Is your family becoming addicted to technology? Do you find out dinner is ready in the other room via a text message? Social media expert Chris Brogan is the author of Trust Agents: Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust. "Like with all things, it's all in moderation. You need to start setting some boundaries," he tells parents. Chris gives his tips to find balance in your tech addicted family:
1. Have device-free meals: No one is allowed to use cell phones, parents included.
2. Set up weekend Luddite rules. On Sunday, go six hours without any technology, sort of like a fast. Then try to build on that.
3. Plan status-making experiences. Encourage offline activities, like going to a park or concert — like field trips to the real world — that you can talk about online at a later time.
4. Teach your kids etiquette and manners. Set boundaries on where and when the devices can be appropriately used. Teach your children that these digital tools are a great part of relationship maintenance, but that face-to-face communication is still the best of all tools.
5. Be careful of the kind of cell phone you give your child. Don't give him or her too much technology too soon. Consider pre-paid phones for kids, because there are protections built in. Look for a provider that helps parents monitor and protect, as well as allows for parental controls and access management. A cell phone with a blacklist and whitelist feature is a helpful tool. The blacklist is phone numbers the phone cannot receive calls from. The whitelist is the approved phone numbers of family and friends that can go through.

All-Academic Men's Teams | Individuals
All-Academic Women's Teams | Individuals
PHILADELPHIA - Kelsey Hay, Sam Mattis and Brendan Smith were all named All-Academic by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) on Wednesday. In addition, both the Penn men's and women's programs were honored as USTFCCCA All-Academic teams.
Individuals earn the academic honor for their combined efforts in competition and in the classroom. To qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic track and field team, the student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 and have met either of the following athletic standards: for the indoor season, a student-athlete must have finished the regular season ranked in the national top 96 in an individual event or ranked in the national top 48 (collective listing) in a relay event on the official NCAA list; for the outdoor season, a student-athlete must have participated in the NCAA Division I Championships.
Hay, Smith and Mattis each reached the NCAA Outdoor Championships last season. Hay was a second-team All-Ivy honoree in the javelin and is currently second all-time at Penn in the event. Mattis competed in the First Round of the NCAA Championships after he set the school record in the discus and won the heptagonal championship with a meet record toss in the event. Smith qualified for the NCAA meet in the steeplechase and reached Penn's all-time top 10 in the event with the eighth-fastest time (9:00.58) in school history. Smith and teammate Thomas Awad will also represent the Quakers at the Pan-American Junior Championships in Colombia in August.
A total of 187 women's institutions and 111 men's program's earned the All-Academic team distinction as a result of earning a cumulative team GPA of 3.00 or higher. The Penn men finished with a cumulative GPA of 3.15, while the women combined for a 3.16 GPA.

By Ryan Divish The News Tribune
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Felix Hernandez was long an afterthought in the final moments of Thursday night's game. He wasn't a factor in the mess in the seventh or eighth innings. He didn't get saddled with the loss.
However, in most ways, the Mariners' wild and crushing 10-9 loss to the Los Angeles Angels fell on his shoulders. And he accepted every ounce of blame. Given eight runs of support and a 7-0 lead in the third inning, the Mariners' ace and former Cy Young winner couldn't make the rare run support hold up.
"I just blew the lead," he said. "It's all my fault, nobody else, just me."
In a season filled with losses that have been the equivalent of punches in the stomach, the loss to the Angels on Thursday might have been the most painful.
The Mariners finally scored runs, and plenty of them, and the guy they trust the most couldn't turn that unusual offensive performance into a victory.
"He just had a bad day," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "He's human. Every now and then again, you see that he is human. This is the big leagues and he just had a bad day."
And it's true. It's so odd seeing Hernandez seem hittable. But he was from almost the very beginning.
He was mediocre all night. He had little, if any, command with his fastball. It was up in the strike zone, and when it wasn't up, it was bouncing in front of the plate.
"When he is really good, he stays in his delivery, his arm slot is consistent and his release point is consistent. He was kind of all over the place with that today," Wedge said.
For once run support wasn't an issue. The Mariners scored eight runs in four innings. In their previous four games on the road trip, the Mariners scored a combined eight runs.
Seattle's offense got rolling from the very beginning. The Mariners scored three runs in the first inning as Endy Chavez led off the game with a double and Nick Franklin doubled him home moments later. Kyle Seager punctuated the inning by blasting a two-run homer to right field. It was his ninth home run of the season.
The Mariners chased Angels starter Tommy Hanson in the third inning, scoring four more runs off him with Kendrys Morales delivering a big RBI single.
After three innings, Hernandez had a 7-0 lead to work with. That should have been plenty for the Mariners' ace and former Cy Young winner. It wasn't.
He gave up what seemed like inconsequential run in the third inning, followed by another in the fourth, but still had an 8-2 lead.
His outing fell apart in the fifth inning. Peter Bourjos led off with solo homer to center. The Angels then collected six more hits and scored four more runs, highlighted by a three-run homer from Mark Trumbo that cut the lead to 8-7. Hernandez gave up a total of seven hits in the inning. It's the most hits he's ever given up in one inning in his career.
"No excuses," he said. "It's my fault."
He was done after the fifth inning.
Wedge was forced to go to his bullpen. They offered little relief.
The Angels tied the score in the sixth off of Danny Farquhar on an RBI single from Pujols.
Seattle showed a little moxie, retaking the lead in the eighth inning. Brendan Ryan drew a lead off walk and later scored on Seager's fourth hit of the night — a double to right. For the night, Seager finished 4-for-5 with a homer and two doubles.
The Mariners bullpen again gave up the lead.
Set-up man Carter Capps started the eighth inning and promptly gave up a lead-off single to Bourjos. The speedy Bourjos y stole second and then advanced to third on Henry Blanco's throwing error. He scored moments later on Erick Aybar's single to left. Mike Trout followed with a single — his fourth hit of the night — to put Aybar at third and end Capps' night.
Wedge called on Yoervis Medina to figure out a way out of the jam. Pujols hit a hard ground ball to a drawn-in infield. Nick Franklin made a heady play, firing to third to get Aybar caught in a run down and then tagged out.
With the runners moving up to second and third with one out, Wedge had Medina walk Trumbo to load the bases. The move almost paid off. Howie Kendrick hit a sharp grounder to the left side of the infield where shortstop Brendan Ryan made a diving stop and fired to home from his knees to get a force out on Trout.
It looked as though Medina might escape with the score tied, but he walked Alberto Callaspo on four pitches to force in what would be the game-winning run.
Angels closer Ernesto Frieri shut the Mariners down 1-2-3 in the ninth to save the improbable win.

Marketing agencies are very careful to use advertisements with memorable visual symbols because they make a lasting impact. For example, the golden arches unmistakably identifies a particular fast food restaurant chain while a white flag with five interlocking circles of various colors reminds us of the Olympics.
Ever wonder what is the visual symbol of a genuine Christian? Is it a church? a cross? a Bible? In this twenty-sixth message in a series of verse-by-verse expositions of Philippians, Pastor Mike expounds upon Philippians 3:3 to show us what God's answer to that question really is and the answer just might surprise you!

