text: With Chip Kelly becoming the new head coach of the Eagles, that could mean the end of Nick Foles' career in Philadelphia. He absolutely does not fit the Chip Kelly offensive system. He does however fit the Andy Reid system and has the tools to become a potential franchise QB. Interesting trade possibility there. Also, Mel Kiper (for what it's worth - don't laugh) projects NO QBs going in the first round in his mock draft. Now that's a little ridiculous, but saying that none would have top 10 pick grades might be a bit more reasonable. I see a trade down or drafting a non QB with the top pick and then taking one in the 2nd round, or a trade up with the 2nd round pick for a QB. Foles or Kolb plus a rookie taken in the latter part of the first round or early 2nd round that Reid identifies as his guy, could be a good combination.

Gay U.K. Hairdresser Sentenced for Scissor Stabbing
A gay British hairdresser has been slapped with a two and a half year jail sentence for stabbing a man with a pair of scissors. The 26-year old committed the act after upon hearing anti-gay remarks made by the stabbing victim, the Daily Mail (U.K.) reported.
On Sunday, June 24 Lee Howett was waiting for his train in Essex, England, after a night of heavy drinking. He was waiting on a bench at the train station's platform when a group of three men carrying beer came near him around 11:15 p.m. The men were celebrating but Howett became annoyed with how loud they were and told them to shut up.
Apparently, Howett's remarks sparked the men to lash out and two separate fights occurred. At one point, the victim hurled anti-gay slurs towards the Howett, which caused the hairdresser to go back to the bench where he was waiting, grab a pair of scissors out his bag before he approached the men for a third time.
Howett then stabbed the man in the right shoulder blade.
After the incident, Howett waited for the police and confessed to stabbing the man.
"People who use scissors as a weapon in a public place to stab somebody must face imprisonment," Judge David Owen Jones told the hairdresser, who also bit the victim.
The court was told that Howett was upset about a confrontation he had with an ex-boyfriend as the couple broke up two weeks before the stabbing.
"Having been abused by his ex-partner it is right to say that his emotions were running high," Howett's attorney, Chris Whitcombe, said. "By the time he got to the train station the situation was extremely raw and whilst that doesn't excuse his behaviour it puts it into context. Howett has been subjected to homophobic abuse since his school days. He has been an openly gay man since his teenage years. He would normally get up and walk away and had never confronted anybody before, but whatever had taken place previously was the catalyst and he reacted extremely badly."
Howett, however, pleaded guilty to one count of wounding with intent and he was slapped with a two and a half year prison sentence.
"It may be and I accept it probably was the case that one of the young men made a homophobic comment towards you," the hairdresser told the court. "That must have been hurtful but unfortunately you reacted very badly when it would have been easier to distance yourself from the group."

Organization celebrates efforts despite falling short of goal
Despite falling short about three-fourths the way to its fundraising goal, Adair County United Way Director John Dungan heralded the nearly $200,000 in donations and the good it does in the community as massive and meaningful.
The donations will mean youth at the Adair County YMCA unable to pay for a membership will have access to the gym and activities. It will mean a family left homeless after a house fire will have a place to lay their heads at night.
The donations will mean all those things and more thanks to the United Way's 13 local service agencies as well as each and every donor, Dungan said Tuesday.
"It's worth remembering that even though we fell short of the goal, there's still a lot that's happening because of the generosity of everyone and what our agencies do," Dungan told about 100 community and United Way board members at the annual luncheon Tuesday.
The non-profit raised about $195,000, about three-fourths of its $264,000 goal for last year's campaign. It was at least the third consecutive year the local United Way has failed to meet its fundraising goal.
"It still has a big impact on the community," Dungan said. "And that keeps me going, knowing that what we bring in still makes a massive difference."
On the year, the organization distributed about $160,000 of its donations to the 13 service agencies, which will then go on to serve anyone from youth through the Boy and Girl Scouts to terminal end-of-life care through Hospice of Northeast Missouri.
While looking forward to the next fundraising campaign, Dungan told the group the board may consider lowering the goal to provide a more attainable target, but it would also work to increase its awareness, fundraising events and agency engagement.
"This was a rough year. We had a tough time with the campaign," Dungan said. He referenced the uncertainty brought on by national budget debates, the presidential election cycle and a still recovering economy as contributors to the slow campaign.
The United Way also recognized a long-time board member and supporter with the Hall of Fame award for outgoing board member Judy Vogt.
Vogt, who has served on the board for at least six years and been involved in United Way leadership and fundraising, was thanked for her service and care to the community.
Outgoing United Way board members are: Paula Cochran, Bonnie Collier, Karen Collier, Kelly Freeland, Pam Harrelson, Micheal Jones, Judy Vogt and Jessica Claybrook.
Returning board members are: Carson Adams, President Deanna Adams, Barb Berendzen, Treasurer Sam Berendzen, Brad Chambers, Cheri Coin, Terri Jones, Secretary Amanda Moser, Joe Novinger, Harold Osborn, Kelly Paino, Vice-President Laura Reynolds, Jayne Sherman, Barb Stone and Matt Wilson.
New board members are: Wayne Blackman, Larry Ellsworth, Donnie Harn, Jessica Harn, Melissa Huegerick, Robyn Kollar, Jon Lovegreen, Rebecca McClanahan, Phyllis Miller, Travis Miller, Jason Shaw and Sara Smith.
The United Way's partner agencies are: Adair County YMCA, Adair County 4-H, Boy and Girl Scouts, Community Opportunities, Hospice of Northeast Missouri, Kirk-Tran, Macon Diversivied Industries, North-central Missouri Red Cross, NEMO Senior Citizen's Services, Heartland RSVP, Salvation Army and Victim Support Services.

