Read more ChiefsRookie tight end Travis Kelce appears to be settling into a groove, as he and backup QB Chase Daniel connected for the best offensive play of the day. Daniel lofted a pass along the left sideline that Kelce somehow hauled in over three defenders. The quarterbacks spent much of the day working the middle of the field. Alex Smith found tight end Tony Moeaki wide open. Rookie running back Knile Davis has struggled to hold on to the ball in camp, but showed improvement in this area Sunday. He also showed promise as a runner, exploding through the line on a run to the left and speeding up the sideline untouched. Receiver Jonathan Baldwin dropped a wide-open pass early in the practice but came on strong as the day went on, catching a TD pass over the middle.
The defense
The defense spent a healthy portion of practice working on its blitz schemes, and at times it worked, as the pass rush forced the quarterbacks to either miss the intended receiver or take a sack. Linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston led the charge. Hali had a sack early in 11-on-11, while rookie first-round pick Eric Fisher had his hands full with Houston all morning. Though Houston jumped off-sides once during 11-on-11, he twice sped past Fisher during pass protection drills a teammate even came over and smacked Fisher on the tail to encourage him before he finally stopped Houston by negating a bull rush. The defensive play of the day came from cornerback Vince Agnew, who made a leaping, one-handed interception on a downfield pass by Ricky Stanzi.
Injury report
G Jeff Allen (shoulder), DL Marcus Dixon (hamstring), CB Buddy Jackson (hamstring) and DB Sanders Commings (collarbone), fullback Braden Wilson (hamstring) were out. CB Dunta Robinson left the field midway through practice with a hamstring issue.
Todays schedule
Practice starts at 8:15 a.m. and is free and open to the public. Parking is $5.
The number
1 Free-agent Vince Agnew showed some serious skills with his one-handed interception, but Agnew was hardly a ballhawk in college, where he tallied just one interception in four years at Central Michigan.

Charlie Sheen is kicking his ex-wife and kids out of the home he bought for them, according to RadarOnline.
I don't want to get all controversial or anything but maybe ... just maybe ... Charlie Sheen is not the most stable human being.
The website reported Sheen has asked Denise Richards and her daughters to move, because he sold the house to a friend.
The home, which Sheen supposedly bought for Richards, his daughters Sam, 10, and Lola, 8, and Richards' adopted daughter Eloise, 2, has six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and 9,000 square feet of living space.
Sheen's lawyers "have been working with Denise in vacating the premises," a source told Radar. "Charlie has wanted Denise out of the gated community where he also lives for months, and his porn star fiancee, Brett Rossi has been pushing for it, too."
Well, if that's what she wants, then how can anyone argue?
Sources have told the site the move will be a big inconvenience for Richards, because the kids go to school nearby.
"Sam and Lola's school is currently less than a five-minute drive from the house they are living in now," the source said.
The "Anger Management" star has been quarreling with Richards for months. He has accused the former Bond girl of not allowing him to see his children during the holidays last year. He also has hinted on social media that he will no longer give Richards the $55,000 a month in child support he currently pays.
Suddenly, I wish I was Charlie Sheen illegitimate son.
Then again ...
A source told Radar, "Charlie is allowing Denise to stay in the house until the girls finish school in several weeks ... but as soon as they are done with school Charlie wants her out. It's really sad because it just didn't have to come to this."

Gargling with Tar
Jáchym Topol. Translated by David Short
Gargling with Tar is Topol's British debut; already an acclaimed Czech writer, this is his fourth novel and the first to be translated into English. The former Czechoslovakia's tumultuous history is not a topic often covered by fiction writers and it's refreshing to find a novel that deals with the subject. Gargling with Tar explores the Soviet invasion of the former Czechoslovakia from the perspective of an orphan, Ilya, and offers an insight into the political turmoil of the country in the late 20th century.
The novel is both playful and tragic and David Short's translation from Czech manages to retain a sense of the unfamiliar. The voice of the narrator, Ilya, is immediate and blunt and, whilst the events of the novel lead him to ever-greater moral compromises, an innocent quality persists in his commentary and there is a simplicity to the writing that is endearing. Gargling with Tar is a fascinating and intense combination of the personal and the political, charting the motivation and development of both Ilya and the country.

Gov. Jack Markell recently made a visit to Appoquinimink High School to learn the ins and outs of Midddletown Robotics Team 1370 "Thermogenesis." The club is made up of students from M.O.T. and its surrounding areas, who all have an interest in science, technology and engineering.
You can find them tinkering away in the vocational wing of Appoquinimink High School. They all have similar interests in science, technology and the inner-workings of everyday ojbects. They are Team 1370 "Thermogenesis," Middletown's premier robotics team.
Students on the team, all from the M.O.T./Bear area, work together each year to create an award-winning robot that competes in FIRST robotics competitions, striving to battle other teams in the region and the nation.
According to the Middletown team's web site, FIRST Robotics Competitions are "the varsity sport for the mind, combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology."
The idea behind robotics is to challenge students to work together, problem solve and test themselves mentally, said the team's lead mentor Paul Knight.
"The big benefit is that they learn to work as a team," Knight said. "To have to shoot a Frisbee out of a robot may seem like a monumental task at first, but they learn to take a problem and break it down into smaller pieces in order to come up with a solution."
Gov. Jack Markell made a visit to Appoquinimink High School on Friday to learn just what it is the robotics team is up to and how the program plays into Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education.
Students on the team, led by senior Dave Gardner, provided the governor with an inside look at the program and the group's most recent robot.
"We develop our own business plan," Gardner told Markell. "It's student-run, we organize all our data and create a materials list. Aside from the engineering aspect, it also brings in business, finance, imaging and graphic design. It pulls in a lot of various skill sets."
This year, the team's robot will compete in "Ultimate Ascent," which will involve teams (alliances) of three robots that will compete to score as many discs in their goals as they can during a two-minute-15-second match. Students will have to steer their robot, which will shoot Frisbee discs into the air and into their goals.
During the first week of January, students receive the rules of the game, the parameters and ultimately their overall mission. The team is given six weeks to design, build and bag their robot in order for it to be ready for competition, Knight said.
As if the task of building and programming a robot from scratch isn't challenging enough, teams must also raise funds to compete, design a brand and develop a strategy for the game in which their robot will play.
With the help of mentors, all of which have an engineering background or a passion for technology, the students compete against other teams in the region, with the hope of winning banners and college scholarships.
"What this must take in terms of what you guys must learn, it's very impressive," Markell told the group of about 25 students on Friday.
He encouraged the students to apply what they learn in the program to everyday life and make connections between what they're learning and how it can have an impact on the business market.
Mentor Bill Lydick, a mechanical engineer, said the group has seen its students succeed after high school, which says a lot about the program and its impact.
"All of our seniors have gone to college and pursued technical degrees," Lydick said. "One of our students became an intern with NASA and was involved on the Curiosity project."
The team will participate in its first competition of the year March 15, Knight said.
"This team has what it takes to be successful and they've worked hard to build this robot," he said.