Brevard, N.C. - Stephen Mullis, Jackie Corn, and Kellen Moman all hit home runs and the Tornados led 13-5 after five innings but Carson Newman scored 10 unanswered runs to beat Brevard 15-13 in 10 innings Friday in the first game of a three game South Atlantic Conference Series at Gil Coan Field.
Mullis and Corn went deep on back-to-back at bats as part of a three run Tornado first inning. Brevard tacked on four more runs in the second, as Eric Renegar hit an RBI double to center, Kramer Clark hit a two-RBI single to right, and a Corn added an RBI single. BC chased Eagles starter Austin Bridegeater from the game after an inning and a third.
Brevard scored at least one run in their first five turns at bat, capped off by a three run fifth inning in which Clark and Corn added RBI singles. Clark was three for seven with three runs scored and three driven in. Corn went five for five with three RBI and scored twice. Mullis was three for six with two RBI and two runs scored. Renegar had four hits and scored twice.
Carson-Newman took momentum with a four run sixth inning. Mason Guymon got things started with a one out double to right center. After a Aaron Vargas walk Evan Patterson singled up the middle to drive in Guymon. Jeff Lockwood hit a sacrifice fly to score Vargas. Derek Long singled up the middle and Mills Rogers and Patterson scored after a fielding error.
BC starter Brennan Daniels worked four and two thirds innings, allowing five runs on six hits while striking out three.
Carson-Newman added single runs in the seventh and eighth innings.
Brevard led 13-11 with one out in the top of the ninth inning when Tyler Davis and Patterson hit consecutive singles. Rogers flied out to center to bring the Tornados within one out of their second conference win of the season when Lockwood hit a 2-1 Shane Galloway pitch to left center for a game tying two-RBI double.
Corn led off the Brevard ninth with a double to right center. Matthew Pruitt was hit by a pitch, and Ron Patterson moved both runners up with a sacrifice bunt. Moman was intentionally walked to load the bases with one out. Eagle reliever D.J. Ferguson struck out Ben Pacey and got M.A. Dozier to ground out to end the rally.
Lance Reed had the game winning hit with an RBI single to center to plate Wesley Dozier in the top of the tenth. Rogers added a sacrifice fly for an insurance run.
Ferguson set down Brevard in order in the tenth to win his fifth game of the season.
Lockwood was two for five with four RBI and a run scored. Long finished the day four for six with three RBI.
Galloway took the loss, making him two and two in 2010.
The Tornados 22 hits was the most for Brevard this year.
Brevard and Carson-Newman conclude their series with a double header Saturday. First pitch of Game one is scheduled for 12 p.m.

MLB - the only middle linebackers we have on the roster are two 7th round picks in Audie Cole and Michael Mauti. Now if Mauti can stay healthy, he might be a huge surprise and this need will disappear, but it's unlikely to happen. Currently it seems that the Vikings have decided to roll with Erin Henderson at mike, but I only see that ending poorly.
QB - again this need will be determined by the progress of Christian Ponder. If Ponder can continue where he left off against Houston and Green Bay, he should be much more improved, and the team will succeed. But if Ponder continues with his struggles, after three years it will be time to start looking elsewhere for a quarterback.
DT - the Vikings did a great job landing Sharrif Floyd in the 2013 draft, but Kevin Williams is 33 and will be a FA after the season. It would be very helpful for the Vikings to find another penetrating DT to replace Williams and pair with Floyd.
OG - I like Fusco on the right side, I think he's shown he has the ability and should continue to get better with more experience. But Charlie Johnson can easily be upgraded, and should be replaced on the left side.
DE - Jared Allen, Brian Robison, and Everson Griffen are all FA at the end of the season. Now I fully expect the team to retain Allen and Griffen, but Allen will be 31, and Robison's spot in the rotation will need to be filled.

2014 Colts-Obviously needs will change depending on how players perform this year.
3-4 OLB- Skeptical about Werner standing up, but even if he succeeds we need another starter soon.
CB- Could use a talented press man-to-man CB to pair with Vontae.
WR- DHB is pretty much an unknown commodity at this point, but even if he is great we still need another future outside WR.
FS- I think we let Bethea walk in favor of a younger guy.
3-4 DE- A guy who can rush the passer, we already have our young run-stuffing DE. Think Will Sutton/JJ Watt types.
OG- Always a need. Thomas and Thornton are certainly the best guard tandem we've had in a while, but upgrades are always welcome.
Kicker- AV may not even make the team this year. A replacement is coming soon.
C- not a first round need, but the coaching staff won't give Shipley a chance despite his great play and I'm not a fan of Holmes.
RB- I love a Ballard/Williams backfield, but RB could definitely be a pick (probably not a first rounder though)
ILB- Conner and Angerer are free agents. Just a late rounder for depth, not an early round need at all.
OT- Not an early round need at this point, but late round developmental/depth guys are good.
------Not needs at all-------
QB- Luck, Hasselbeck, and Harnish have everything we need. Not even a late round pick.
TE- 4 good young guys here.
NT- We're loaded here. No depth or starter needed.
SS- We need a cover guy next to Landry, not another run supporter.
P- Unless McAfee moves to kicker.

For the Lions in 2014-
1: TE- Our 2 starters are FA's, so we might need to address this
2a: RT- Currently we have a open competition here. If no one shows that they are a good starter we could add another player here
2b: WR- We could use another WR to stretch the field if Corey Fuller can't.
4: OC- Raiola is getting older, and Bill Nagy isn't a sure thing. We should add someone to compete with Nagy
5a: OLB- Same as RT, it's a open competition and we could stand to improve here.
5b: DE- If Ansah, Devin Taylor, and Jason Jones can't get the job done, we could add more pass rushers. This need isn't likely though.
7: Overall depth- Depth is always needed

SLB - Harrison is here for 2 years. His fit in a 4-3 D has yet to be proven, and even if he does fit he will need replacing soon.
CB - All of the proven CBs will be 29 or older. The young CBs have not shown anything because they have not been able to stay healthy.
WR2 - Jones and Sanu have shown flashes but neither has proven they can be a reliable #2 consistently yet. I think there is a good chance they will, but they need to show it. If they do, WR is not a need.
#1RB. BJGE is acceptable, but I think he can be upgraded next year if there are no more pressing needs.
2017 Draft Needs: Interior O-line, Pass Rushing DE, Linebacker, Kicker, Overall Team Speed.

Panthers Needs
OT - Jordan Gross is not getting any younger, it's time to find his replacement before Cam gets seriously hurt. Looking at a LT that can do a lot of things, pass block, be a mauler, and can get out in space to block.
WR - Steve Smith is not getting any younger, it's time to find his replacement. We could also use some strong WR depth; since we currently do not have much behind Smith.
CB - After cutting Chris Gamble, the Panthers do not have a true number 1 on the team. Need to find a number 1 lock down guy that we can build the secondary around.
S - Since the departure of Chris Harris we have not had a good tag team partner for Charles Godfrey. Godfrey can play either S position, so we are flexible as to which S position we address.

The Packers needs will be determined by who we bring back from FA this upcoming offseason:
TE: Jermichael Finley is a FA, we won the Super Bowl with little to no TE production, but I would still think TT will want a contributing player there, but if none are available early, he won't reach for one.
WR: Thought we would take some receivers early this year, but the board allowed us to patch up RB and OL depth at the expense of WR, so this years draft could be where we go that route. Guys 6'2 or under who run good routes and are not body catchers are what GB usually looks for.
S: Will all depend on Jerron McMillian this year, if he's a stud, this isn't a need.
DL: Got Worthy and Daniels last year, Jones and Boyd this year, but Raji, Pickett and Wilson will all be FA's soon, might look to pick up another guy here if someone else falls.

