - QUESTIONABLE; Marreese Speights (MCL sprain, left knee) - OUT.
Mo Williams will have to watch 76ers point guard Lou Williams. In his past three games, Lou Williams is averaging 23.3 points on 59.1 percent shooting. He scored a season high 31 points in a 102-97 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Forward Elton Brand added a season high 22 points.
After starting out the season averaging 34.1 points per game, the 76ers bench has struggled averaging just 19 in their last two. The 76ers allowed the Grizzlies to score 102 points and are 1-5 when allowing teams to score more than 100. The Cavs are 8-0 when they score more than100 points in a game.
Post-mortem: Cavs (9-4) 105, Pacers (5-5) 95
The Cavaliers need to thank LeBron James (40 points), the refs and the free throw line for this victory. Yeah, OK, they should pat themselves on the back for some timely defense in the fourth quarter. Let's deal with them in order.
CLEVELAND - LeBron James has continued a friendship with the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry, that began two years ago when the rookie was in college.
Curry, who was born in Akron, was the first-round draft choice of the Warriors this past summer and started last night against the Cavs.
With some of the things happening to the Warriors - the controversy surrounding Stephen Jackson and the ongoing speculation about coach Don Nelson's status - James offered him some advice.
''I guess there was a little chaos on our team,'' he said. ''He's just making sure I was keeping my head straight, working hard and reminding me to get better everyday.''
James said that he's a fan of Curry's game and that he sees in him the ability to continue to improve and Curry, the son of former Cavalier Dell Curry, didn't arrive with the hype James, but because of what he accomplished at tiny Davidson College in North Carolina he came in with some notoriety and expectations - a couple of the reasons James reached out to him.
''I'm all about helping the guys that come after me. There are guys in the league and I'm all about giving advice,'' he said. '' This league could be a lot on a kid coming in. It could be a lot on anybody. ''
Tuesday's game marked the first time that the two squared off against one another on the court, however. Curry had a playful, yet serious answer when asked about that.
''Friends off the court once you're on the court all that goes out the door,'' he said. ''It's going to be fun just to go out there and compete. I should be a good atmosphere, so I am looking forward to it.''
Talk of Jackson The one face that went unseen was that of guard Stephen Jackson, who had figured prominently in trade rumors involving the Cavs. He eventually went to the Charlotte Bobcats for Raja Bell and Vladimir Radmanovic. Warriors coach Don Nelson said that trading Jackson was better for everyone involved and he's glad it was done sooner rather than later.
''It's good for us because we can move on. I think the last thing you want to do is have an unhappy guy all the way to the trade deadline and being forced into doing something,'' he said.
Jackson had become a malcontent in the Bay Area and the league fined him over the summer for publicly stating that he wanted to be traded to the Cavaliers. For the record, James said he was amenable to the idea because he's a big fan of Jackson's.
''I'm all for guys coming onto this team no matter who they are if they are going to be productive for our team and represent what we represent and that's a winning mentality,'' James said.
It is well known that Jackson would come with some baggage, but that wouldn't have been a problem for James because he believes they have the right locker room to handle another out there personality.
''There's big influences in here and we have a lot of guys who are always positive, who stay positive'' he said, ''and at the same time we try to make people understand that it's more than the game of basketball. Once you figure that out, the game of basketball becomes very easy.''
Buzzer beaters: Forward Anderson Varejao was a late scratch for Tuesday's game and probably will not play tonight against the Washington Wizards…Shaquille O'Neal sat again with a shoulder strain and it looks as if his situation won't be re-evaluated until later this week.
Post-mortem: Cavs 114, Warriors 108
The good: The Cavaliers continue to look better and better on offense after struggling early in the season. They knew that they would get involved in an up tempo game with the Warriors and they were able to beat them at it. Of course, it helps when you can shoot 58 percent from the floor in the process. LeBron James led the Cavs with 31 points, 12 assists, followed by second-year big man J.J. Hickson - 21 points, nine assists - who continues to develop and have his share of defensive woes in the process.
The bad: In the process of playing the Warriors game, they seemed to forget about defense. Golden State got off nine more shots and hit for almost 47 percent. Too many of those shots came on layups from not boxing out and second chance points as the Warriors scored 23 points on offensive rebounds. It's almost as if they figured they were going to be in a shootout, may as well just beat them at their game, not a defensive one.