After the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy in 1968, his brother Ted ended a moving eulogy by saying, "My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life; to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will someday come to pass for all the world."

Schedule: 6 sessions; once a week for six weeks (skipping Memorial Day weekend)
Class Time/Dates:
2:30-5:30pm on Sundays
May 12, May 19, and June 2, 9, 16, and 23.
*No class on May 26 for Memorial Day weekend.*
Class size: 16 students maximum
Class length: 3 hours (18 hours total)
Prerequisite: None
*Attendance at the first session of your course is encouraged - if you think you have to miss the first session of your Foundation 1 class, please notify the office*
Are you a seasoned performer or is the stage foreign territory? Do you like to make stuff up or do you get nervous at parties? Do you sing in the shower or do you want to loosen up?
Regardless of your experience, background or training, we think EVERYBODY can benefit from studying improv. This six-session class is a fun intro to the joys and thrills of improvisation and the BATS Improv style.
Students learn improv vocabulary, use practical skills, and perform in a friendly atmosphere. Foundation I is all about unleashing your innate skill. You'll play games and experiment with creating characters and scenes.
Key concepts in Foundation 1 include:
* Spontaneity
* Making Offers (blocking and accepting)
* Storytelling/Narrative
* Status
* Endowments
* Where/Space Objects (creating "props" and "locations" out of thin air)
Some of the lessons of this six-week course: Have fun. Accept the audience's ideas. Make your partner look good. Start positive. Pay attention. Fail "good naturedly." Make eye contact. Avoid asking questions in scenes. Mime as well as you can. "Yes, and..." Dare to be dull. Accept your own ideas. Explore flexible status.
In short, there's plenty to cover. And you'll be amazed at how the lessons apply to your life both on and off stage. Like we said, there's no experience necessary.
At the conclusion, everyone "passes" and can move on to Foundation 2, but you can also take Foundation 1 as many times as you would like and are sure to get something new out of it each time.
(For some folks, this all the improv they could ever want or need!)
BATS Improv Class Refund Policy:
Your class tuition includes a 20% non-refundable deposit.
If you have registered for a class and decide you want to drop that class AT LEAST 14 DAYS BEFORE THE FIRST CLASS SESSION, you may choose to receive a refund for the amount of the class minus your non-refundable deposit OR you may choose to reapply your payment IN FULL to another BATS class.