Jeff Cumberland is our starter. We need an upgrade badly.
Santonio Holmes is almost certainly going to be cut after the season. We already have Jeremy Kerley in place and hopefully Stephen Hill will show improvement this season.
We have just moved Quinton Coples to OLB, but there are still concerns at the other OLB position. Antwan Barnes is signed through the 2015 season, but he would be a better fit as a situational pass rusher.
This might be a need, or it might not be a need. We have Dawan Landry signed through the 2014 season. The stability of this position is dependent on the play of our two late round 2012 draft picks, Josh Bush and Antonio Allen.

Top Vikings Needs for 2014:
1) QB - No need is more urgent to fill then QB. Currently, the Vikings have Christian Ponder. This year is a make or break season for him. Positive development means he keeps his job. A regression means Ponder is probably out. The 2013 season will determine if this is a need or not.
2) MLB - Whether Erin Henderson, Brian Urlacher or Gerald Hodges is starting at MLB for MN, this position needs a long-term, three down starter. Ideally, MN would grab a MLB next year to start and let Hodges and Henderson compete at WLB.
3) DE - Jared Allen, Brian Robison and Everson Griffen are all free agents in 2014. I expect MN to be able to at least keep 2 of 3 as starters. Since the Vikes like to rotate its DEs a lot, finding a backup DE who can play a lot will be a draft day priority. If MN is able to keep all three free agents, DE moves to the middle rounds in terms of importance.
4) DT - Shariff Floyd should replace Kevin Williams at the 3 technique spot in 2014. Williams will probably be off the roster. The Vikes didnt really address the need at one technique DT, and probably should going forward.
5) OG - Brandon Fusco is in a make or break season at RG, a good season from him should solidify his spot. If he struggles, MN may need to replace Fusco. Charlie Johnson (LG) will also need to be replaced in 2014, as he is a free agent and an underwhelming starter, but ideal backup T/G.
6) WR - Greg Jennings is getting older and may be better suited to move into the slot in 2014. Patterson should be part of the future and he does have #1 potential, but MN should continue to add youth to this position. Jarius Wright looks like another slot option. Unless Jerome Simpson has a big season, which probably isnt likely, MN will consider WR options.
7) CB - Chris Cook, Xavier Rhodes and Josh Robinson look like a nice young trio full of potential. Cook has struggled to stay on the field and is a free agent in 2014. If MN can hang onto Cook, CB really isnt much of a need other then depth purposes. If Cook leaves, MN will need to find another CB and this need becomes more pressing. Assuming Cook is resigned, MN should be looking pretty good.
Safety - Big season ahead for Jamarca Sanford. Sanford has been a very physical run defender, but is underwhelming in coverage. Sanford does a good job at keeping things in front of him and does a good job being in position, but his ball skills are severely lagging. MN could be in the market for a Cover 2 FS.
9) TE - If Carlson has another disappointing season, he will be out of a job. Since the Vikes run a lot of multi TE sets, having three viable TEs is ideal. Rudolph and Ellison are a nice 1-2 punch, regardless of Carlson.
10) RB - Toby Gerhart is a free agent, MN could use quality RB depth.

Well, as of right now here's how I see it for the Chargers:
OLB - The biggest Achilles heel of this season's Chargers defense has been a lack of pass-rush, particularly from the edge, which has trailed out to all those other things which lack of pass-rush tends to expose/prevent like inability to generate turnovers. Dwight Freeney will be 33 and coming off of season ending surgery. Jarret Johnson is more run-defender than pass-rusher and may become a cap-casualty. Melvin Ingram has shown plenty of potential, but to this point that's all he is - and he's coming off an injury. Moreover, Ingram is a significantly better fit as a SOLB because of his ability to play the run and drop into coverage, so the team still has a great need on the weak side where we simply lack any kind of quality athleticism. One of the two most pressing needs on the team.
NT - Cam Thomas is in a contract year and a make-or-break season which has been far, far more break than make. The only guys behind him on the depth chart are rookie UDFA's Kwame Geathers and Byron Jerideau. The defense has regressed notably and Cam not only fails to get push but gets pushed back consistently, and his lack of playing such that he demands double-teams (as his predecessors Aubrayo Franklin, Antonio Garay, and Jamal Williams all did) has directly led to a regression in the production of his starting line-mates Corey Liuget and Kendall Reyes, both of who looked in 2012 poised to become a truly special duo. This is the only need greater than edge-rusher on the team, if only because of scarcity of the position.
Interior OL - I realize that many people look at the Chargers roster, see the name King Dunlap and think that there's no way the LOT can't be a need. And yes, if the concussion issues persist with him, that may well be the case. However, Coach Joe D'Alessandris' blocking scheme is less about having "studs" at the positions and far more about chemistry, teamwork, and having the athleticism and size to carry out the job. Look at D'Alessandris' past lines in Buffalo and Kansas City, very rarely did he require a premium pick be spent on the players to produce high-quality lines (most of the lines were constructed out of 2nd round and later prospects). The fact that DJ Fluker (someone who many felt as a prospect would have to kick inside to guard) has been able to be serviceable as the teams LOT in past weeks, illustrates this point. However, on the interior of the line Chad Rinehart is a UFA, Jeromey Clary is overpaid (will be 4th-highest salary on the team next season) for his below-average ability, and Nick Hardwick is in the twilight of his career. Johnnie Troutman has shown he can very likely fill one of those guard spots, but if Rinehart isn't re-signed, guard is a pressing need (lest the team be forced to keep Clary), and ideally, the team would likely like to have whatever successor to Hardwick is brought in deputize at guard for a season or two, as Coach D did with Eric Wood.
RB - Everything about how this front office handled the running back situation this offseason signals that they're going to give Mathews one final (first under this administration) chance to prove he can stay healthy and be a consistent contributor, but otherwise he's likely headed for the unemployment line. Doubt this will be viewed as a 1st round need, particularly given Whisenhunt and McCoy's recent tendencies towards RBBC. I doubt this is even a 2nd or 3rd round look, unless someone with 1st round grade falls to round 3 (a la Keenan Allen this year). But at the very least, someone will be brought in to take Ronnie Brown's duties and to push Mathews.
SS* - The asterisk is largely because this team doesn't need a traditional in-the-box safety, if the guy can't cover he's pretty worthless in our system. However, Brandon Taylor has been "healthy" and back in practice for quite some time now and has yet to push Marcus Gilchrist from the position. Gilchrist is, ideally, a better fit at nickel back. And in our system, if we can create viable pass-rush, quality safeties are of greater import than top-notch corners.
CB - Currently a lot of question marks. This is largely because it's been truly difficult to get a gauge on any of our corners because of lack of pass-rush and many of them being played largely against their strengths by our current scheme/coordinator. We've largely taken corners who are better fit for press-man and played them off-man with 8-yard cushions and then provided them minimal pass-rush. Under those conditions most corners would fail. Either way, with the way in which Derek Cox's contract was structured, he's going to get at least another year before he becomes a cap casualty. 2013 draft pick Steve Williams will be returning from the IR as a relative unknown but a 4th round investment all the same. A corner being drafted on the first two days wouldn't shock me in the slightest, but if we don't address the pass-rush or continue to set our secondary up to fail with scheme, no matter how good a corner prospect is, he's going to do us little good.
OT - This position is in somewhat the same state as WR was with the 2013 draft, not a glaring "need" despite what some may want to paint it as (due to us not having "a stud"), but if incredible value were to fall to say the 2nd or 3rd round (i.e. a player a full round or two higher in terms of value), I could see the front office spending the pick on the position. We like big, athletic dancing bears though - and typically guys who can play multiple positions (i.e. tackles that can play guard, guards that can play center, centers that can play guard).
WR - Not a huge need, but I can certainly see the team looking into a project guy who might offer something in terms of height, return ability, and gadget-play use. Vincent Brown has regressed this year. Malcom Floyd is getting long in the tooth and simply doesn't stay healthy for full seasons. The thing is, Rivers has shown he can work with just about anyone capable of running the correct route and catching the damn ball. The coaching staff has already intimated that we'll see lots more of Ladarius Green moving forward, so until such a time as Gates retires, there will likely be more two TE sets deployed or Green will be split out in the slot.
5-Tech - Yes, even with Liuget and Reyes on the roster. Fact remains that with the two drafted so closely together that if both pan out well, we'll likely only be able to retain one realistically under current salary cap structure. We've benefited from both managing to stay healthy this season as well, but our depth isn't all that fantastic at the position - Sean Lissemore shows promise, as does Lawrence Guy, but certainly not anything to the level yet that you pass on fallen value on Day 3 if it's there.
ILB* - If Donald Butler leaves in free agency (which isn't likely, but possible) this jumps up above everything but OLB, NT, and CB/S, unless the team plans to kick Ingram inside (not likely). Either way, the team could stand to upgrade in the later rounds in terms of depth as all our ILB's have battle injuries this year and last.