The ugly: Seventeen turnovers for 25 points. Enough said. Had this been a fully manned team, the outcome may have been different given the number of turnovers.
Game: Cavs (7-3) vs. Golden State Warriors (3-6)
Time: 7 p.m.
Television: FSOhio
Cavs: LeBron James (F); J.J. Hickson (F); Zydrunas Ilgauskas (C); Anthony Parker (G); Mo Williams (G).
Warriors: Anthony Randolph (F); Vladimir Radmanovic (G); Mikki Moore (C); Monta Ellis (G); Stephen Curry (G).
Cavs: Shaquille O'Neal (shoulder strain); Leon Powe (left knee surgery).
Warriors: Kelenna Azubuike (left patellar tendon injury); Andris Biendrins (osteitis pubis) , Ronny Turiaf (left knee strain); Brendan Wright (shoulder surgery) - OUT, Cory Magette (hamstring) - PROBABLE.
Officials: Bill Spooner, Curtis Blair and Derrick Collins.
Coach Mike Brown said that Delonte West will be activated for tonight's game against the Golden State Warriors. How much playing time he gets remains to be seen. In West's three games of being inactive, others have stepped in to fill the void and his time.
''That depends on how the game unfolds in terms of his playing time, but he will definitely be in uniform with his teammates,'' coach Mike Brown said.
Guard Anthony Parker is starting to find consistency on both sides of the court and Jamario Moon has stepped up to claim minutes.
''We've had some success. Guys have played well; they've earned the minutes they've gotten, so it would be hard to take away from somebody and you have to find some minutes for him if possible,'' Brown added.
West has been inactive for the past three games as he continues to deal with issues related to his bipolar disorder. Team officials have not said why he's been inactive, but the troubled guard did miss the team's charter flight to Florida for their two-games against the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat.
Warriors invade Brown said he knows what he will be looking at as the Golden State Warriors come in to play tonight at Quicken Loans Arena - a bit of the unusual.
''They've got a bunch of a talented players and they try to junk up the game offensively and defensively which makes it hard,'' he said. ''It's a tough team with the style of play the use on both ends of the floor.''
Guard Anthony Parker agreed: ''They're a bit unorthodox. They do a lot of things you probably don't see again during the season, but I think this team is built to face any lineup and it's no excuse.''
O'Neal out Shaquille O'Neal wasn't at Quicken Loans Arena and will miss tonight's game with a shoulder strain. Brown couldn't say how long he would be out. Zydrunas Ilgauskas will start in his place.
Post-mortem: Cavs 107, Jazz 103
The jury remains out on the Shaquille O'Neal trade, but tonight was a perfect example of why the Cavs traded for him. O'Neal sat out the game with a shoulder strain and that left the Utah Jazz's guards free to do some damange. Chief among them: Eric Maynor, who replaced Deron Williams at the point tonight. Maynor scored 22 points tonight, some on jumpers but a lot of it driving to the lane. In total the Jazz scored 40 in the paint.
J.J. Hickson had another outstanding game tonight offensively, scoring 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting. It seems that his off court time with LeBron James this summer is finally paying dividends. He's less hesitant going to the hoop and he was undeniably aggressive tonight against the Jazz. It's the second night in a row he posted career best numbers. Part of it, as James said after the game, is that teams are not worried about him now. James also accurately pointed out that will change. How he adjusts to it will matter most, but it's not premature to say that Hickson may indeed be blossoming.
At the half: Cavs 59, Jazz 54
The Jazz's two rookies are continuing to play well, something they started in their game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Guards Wesley Matthews and Eric Maynor have combined for 24 in the first half to help the Jazz overcome what was once a 16-point lead.
Game: Cavs (6-3) vs. Utah Jazz (4-5)
Broadcast: TV: FSOhio. Radio: WAKR (1590 AM); WTAM (1100 AM), WHBC (1480 AM)
Starting lineup: LeBron James (F); J.J. Hickson (F); Zydrunas Ilgauskas (C); Anthony Parker (G); Mo Williams (G). Jazz: Ronnie Brewer (F); Carlos Boozer (F); Mehmet Okur (C); Wesley Matthews (G); Eric Maynor (G).
Injuries: Cavs: Leon Powe. Jazz: Matt Harpring, Deron Williams, C.J. Miles. Kyle Korver.
Officials: Bennett Salvatore, Eric Dalen, Pat Fraher.
Streaking: Cavs have won thred consecutive. Utah has won one.
What to watch:
The Jazz are without valued point guard Deron Williams as he deals with a personal problem related to his child's surgery. While Carlos Boozer will play, that means there is an opportunity for them to exploit that absence. His backup, Ronnie Price is out with a toe injury. Maynor has averaged 3.9 points in limited duty. Mo Williams has tossed in 53 points in his last two games, so he could have another nice scoring night.