LONGMONT -- Two 18-year-old men video-recorded themselves before and after a confrontation on July 2 that left another teen lying in the street alone and unresponsive in a pool of blood, according to court documents.
Police arrested Joshua Stegmeier, 18, of Longmont and his friend Gabriel Baxter, 18, of West Chester, Penn., on Thursday. Stegmeier was arrested on suspicion of felony first-degree criminal trespassing, accessory to vehicular assault, accessory to leaving the scene of an accident involving serious bodily injury and misdemeanor harassment.
Baxter was arrested in Pennsylvania on suspicion of vehicular assault and leaving the scene of an accident involving serious bodily injury, both felonies.
Stegmeier is due in court on Aug. 8 for an advisement hearing. Baxter does not have a court date set.
According to court documents, the teens went to 18-year-old Luke Collier's home on July 2, knowing he was angry at them, to coax him into chasing them and to record the incident. Video clips recovered from Stegmeier's camera chronicled the plan and aftermath, according to reports.
Police said a passerby found Collier lying on Spruce Avenue near Judson Street, suffering from a serious head injury. Investigators did not initially know if he had been struck by a car, or if he fell out of or off of a vehicle, according to court reports.
Collier does not recall anything, Longmont Police Sgt. Mike Bell said. According to the warrant, Stegmeier and Collier had been friends for about three years, but Collier did not know Baxter.
Witnesses told police they saw a red Toyota Prius in the area before Collier was discovered.
Investigators located a Prius matching the description parked at a home on the 1600 block of Goshawk Drive. There, officers found Stegmeier at home with his parents and Baxter, who was reportedly visiting from out of state.
The teens said they wanted to speak with an attorney before talking with investigators, but they acknowledged being involved in the accident and that the Prius was the correct car.
Investigators reviewed the video, which chronicled parts of Stegmeier's text message argument with Collier and plans for Stegmeier and Baxter to confront Collier. In one clip, according to the warrant, the camera shows Stegmeier's phone with a text message he says is from Collier. It reads, "You think that is funny? Calling me up and making fun of me with all your stupid giggly friends? Or are you bored and alone? Get a f---ing life."
In another clip, Stegmeier and Baxter record themselves walking in front of Collier's home and into his backyard, where they settle down to discuss an "ambush."
Eventually, the video clips show the two returning to the front of the home to see Collier arrive and get out of his car, then fleeing toward the back of the home as apparently planned, court records show.
In subsequent clips, the pair discuss how Collier chased them and Baxter tried to flee in the Prius, but Collier jumped on it. Baxter said in the video that he drove away with Collier on the car and reached a speed of up to 40 mph before Collier fell off. He said in the video that he believed Collier would stab him with a key or key the car, according to the warrant.
"I am pretty sure he is hurt, but I don't give a f---," the warrant quotes Baxter as saying in the video.
"Who does that? Who jumps on a car?" Stegmeier replied, offering later that Baxter must have been frightened when Collier jumped on the car.
They talked about editing the video to exclude their visit to his home and wondered if Collier had broken an arm and would call police, according to the warrant affidavit.
A Boulder judge signed warrants for their arrest on Thursday and police in Longmont and Pennsylvania arrested the teens.
Stegmeier and Collier remained friends on Facebook as of Monday and Stegmeier interacted with Collier a few days after he was injured.

ROCKFORD - Rockford School District leaders are considering a unique trade with the city that allows them to get rid of an old building they no longer use and get road salt, trees, a sidewalk, an alley and part of a street in return.
The district no longer needs the old Administration Building at 201 S. Madison St., and is spending about $3,000 a month to maintain it. The city, however, wants to put a 115-spot parking lot there for the $21 million indoor sports facility it plans to build next to the old administration building.
Members of the Rockford School Board Operations Committee voted for the deal Tuesday night. The intergovernmental agreement between the city and the School District goes to the board for a final vote Tuesday.
"The idea is to trade equal value for equal value," City Administrator Jim Ryan said. "Ultimately, the citizens will be the beneficiaries of it."
According to the agreement, the district would demolish the old Administration Building, which used to be Rockford High School, by August. The estimated cost to tear down the building and perform any necessary environmental clean up is $725,000.
In turn, the city would give the district goods and services in the same amount minus $180,000, estimated five-year maintenance expenses at the building.
The goods and services the city promises in the agreement run the gamut from $147,500 in road salt, $150,000 in trees, $165,000 for a sidewalk at Froberg Elementary, $30,000 to vacate part of a street and an alley near East High School to help make room for a new fieldhouse and another $75,000 to demolish six houses for the East expansion.
Committee member Doug Brooks abstained from the vote because he is a Rockford Park District Commissioner. The district has pledged money toward the project - part of the Reclaiming First initiative - as have the city and Loves Park.

DOVER — Two days before the general election, former President Bill Clinton summoned enthusiasm for President Barack Obama's campaign at the Elks Lodge in Dover.
He said Obama is the candidate with the plan to help America's economy grow.
"New Hampshire, your legendary commonsense needs to kick in here — in overdrive," said Clinton, while using the bed of a pickup truck as his stage on Sunday afternoon.
He recalled visiting Dover during his own primary campaign in 1992; it was at the Elks Lodge that he delivered his famous speech in which he promised voters to be there for them "until the last dog dies."
Clinton's most Sunday stop came after he and Obama spoke before a crowd of approximately 14,000 people in Concord that morning.
In Dover, He said Obama succeeded in changing the direction of the country, by getting rid of "trickle-down economics," and focusing on problem solving.
Clinton said Obama's response to the devastating Hurricane Sandy showed the "philosophy that 'we are all in this together' works a whole lot better than 'you are on your own.'"
"I like Barack Obama, he is just more decisive and he makes better decisions," said Clinton.
The 42nd president also brought up the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, signed by Obama in 2009, saying the act not only helps women, but also men who are married to women and want a better income for their families. Clinton noted Romney has not disclosed whether he would have signed the act himself, had he been president.
"How hard is it to say yes or no? It's been on the books for two years," said Clinton. "It's hard for him, because it might make somebody mad."
Clinton highlighted Obama's plan to cut the debt by $4 trillion over the next decade, and said the president has already given tax cuts to small businesses, and cut taxes for middle-class families.
"I know we will come closer to getting rid of this debt if we elect President Obama," said Clinton.
He argued Romney's plan doesn't fully explain how he would pay for the tax cuts and additional military spending that would add trillions to the deficit.
"He wants to make the hole deeper," said Clinton.