For Atlanta:
DE: Even after adding Goodman and Mopanga in the draft, we still need a serious impact, 3 down DE. I don't have much faith in Osi, and the rookies can't do it alone.
DT: Babs isn't getting any younger, Jerry is a FA bust, and Peters still has a bunch to prove. This could potentially be a huge need next year.
LB: Once again, Dent still has a ton to prove, and Nichols hasn't been impressive at all. Everyone saw in the playoffs how TEs got to this team. We need a Bobby Wagner/Lavonte David type player across from Spoon.
RT: We cut Clabo, leaving 3rd round pick Lamar Holmes to hold down the right side. If he fails, we'll be looking for a replacement.
TE: I highly doubt we draft a TE again, but no one was a huge fan of the Tolilo pick. Plus, we need a #2 for when Gonzo finally retires.
WR: This team has pretty much no receiver depth. Someone should be brought in to challenge Harry Douglas for the #3 spot, as well.

Ravens potential needs in 2014:
1) LT - this will be a need no matter what happens. McKinnie is a short term stop gap and Michael Oher is a FA
2) WR - an outside WR with size to play across from Torrey Smith will almost certainly be a need. The current starter is probably Tandon Doss, a 2011 4th round pick who has done nothing as yet and #3 WR Jacoby Jones is a FA.
3) CB - Won't be a need if Jimmy Smith steps up and plays to his potential, but if not a #2 CB capable in off-man coverage would be good.
4) TE - Dennis Pitta and Ed Dickson are both FAs. I expect that Pitta will be re-signed, but we'd need a more rounded TE to be the #2 TE on the depth chart if Dickson leaves.
5) FS - A true center fielder to challenge Michael Huff to line up along side Matt Elam
6) ILB - A thumper type ILB more than a coverage LB
Not a need at all:

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
If you have a premature baby, understand the challenges your preemie might face — and remember the importance of meeting your own special needs.
If your baby is born too early, the miracle of birth might be overshadowed by concern about your preemie's health and the possible long-term effects of prematurity. However, there's much you can do to take care of your premature baby — and yourself — as you look toward the future.
A premature or preterm baby is born before 37 complete weeks of pregnancy. Generally, the earlier a baby is born, the higher the risk of complications.
At first, your premature baby might have little body fat and need help maintaining body heat. He or she might cry only softly and have trouble breathing. Feeding your preemie might be a challenge. Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), low blood sugar, and lack of red blood cells to carry oxygen to your baby's tissues (anemia) are possible. More-serious concerns might include infection, episodes of stopped breathing (apnea) and bleeding into the brain. Some preemies have impaired hearing or vision.
Others experience developmental delays, learning disabilities, motor deficits, or behavioral, psychological or chronic health problems. Many, however, catch up and experience normal healthy development.
Your preemie's special needs call for special care, probably in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In some cases, a premature baby needs to be transported to a hospital that can provide specialized care. The medical team caring for your baby will do everything they can to help your baby thrive. Your role as a parent is essential, too.

Campobello, S.C. – The Brevard College men's golf team shot a school record one round combined team score of 286, two under par, on Tuesday to win the SMC Invitational by 15 strokes.
The win is the second tournament this fall that the Tornados have won, with the first coming back on September 14-15 at the Glenn Cannon Fall Invitational.
As a team the Tornados turned in the two lowest rounds of the tournament, as BC shot a low round of 296, +8, on Monday to place them in a first-place tie with Walters State JC after one day of play.
The Tornados responded with a school record combined team low round score of 286, -2, to pull away from the field and shoot a two day score of 582, +6 to give them the win at the SMC Invitational.
For the second straight tournament, junior Grant Carnie turned in a top-five performance to be named to the All-Tournament team. Carnie, who carded two rounds of 72, even par, finished the event in third-place overall with a two round combined score of 144, even par.
The other four members of the Brevard College "A" team all finished in a six-way tie for 10th-place overall. Senior Myles Johnston highlighted the group, as he turned in a second round tournament low score of 68, four under par, to finish the tournament with a score of 150, +6. Johnston's second round 68 was not only the low score of the tournament, but also set a new Brevard College record for the lowest round in tournament play.
Junior Thomas Bush carded rounds of 70 and 80 to finish with a 150, +6, while freshmen Joshua Davis and Bret McGaughey also carded two-round combined scores of 150, +6 to place in 10th-place overall.
The Brevard College "B" team played well, as the Tornados turned in rounds of 304 and 323 to finish with a tournament score of 627, +51, placing them in eighth-place overall.
Senior Craig Galloway finished in 16th-place overall, shooting rounds of 74 and 78 to finish with a 152, +8, for the event, placing him just outside of the top-10.
Freshman Thomas Rennie carded rounds of 77 and 79 to finish the two-day event with a combined score of 156, +12, good enough for 27th-place overall, while senior Chris White turned in a 158, +14, to place in a three-way tie for 32nd overall.
Rounding out the scoring for the Tornados was freshman Joshua Nelson, who carded a 161, +17, and sophomore Jesse Merritt, who shot a 191, +47 for the tournament.
The Brevard College Tornados will have a week off before they hit the links again on October 20-21 when they will compete in the LMU Fall Invitational hosted by Lincoln Memorial University in Tazewell, Tenn.