MIAMI - LeBron James announced Friday night that the No. 23 may no longer be in his future. The Cavs' superstar said that he is leaning toward changing his jersey number next season to honor NBA legend and retired Chicago Bull Michael Jordan. ''The guy is the best basketball player we've ever seen. …If you see 23 you think of Michael Jordan. If you see guys flying through the air, you think of Michael Jordan,'' James said after the Cavs' 111-104 victory over the Miami Heat. ''If you see fly kicks, you think of Michael Jordan. He did so many things for the league it has to be recognized, not just by putting him in the Hall of Fame.'' James has flirted with the jersey change in the past. In addition to the No. 23, he also wore No. 32 at some points during his career at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. In the Olympics last year he donned the No. 6, the one he is likely to move to next season, he said. In addition to being a fan of Philadelphia 76ers legend Julius Erving, that particular number means some personal things to James, he said. His first son was born on Oct. 6, 2004 and his second son was born in June. More notably, James believes it's the only way that Jordan can be honored and is willing to petition other players who wear No. 23 to change numbers. ''You can't get the logo. We can have an argument about that, but Jerry West, he was unbelievable also,'' he said. ''And if you can't get the logo something has to be done, so I'm going to start and next year I'm going to change my number probably to six because I feel like no NBA player should wear 23.''To read more or comment...
So we're back to that privacy issue. This time as it related to Shaquille O'Neal. For those who missed the TMZ report O'Neal's wife has filed papers in a California court asking for a legal separation. She fled their Orlando area home with their kids and loaded up and moved to Cali.
No comments here other than the facts. And O'Neal, as anyone could understand, has asked for understanding:
Don't look for too much drama when it comes to the Cavs facing off against the Orlando Magic for the first time this year.
You'd think that with Shaquille O'Neal's history with that club it might be something more, but that's not the case. Shaq was the NBA's original Man of Steel, but Dwight Howard co-opted the persona.
Post-mortem: Cavs 100, Knicks 91
A quick look back:
I don't know about anyone else, but yorus truly is relieved that this is the only visit the Cavs make to Big Apple. While it was low key for the most part, the speculation and the the rumor mill turning make for a blah kind of experience. Everyone wants to play Nostradamus and predict where LeBron James will play next year. Let's try this: how about finishing THIS year first.
On the lineup change: Nice move moving J.J. Hickson to the starting lineup. As long as he continues to do his job - and coach Mike Brown is a lot more concerned with defense and his case than scoring - it has a chance to work over the long haul. The move allowed last year' s starting five to eventually get extended playing time together and it was during those moments in the first quarter the Cavs pulled away.
Maybe the Cavs werein a New York state of mind, but after three of their best quarters of the season, they went to sleep in the fourth allwoing the Knicks to significantly cut into their seemingly insurmountable lead.
Game: Cavs at Knicks
Broadcast: TV: ESPN. Radio: WAKR (1590 AM); WTAM (1100 AM), WHBC (1480 AM)
Starters: Cavs: LeBron James (F); J.J. Hickson (F); Shaquille O'Neal (C); Anthony Parker (G); Mo Williams (G). Knicks: Wilson Chandler (F); Danilo Gallinari (F); David Lee (C); Chris Duhon (G); Larry Hughes (G).
Officials: Ken Mauer, John Goble, David Guthrie
Streaking: Cavs have lost one. The Knicks have lost one.
What to watch:
The Cavaliers can't get caught up iin a the Knicks run-and-shoot game that Mike D'Antoni loves for his teams to play. They aren't exactly built for it.
Watch to see what LeBron James does. Last time at the Garden he put up 50-plus points and had a triple-double taken away from him.
Post-mortem: Bulls 86, Cavs 85
A few observations:
LeBron James said it himself. Right now, the team's primary problem remains on offense. They averaged more than 100 points per game last year and are nowhere near that this season. Allow me to add something to that. The free throw shooting sucks. I probably couldn't hit one to save my life, but I'm not paid to do that. On a night when charity shots were at a premium, they shot just 60 percent from the line. That was rather Ben Wallace-like of the whole team.
After that resounding return, Delonte West still hasn't been able to find himself out on the court. He scored just two points and looked out of sorts most of the night.
The Cavs are going to have to get more points off their bench. Tonight, they got just 12, eight of which came from Daniel ''Boobie'' Gibson. Zydrunas Ilgauskas went 0-9 on the night and West hit just 1-of-5.