Sen. Lautenberg outlines transportation subcommittee priorities, announces retirementWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) outlined his goals in 2013 as chairman of the Subcommittee on Surface Transportation and Merchant Marine Infrastructure, Safety, and Security, before retiring in 2014.
"As chairman of the Surface Transportation Subcommittee, I will continue working vigorously to modernize America's transportation network and ensure the safety and security of our roads, rails, pipelines and ports," said Sen. Lautenberg. "Improving passenger and high-speed rail service in America and on the Northeast Corridor is a top priority that my subcommittee will pursue aggressively. A strong surface transportation network is critical to helping the economy thrive and our work will help create jobs, drive growth and keep America competitive. Transportation is the lifeblood of New Jersey's economy and economies all across the country and I am committed to using the gavel to bring America's infrastructure into the 21st Century."
Sen. Lautenberg has been an advocate for modernizing America's passenger and high-speed rail services and will continue his work to strengthen Amtrak and prioritize rail transportation on the subcommittee. In 2008, he wrote the law to authorize and increase funding for Amtrak and create the nation's high-speed rail grant program. In 2011, he worked to secure the designation of the Northeast Corridor as a federally recognized high-speed rail corridor, which allowed Amtrak to receive $450 million in federal funding for high-speed rail upgrades benefiting New Jersey.
An important part of Sen. Lautenberg's passenger rail agenda will be advancing the Gateway Tunnel, a project under the Hudson River, which will increase commuter rail access between New Jersey and New York and make improved high-speed rail service possible on the Northeast Corridor. Lautenberg helped secure an initial $15 million for Amtrak to begin design and engineering work on the Gateway Tunnel project. As a member of the Appropriations Committee, Lautenberg is working to secure an additional $20 million.
Additionally, Sen. Lautenberg in the past helped author major transportation bills that have increased federal transit spending in New Jersey by 50 percent; championed the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail since its inception, securing more than $1.1 billion in funding for the project; secured more than $500 million in federal funding to create the New Jersey Transit Secaucus station, which now serves as a common link between most of New Jersey's rail lines, allows Bergen County commuters to transfer to Manhattan and laid the groundwork for a new rail line directly to the Meadowlands for major events and in 2008, he signed a law, requiring railroads to improve safety by limiting hours of service, improving grade-crossing safety and requiring new safety technology that will improve safety for rail passengers, automobile drivers and communities near rail lines.
Sen. Lautenberg was also a co-author of the Superstorm Sandy disaster aid package, which provided a total of $13 billion to rebuild and strengthen transportation infrastructure.
"This is not the end of anything, but rather the beginning of a two-year mission to pass new gun safety laws, protect children from toxic chemicals and create more opportunities for working families in New Jersey," he said. "While I may not be seeking re-election, there is plenty of work to do before the end of this term and I'm going to keep fighting as hard as ever for the people of New Jersey in the U.S. Senate."

A summer of rain has left its mark on South Carolina, undermining dozens of roads, flooding neighborhoods from the mountains to the coast, and ruining the South Carolina Botanical Gardens.
It may not be over. With soil moisture at near-record levels, emergency officials worry that if a decaying tropical storm moves over the state in the next month and brings more torrential rains, the results could be disastrous.
"The ground cannot take much more rain. But there's really not much we can do except wait and hope for some dry days," said Pickens County Emergency Management Deputy Director Denise Kwiatek.
Parts of Pickens County have received more than 60 inches of rain so far in 2013, which is more than the average rainfall for a year in the area. Nearly half of the state's 46 counties, spread all across South Carolina, have seen at least 40 inches of rain during this period, according to a review of data collected by volunteers for the National Weather Service's Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network program.
The torrential rains in Pickens County caused $200,000 worth of damage earlier this month at the South Carolina Botanical Gardens at Clemson University, garden Director Patrick McMillan said.
About 8 inches of rain fell in about four hours overnight on July 14. Trails were destroyed and plants were swept away by the runoff. The Natural Heritage Garden, with its more than 1,000 varieties of native plants in their natural habitats, is gone. The exhibit had only been open a few months, McMillan said.
The garden is seeking donations to help pay for the damage, which wasn't covered by the university's insurance. McMillan said botanical gardens from across the country have volunteered to send replacement plants.
There was a blessing in the damage, McMillan said. The garden will rebuild with protections against a similar future flood and will educate visitors on how people may need to adapt to extreme weather.
"We've had a 100-year drought, 100-year heat wave and 100-year flood all in the past four years. As climate become more volatile, we're going to try to illustrate the idea that we need to adapt," McMillan said.
Outside of the botanical gardens and a few other pockets of the state, the heavy rains haven't caused major damage. Part of that is because the precipitation has pulled the state out of a long drought. There may be no better spot to illustrate the turnaround than Lake Hartwell in the northwest part of the state.
In August 2008, the lake was at 637.6 feet. Earlier this month, the lake crested a full 27 feet higher at 665 feet, less than 6 inches from the record level set almost 50 years ago.
All that water has to go somewhere, and it is causing a slow moving flood downstream. In Jasper County, the Savannah River is cresting at its highest point in 20 years, chasing people from their homes.
Boats have also become a familiar sight in neighborhoods in Horry County, where the Waccamaw River went over its banks, or in Bamberg, Dorchester and Colleton counties, where the Edisto River is reaching levels not seen in 40 years.
The rains have washed out several roads and caused sinkholes to form on others. The Department of Transportation said about 16 roads across the state remained closed this weekend, including U.S. 178 in Pickens County near the North Carolina state line, where crews expect to spend a month cleaning up a mudslide. Dirt roads in rural areas of the state also remain a mess because they will have to dry out before crews can get equipment out to smooth them over.
Road crews have worked plenty of overtime in the past two weeks hustling out barricades to block flooded roads or doing inspections on bridges after heavy rains, said Brandon Wilson, assistant maintenance engineer for the DOT in four Upstate counties.
"We keep doing the same the thing over again, just in a different place each time we get another storm," Wilson said.
The forecast for the next week or two is similar to conditions all this summer — fast-growing storms with quick bursts of heavy rain, said Mark Malsick, severe weather liaison for the State Climate Office.
"Not everyone is getting it on the same day, but overall, for these two months, everybody has gotten above average rainfall," Malsick said.
That has left soil moisture at near-record levels for this time of year. That means it takes a lot less rain to cause a flood, which could be dangerous as the calendar turns toward August. South Carolina can get dying tropical storms and hurricanes that can bring a foot or more than rain in only a few days.
Lakes, rivers and the ground can't take that type of rain, and catastrophes from inland flooding have happened in the Carolinas before. In 1999, Hurricane Floyd dumped 20 inches of rain on eastern North Carolina, where the ground was already saturated from the rain brought by Hurricane Dennis days earlier. It led to 52 deaths in that state and some $6 billion in damage there.
But it is way too early to know if anything like that might happen this year.
If it does happen, South Carolina's amazing yearly rainfall record of 120.21 inches at Hogback Mountain in Greenville County might be broken. That record was set in 1979 when weakening hurricanes David and Frederick moved over the Upstate, Malsick said.
"The wild card is always tropical season," Malsick said. "We can get one of these things to move through and blow all types of records away."