Five years ago, Utah was agog over David Archuleta's appearance in the finals of "American Idol." Nationally, the finale drew 31.6 million viewers, easily making it the most-watched show on TV.
"We would love to see numbers like that again," said Tim Ermish, vice president and general manager of Fox's Utah affiliate, KSTU-Channel 13. "Those days of unbelievably huge ratings are gone."
In 2008, the Tuesday "Idol" episodes were No. 1 overall, the Wednesday episodes were No. 2 and "Idol" looked unstoppable. As that season headed toward the finish line, more than half the homes in Utah that were watching TV were watching "American Idol."
In its 12th season, the singing competition has slowed a lot. Last week, "Idol's" share of the local audience was 13 percent.
"It's clearly not what it used to be," said Ermish.
"Idol" was already in decline by Season 7 in 2008, but it averaged 26.4 million viewers per episode. In 2012, the show averaged about 15.9 million viewers a decline of 40 percent.
This season is down 47 percent from top-rated Season 5, which averaged 30.2 million viewers. The most-watched episode of Season 12 to date was seen by fewer people than the least-watched episode of Season 7.
"We expected this," said Fox Entertainment president Kevin Reilly. "It's not unusual for a show to lose audience as it ages."
But no one at Fox expected the viewership to fall from almost 18 million for the Season 12 premiere to an average of 12.3 million for the first three weeks of April. No one at Fox expected the April 18 episode to lose to a "Big Bang Theory" rerun nationally and in the local Utah TV ratings.
There are ramifications from this decline that reach all the way to Salt Lake City. If "American Idol's" ratings were what they were in 2008, it's a virtual certainty that KSTU-Channel 13 would have ridden that lead-in past KSL-Channel 5 in the late-news ratings during the February sweeps.
Local ratings impact • Television executives will tell you that lead-ins do matter. If the network programming that precedes a newscast is popular, that helps.
If not, well, KSL has been pointing to NBC's weakness as a reason for its big declines at 10 p.m.
KSL beat KSTU by a mere one-tenth of a rating point in the February sweeps. If local "Idol" ratings were as strong in February 2013 as they were in February 2012 they declined 43 percent that could have lifted Fox 13 into second place.
"I guess if 'Idol' was what it used to be, that probably would have happened," Ermish said. "But in fairness to KSL, NBC didn't give them much of a lead-in in February."
(NBC finished in fifth place in those sweeps, behind CBS, Fox, ABC and Univision.)
"Do I wish 'Idol' was stronger? Sure I do," Ermish said. "But it's in its 12th season. It's still a top-five show. I think there's still a lot of life in it.
"And I think Fox has more realistic expectations for it."
More competition • Fox's Reilly attributed part of the ratings decline to "not being the only game in town now."
For years, "American Idol" faced little competition in its singing-competition genre. But today, it is being challenged even outdone not only by NBC's "The Voice," but by Fox's own "The X Factor."
With former "Idol" judge Simon Cowell aboard, the two shows are virtually indistinguishable to many viewers. And, while "X Factor" has helped Fox's ratings in the fall, its arrival coincided with "Idol" ratings' steep declines in the winter/spring.
"Yes, there are too many of these shows on the air, probably," said Mike Darnell, Fox's president of alternative programming. "And they're all taking each other down a little bit."
Although, clearly, "Idol" is down more than "a little bit."
The judges • Fox's "Idol" strategy has clearly changed over the past 12 years. When the show premiered in the summer of 2002, the judges were two complete unknowns (Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson) and a has-been singer/dancer (Paula Abdul) and the show reached the height of its popularity.
Since then, we've seen big names (Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, Ellen DeGeneres) in the judges' chairs and steep declines in ratings.
This season, Fox opened its wallet and is reportedly paying Mariah Carey $18 million, Nicki Minaj $12 million and Keith Urban $6 million. Returning judge Jackson is also reportedly making about $6 million.
Carey and Minaj created a storm of controversy with their ongoing feud.
And the show has fallen to its lowest ratings since Season 1, when viewership built from fewer than 10 million to almost 23 million for the finale which is 4 million more than the most-watched episode this season.
"It shouldn't be about any of us," Carey said. "It should be about the contestants."
But it isn't. If it were about the contestants, Fox wouldn't hire big-name, high-priced judges.
If it weren't about the judges, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe would not have told reporters just last week that a lack of "good chemistry with the judges" has hurt the show this season.
We know "Idol" will return in 2014. The question is which high-priced judges will be on the panel and how much lower the ratings will go.
On TV
"American Idol" airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7 p.m. on Fox/Channel 13.

Zama, Farahad. The Marriage Bureau for Rich People
Retiree Mr. Ali is at loose ends, knocking about the house aimlessly and annoying his wife. She is happy, then, when he decides to start up a marriage bureau to assist families looking to set up arranged marriages for their children. Contemporary India has modernized in many ways, but it is still considered inappropriate for people to make their own matches, or love marriages, and after a slow start, Mr. Ali's Marriage Bureau for Rich People begins to do a lively business—so much so that he takes on an assistant, young Aruna. Aruna herself has marriage woes; her family is suffering financially and her father refuses to entertain any matches because he will not be able to pay for a large wedding and a good dowry. Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Ali are fighting to keep their son, a young man now and a political activist, safe—but he defies their wishes and leads demonstrations against the government on behalf of India's poor farmers.
Often mentioned as a readalike for Alexander McCall Smith's Number 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, the comparison is a fair one. The Marriage Bureau for Rich People shares the interconnected-vignette style, charmingly wise and understated tone, and emphasis on culture and community seen in McCall Smith's series. Though the characters have their problems, nothing very terrible happens to anyone, and the reader is swept quietly along as the characters go about their daily lives in modern India.


text: Former Georgia linebacker Alec Ogletree, a likely first-round pick in the 2013 draft and one of the top prospects at inside linebacker, was arrested recently for DUI. "Last weekend, my client Alec Ogletree was pulled over for speeding and a lane violation in Arizona," agent Pat Dye, Jr. tells PFT. "After the officers smelled alcohol, they conducted tests and also cited him for DUI. Although Alec regrets this incident terribly, he is thankful that there was no accident and that no one was hurt. Because this matter is still pending, we cannot comment further publicly at this time." It's not the first red flag on Ogletree's record. During the 2012 college football season, Ogletree was suspended four games by the Bulldogs after a positive drug test. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/16/alec-ogletree-charged-with-dui/