While things look better on the defensive side, the Cavs still gave up points to the wrong person. They did a fantastic job of containing Derrick Rose for three quarters, only to allow him to get in the lane for shots and assists and the fourth. Rose scored 10 points in the fourth and tossed out five assists in the same span, giving the Bulls the lift that they needed.
Game: Cavs (3-3) vs. Chicago Bulls (3-2)
Broadcast: TV: TNT Radio: WAKR (1590 AM); WTAM (1100 AM), WHBC (1480 AM)
Starters: Cavs: LeBron James (F); Anderson Varejao (F); Shaquille O'Neal (C); Anthony Parker (G); Mo Williams (G). Bulls: Luol Deng (F); Taj Gibson (F); Joakim Noah (C); John Salmons (G); Derrick Rose (G).
Officials: Ron Garretson, Michael Smith, Eli Roe
Streaking: Cavs havewon three in a row, the Bulls one.
What to watch:
The Bulls are counting on Derrick Rose to get back into game shape - and soon. Last year's rookie of the year sat out most of the preseason with a sprained ankle and has yet to work himself back into game shape.
The Bulls need him because they've struggled offensively in their four games thus far, shooting just 40.9 percent from the floor after four games. They are, however, coming into Quicken Loans Arena with some momentum as they beat the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday night in dramatic fashion, erasing an 18-point deficit to do so.
There is one big difference in the Bulls this year, however. Ben Gordon, a guy who always seemed to find his shot against the Cavaliers is now plying his trade with the Detroit Pistons. His absence certainly figures into the Bulls' offensive woes thus far.
CLEVELAND - It looks as if Delonte West will be in coach Mike Brown's rotation until he has to deal with his legal issues. But even with West back, Brown doesn't plan to make any changes to his starting lineup just yet. ''For now I like it and I'm going to keep grinding away to see how it turns out, but if I feel like I need to make a change, I will,'' he said. Of course West was last year's starter at shooting guard, the spot now occupied by Anthony Parker (9.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists) and that may very well happen again. I haven't said anything to our team about this being set in stone or this is how it's going to be for the rest of the year,'' Brown said. Brown is aware of the lift that West's presence provides to his team, but that alone doesn't guarantee a starting spot. ''Whenever he's on the floor and it would be the same if we were missing Z or LeBron or Mo or Andy, when that piece comes back on the floor, you tend to get a boost,'' he said. West and refs One of the first things casual observers jumped on regarding West was a technical foul he received on his first night back. For anyone else that might have been no big deal, for West, given recent events, there might be a tendency to over react. Brown isn't, however. ''I don't like any of our guys getting techs, so anybody who gets (them), I'm going to watch close,'' he said. ''We pride ourselves on being a no-excuse team, but yeah we want to get our point across at times, but we do not want to give up points to help our opponent just so we can get the last word in.'' Rose in bloom? Chicago Bulls point guard phenom Derrick Rose sat out most of the preseason with a sprained ankle. By all accounts he's looked a bit rusty in the regular season and that injury still isn't fully healed. Brown doesn't expect that ankle to be a hindrance as the Bulls stampede into Quicken Loans Arena tonight. ''He's developing very well. You can just feel the maturity he has on the floor, comfort level he has on the floor has just skyrocketed,'' he said of Rose. ''He's already talented as it is. He's already athtletic as it is and now he's putting it all together.''To read more or comment...
Normal format blown by other duties tonight:
Tonight the Cavs flashed what they could look like under ideal circumstances in a couple of ways.
First there was trying to get Shaquille O'Neal going in the middle. When the offense stagnated just a little, coach Mike Brown and his teammates got O'Neal going by tossing him the ball down low. The result: O'Neal found a rhythm and hit a number of high percentage shots. He scored 21 points on the night and grabbed eight rebounds.
Secondly going to Shaq forced the Wizards to pay attention to him with double teams, which enabled him to find teammates for easy looks. When he wasn't doing that, he was getting fouled, something that helped contribute to the Cavs' comeback. In the second quarter they entered the penalty early and march to the free throw line.
O'Neal helped his team's call by actually hitting his free throws, connecting on 7-of-10.
Defensively, the new pieces to the puzzle look to finally be getting Brown's system. For the game they held the Wizards to 39 percent shooting from the floor. Through the last three quarters, that was a whopping 33 percent on 16-of-49 shooting.
Was the game perfect? Given their sluggish start, falling down by 18 at one point, no. But for three quarters they played nearly flawless basketball.
And the charges are worse than probably expected...To read more or comment...