The SCO Group plans to emerge from Chapter 11 soon and revealed that not only will it modify its business strategy towards mobile products, it will also replace chief executive officer Darl McBride and pick up the Linux and Unix license lawsuits against IBM and Novell. The new owner of The SCO Group, investment firm Stephen Norris Capital Partners, is planning to open a new chapter in SCO's Linux lawsuit history, which started back in March of 2003 when the company filed a USD 1 billion suit against IBM. As part of its plan organization, SCO announced that it will appeal the proceedings, which will begin with an appeal against a key decision in favor of Novell from August 10, 2007, which also impacts the lawsuit against IBM.

Downtown Houma has been named one of three winners of the 2012 Great Places in Louisiana award.
Downtown Houma has been named one of three winners of the 2012 Great Places in Louisiana award.
The award recognizes new methods in planning, design, construction services and programs that make it possible to live in a community through a lifetime, according to a news release from AARP Louisiana, the Center for Planning Excellence and the Lieutentant Governor's Office.
Each Great Place award winner received $1,500 and a plaque at the Smart Growth Summit in Baton Rouge Wednesday.
The other winners were Bike Easy, which works to improve bicycling in New Orleans, and NuNu Arts and Culture Collective in Arnaudville, which focuses on arts and culture, career development, education and sustainable development.
Judges evaluated each nomination using criteria that included affordability, accessibility, connectivity, sustainability, community engagement, walkability and public transit.
Some elements that gave Houma the win included revitalizing the Downtown Marina, creating a scenic walkway along Bayou Terrebonne and launching a farmer's market.
Judges also noted the Terrebonne Folklife Cultural Center, the Terrebonne Waterlife Museum and the Main Street Memorial Park, which preserves the culture of the Houma area.
During a Wednesday night Terrebonne Parish Council public hearing, parish Planning and Zoning Director Pat Gordon and Parish President Michel Claudet expressed their gratitude for the award.
"Our Main Street Manager Anne Picou and the (Downtown Development Corp.) should also be congratulated for their great efforts, and of course we appreciate the support of the administration and the Parish Council," Gordon said.
Claudet said Gordon was being modest.
"I had a discussion with someone this week from the state," Claudet said. "And the guy says to me, 'Do you realize that you have some of the best people in the state working in your planning department?' I said, 'I already knew that.'"
Picou said she was "very elated" Houma was selected.
"We all think we are doing a good job, but it's touching when people outside the area appreciate and recognize what you're doing," Picou said.
Picou said she can see why Houma is appealing to people over age 50 and otherwise.
There is the Le Bonne Terre Village apartment complex for retirees, which is centrally located, making it easy for people to get around and to get to the nearby bus station, Picou said.
Also, there's a nearby hospital, a variety of restaurants and a decent mixture of residential and commercial property, she said.
High on Picou's list of things she hopes to improve upon downtown includes crosswalks.
The primary crosswalks would be installed at the Le Bonne Terre apartments that would provide a direct route to the bus station and at the courthouse.
"We are continuing to look for more funding to make our sidewalks more pedestrian-friendly," Picou said.
If residents have other ideas of what they would like to see downtown, Picou said "voicing their opinions" is the first step.
Picou said the $1,500 will go toward new Christmas decorations downtown.