What a difference a few million years makes.
What was once sediment, animal skeletons, shells and solidified plant matter is now coveted countertop material.
Granite. Marble. Quartz. Limestone.
It's sounds more fifth-grade science class than house beautiful.
Just like in grade school, you have to do your homework. Better to know the facts before putting these to the test in your kitchen or bathroom.
For example: Calcutta marble. It's pretty, but not practical for kitchen tops.
"It's porous, and it will scratch," said Becca Schreiber of Everett's Quality Counter.
Not to worry, though. You can still get the Calcutta look in your kitchen. There are clones made of acrylics, engineered stone and other materials able to withstand the daily grind.
Family dynamics determine the right tops for your household. If there's a tendency to leave fizzing cans of orange pop, knives with grape jelly and (gasp) hot pans on the counter, try a nonwhite quartz.
There are tons of color and pattern options for tops. Each material has its own pros and cons.
"The leaders are granite and quartz," Schreiber said.
Prices vary, but often these two are comparable in price.
Granite is quarried from the earth. Granite tops can turn cookie-cutter kitchens into a dramatic showplace.
"It's amazing what mother nature can pop out," Schreiber said.
Some maintenance is require. If left unsealed, granite can absorb stains and cause dark spots and discoloration.
Quartz is engineered stone.
It is about 95 percent crushed natural stone. The rest is a filler, typically a synthetic resin to bid the stone.
"They lay it out on a sheet and get it to the thickness and let it dry and harden," Schreiber said.
Like fruitcake.
Solid surface acrylics and polyester blends are synthetic.
"A lot of medical offices use the nonporous acrylics. It's sanitary," Schreiber said.
Other countertop options include wood, concrete and laminate.
And if you can't decide. No problem. Choose two. It's trendy to use a different material on islands than the main countertops. It differentiates and accents the spaces.
But wait. You're not done. You still have to choose an edge. Square, rounded, bullnose, bevel, egg, ogee … oh, my.
• Pros: Nonporous. Sanitary. Scratches can be sanded or buffed out. Seamless.
• Cons: Not heat resistant.
• Cost: $39 to $72 square foot
• Pros: Low maintenance. Durable. Patterns more consistent than granite.
• Cons: Can cost as much as granite.
• COST: $58 to $84 square foot
• Pros: Bold movement and colors. Wide price range. No two slabs exactly alike.
• Cons: Must be sealed. Seams.
• Cost: $60 to $100 square foot
• Pros: Natural beauty. Elegant. Unique patterns and designs.
• Cons: Porous. Stains. Scratches.
• Cost: $60 to $80 square foot

Tony Romo doesn't need a contract extension.
I was glad to see that the team had cut off talks with Romo until the end of the year, let's see what happens this year. Not the biggest problem, but not the biggest solution either.
As for DeMarco Murray, I see no one still says he's injury prone. It just sucks he's going to be healthy probably for the whole season and still not get 1000 yards. Unbelievable
Romo cut off talks with the Cowboys....
And if Romo playing huge all game making big plays in spite of his crappy offensive line is a problem, then I don't know what isn't. You guys sound like irrational cowboy fans tonight.
And Romo also gave the ball RIGHT back to the Bears after our Defense made a HUGE play to get us the ball back with the game still in our sights. And Romo reverted to old Romo by being careless with the ball. We HAD to capitalize on that opportunity and, in normal Cowboys fashion, we didn't.
You can't have the good without occasionally the bad. If you don't want that fumble every now and then, then don't expect Romo to make the dazzling huge plays he makes that no one else can or does. Then your offense will look like the Browns.
I don't mind the fumbles. I mind the fumbles when your team is in an extremely bad spot against a great defense and your down 14 and need a score to keep the game in check. Not to mention, you got a little momentum from your defense coming up big and giving you AMAZING field position.
How are you going to score with that offensive line? Sitting back and taking sacks?
come on......alot of guys are getting it done with poor offensive lines.....tony did it last year....he just hasn't played smart this year.....great qbs don't give away games like this year after year......and tony has
Tell me, who gets it done with poor offensive lines? Only Romo.
Really?? You must have missed at the beginning of the game where they mentioned no QB has been hit more since 2009 than Jay Cutler. Big Ben sure does look like crap too, huh.

Tony Romo doesn't need a contract extension. I have been one of the biggest Romo supporters on this planet since he became our starting QB. I'm not saying he should be benched this year or next. He will, and should, remain our starting QB as he gives us the best chance of winning a football game. But, after 2013, I feel as though we should thank Tony for his services in a Cowboys uniform and let him walk.
Jason Garrett is a good head coach, I really believe that. He is not a good offensive coordinator however. We must go out and get a true offensive coordinator who can run a balanced offense.
We need offensive lineman to help this running game. Demarco Murray has no where to run. NO WHERE. If we do not draft 2 OL in the first 4 rounds of the draft next year, I will lead the JG/JJ must go chants.
This season is not a wash yet. We are still 2-2. Just like 2 of the other 3 teams in our division. This team could still theoretically pull it together. But all the talk in the offseason about this team being different (that I bought in to) has turned out to be a bunch of bologna. This is the same ol' .500 football team that makes the most mind-numbing mistakes at the most mind-numbing times.
For now, lets go Rangers and Wreck Em Texas Tech Red Raiders.
What does this game have to do with Tony Romo? If anything, this game showed that you'd want to give Romo a contract extension. If those first three picks don't happen (that weren't his fault), he'd never be in position to throw the last two and they would have likely won the game... so how could you blame Romo? Makes me think you didn't even watch the game. He was playing huge the entire time the game was competitive.
While I agree with your support for Romo, I have to ask, how was the 3rd INT not on Romo? Didn't the ball leave his hands in a fumble like fashion, directly into the bread basket of Briggs who ran it the other way for the TD?? I dunno how you ask someone if they watched the game, when you say that wasn't Romo's fault
He had to avoid a free rusher by stepping up. He had two hands on the ball... What should he have done instead? Taken a sack? Hell no, he's a playmaker and you let him make a play. The defender got his hand on the ball and it was a good strip. The bad play was the bad blocking, the rest was just a strip.
Uhhhh, you protect the ball and absolutely take a sack.....it would've left them with 2nd down and about 14, still in field goal range.....that was at least a 10 point swing, maybe even 14....absolutely Romo's fault on that one, your logic doesnt make a lot of sense
So you're saying it was normal that Bernadeau lets a guy have a free rush on the quarterback?
Dude are you serious right now?? Quarterbacks get sacked all the time, but when they see pressure, it is their JOB to be smart, hold on to the ball, and take the sack......had he been blind sided, about to make a throw, gotten hit then fumbled, thats a little bit different.....but on this play, he saw pressure and was being hit, and instead of protecting the ball and preserving at least a field goal (which would've made it 17-10 or maybe even 17-14) he make some boneheaded play and it goes the other way making it 24-7, nail in coffin
Most quarterbacks actually don't get sacked all the time. You're just used to seeing Romo sacked all the time. If you want to win games and put up points behind this offensive line, Romo is going to have to make the plays he does... which includes stepping up. One time out of 100 times he steps up he gets stripped and you now want him to take sacks?
FYI....he fumbled twice last week, almost costing us the Tampa game.....just a reminder......
From blind side hits?
At least 1 of them was just like the one tonight, not blind side, just not taking care of the ball......Like I said, he takes a sack there and holds on to the ball, we have 2nd down and like 14, still in field goal range, so its a good bet we make it a 1 posession game......instead he does what you say is the "Right" thing to do, and in 10 seconds it was a 3 posession game.....how on earth do you justify your argument as being correct??....look, the first 2 picks weren't his fault, i'm the first person to say that, but the 3rd was 100% on him
So tell me, you want him to take the sack. Do you want him to take the sack every time in this situation? 99/100 he makes a huge play. How should he know when to try or not to try. Be real. He's a playmaker making a play because he has to make up for his team. 99/100 it's a big play. This time it wasn't. You can't just say to the one time something bad happens that he shouldn't do it. Get real.
99/100 is an extremely exaggerated stat.....So I think you need to 'get real'......I think Tony is a very good QB, and I've always supported him, but his 3rd INT was his fault, and it cost us dearly, bottom line.....I will say this, if he had taken the sack and held on to the ball, we probably aren't having this conversation right now.....I can't guarantee it, but had we put points on the board there, the final outcome would've been completely different
You can say that for every interception... what if he didn't throw it to Dez.... what if he didn't throw it to Ogletree. The fact is, on that play, the probability is in his favor to make a play there. 99/100 he makes a play in that situation. That time it didn't happen. I'll take the one fumble for the 99 times he makes a play... If you want him to sit down on that play, then you want him to sit down every time he has an opportunity to step up. You can't have it both ways. Thats like saying you want Aaron Rodgers on every completion he makes, but you want Alex Smith on every interception Aaron rodgers would make.