Clinton praised Obama's accomplishment of saving one million jobs with the bailout of the auto industry. He refuted Romney's campaign ad claiming the president agreed to ship jobs to China, after Chrysler was bought by an Italian company. Chrysler has denied the claim.
"We need to continue to have the government and the private sector work together," said Clinton. "It's what's working all over America, it's what's working all over the world. The most prosperous countries, and the most prosperous communities in America are not those that operate according to the Tea Party philosophy."
Clinton said with Obama as president, America is more likely to have a future in which young people can afford to go to college, those with no college education being able to get job training, America having millions of more jobs, and workers earning higher wages.
To help the economy grow, Obama's plans to invest in education opportunities and infrastructure, such as alternative energy and wider broadband. Romney, said Clinton, "wants to cut the living daylights out of investments and education."
He addressed Romney's statements saying he will create 12 million jobs in the next term if he is elected president, despite Moody's predicting 12 million jobs regardless of who is president.
Clinton, who encouraged voters to support Democratic candidates on the ballot this election, was introduced Sunday by gubernatorial candidate Maggie Hassan and U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
"When Bill Clinton was president we had the most robust economy in our lifetime," said Hassan, who called Clinton a "friend to New Hampshire."
Dover resident Curt Haskell, 33, while standing outside the Elks Lodge holding his 8-month-old daughter, said, "I love hearing President Clinton speak. He is, in my opinion, the greatest American president."

But with the game on the line in the fourth quarter, the two seniors stepped up to save the game.
Johnson, who got beat on a long play in the third quarter, returned an interception 39 yards and Ryan Bustin made a 28-yard field goal as time expired to give Texas Tech a 34-31 comeback victory over Minnesota in the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
Doege found Eric Ward on a short pass, and he outran a defender for a 35-yard scoring play to pull the Red Raiders even at 31 with just more than a minute remaining.
Michael Carter intercepted two of Doege's passes in the fourth quarter before the tying score, but Minnesota couldn't convert either of the turnovers into points.
The Red Raiders (8-5) got their third straight bowl win to wrap up a month that began with coach Tommy Tuberville's abrupt departure for the job at Cincinnati. Texas Tech has hired Kliff Kingsbury to replace him, but interim coach Chris Thomsen led the team against Minnesota (6-7). Kingsbury was at the game, watching from a suite.
"More than anything I credit those players," Thomsen said of Johnson and Doege. "They really held it together ... to get to make those plays after they struggled. They kept their poise and confidence and continued to stay in there and battle."
Johnson said it was fitting that they dealt with so much adversity on Friday night considering the tough month they've had.
"As a team we just continued to fight and have faith and work together," Johnson said. "This is a huge win for us as a group."
Doege threw for 271 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score in front of a crowd that included 1977 Heisman Trophy winner Earl Campbell and former Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes.
"That drive where we went and tied the game, we finally started clicking," Doege said. "It happened at the right time - probably should have happened sooner."
Freshman Philip Nelson threw for 138 yards and two scores for the Gophers, who were in a bowl game for the first time since 2009.
"I think our kids played hard tonight; they played their guts out, and I appreciate that," Minnesota coach Jerry Kill said. "We just couldn't make a play at a critical time."
The Red Raiders returned to a bowl after having their 18-season bowl streak snapped last year.
A 1-yard touchdown pass from Nelson to Drew Goodger gave Minnesota a 31-24 lead early in the fourth quarter.
Texas Tech led 24-17 at halftime, but couldn't do anything offensively in the second half until the last couple of minutes. It was an ugly game for the Red Raiders, who had 13 penalties for 135 yards and lost tight end Jace Amaro when he was ejected for throwing a punch.
"There was really no excuse for it," Thomsen said of the penalties. "We didn't play very smart."
Jakeem Grant ran for what was initially ruled a Tech touchdown late in the third quarter. Amaro threw a punch at Derrick Wells in the end zone on the play and was ejected.
After the penalty, the play was reviewed and overturned. Doege threw an incomplete pass before Tech made a 32-yard field goal. But the Red Raiders had a false start penalty on the play and had to kick again and this time the Gophers blocked it.
Nelson threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Devin Crawford-Tufts, who was left uncovered in the end zone, to tie it at 24 early in the third quarter.
Donnell Kirkwood scored on a 3-yard run to leave Minnesota up 17-14 early in the second.
Texas Tech had a first-and-goal at the Minnesota 2 after a pass-interference call on the Gophers. But Texas Tech had to settle for a field goal after a rush for a 3-yard loss and two penalties.
Minnesota's next drive started out well before turning ugly. The Gophers had made two first downs before MarQueis Gray was sacked for a loss of 7 yards. Kirkwood ran for 17 yards on the next play, but Minnesota received two 15-yard penalties on the play, one for a personal foul on lineman Zac Epping, to make it second-and-42. Epping received a second personal foul penalty on the next play to bring up third-and-49.
Christian Eldred shanked the punt, giving Texas Tech the ball at the Minnesota 42.
The Red Raiders capitalized on their great field position when Doege spun away from a defender in the backfield and leaped over another Gophers player near the goal line on a 4-yard touchdown run. Tech converted a fourth-and-6 play on that drive, and led by seven at halftime.
Minnesota's Rodrick Williams Jr. scored on a 2-yard run to give the Gophers a 10-7 lead in the first quarter.
Doege lost his helmet on a 5-yard scramble on Tech's next drive and had to go out for one play. He was replaced by Michael Brewer, who found Derreck Edwards for a 13-yard touchdown pass to give the Red Raiders a 14-10 lead.
Minnesota's Troy Stoudermire returned the opening kickoff 26 yards to break the NCAA record for career kickoff return yards. He finished the game with 111 to push his total to 3,615.
The Gophers ended that drive with a 41-yard field goal to make it 3-0.
Grant returned the ensuing kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown to put Texas Tech up 7-3.