Take a look at this snapshot from Health Canada's website fact sheet entitled Healthy Lawn Tips.
- Although it may look untidy, leave grass clippings on your lawn when you mow it to provide nutrient recycling.
- Aerate compacted soil in the fall to help oxygen, water and nutrients reach roots.
- Over-seed patchy areas.
- In heavy traffic areas, replace grass with mulch or paving stones.
- Check your lawn for early signs of pests and other problems such as holes caused by small animals digging for insects.
- Set your mower so that your grass is seven to eight cm high to encourage deeper roots and help fend off weeds.
- Water infrequently, but when you do, make sure you allow the water to get deep into the soil (about 1.5 centimetres) to promote deep roots. Over-watering starves the soil of oxygen and invites disease. Apply at least 2.5 centimetres of water. Put a container on your lawn to measure how much you've watered. An empty tuna can is about the right height.
- Maintain good soil with ample depth and organic matter to prevent problems.
- If physical control methods fail and you use a pesticide, be sure the one you pick lists the pest you are trying to control on the label, and follow all the instructions.

A Leavenworth man who was sentenced last year to more than nine years in prison in three drug cases will be heading back to Leavenworth County District Court after an appeals court ordered a new hearing.
A Leavenworth man who was sentenced last year to more than nine years in prison in three drug cases will be heading back to Leavenworth County District Court after an appeals court ordered a new hearing.
A hearing was held Thursday in Leavenworth County District Court regarding the appealed cases of Marcus W. Byers.
Byers, who remains in prison for an earlier conviction, was not present. But attorneys who were involved in the three cases were present. An evidentiary hearing was scheduled for Jan. 10. Byers should be present for that hearing.
Byers, 41, was sentenced in May 2012 to 110 months to two counts of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and a felony charge of possession of drug paraphernalia in one case, two counts of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute in a second case and one charge of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute in the third case. The crimes were reported to have occurred in 2011.
He pleaded no contest to the charges in February 2012, but before the sentencing, he asked to withdraw his pleas.
Byers argued he thought he would have been granted a reduction in his bond or a furlough so he could be out of the Leavenworth County Jail for about two weeks before the sentencing. He also argued he had not realized he would end up having to register as a drug offender.
District Judge Gunnar Sundby denied a motion to withdraw the pleas.
In a decision released July 26, the Kansas Court of Appeals remanded the case back to Leavenworth County District Court and ordered an evidentiary hearing regarding whether someone promised Byers bond modification or a furlough in exchange for his pleas "as this determination has not yet been made."
The Court of Appeals judges did not rule in favor of Byers regarding the drug offender registration issue.
In his appeal, Byers also raised an issue regarding the use of his criminal history to enhance the sentence. But the Court of Appeals judges indicated that the Kansas Supreme Court already has ruled on this issue.
County Attorney Todd Thompson and Clinton Lee, who represented Byers in the cases, were in court for Thursday's hearing.
John Bryant prosecuted the case for the Leavenworth County Attorney's Office. He now works of the Kansas Attorney General's Office. But he was in Leavenworth Thursday for a case he's prosecuting for the Attorney General's Office, and he also was present for the hearing on the Byers matter.
Bryant may be a witness during the future evidentiary hearing.
"It was brought to my attention that Mr. Lee may be a witness as well," Sundby said.
Because of this, the judge said he will appoint another attorney to represent Byers.
"So you'll be released as counsel at this time Mr. Lee," Sundby said.
The judge initially suggested scheduling the evidentiary hearing for next month. But Bryant wouldn't be available, so the matter was set for Jan. 10.
Arrangements will be made to have Byers transported to Leavenworth for the hearing.
Byers currently is incarcerated at the Norton Correctional Facility, according to a website for the Kansas Department of Corrections.