Greetings -
It has been pointed out that some of the messages in the past week

So, thought you'd go home for Thanksgiving and miss a men's basketball game, eh? Well, then you missed out on a solid two hours of gawking at the First Family as they walked in, sat in the student section, made goofy faces, and ate popcorn. They managed to only make it onto the Jumbotron twice, entering and leaving, and requested no fanfare music. Alas, where ever the intrepid family goes, a group of reporters and curios fanboys are sure to follow, so behind the cut we've brought you exclusive photos from Colonial Brass alum Amanda Notarangelo. The First Family (including First Mother-in-Law) was there, of course, because Michelle Obama's brother, Craig Robinson, is the Oregon State Basketball coach. Their team apparently got a tour of the White House. And they won the game, 64-57.

Xavier partners with Enterprise to bring the car-sharing rental program "WeCar" to campus
The transportation alternative allows students, faculty and staff to lease a car by the hour | August 17, 2012
Xavier is partnering with Enterprise Rent-A-Car to offer car-sharing through its WeCar by Enterprise program. Xavier is the first university in the Cincinnati area to bring WeCar to campus, while the University of Cincinnati began offering its Zipcar program last year.
Available to students, faculty and staff, WeCar by Enterprise is a membership-based, automated car rental option that offers a sustainable, efficient and cost-effective transportation alternative to the Xavier community.
Registered members have access to two Kia Souls parked on campus. A kickoff for the program is scheduled during Club Day on the Yard on Aug. 27 from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
Jon Beres, assistant director of Auxiliary Services, hailed the program for reducing the need for cars on campus and for helping Xavier improve its efforts to be sustainable.
"This is great for students who can't access a car under normal car-rental rules, where you are required to be at least 21," said student ambassador Alex Riahi.
Those at Xavier who are age 18 and older are eligible for membership in WeCar, which offers round-the-clock access to hourly, daily and overnight rentals. WeCar offers members the benefits of a personal car while paying for the vehicle only when it is being used. Such programs are popular with students because they provide a solution to car-rental age restrictions and are less expensive than bringing a car to campus.
Xavier students, faculty and staff with a credit card and valid driver's license can sign up for the program at www.wecar.com/xavier. Members can reserve a vehicle online, then access it using a membership card and return it to the same location. Fuel, basic physical damage to the vehicle and state-required liability protection are included in the standard rate plan.
"WeCar provides Xavier members with a low-cost, convenient transportation solution right on campus," said Ryan Johnson, assistant vice president of WeCar and Rideshare for Enterprise. "Our car-sharing program is a sustainable, totally automated and efficient mobility option that helps alleviate parking and transportation challenges at universities across the United States."
WeCar is supported by the extensive Enterprise Rent-A-Car neighborhood network. Local Enterprise operations maintain cars and have the flexibility to add WeCar vehicles to meet demand. Enterprise operates more than 40 rental locations in the Greater Cincinnati region.
Enterprise hires graduates from Xavier each year and has nearly 20 Xavier alumni currently working throughout the company, including eight in or near Cincinnati. Enterprise established a brand ambassador internship program at Xavier to market the service on campus.
WeCar by Enterprise operates car-sharing programs on more than 50 college campuses throughout the U.S. and Canada, as well as corporate, government, military and downtown programs across the country.

Iconic characters like Marlowe, Spenser, and James Bond make up the patchwork of our modern day folklore.
Someone else mimed how Marlowe, portrayed as a right-hand finger, was stabbed, after a struggle, by his left-hand opponent.
This innocuous seeming statement masks a colossal misunderstanding of Chandler and Marlowe, neither of whom had "a good friend."
Because Marlowe is always the narrator, Chandler never has to tell us what he looks like.
And the best of luck to Mr. Banville and my old friend Marlowe.
Mr. Marlowe had nothing to do with Manderson's business as a financier, knew nothing of it.
Marlowe climbs the peaks in the sun, his bow never off his shoulders.
Marlowe's glance brooded down on the mass of papers piled in the tray of his IN box.
He doubted if ud Klavan could accept the hypothesis that Marlowe did not know he was a spy.
"Marlowe, my people are strangling," the old Dovenilid said.

Everyone is excited for this one, and rightly so.
Cyrille Diabate told YourMMA.tv that he's expecting to finish Jimi Manuwa at UFC On Fuel 7, although he does think 'The Posterboy' will go far:
Who you picking?"I think he can go far. He seems tough and powerful. I think his ground is his weak point though. I feel I have better standup and I also have knockout power.
"I see myself knocking him out or submitting him. I will combat his creativity, power and speed with being more creative, powerful and fast."

Report: Justin Bieber's crew gets in Hamptons fight, charges filed
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Where Justin Bieber and his entourage go, drama follows (whether or not it actually involves the "Beauty and a Beat" singer).
The latest hit?
Bieber's security team was reportedly the cause of a major fracas outside of one of Southampton's trendiest clubs on Saturday night.
According to multiple outlets, including the New York Daily News, the New York Post, TMZ, and E! Online, Bieber arrived at South Pointe nightclub with his crew at after 2 a.m. The Daily News reportsthat his security detail was both "intimidating' and "overbearing" to patrons.
One thing all of the outlets corroborated in their reports: At one point a blond woman tried to talk to Bieber, and then a male friend of hers got into some sort of antagonistic exchange with the 19-year-old pop singer.
According to the Daily News what happened next was, "He [Bieber] ripped his shirt off and went nuts. He was screaming." He then reportedly left the hot spot with his crew, and some sort of fight took place outside of the club. "One witness reported seeing blood."
E! Online reports "authorities were not called to the scene but a police spokesperson tells us the unidentified male victim went to the Peconic Bay Medical Center at noon on Sunday and later filed a complaint alleging assault."
TMZ claims that "the alleged victim was knocked out on the cement," and "according to cops, Justin's people apparently went after the guy, although we're told the alleged victim was aggressive as well." They add that Bieber is not a target of the investigation, only his crew is.

Dreamers Do
June 5th, 2012
"You may say I'm a dreamer…but I'm not the only one." John Lennon
As I sit down to write about this year's summer reading theme, all the words that come to mind are song lyrics : beautiful dreamer…daydream believer….dream on…sweet dream baby…dream weaver…dre-e-e-e-eam, dream, dream, dream….merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.
The stuff of our dreams is held precious and dear, yet when someone calls you a dreamer, it seems to be meant as an insult. What they are really saying is that you are just a good-for-nothin' lazybones who can't seem to get anything done or handle the harsh realities of life.
But, it seems to me that the dreamers of this world are the ones who get it. Remember that smiling island lady in the musical, South Pacific, singing in Happy Talk, "You've got to have a dream; if you don't have a dream, how you gonna make a dream come true?" The great creative minds that enrich our world with music, art, ideas, discoveries, inventions and scientific revelations know. It starts with a dream. From the dark void, from inside the egg, or the seed, or the silent lump of marble come amazing displays of beauty and truth.
So, this summer, go ahead and Dream Big…Read! Cecil County Public Library's summer reading programs and events draw upon daydreams and night visions as inspiration this year. Looking for things to do in Cecil County? Our Summer Calendar of Events features gatherings, storytimes, and crafts that shed light on nocturnal animals, dream symbolism, the night sky, mysteries, and so on. All branches kick off the summer lineup this week with super celebrations.
Sign up for summer reading at Cecil County Public Library and dream about the new bike, or $100 Visa Gift Card, or Orioles Baseball tickets or other prizes you can win just for reading. No matter what your age, you can participate. New this year is a Read to Me component for little ones. Dream Big, Read is for the school age set, and teens can Own the Night. Big Dreams aren't just for kids, either. Adults can slip Between the Covers to do their reading.
The fun begins now and will end on August 4. For registration and more information, contact your local branch or click here.
What are you dreaming up this summer?