Lopez leads Nets over Rondo-less Celtics
A sprained ankle for Rajon Rondo means that Jason Terry might just salvage something out of his five-game week after all. Terry and Leandro Barbosa started as the Celtics backcourt and played well. Barbosa had 17 points, two assists, two steals and a 3-pointer, while Terry had 10 points, four rebounds, six assists, a steal and two 3-pointers in a loss to the Nets. Courtney Lee also played well off the bench with 13 points, nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and a 3-pointer, while Jeff Green fell back to earth with just five points and six boards on 2-of-6 shooting. As for Rondo, he remains day-to-day making him questionable for Saturday's game against the Raptors, and if he misses that one, he might also miss Sunday at Detroit. The Celtics play just three times next week, meaning that a healthy Rondo, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett are the only must-starts in Boston. I have already started dropping Brandon Bass where I own him.
The Nets got another whopper out of Brook Lopez with 24 points, six rebounds and four blocks on 11-of-14 shooting. I'm no longer even making fun of his rebounding because he's averaging a career-high 2.3 blocks after swatting just 1.5 of them in his last full season. I actually drafted Lopez as a potential buy-low guy this year, and the teams he's on are doing well. Joe Johnson and Deron Williams (who tweaked his leg last night) are both suddenly playing better, Kris Humphries had another double-double and Gerald Wallace missed another game. The man named Crash has now missed seven straight games with a sprained ankle and has scored a total of 10 points this season. He has to be close to getting back, but it's anyone's guess whether he'll play against the Kings on Sunday. Something tells me that the two extra full days off should have him ready for that one, and it will be interesting to see what kind of impact Wallace has on guys like Lopez and Johnson.
Knicks stay perfect with win over Spurs
Don't look now, but the Knicks are undefeated at 6-0 after taking down the 7-2 Spurs. Raymond Felton is living up to the Rotoworld hype after losing weight and getting out of Portland. He had 25 points and seven dimes, Jason Kidd traveled back in time for 14 points, four 3-pointers, two steals and three blocks, Tyson Chandler double-doubled and J.R. Smith had 17 points off the bench and a full stat line (as usual). Carmelo Anthony was the most disappointing player for the Knicks last night, hitting just 3-of-12 shots for nine points, but did have 12 rebounds in the win. Melo is going to have a lot of big games this season, and his value may not be lower than it is right now if you want to target him in trade. Ronnie Brewer played through his knee injury but has cooled off after a hot start. I cut him and moved on in my deep leagues and you should too. As for Kidd, if he's available in your league he's worth picking up as long as he's getting solid minutes for the Knicks.
The Spurs, for some reason, decided to keep everyone guessing and started DeJuan Blair at center tonight, and he bumbled his way to two points and zero rebounds in eight minutes. I don't try to understand Gregg Popovich. Tony Parker and Tim Duncan had their normal big games, Manu Ginobili made it through 26 minutes and scored 12 points, while Kawhi Leonard finally had a mini-breakout with 16 points, nine boards, two steals and three 3-pointers. Owners who were thinking about moving on from Leonard will probably rethink the move after tonight's game, but I think the one thing we can expect from anyone on this team not named Tim or Tony is inconsistency. Despite coming off the bench, Tiago Splitter had 13 points, but no rebounds in 17 minutes, and Stephen Jackson double-doubled with 10 points, 11 boards and two 3-pointers off the bench, but again, I'd be scared to actually put them in one of my lineups. Splitter's last three games: 13 & 0, 9 & 9, 6 & 2. Enough said.

First Heat Win In Denver Since 2002
Yes, the mighty Heat won for the first time in Denver since January of 2002 behind LeBron James' 27 points, seven rebounds, 12 assists, a steal and three blocks on 11-of-23 shooting. If you're lucky enough to own LeBron, chances are you're winning your league. Bron hurt his shoulder last night, but played through it and I'm not concerned. The big news is that Dwyane Wade was out with his foot injury, which he aggravated in Wednesday's disastrous performance and we basically saw this DNP coming from a mile away. Wade's current problems include the foot, a jammed thumb and the surgically-repaired knee he's playing on. The Heat are off until Saturday at Phoenix and Wade looks like a game-time decision for that one. Mike Miller started in his place and had 12 points, five rebounds and four 3-pointers in 24 minutes. He might be worth a deep-league add if you're desperate for 3-pointers, but I think I'd rather own Atlanta's Kyle Korver in that instance.
Chris Bosh has cooled off and had 14 points and just three rebounds, which is disappointing since big men tend to do very well against Denver. Expect him to break out of his funk soon. Shane Battier appears to be the big winner in Wade's absence and had 18 points and six 3-pointers to go along with a steal and two blocks. Maybe he's worth a look for as long as Wade is out, but he's not really trustworthy either. Mario Chalmers left this one with a strained right triceps and didn't return, allowing Norris Cole to take over. He had just seven points and three assists in 39 minutes, but should be a guy worth a look in some leagues if Chalmers is going to miss time.
The Nuggets got 16 points, 20 rebounds, two steals and a block from Kenneth Faried and I'm hopeful that no one reading this is on a list of people who dropped him after he got off to a very slow start. Ty Lawson disappeared, missing all seven of his shots and failing to score, while handing out eight assists. He's not exactly killing it this season, but my guess is he'll get it going soon. He's a good guy to target in a buy-low situation. Danilo Gallinari still hasn't hit 50 percent of his shots in a single game, and is another guy I'd make some buy-low offers on. Based on the Season Pass Live Chat I held on Wednesday, a lot of JaVale McGee owners are thinking about dropping him, but he had 18 points, six rebounds and four more blocks off the bench on 9-of-12 shooting. He's averaging 11 points, six rebounds and two blocks, and I'd recommend grabbing him in any leagues where he was dropped. Kosta Koufos is struggling and it looks like George Karl is finally ready to roll with McGee at center, so dumping Koufos makes sense if you've got him. With Lawson's off night Andre Miller came through with his best game of the season with 19 points, five boards, seven assists and two 3-pointers. His assists have been solid all year, but the rest of his game has been pretty inconsistent. He's averaging 10 points and 5.4 assists on the season, making him worth a look if those numbers are better than another guard on your roster is posting.
News and Notes
Washington's A.J. Price was available to return Wednesday despite a sprained ankle and should be held in all leagues, especially with recent news that John Wall still has no timetable and might not be back until Christmas. The Wiz signed PG Shaun Livingston on Thursday and he could split minutes with Price, but I'd rather own Price at this point.
The Wolves have signed Josh Howard and he's expected to see limited minutes on Friday. I'm not expecting any miracles, but he's at least worth keeping a close eye on going forward. Center Nikola Pekovic is hoping to play tonight against the Magic, but coach Rick Adelman doesn't sounds as confident. He's a game-time decision with a sprained ankle. J.J. Barea (foot) is iffy for Friday and would likely split time with Luke Ridnour at PG once he's healthy. Ridnour is hot and looks like a must-start until further notice.
Brandan Wright didn't even get off the Dallas bench on Wednesday and I'd recommend dropping him for Chris Kaman or Elton Brand if you can. Shawn Marion (MCL sprain) may try to play on Friday at Indy, but it's not a sure thing.
Kyle Lowry is expected to miss another one or two weeks with his ankle injury, but at least there doesn't appear to be any structural damage. However, me freaking out on Twitter while watching him go down appears to have been quite warranted. Terrence Ross and Linas Kleiza (who has a sore ankle) are both going to see a big boost in minutes with news that Landry Fields (elbow surgery) and Alan Anderson (foot) are going to miss several weeks with their injuries. I picked up Kleiza on a flier, while Andrea Bargnani, who should see some time at small forward, should also see more shots. And it goes without saying that a red-hot Jose Calderon should be owned in all leagues right now.
Rodney Stuckey will start for the Pistons on Friday after missing a game with the flu, meaning Kyle Singler isn't likely to repeat Wednesday's 16-point performance. However, Singler has played well and may be able to stay relevant, especially if Lawrence Frank keeps playing him despite the fact Corey Maggette is finally healthy again. I don't think Singler's worth holding in most leagues as long as those other guys are healthy.
Kobe Bryant (foot) and Jordan Hill (wrist) are expected to play in Mike D'Antoni's debut tonight against the Spurs, Steve Blake (abdomen) is iffy/doubtful and Steve Nash (leg) has already been ruled out.
LaMarcus Aldridge (wrist) made it through an entire practice and it sounds like his sore wrist won't cost him any games for now. I'm still mildly concerned about it, but you have to keep starting him if you own him (obviously).
A lot of fantasy leagues may be decided on Friday night with nine big games on the schedule, so be sure to check out the new Saturday Dose with a bottle of Gatorade while you recover from Friday's festivities.