CHELMSFORD -- Plans for the new central fire station were detailed at a Planning Board hearing this week, and were met with criticism from board members for its design.
The style for the station took some cues from the existing station and Town Hall, to which it will be adjoined by a small corridor. Planning Board members said the design didn't have any specific feel to it and didn't match well with Town Hall.
"Make it something the town can be proud of, and the neighborhood can be proud of as well," board member Robert Joyce said, urging architects to design something that fit in well with a partly residential neighborhood. Joyce also compared the proposal to the new CVS on Boston Road, which was ultimately lauded by town officials for its aesthetics when it opened late last year.
"It kind of reminds me of CVS," Joyce said. "The first time they came in, it was awful, and I think this is awful."
The building has a brick exterior with slight touches recalling the current central station on North Road, but has a more modern look. Janet Slemenda, of HKT Architects, said designers took the existing station's window styling, horizontal banding and flat roof, and she dismissed one board member's request for arched windows.
"We looked at arched windows originally, and it actually doesn't look very good at all," Slemenda said, mentioning the different styles of Town Hall and the proposed station. "They aren't the same."
Board member Susan Carter compared the project to the Adams Library, where a new addition blended well with an older wing.
A few slight changes will be made to the design, including installing shields to block from view mechanical equipment on the building's roof. But other changes might not be practical, Slemenda said. Board member Michael Raisbeck asked whether a fifth window could be added across the front of the building, but the number of windows now, four, match with the number of interior windows, she said.
The nearly three-hour hearing on Wednesday also included questions about parking and potential effects on traffic and pedestrian safety. Parking for Town Hall would mostly be shifted to an existing lower parking lot behind where the station will be built. About two dozen parking spots will remain in front of Town Hall, and 66 in the back.
A traffic study determined that the station won't add a significant amount of traffic. A traffic light will be built in front of the station on Billerica Road, with lights turning red only to allow emergency vehicles to leave the station.
A few changes have been made in consideration to neighbors, planners said. The traffic light, for example, will have a green light instead of a traditional flashing yellow. The building sign was reduced in size, lights were removed from the driveway, minimal windows were designed on sides facing neighbors, and a crosswalk added across Billerica Road.
The Planning Board will continue the hearing on the proposal at its next meeting on Feb. 13.
The station, which was approved by voters last year, will replace the current station and department offices, which were built in 1952. It will be more than 19,000 square feet, double the size of the current station. The $7.8 million project will be funded under a 20-year bond at a 2.32-percent interest rate.

Last week, Mike Kopp stepped down from the state Senate seat he had held since first being elected in 2006. With his departure, Jefferson County loses a statesman.
Serving in the legislature while maintaining a "day job" is tough enough for any father. But for Mike, it had become impossible. Three months ago, Mike's wife and best friend, Kimberly, lost her three-year battle with cancer. Without regret or second thoughts, Mike decided that his four school-age kids needed more of his time.

EDMONTON - As the Edmonton Eskimos prepare to welcome the B.C. Lions to Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday night, the focus first goes to the quarterbacks.
Mike Reilly, the Eskimos' starting quarterback, is in Edmonton because of Travis Lulay, the Lions' starter. After two-plus seasons of serving as Lulay's backup, Reilly wanted to play but knew Lulay was a fixture in Vancouver, removable only by injury.
"We've had that conversation a number of times," Reilly told a horde of reporters camped out around his locker stall on Friday afternoon.
"I think we're both smart guys and, looking at it, we knew only one guy could start and he was the guy that established himself in B.C. My contract was coming to an end there, so I knew I wanted to have the opportunity to go start somewhere else. We had those discussions."
More than that, the two have a legitimate friendship. They were golf partners when they were teammates and, even this season, they've been in constant communication, discussing the defences of the other six Canadian Football League teams and the challenges they present. That conversation, Reilly pointed out, hasn't happened this week.
But quarterbacks don't line up against one another on the field. The matchup that matters after the ball is kicked off on Saturday night is Reilly versus the Lions defence, puppeteered by defensive co-ordinator Rich Stubler, whose defence held opposing teams to a CFL-best 295 total yards per game last year.
Success for either side boils down to what the defensive mastermind has cooked up for a guy whom he worked against in practice over the last few seasons.
"You learn a lot about everybody in practice," Stubler said shortly after the Lions arrived in Edmonton. "He's in a system now that's different than the system we're in, but … Mike's a great competitor. He's a guy who takes everything on and has a great time doing it. He's one of those guys who loves to play the game, whether that's practice or anything else."
"Anything I gained as an advantage playing against them for three years, they gained that same advantage on me," Reilly said. "They know how I like to play. I'm comfortable with their personnel in terms of knowing who plays what position and seeing the guys on the field and being able to locate them pretty easily, but Stubler has a pretty good defensive scheme.
"I know he likes to confuse the quarterback and mix things up and make it difficult."
Saturday promises to be a big test for Reilly, as he learns how to be a starter in the CFL and goes up against a veteran co-ordinator and an experienced defence.
"(Stubler) is going to change things up," Reilly said. "He has his tendencies, like every other co-ordinator does, but one thing I learned playing against him every day in practice was that depending on the opponent, they're changing things up a lot.
"Even watching film of the last couple of weeks and seeing what they did against Toronto and what they did against Calgary, they're going to do different things against us."
In prepping for the Eskimos this week, coming off of a win where the Lions held the Argonauts to 16 points, Stubler said Reilly did a great job of recovering from the Week 1 loss against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
"He's learning his receivers," said Stubler, who'd spent the 2011 season as the Eskimos' defensive co-ordinator. "He's only been here a couple of months and … from his first week to his second week, his improvement was great. He's a good kid, great kid."
Stubler figures Reilly will continue to grow throughout this season.
"If he doesn't (improve weekly), they made a mistake taking him," he said, laughing. "But I don't think they did. Mike's one of those guys that (winning) is important to him and, so if it's important to him and he has fun, then he'll be good at it."
For now, Reilly is focused on the Eskimos' ability to play on the fly as the twio 1-1 teams are about to clash.
"We have to be able to adapt," Reilly said. "We have to talk about things on the sidelines and figure out what they're doing. You have a game plan, but that has to adapt and adjust as the game goes on."