The lecture and the symposium are free and open to the public.
Moderated by Dr. Elise Blackwell, novelist and director of the MFA Program in English at USC, the panel will take a broad look at the significance of ancient stories in various cultures. Panelists and their topics are:
• Dr. Federica Clementi, assistant professor of Jewish studies, English and comparative literature at USC, "Holocaust and Myth: How Tales Help us Speak;"
• Dr. Michael Hill, assistant professor of Chinese and comparative literature at USC, "Ancient Tales and Modern Chinese Thought;"
• Dr. Paul Allen Miller, Carolina Distinguished Professor of Classics, "Stories in Plato and Cicero;"
• Dr. Gordon Newby, professor Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies at Emory, "Tafsî Isra îliyât and Midrash: A Shared Tradition in Islam and Judaism;" and
• Rabbi Burton Visotzky, Appleman Professor of Midrash and Interreligious Studies, "The Turn from History to Literature and the End of Wissenschaft des Judentums."
Visotzky directs the Louis Finkelstein Institute for Religious and Social Studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary, where he has taught since his ordination as rabbi in 1977. He has been a visiting professor at top universities in the United States as well as in England, Russia and Rome, and he has written 10 books and more than 100 articles. He is involved in Jewish-Christian-Muslim dialogue in the United States and abroad.
The Solomon-Tenenbaum Lectureship in Jewish Studies is funded by Judith and the late Melvin Solomon of Charleston and Samuel and Inez Tenenbaum of Columbia. Speakers have included Elie Wiesel, Thomas Cahill, Deborah Lipstadt and Thomas Friedman. It is one of the premiere lectureships sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences, the Jewish Studies Program and the university.

Mathematica Prove[...] Command Possible?
I have always been curious if Mathematica has ever considered a Prove command?
The reason one could ask such is question is simple, who would have ever thought that CASs would get to where they are in such a relatively short period of time.
Certainly, this is a tall order, but the richness we already see in Mathematica leads one to believe that this can be a new area for CAS development.
Some easy examples could be Prove[ Sqrt[2], Irrational], Prove[ Exp[x], Transcendental], Prove[Sum[i, {i, 1, n}]== n(n+1)/2]...
Certainly, there would be many limitations with proofs in some branches of Mathematics. I suppose getting to meatier proofs is problematic in itself, but maybe a certain rigor in defining the problem can be mapped out that follows how we set problems up today (as there is a pretty consistent way to specifying problems that most mathematicians adhere to).
Anyway, why has this not been attempted (as a comparison, I have seen like DC Proof)? In the end, maybe it is just not a goal for a CAS.
Thanks for your time.

The loss drops the Tornados to 4-2 overall and 0-1 in the SAC thus far this season. With the win the Pioneers improve to 5-2 and 1-0 in the SAC.
The Pioneers scored the first basket of the game on a lay-up by Josh Bennett to take an early 2-0 lead, a lead that the home team would hold on to for the rest of the contest as the Tornados were plagued by foul trouble and an early injury to guard Nathan Whitmire.
The Tornados got to as close as three points of the Pioneers on three separate occasions after the 16 minute mark, but would not get any closer than 32-29 with 17 seconds remaining in the first half, as Tusculum took a 33-29 lead into the halftime break.
Despite out-shooting the Pioneers in the first half, as BC connected on 10 of 24 of their shots for 41.7 percent compared to the Pioneers 8-of-24 for 33.3 percent, the difference in the first 20 minutes of play was at the free throw line.
Out of the halftime break the Tornados got an early three-pointer by senior Joseph Chilton to cut the
The two teams traded baskets over the next two minutes giving the Pioneers a 37-33 lead.
The turning point of the game came at the 15:40 mark as the Tornados had a fast-break lay-up basket, which would have cut the
After the call, the Pioneers outscored the Tornados 23-6 over the next ten minutes of play to pull out to their largest lead of the game at 21 points at 60-39.
In the final five minutes of play, the Tornados showed their heart and did not give up, battling until the final horn sounded, ultimately falling 65-48.
For the game Brevard out-rebounded the Pioneers 36-31, the sixth straight game in which the Tornados have out-rebounded their opponents for the full 40 minutes of play.
The Tornados were led by junior Jonathan Whitson, as he had a team-high 15 points, 13 of which came in the first half, and hauled in 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the year. Center Sam Carlisle and point guard Cody Siniard had eight points a piece, while Chilton pulled down 10 rebounds in 19 minutes of action.
Tusculum junior guard Kyle Moore poured in a game-high 29 points, as the SAC scoring leader was 8-of-8 from the charity stripe in the game. Fellow backcourt running mate Ryan Troutman had nine points, while his young brother and forward Rob Troutman had seven points, all coming from the free throw line.
The Tornados will have the next 23 days off from competition, as Coach Jones' squad will not play again until December 29 in the first round of the Marietta College Tournament in

A summary of trading in key commodities markets overseas overnight:
Oil prices declined Thursday amid doubts that an 11th-hour deal on the "fiscal cliff" crisis could be reached by a rapidly approaching end-of-year deadline.
New York's main contract, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for February delivery, slipped 11 cents to settle at $90.87 a barrel.
Brent North Sea crude for February delivery dipped 33 cents to $110.74 a barrel in London trade.
With the clock ticking, the White House and Republican lawmakers have yet to reach a deal to keep the United States from falling off the so-called fiscal cliff, a combination of steep tax hikes and drastic spending cuts set to kick in next month.
President Barack Obama cut short his family Christmas break in Hawaii to return to Washington in a last-ditch attempt at reaching a compromise.
Crude oil prices were "being taken down on what appears to be the growing eventuality that the US is going to go over the fiscal cliff," said analyst John Kilduff of Again Capital.
"There was "no doubt that the tax hikes and the spending cuts that will roll automatically will be a real drag on the economy for the us," he added.
Experts warn that going over the "fiscal cliff" could take the United States back into recession. And that could hurt oil demand in the world's biggest consumer of crude.
Gold prices edged higher after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that it appeared that the government would miss the deadline for avoiding the "fiscal cliff." That's boosting demand for the metal as a safe haven.
Gold for February delivery rose $3 to $1,663.70 an ounce, a gain of 0.2 per cent. Gold started the day lower before Reid's comments. Demand for gold was also bolstered by a report showing consumer confidence fell to its lowest level since August.
Silver, copper and palladium also advanced in other metals trading.
Silver for March delivery rose 20.60 cents to $30.24 an ounce, a gain of 0.7 per cent. March copper gained 0.35 cents, or 0.1 per cent, to $3.6010 a pound.