Why desi actors never get it right…!
The day I spotted a Page 3 picture of a minor TV star ( are there any other kind?) wearing an Ed Hardy tee and baseball cap, I knew it was all over . For Ed Hardy. Edgy International brands have never had it so bad. First , the recession. And then, Desi Men wearing Korean knockoffs. Poor Ed. All was going well for the brand till that point. At least when it came to true blue fashionistas like Yash Birla, who joined the Ed Hardy club years ago, when it was a relatively unknown label, popular in L.A. but nor really worn outside a small, charmed circle of ravers who liked the graphics and colours of the brand. This is a story that repeats itself each time say, a Sohail Khan, shows up wearing something hot off the fashion alleys of New York. The brand gets instantly devalued.It happened with True Religion, and J Brand jeans. And it happened over time with Gucci, Armani and the worst hit victim – Versace!! These brands have still to recover. Every second mechanic tinkering under your neighbour's Porsche, wears Versace ( pronounced sweetly as WERE – SASE). Even the building watchmen who thoko smart salaams when in mufti, prefer Versace over other fakes…. Though, heaven help Ed, but I can see them switching loyalties rapidly.
So…. Why can't Desi guys with means, be sensible and stick to desi gear? Why can't they dress like Rahul Gandhi, for Chrissake??
Because they lack confidence.
Because they can't be themselves.
Because they want desperately to be someone else …. Someone 'cool'.
And nobody has told them that the coolest way to look is desi.
Not necessarily designer desi – just basic Fab India desi.
Our men look their sexiest in dhotis. Don't believe me? Check out Shah Rukh Khan in a black dhoti, floating down the backwaters in Kerala with Preity Zinta. He has never looked better – before or since. And you can keep your six pack image of the star clad in shredded jeans and a wet shirt from 'OMO'. Similarly, Akshay Kumar in the opening sequence of 'Sinngh is Kinng' (forgotten how many extra 'g's' or 'n's' there are in the title), looked just amazing in a long, pink khadi kurta worn over sloppy, non-designer jeans. This was inspired imaging, at once desi and super cool. His attackable chest is visible through the open, unbuttoned kurta (let's not go further South – we know how much trouble that caused the guy!) made him look rugged and sexy, but not available and gigolo-ish. Most of our stars don't get that distinction. You can look dishy, without providing the cutlery gratis.
Bollywood has gone brand-insane. The label consciousness and dependency has robbed actors of any individuality – they dress alike, look alike and talk alike. I miss the old rogues – those completely OTT guys who went out of their way to stand out… not conform, like today's chaps. Remember Raaj ("Jaani') Kumar, with his collection of carrot-coloured toupees and crazy velvet smoking jackets worn over breeches?? Or Pran, perennially clad in a maroon dressing gown? Dev Anand wearing impossibly high collared shirts ( maybe five of them, one over the other) under even higher collared jackets, topping the look with a cap at a rakish tilt over a well-constructed wig. Not forgetting the Isadora Duncan scarf, the broad belt and ankle length slacks ( shades of Michael Jackson). The late Feroz Khan, now being hailed as a style icon (how generous we are to the dead!), who invariably dressed like he was auditioning for a Spaghetti Western – a Clint Eastwood gone wrong. Come on, you guys… who wears a Stetson outside Texas? Feroz!! The Desi Cowboy rode into town from Bangalore and perpetually behaved like he was fighting Injuns in his backyard. Perhaps, he was!
Elvis had his blue suede shoes and our Jeetendra his shiney white ones. He loved his whites and still does. Along with Govinda and Mithun Chakraborthy, Jeetendra can get away with sartorial hara-kiri. These fellows are originals – bizarre, outlandish, scarey. But we still love them. Purple pants, yellow shirts, pink ties, green socks. Bring it on, brothers. Don't ever get into the Dolce set. You don't need to. Your fans love you just the way you are – disastrous but adorable. Leave the labels to the younger insecure set. Or be like John Abraham, who is happiest in nothing more fussy than snug swimming trunks. John The Butt has his fundamentals in place. He is the chilled out chappalwalla, who is so sure of himself he doesn't feel the need to bother with dress codes.And being John, nobody reminds him. Salman has given a bad name to too many brands, so let's leave him out of this. He is Salman. Cute and red hot. He is shirtless at the best of times, and so he should remain. It is only when he gets into designer clothes u wearthat one wants to scream, "Stylist!"
The bachchas on the block are B-O-R-I-N-G . I mean, Imran Khan does not have to wear rasta checks with Hanes undershirts at all times, surely?? Or that silly string tie? But he does! Shahid wears the same expression and outfit (can he not think beyond white shirts and jeans), but at least he looks like a regular insaan. Baby Bachchan is perpetually struggling with his weight, and often dresses like a maitre d' – perhaps he thinks his height takes care of the details. No, honey, it really doesn't. You cannot wear those strange dj's with velvet lapels and hope to get away with it. That leaves Hritik Roshan. I'd say out of the lot, he shows some individuality, even if he does miss a fashion cue or two occasionally. He clearly loves his biceps as much as he loves Barbara. His shirt sleeves are rolled up tapori-style, no matter where and what.Royal purple sems to be his favourite colour ( a hangover from 'Jodha Akbar'?). But it goes with his personality and I am sure Barbara loves it on him. Saif Ali Khan is frequently referred to as a Nawab who knows his style. I'd agree. Forget those bandanas for a moment ( even men have their bad hair days), but this Khan gets it right down to the last button.
My suggestion to all these wonderful men is simple – style is not about who or what you wear. It is about who you are when the lights are switched off. Once you figure that one out, everything else automatically falls into place. Jai Ho!
This appeared in the Asian Age over the weekend. As you can tell, I had fun writing it.
More fun than analysing the bloody budget ( the market's tanked).
Officially, the budget is supposed to be 'sensible and pro-growth'. But frankly, it is a huge letdown and most disappointing. Pranab Babu - between you and Mamatadi, we are screwed!