One of the teams playing in tonight's Cavs-Wizards game is living in a fantasy world.
Here's a tip, it's not the Cavs. At least one Wizards player, DeShawn Stevenson, still believes that this meeting tonight renews a rivalry.
The rivalry filled with Papa John's Pizzas, Soulja Boy vs. Jay-Z and said Stevenson not being able to feel his face.

Carrie Underwood eager to take over 'Sunday Night Football' theme
Listen to Carrie Underwood on iHeartRadio
Carrie Underwood can't wait to make her debut singing NBC's "Sunday Night Football" theme. She tells CMT Radio she's watched the weekly NFL games for years, so to now "be a part of that is exciting."
The country star adds that it wasn't a tough decision when she was asked to take over the song from Faith Hill. Carrie says it sounded like fun to follow in Hill's footsteps and "do something really cool like that."
Faith announced in April that she was ending her run singing the Joan Jett-inspired "Waiting All Day For Sunday Night" theme to NBC's broadcast, after six seasons providing the customized opening to the games.
Underwood will begin her tenure with the Dallas Cowboys-New York Giants game on September 8th.

Israel has five main growing regions with the majority of wines coming from the northern region. Its temperate conditions make it ideal for growing. The Mediterranean climate offers a rather dry growing season – a blessing and a curse. It requires additional irrigation, but it keeps away diseases that thrive in damper climates. The climate naturally produces higher sugar levels, so winemakers tend to work on the acidity of the wine to keep it balanced.
Although wine has been produced in Israel since biblical times, winemaking in the country didn't take off until the last couple decades. The region's wine is made mostly from imported French grape varieties to produce both red and white wines. Drinkers often confuse Israeli wine for kosher wine. Not all Israeli wine is kosher, but the vast majority from the country has a kosher certification. Be sure to read the labels carefully if you are looking for kosher wine and keep in mind that Israeli and kosher and not mutually exclusive.