Dear Editor:
"Allowing the young child to experience the natural world is not just a nice thing to do; it is their birthright, and is essential for their academic, physical, emotional and spiritual development." - Unknown Children need to feel pride in their surrounding community especially after the devastation brought on by hurricane Sandy. A beautifully, renovated Washington Park will certainly provide that sense of pride in their community despite the recent feelings of uncertainty they may have felt due to the shortages of electricity and gasoline. "It's dark, it's cold, will we have food to eat tomorrow?"
Now that the worst of the hurricane is behind us, let us help make our children feel a restored sense of pride in our community with the completion of Washington Park. I have had the opportunity to view the proposed improvements to the park and I feel when completed, Washington Park will be an asset in many ways to all the children in the surrounding community. Let me elaborate by saying that many children in urban areas do not have the luxury of having a large backyard and the obesity rate of our inner city children is critically on the rise. Therefore, a renovated Washington Park will provide them ample space to exercise, play, rollerblade, and bike ride, all while experiencing an environmental paradise. Students can utilize Washington Park before, during and after school. Parents will truly enjoy spending valuable time with their children in a beautifully renovated park. Zenohia Barlow once wrote, "Children are born with a sense of wonder and an affinity for nature. Properly cultivated, these values can mature into ecological literacy and eventually into sustainable patterns of living." As an educator, the proposed renovations to Washington Park can directly influence and enhance the school curriculum. Environmental studies can be integrated into our curriculum since the renovations incorporate a wide variety of tree and plant life. From an okame cherry tree to a red sunset maple, or a daffodil to a purple gem rhododendron, the students will be able to learn how to differentiate and appreciate many different species of plants and trees through the use of on-site investigation of the "new and improved" Washington Park.
The environmental additions to the park will greater expand its use from one of a sports only facility to one that includes a viable sanctuary to encourage environmental studies. The type of experiences that our children will receive from the renovations to Washington Park will promote a greater sense of family appreciation and involvement, healthier students, greater educational success and a true respect for our place in nature. Renovating Washington Park is an educational win for the children of our community, let's work together to get it done right away!

I know everyone active on this forum is a diehard Chiefs fan. Shoot, I'm a diehard and always will be one, but the decisions that continue to be made are absolutely ludicrous, and Clark Hunt and Pioli don't care one lick about what any of their financial providers think.
I know, I know, don't go nuts on the success or failure of the Chiefs. Guess what? When I support a team, I expect their best effort to being successful, and even if they aren't, at least do whatever it takes to make the team stronger. The sole fact that this team continues to run Cassel on that field tells me that they could care less about the raining of boos after every interception.
But wait! At least we have a team right? Well, let me tell everyone what most Chiefs fans are thinking right now. Why watch a team that is so awful? I could be riding my bike, or spending the day with the family, or go out to eat with friends. Why should I torture myself watching this team be a laughing stock and not even care? By the time Peyton Manning shows up, Arrowhead will be a complete ghost town.
Some of you probably know that I'm a big Royals fan too. While they've been terrible too, the sad thing is that both franchises are being run far too similar. It's the Walmart way people. The owners don't care about spending money, the GMs think they can get a miracle season from some of the key cogs on the team and everything will just magically happen like it did in 2010 for the Chiefs. Guess what? Flukes happen and won't last forever, and by that, I mean Cassel. Of course, he's not the only problem, but he's the biggest one because he's the supposed leader of the team.
I know this is a rant and I don't care. The only way action will be taken is if no one goes to Arrowhead, period. Clark Hunt needs to know that this will not be acceptable and the only way he'll know that is to continuously see an empty stadium. Local fans are even trying to buy a blimp every week running a banner that says "Fire Pioli, Bench Cassel". That's the magnitude of what fans are going through to end the stench of failure that Pioli and his regime have put this fanbase through.
Alright, that's my piece, flame away.