Does it say "asshole" in the title of this post?
I realize that I don't swear on this blog (maybe I have on occasion and I just don't remember at the moment). And that probably most of the bloggers I read use "fuckshitwadmotherfuckingbitchslutcocktits", or other words with similar effect, with regularity and great humor.
I don't.
I swear a lot. In e-mail, in comments on other blogs (where appropriate), out loud, in front of my daughter. I was at the ballpark on Sunday and I yelled out "What a chickenshit!" then noticed the dad with his two kids sitting immediately in front of me. "I mean poopyhead. Sorry dude."
I don't think I make a conscious choice to not swear. It just doesn't occur to me to do so in print.
Well, today, fuck that noise.
I'm pissed at myself, because I caught myself being an asshole today and then kept right on being an asshole anyway. Asshole asshole asshole.
Erin and her grandma (from that Mohawk reservation near Massena New York, kids. I was the dumbass running in jeans through Washington Square Park) and I were at Le Boulanger in Menlo Park today (because we roll the suburban eateries like that). Emily joined us about halfway through, and just after I had noticed one of Erin's baby friends from way back in her Day One days was in the restaurant with us.
This kid was older than Erin, and had "graduated" out of the formal playgroup a few months before Erin and I stopped going. His mother and I were friendly, mostly because he was pretty cute and hung out over on my side of the parachute floormat most of the time. She always seemed a little sad, and tired, though. And through the group conversations she eventually revealed that she and her husband were separating, and divorcing.
Her son was months old.
Fuck that.
Ok, so I don't know anything about it. But she was kind of a friend, and she always seemed so sad, and tired, and it all made sense once I knew that her husband wasn't in the picture on a daily basis. Want to know what the opposite of a stay-at-home-dad is? That douchebag.
Again, I don't know anything about it. But I can't help it. I'm still a little pissed off that I let myself become an asshole for a second because of this loser.
The kid was at the restaurant with his father, and I kind of recognized him, so I must have met him at a party or something. I was happy to see the kid, and I said "Hey pal", and I turned to the douchebag, er, dad, and said "Hi, Erin and your son used to go to Day One together." And then he said:
"Oh, I know. I remembered you."
Fuck you douchebag.
Because that "you" was loaded with all kinds of "the dad who hangs out with the moms", "the dad I'm suspicious of", "the dad who thinks he's better than me" shit.
Sure, most of that is in my head. But he's the one who said, and emphasized "you". And it wasn't a "I didn't recognize your daughter, but I recognized you" kind of emphasis. And it wasn't a "Even though you seem to have recognized my son but don't remember me I remember you" kind of emphasis. It contained secret thoughts that he couldn't keep off of his face. Just for a second.
It bothered the hell out of me, that "you". Because I do my best to be sincere and above-board. I'm the male in a female group (groups, really), and I have to be aware of the explanation and accounting that must be given when I meet the husbands. "This is Shawn. He's the dad. Feel threatened or inferior by his dedication to his daughter and his support of his wife's career, husband. Also, he's shockingly handsome and I hang out with him All. The. Time." I try to stay cool, and I absolutely resent any implication that I'm anything but honest and respectful.
His son started making the sign for "milk". He and Erin had been in a signing playgroup when she was 6 months old and he was 9 or 10 months old. "Ah, still keeping up the signing, are you?" I asked, completely without agenda. I swear.
"Yeah. He uses his eight signs."
Eight wasn't a boast, so it had to have been the truth.
So what did I do, at the table next to the douchebag who was out with his son for lunch and who had made the mistake of an emphasis?
I spent 5 minutes cycling through all of the signs Erin could recognize or perform. I didn't say "Hey, douchebag, watch what my kid can do!" It only occurred to me after the first minute or so that I was even doing it. I realized right away why I was doing it: even though I knew nothing of their marriage, I assumed he was a jerk because my acquaintanceship was with his wife, who always looked sad and tired. And I wanted to show him up a little bit, for that "you".
But come on. That's an asshole move. Continuing to do so after recognizing what I was doing was an even bigger asshole move. Because it was using his thoughts about his kid against him: "Wow, she really knows a lot of signs and she's a lot younger and maybe I haven't been doing enough with my son to teach him and maybe my son just isn't as smart."
I feel badly about that. I should have just called him a fucktard to his face and left it at that.