NYPD Twitter campaign backfires big time
(NEWSER) – A New York City Police Department campaign to get Twitter users to share photos of themselves with officers got a massive response—but not the kind the department had in mind. Instead of citizens posing with friendly cops, the #MyNYPD tag became the top trending hashtag on Twitter with thousands of photos of police brutality, Occupy Wall Street arrests, and headlines about unarmed citizens being shot, reports the New York Daily News. (See plenty of examples at the Daily Dot.)

'Dead' Man Caught After 18 Months on the Run
(NEWSER) – Things that happened to banker Aubrey Lee Price in 2012: The FBI started looking for him, and he apparently convinced his family (and a judge) that he had offed himself. The convoluted case took a big turn on Tuesday, though, when a Dodge Ram was stopped in Brunswick, Ga., due to the heavy tint on its windows; the driver was arrested after police discovered he had multiple forms of ID featuring multiple photos, and he eventually revealed himself as Price, telling the sheriff, "Sit down. I'm going to make you famous," reports the Florida Times-Union.

How to help donate to victims of Typhoon Haiyan
With reports of more than 10,000 estimated casualties, and an excess of 9 million people affected, Typhoon Haiyan is one of the most devastating storms ever to make landfall.
With the Red Cross and other agencies saying they expect the number of casualties and total damage from the storm to soar, there are many organizations stepping up to provide relief to the victims and families of Haiyan.
Here are just some of them:
- The United Nations' World Food Programme estimates that 2.5 million people will need food assistance in the regions affected by Haiyan. They have set up a page where you can donate to efforts aimed at providing relief to families and children affected by the typhoon.
- United Nations' Childrens' Fund (UNICEF) is rushing to deliver aid to the estimated 4 million children affected by Haiyan. "Children urgently need access to safe water, hygiene supplies, food, shelter and a safe environment to recover," the group said.
- Catholic Relief Services is another major organization helping to collect relief funds for the recovery efforts.
- CARE teams are on the ground in typhoon-affected areas of the Philippines and CARE plans to provide emergency relief to thousands of families.
- ChildFund International has been on the ground in the Philippines since 1954. In addition to providing food, water and shelter for typhoon victims, the organization is also setting up counseling centers for children affected by the disaster.
- Save the Children is directing donations to help children in the Philippines, Vietnam and Laos. They've also said they will set aside 10 percent of all donations to create a new fund for similar future emergencies.
- Oxfam is also working on relief efforts to provide clean water, food, medicine and shelter to victims.
- Action Against Hunger is providing water, food and sanitation services. Having been on the ground in the Philippines for over a decade, the organization is also working to provide a greater damage assessment.

Australia: We've found pings again
(NEWSER) – Australian officials have sounded a fresh note of confidence in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, saying they've reacquired underwater signals following a lapse into silence. Search chief Angus Houston says an Australian navy vessel detected two sets of pings yesterday in the same area that signals were detected over the weekend, reports the Sydney Morning Herald. "I'm now optimistic that we will find the aircraft, or what is left of the aircraft, in the not too distant future—but we haven't found it yet, because this is a very challenging business," Houston told reporters.

Serious travelers love Heys, the Canadian company known for its hard-shell 4WD Xcase — "the world's lightest carry-on luggage." Lightweight, but incredibly tough: so tough, in fact, that a news station crew once experimentally ran over a Heys suitcase with an SUV and it came out remarkably unscathed. Founded in 1986, Heys designs its streamlined suitcases and luggage sets to stand out in baggage claim — covering them in bright colors and patterns like zebra and plaid. Best-sellers like the hard-case, Sidewinder three-piece spinner set and Disney-themed backpacks and luggage sets for kids make travel both convenient and kid-friendly, a winning combination for any family on the go.

Slight uptick in "Duck Dynasty" return viewership
Birds of a feather apparently flock together. "Duck Dynasty's" loyal fan base returned to the series Wednesday night in similar fashion to the last season closer. Following a controversial month that saw the suspension and reinstatement of "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson, Wednesday night's episode drew eight-point-five-million viewers to the series, up slightly from the eight-point-four-million who tuned in to "Duck's" Season Four finale last October. But when compared to the show's fourth season premiere last August, there is a noticeable drop-off from the nearly 12 million viewers who tuned in for that summer episode.
Just two weeks after A&E suspended him for controversial remarks about gays and African-Americans in a "GQ" interview, Robertson was reinstated to "Duck Dynasty" after much fan backlash. A&E said Robertson would not miss an episode of filming for the show's next season.

Easy To Use, Too Easily Filled

The drive holds less than 4000 photos. While it is simple and easy to use, the capacity is less impressive.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Loved the first one - bought a second!
By Jerry
from Tucson, AZ
I use it to store pictures from first digital camera that is 12 years old - consolidating memory sticks. The higher the resolution the less pictures it holds. Can even edit pictures on the Picturekeeper. I will buy more as I take more pictures.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It works!
By Fiona
About 3 years ago I had a company that gets into your computer and fixes it. Unfortunately they left my pictures off and I had to ask them to fix them. They broke up all folders and gave eveything new numbers and I'm still trying to get them fixed. At least I now have them stored on the photo storage vault so if I mess up on my computer I know my pictures are safe.

Easy to use. Storage is overstated.
By Don 2
from Marco Island, FL
The storage capacity of 8000 photos is based on 1MB per photo. I was only able to get 2800 photos on the device before it said "full". So my photos are clearly more than 1MB each. Check some of your photos before deciding which device to buy. You may need more capacity than you think.
Greatest little gadget ever
By deejae

Didn't realize my husband, who is a professional photographer had 32,000 pics on his computer...had to purchase the biggest thumb drive made...it holds 250,000. That should hold us for awhile.