LOWELL -- A 49-year-old Florida man has been indicted on home-invasion charges after police say he assaulted a Billerica homeowner with a metal level, then taunted police, who were forced to tase him five times to subdue him last November.
Bryce Hardy, of Palm Harbor, Fla., was indicted Friday on charges of home invasion (two counts), assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault with a dangerous weapon (three counts), vandalizing property and resisting arrest.
No arraignment date has been scheduled in Superior Court.
At Hardy's Lowell District Court arraignment in November, prosecutors allege that at 3:25 a.m. on Nov. 16, Billerica police responded to a Pond Street home for a report of an unknown male banging on the door. The homeowners told police they were asleep when they heard someone kicking their front door yelling, "Where is Lindsay. I know she is there," Perlman said. No one by that name lives at that address.
At one point after kicking the front door, Perlman said Hardy gained access to the house.
Hardy allegedly punched the homeowner in the face several times and assaulted him with the metal level. The homeowner ran upstairs and called police.
When police arrived they said they saw Hardy holding a 4-foot metal level. Officers ordered him to drop the level, but Hardy laughed at the officers, prosecutors allege.
Police tased Hardy, but he held on to the level and walked toward the officers "holding (it) like a bat," according to prosecutors.
Days after his arrest, a Lowell District Court judge ordered Hardy held without bail to undergo a competency evaluation. The results of that evaluation are not known.

The Newton High School softball team had points in both games against the Hutchinson Salt Hawks to either tie or take the lead. The Railers dropped both games Wednesday at Kelsch Field. Hutchinson won the first game 5-2 and the second game 13-6. "Friday, we played pretty great against Salina Central," Newton coach Kirsten Horton said. "We turned around Tuesday (against Maize) and it went all down hill mentally. It's hard to come back and play the next day. The weather didn't help. It was 90 yesterday and freezing today. I'm proud of our last inning. I thought we might come back from that. In the first game, there were a few (base running errors). Sometimes, they have a little blackout time, and sometimes they happen at the same time." In the first game, Hutchinson scored three runs in the first inning. A two-out error in the third inning led to two more runs. Newton used a couple hits, walks, errors and a wild pitch to score two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. A potential third run in the inning was tagged out at home on the wild pitch. Newton had two runners on base and the game-tying run at the plate in the bottom of the seventh, but a baserunner caught stealing and a strikeout ended the threat. Taja Casanova pitched the win for Hutchinson. Lauren Regier took the loss for Newton. Jessica Motes and Taylor Burns each had two hits for the Railers. Julia Henry had two hits for Hutchinson. In the second game, Hutchinson took a 7-0 lead in the first two innings and added three runs in the fourth. Newton came back with three runs of its own in the bottom of the fourth. Hutchinson came back with a run in the fifth and another in the sixth, but the Railers were able to keep potential run-rule runs from getting across the plate. Hutchinson added another run in the seventh. In the bottom of the seventh, the Railers combined walks, hits and an error to score three runs. The Railers left bases loaded when the game ended. Casanova pitched for the win in the second game. Taylor Goerend took the loss for the Railers. Sara Rothe had five hits for Hutchinson, followed by Shayla DeGarmo and Emily Wessel each had two hits. Motes had two hits for Newton. Hutchinson improves to 6-4, 4-0 in Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail League Division I play. Newton falls to 3-15, 2-10 in AV-CTL I play. Newton ends the regular season May 9 at home against Goddard Eisenhower for senior night. "We have a whole week off now," Horton said. "Then we play Eisenhower. That's it until regionals." Tuesday, Newton dropped a pair of games at Maize. Newton lost the first game 19-4 and the second game 11-0. Both games were called after five innings on the 10-run rule.
Wednesday's games First game