Union City Commissioner for Public Affairs Lucio Hernandez unveiled the latest set of paintings to be put on display in the city's art gallery last Friday evening. The gallery, located in City Hall's entrance hall, usually highlights the work of local artists on a monthly rotation, but the most recent show highlights the work of a set of painters from Brazil who belong to an artist's collective in New York City.
"The Gallery at City Hall is dedicated to giving local artists a free space to showcase their art as well as to continue the mission of encouraging more art in Union City," said Fernandez in a press release.
The city issued certificates of commendation to the six artists featured in the show: Gustavo Braga, Alcinda Saphira, Irene Nunes, Rene Nascimento, Marcos Amaro and Antonio Oliveira.
"There are many great Brazilian artists, but they're not as famous outside of Brazil as they should be." - Rene Nascimento
"There are many great Brazilian artists, but they're not as famous outside of Brazil as they should be," he said. "This is a great way for us to spread our art."
While two of his three paintings featured in the show depicted Manhattan scenes, Nascimento's favorite was a tribute to Brazilian art and to his heroes and their ideals.
"In the painting there is an inscription in Portuguese that's a quote from an artist who says, 'Freedom, my desire, has no name yet.' It's a tribute to artistic freedom," he said.
But the similarities between the artists all but stopped at their shared nationality, as the artwork shone was diverse in style as well as in medium.
Diverse works
Saphira, who typically foregoes the use of brushes in her work, draws inspiration from the art of the pre-Colombian Marajoara tribe, which lived in the Amazon rainforest and used primarily black, white, and red colors in their art and pottery. Instead of brushes, she moves her canvasses in a way that paint spreads naturally across it.
"My art takes shape through movement," she said.
Her pieces juxtaposed nicely with those of Amaro, who primarily paints geometrically-inspired works.
"Many of my paintings deal in symmetry," he said. Gesturing towards one piece in particular, he said, "I like to cut a mural in two parts, and paint each part as an opposite of the other."
The pieces presented by Oliveira were far different from Nascimento's still lifes, Amaro's geometrics, and Saphira's abstracts. His artwork deals primarily with floral patterns, but ones that take on a much deeper meaning than simply horticulture.
"I do these abstract figuratives that are inspired by nature, but they're meant to go beyond that and depict the energies inside our own bodies," he said.
"I tend to think of the energy within our bodies as the same energy within the earth," he said, "so my paintings are meant to evoke human emotion through nature."
The gallery will be set up in City Hall until Feb. 18, and all are welcome to visit.

I thought of calling this FAQAD, for Frequently Asked Questions About Donations, but I thought someone might think I was discussing the Arabian music journals someone just donated. I also thought of calling it "What Don't You Want from Me?"
See, an awfully lot of people feel their books are not worthy of the Newberry Library, and expect me to laugh out loud when they suggest giving these to me. I don't think I have laughed at a prospective donor more than ten times in 25 years. It's not my style. I prefer to make snide remarks about you behind your back. It's hard to keep up this level of manners and civility, but I will accept your gratitude at some later date.
Anyway, I still get people who ask:
Do you take books in foreign languages? Yes. Not only do I take them, I sell them. We seem to have a nearly inexhaustible market for (basically in this order) Italian, Latin, French, German, Spanish, and Greek texts. We also sell very well in the areas of Hebrew, Polish, and Russian. We get and sell a lot of books in Thai and Hungarian and Japanese, too. The languages not mentioned in any of those lists have their market as well. Chicago is a multi-ethnic city. Take a long ride on, oh, the 36 bus some time.
Do you take cookbooks? Yes. I don't really understand why these are considered less booky than other books, but some people regard them as beneath our dignity. If selling books is not beneath our dignity, neither is selling books about food. (By the way, we also get a lot of cookbooks in German, Italian, Thai, etc. etc. We like those, too.)
Do you really take paperbacks? Yes. Because basically, they are, um, books. I would rather sell fifty paperbacks at a buck apiece than one hardcover art book for $40. We have customers who would rather buy that way, too.
Do you take last year's bestsellers? Yes. There are people who haven't read those yet. (Come on, have a little self-confidence: you're not the last person to get around to The Governor.)
Do you take children's books? Yes. They're making new children every year, and those kids will need books. Pass 'em on!
Do you take books packed in banana boxes? Yes. And I take a lot of aspirin, too.