Van der Sloot Marries in Prison, Mom Sends Gifts
(NEWSER) – It's wedding day in Peru for convicted murderer Joran van der Sloot. The 26-year-old Dutchman who remains the chief suspect in the 2005 disappearance of US teen Natalee Holloway tied the knot in prison today with a Peruvian woman pregnant with his child. (CNN names her as girlfriend Leidy Figueroa). Van der Sloot's lawyer says prison officials prohibited video and photos during the midday nuptials and that none of the groom's relatives were expected. Lawyer Maximo Altez says Van der Sloot's mother did send a tailored suit and dress shoes fitting his extra-large feet. Van der Sloot was sentenced to 28 years in prison two years ago for the 2010 murder of a Lima woman he met in casino. She was killed five years to the day after Holloway's disappearance in Aruba.

Considering Christopher "Chippa" Wilson's popularity today, it's hard to believe four years ago he was working with his dad in Cabarita Beach, Australia—banging nails, chopping trees, bagging brush, and earning a nickname from his wood chipper duties.
These days, partly in thanks to Stab's 2009 "Little Weeds" online video competition, the world recognizes Chippa for his true talent: an uncanny and arguably unmatched above-the-lip prowess. And so now, the only thing he's bagging is clips.
He's had waves in the closing section of Lost Atlas and has already produced a signature film. At the moment he's several days into an Indo trip for us here at TransWorld SURF—and this morning stomped a what-the f—k-was-that backside air three you'll have to see to believe. It came attached in an email from filmer Jerry Ricciotti with one short, sarcastic sentence. "Think this is worth saving for the movie?"
Make sure to pick up a copy of said 2012 TWS movie—Let's Surf Seriously, starring Chippa among myriad of others. With the clips we've complied so far this year, it's going to blow your mind!—Zander Morton

Colorado sees huge spike in travel demand in wake of legal pot sales
Since Colorado began allowing retail stores to sell recreational marijuana on Jan. 1, interest in travel to the state has spiked, according to a data research company.
Online searches for travel deals to the Mile High state have outpaced all other destinations in the United States, according to a study by Boston-based Hopper Research.
"Flight search demand for Denver has been 6.3 percent above the national search average since Dec. 1," the study found. "Demand has been up at least 10 percent for each of the last three weeks, and peaked at a 14 percent increase during the first week of January. Last year, the search demand to Denver during the same time period tracked at or below the national average."

Texas executes Mexican despite 11th-hour outcry
(NEWSER) – A Mexican national was executed last night in Texas for killing a Houston police officer, despite pleas and diplomatic pressure from the Mexican government and the US State Department to halt the punishment. Edgar Tamayo, 46, received a lethal injection for the January 1994 fatal shooting of Officer Guy Gaddis, 24. Asked by a warden if he had a final statement, he mumbled "no" and shook his head. Tamayo's lawyer had claimed he was mentally ill and developmentally disabled.

Big business bullies Americans into the machinery of Common Core
As The LEGO Movie told us, through the story arc of its villain, Lord Business, the biggest threat to freedom posed by technology is not that machines will make us into slaves. It's that our best and brightest will think of us, and themselves, as no more than machines—and use their power to rule accordingly.
That is why you don't have to be a Tea Partier to recoil in disgust at the all-out PR campaign Big Business is launching to shove as many Americans as possible into the machinery of Common Core.
There are a host of complaints about Common Core, the state standards initiative for consistent education guidelines. Some people worry about Washington bureaucrats telling Americans what they have to learn. Some worry about public schools telling educators what they have to teach. Some argue that all standards do is transform education into an exercise in successfully gaming test after test. Some even fear that teachers can't be expected to achieve that success at the drop of a hat.
We need to bluntly confess that all these concerns and more boil down to a single bad idea—one that's revealed by Big Business's insanely obdurate and fanatical devotion to the ideals of Common Core.
The Common Core standards owe their existence to the appeal of a simple master concept: Everyone should be an employee.
Once, our lords of business believed that everyone should maximize their profits. That hoary ideal has gone out the window, as corporate America fell in love with its vision of itself as more than an economic engine—a way of life.
Corporatism, the cozy, rigged relationship between big business and big government, isn't primarily driven by a quest for goodies and status, although those make for pleasant enough perks. It's animated by a deeper longing to transcend mere money making and find meaning in loving mastery.
Quite like Lego's Lord Business, today's corporate interests view the ideal world as one in which employment is perfected. Full employment is just a means to the end of perfect employment—a dreamland in which, as the theme song goes, "everything is cool when you're part of a team," and the team includes everyone.