PARK CITY � The Newton High School wrestling team had the numbers it needed to contend at the Class 5A state tournament Friday and Saturday at Hartman Arena, but couldn�t put enough wins together to do it.?Newton finished seventh out of 32 teams. Newton put three wrestlers in the finals and claimed a total of five medals.?Arkansas City repeated as state champions with 177.5 points, followed by St. James Academy at 141, St. Thomas Aquinas at 128, Topeka Seaman at 115, Valley Center at 105.5, Andover Central at 100.5 and Newton at 98. The Railers entered the tournament as defending runners-up.?�It was a tough tournament,� Newton coach Jude Wilson said. �There are so many tough 5A teams. We knew we had to come out and perform well. If you�re not ready to go, it will show up. We struggled some. We struggled in finding those wins. When you put this many good 5A schools together, you�re going to have a great tournament. I have to hand it to Ark City. They had a heck of a state tournament.?The round that perhaps hurt the Railers the most Saturday was the second consolation round, losing four of five matches.?�We didn�t get a lot of help from the backside,� Wilson said. �It wasn�t they weren�t wrestling well. It was that they weren�t scoring more points than the other guy. It was just a tough tournament. I thought our guys fought hard. They made too many mistakes. We were hoping for more, but the kids gave it what they had. It�s hard to tell what�s going to happen when you put this many good teams together.�?At 126 pounds, Quinton Harrison opened the day in the semifinals, scoring a takedown with 16 seconds remaining in overtime to edge Dalton Dietrich of Arkansas City 4-2. Harrison gave up an escape early in the third period, but scored a takedown with 13 seconds remaining in regulation. Dietrich scored an escape to put the match in overtime.?In the finals, Harrison met Greg Burley of Great Bend in a rematch of the regional finals, which Harrison won 3-1.?In the rematch, the first period was scoreless. Burley rode Harrison out in the second period, but Harrison was given a penalty point for locked hands at the buzzer. Burley scored an escape early in the third period, sending the match into overtime.?Neither wrestler scored in overtime. In the first tie-break round, Burley scored an escape. In the second tie-break round, Harrison came close twice to getting an escape, but couldn�t free his leg for the points. Burley had Harrison by the foot at the buzzer for the 2-1 win.?Harrison ends the season 30-8.?�He�s tough on top,� Harrison said. �I knew he was a really good wrestler. It could have gone either way.�?Harrison, a senior, was making his second trip to the finals. His last time came as a sophomore. He�s a four-time medalist.?�It�s been a long career,� Harrison said. �I�m not satisfied with second, but I�m happy with four placings.�?At 170 pounds, Jared Langley opened in the semifinals against Great Bend�s Darion Yager, a rematch of last week�s regional semifinals, which Langley won 12-0. Langley posted a quick takedown, pinning Yager with 22 seconds left in the first period.?In the finals, Langley met unbeaten Bryant Guillen of Topeka Seaman. The first two periods were scoreless, although Langley missed a couple of chances to score reversals in the second period. Langley got reversed in the third period, missing two more chances for reversals. Langley scored an escape with 15 seconds remaining, missing a shot and falling 2-1. Langley, a sophomore, ends the season 36-6.?�He�s a good guy,� Langley said. �I�m just going to work hard in the off-season and next season to come back here and win next time. I want to help the team win too. I wrestled him at Douglass. It was 5-4 there. It got tight. I was trying and trying (to get the reversal), but I was running out of time, so I was looking for different things I could do. (For next year,) I need to do more training, weight lifting and getting better in all aspects. I do freestyle and Greco-(Roman this summer) and I�ll go from there.�?At 195 pounds, Dillon Archer opened against Ben Taliaferro of Shawnee Heights, which likes to put the Superman symbol on the front of their singlets. Archer had enough kryptonite to lead 7-2 after the first period, adding nine more points in the second before scoring the pin.?In the finals, Archer faced unbeaten Preston Weigel of Hays for the third time. Weigel scored a first-period takedown. Neither wrestler scored in the second period. In the third period, Weigel added an escape. Archer posted a late takedown, falling 3-2.?Archer, a senior, ends the season 35-3.?�He�s a tough opponent,� Archer said. �It�s been a great season for him. It was a tough match. As an athlete, you�re always looking for the best competition. He moved up two weight classes this?�All three wrestled tremendous matches,� Wilson said. �A slight mistake here or there means you�re down a point, and it�s hard to get back into those matches. At this level, it�s hard to make up for those mistakes.�?At 220 pounds, Raymond Gallegos opened the day in the second consolation round against Alex Parker of Salina South. Gallegos gave up a takedown early in the second period, but came back with a takedown of his own. In the third period, Gallegos added a reversal and a set of backpoints before scoring the pin.?In the consolation quarterfinals against Jesse Colvin of Leavenworth, the first period was scoreless and Gallegos was ridden out in the second period. Colvin scored a quick escape in the third period. Gallegos scored the takedown with 22 seconds remaining and held on for a 2-1 decision to clinch a medal.?In the consolation semifinals, Gallegos fell behind 3-0 to Tyson Toelkes of Shawnee Heights. Gallegos scored an escape in the third period, but couldn�t score again, falling 3-1.?In the fifth-place match, Gallegos had a rematch with quarterfinal opponent Dylan Cox of Arkansas City. Cox won the first match 5-3. In the rematch, tied 0-0 after two periods, Gallegos was able to turn Cox in the third and post a pin.?Gallegos, a junior, finishes the season 35-9, winning four matches Saturday.?�I went out there with the attitude that I had nothing to lose, so I went out there and gave it all I got,� Gallegos said. �It was the final match of the season. I was a little shocked I got the cradle, but I knew then I was going to get the win. Getting the pin made it even better. I�ve wrestled him numerous times. I just had to be smart. (In the off-season,) I need to train harder, get stronger and faster. I want to come back here and win a state championship. I�ll do some freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling this summer, and probably do some club wrestling.�?�Raymond had a hard-fought tournament,� Wilson said. �He fought some very good kids to get where he was. At 220, that weight was so evenly matched. A kid that he split with was in the finals. A kid he met for fifth, he lost to twice. He found a way to win. He beat a real tough kids from Leavenworth, who beat him earlier in the year. It�s too bad he didn�t finish a little bit higher, but you have to be proud of the effort.�?At heavyweight, Garret Lee drew top-ranked and undefeated Nathan Butler of Leavenworth in the semifinals. Lee gave up a takedown in the first period and a reversal in the second before getting pinned.?In the consolation semifinals, Lee went scoreless in the first two periods against Arkansas City�s Matt McCormack. In the third period, McCormack scored an escape and held Lee off for a 1-0 win.?In the fifth-place match, Lee faced Zac Sander of Valley Center. After a scoreless first period, Sander scored an escape in the second. Lee opened the third period with an escape, but gave up a takedown. Lee scored another escape, but Sander held off any shots by Lee for a 3-2 win.?Lee, a senior, ends the season 34-9.?Anthony Monares lost in the second consolation round to Kade Sander of Great Bend 4-3. Tied 3-3 in the third period, Monares gave up an intentional escape with 90 seconds remaining, but was never able to get the takedown. Monares ends the season 15-8.?At 152 pounds, Peter Nelson jumped to a 7-2 lead in the second consolation round against Zack Hoskins of St. Thomas Aquinas. Hoskins took control of the match from the second period on, posting an 18-8 major decision. Nelson ends the season 14-10.?At 160 pound, Heydon Mock was scoreless in the first two periods of his second consolation round match against Jesse Oliver of Wichita West. Mock gave up a pair of back points in the third period, but scored a reversal and rode Oliver out for the remainder of regulation to tie it. Mock missed a shot early in overtime, and gave up a takedown with 12 seconds remaining for a 4-2 loss.?Mock ends the season 31-14.?At 182 pounds, Noah Ornelas lost in the second consolation round to Dalton Rodd of Andover Central 14-1. Ornelas, a freshman, ends the season 21-14.?Newton loses a total of nine seniors and a foreign exchange student.?�It�s going to be tough to say goodbye to this group of seniors,� Wilson said. �They were great leaders and they will be missed. (The underclassmen) have to continue to work. They have to find ways to stay on the mat. Every little bit helps. They have to make good decisions in their lives. They�re good kids and I think they will continue to do that.�

Another Danger with Corrosion
Phil Kinnane June 12, 2012
It's long been known that a danger with corrosion is that it compromises the structures that it affects. This is particularly relevant for the naval industry where material failure leads to leaks and the like. Now, another danger is becoming apparent.
Galvanic, crevice and other types of corrosion are electrochemical in nature and give rise to small currents passing between the corroding and most noble regions, via the material and surrounding electrolyte. To combat this, you can impose an opposite electric current in a process known as cathodic protection. In many cases, this leads to an even larger current passing through the material and surrounding electrolyte.
This is where problems arise. Electric currents give rise to electric potentials, and these can be measured. If a submarine, for example, is imposing an electric current through its hull and propeller, then there is a pretty big (in terms of area) electric potential that could be used to detect the submarine, or even set off a mine. This is further complicated by the submarine's rotating propeller, which modulates the signal.
What to do? One solution is to turn the cathodic protection process off when the submarine is in an area of reasonable danger. But this won't work as the corroding process itself has its own electric potential signature that can be detected.
David Schaefer at the University of Duisburg-Essen, in Germany, is simulating these underwater electrical potential signatures of submarines, on the commission of the Technical Center for Ships and Naval Weapons. Using COMSOL Multiphysics, he and his team were able to simulate the signal and find that you could run cathodic protection at a certain amperage, resulting in a signal less noticeable than that during corrosion. Read more about it in the COMSOL News 2012 article "Submarines: Corrosion Protection or Enemy Detection?" (on page 67).
Underwater Electric Potential Signatures below the keel, for different currents imposed through
cathodic protection. A signature is evident when corrosion is occurring (top left), which can be
optimized at 3.5 A (top middle). Overprotection results in larger signatures.