WATCH: Beyonce asks fan to put down camera during concert
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
Apparently Beyonce can do no wrong in the eyes of her fans. During her Friday concert in Atlanta, the superstar asked a fan in the audience to put their camera down while she was performing.
It happened during a pause in the show when she interacts with concert-goers by picking random people to sing the lines "To the left, to the left" from her song "Irreplaceable." When one audience member was too distracted by his camera to realize that she'd approached him with her mic, Beyonce gave him a lesson in how to. She playfully scolded him for being "too busy taping" to see that she was "right in your face." She added, "You gotta seize the moment, baby!" The crowd is heard bursting into applause.
Though her fans don't seem to mind, some in the media have taken issue with Beyonce's protectiveness over her image in the past. The star implemented a no-photo policy for her "Mrs. Carter Show," banning photographers and only releasing a few select images.

Country's most formidable gals will represent at the Grammys
(Yahoo!) - Country music will be in full force at this year's Grammys — and, quite attractively represented, as well. Three of country's biggest stars, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, and Miranda Lambert will be performing live on the 55th annual awards program February 10.
Lambert is the latest country gal to join the performance roster, announcing her slot on Tuesday during an appearance on The Talk. "The Grammys are so exclusive, and it's all genres, it's not just country, it's everybody voting for you," she noted.
"It just means the world to have a nomination and get to perform," added Lambert, who is up for Best Country Album. "It's so nerve-wracking though—it's like everybody out there. Everybody that's anybody!"
Grammy veteran Underwood (she's got five of the awards already) was announced as a performer last week. She's competing in the Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance categories for her track "Blown Away."
As for Swift, she was part of the initial performers' announcement earlier this month. She's up for three awards, including the coveted all-genre Record of the Year distinction for "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."
The 55th annual Grammy Awards will broadcast live from Los Angeles on CBS, starting at 8 ET/PT.

Guns N' Roses DJ Ashba gets married!
Listen to Guns N' Roses on iHeartRadio
Guns N' Roses guitarist DJ Ashba is a married man.
The "Las Vegas Review-Journal" says the rocker tied the knot with Colombian model Nathalia Henao at the Little Church of the West in Las Vegas on Monday.
The 21-year-old bride wore a white chiffon dress for the ceremony, while her 40-year-old groom was decked out in a black suit and tie.
The two have known each other for three years, and wed after a month-long engagement. Ashba popped the question in August with an elaborate and controversial helicopter tour of Las Vegas - courtesy of the local police department.
When Ashba shared the details his "magical" moment on Instagram, he prompted an internal investigation into the alleged misuse of police department resources.
I would like to thank each n' everyone of you for the love n' congrats! Your support means the world to both of us! Much Love~ #blessedlife— A S H B A (@DjASHBA) September 24, 2013

Darrelle Revis isn't sure if younger players believe in Buccaneers coaching staff, Schiano
In falling to 0-7, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are an abject failure with issues nearly across the board. Atop that list is the coaching situation.
To say that head coach Greg Schiano is embattled is to say that Congress has an image problem. When the streets of Tampa are lined with "Fire Schiano" signs and the defensive coordinator is inviting fans into meetings rooms for game-planning sessions, the brakes on the car have been cut and it's a fast trip downhill.
After Thursday night's loss to the Carolina Panthers, several Buccaneers players were asked about the state of the team. Perhaps the most interesting response came from cornerback Darrelle Revis, who clearly thought he was joining a contender in Tampa.
Revis was asked if he thought the younger Bucs players still believed in the coaching staff. His first three words, via JoeBucsFan.com, which were repeated once, are telling:
"I don't know. I don't know." Revis said. "You know, we got a game plan every week. We gotta stick to the gameplan. We gotta abide by the gameplan and what we're trying to do to win. I don't think guys are literally going out there and trying to do their own thing. You know, in every game there are mistakes up and down the board. You know, the word that we have to get to and we have to focus on is consistency. That's all. And at this point, that's a hard word for us to try to do, to try to do that, to be consistent."

Colorado Wildfire Now a 'Crime Scene'
(NEWSER) – Colorado's Black Forest fire is now 65% contained, but authorities are still puzzling over the cause of the blaze that's destroyed at least 483 structures. Now, the El Paso County sheriff is calling the 16,000-acre fire a "crime scene" until there's proof to the contrary, CNNreports. "It has far expanded beyond just my arson investigator," says Terry Makata. "We have brought experts in"—including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives—"to give us the greatest possible chance to not only determine the cause, but whether there was criminal intent or not."
