TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) New estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show modest population growth in Kansas, with the Fort Riley area ranking as the state's fastest-gaining region.
Census data released Thursday projects that Kansas gained about 15,500 residents from July 2011 to July 2012, bringing its population to almost 2.9 million. The projected growth was 0.5 percent.
The Census Bureau also said 40 of the state's 105 counties gained population over the year.
Census estimates said Geary and Riley counties had population growth of more than 3 percent. Both include portions of Fort Riley, where soldiers have been returning from overseas deployments.
Geary County gained 2,600 residents, making its population about 38,000, for 7.4 percent growth.
Riley County gained almost 2,400 residents, for a total population of nearly 76,000 and growth of 3.2 percent.

JJ and I managed to work our way through the pub and eventually found other Perl Mongers. Unfortunately as the pub was so busy several people failed to find us or left due to having nowhere to sit. Despite this there was still a notable attendance. Although it has to be said that London.pm are obviously no match for Birmingham, as can be seen in the last two slides, with their emtpy table and our still drinking table at the end of the night.

Students of the Health Science Academy at Rolla High School sponsored the 5K4Cans fun run held during a snowy day Saturday, May 4.
Students of the Health Science Academy at Rolla High School sponsored the 5K4Cans fun run held during a snowy day Saturday, May 4.
As a result of some recent research regarding hunger in America, the idea for a food drive became a service learning project. Students decided to host a 5K fun run with donations of food being the entry fee.
The fun run provided nearly 1,000 "kid-friendly" food items as well as a $200 donation for summertime nutritional needs of children in the Rolla community through the Rolla Backpack Program.
Faith Barnes, director of the program, spoke to the academy students about the program, which started more than six years, and shared stories of how children's lives and learning have been changed by it.
Currently, nearly 420 backpacks are distributed each Friday to children in Rolla Public Schools that provide food for children over the weekend.
The academy thanks the Rolla Lions Club, Pepsi Bottling, Meramec Electric and John Zimmermann for their generous donations and thanks the Medical Reserve Corps volunteers for providing a first aid station during the event.
The Health Science Academy is one of Rolla High School's career and technical education programs located in the Rolla Technical Center.
More than 130 high school juniors and seniors from Rolla and other area high schools participate in the course work designed to give students a head start in preparing for a health care career.

Regarding "Fire inspections in works," (Oct. 23, Page 1).
Skimming through the article, I soon came upon the inevitable: a fee will be assessed on each eligible property for the annual inspections.
"We need to do it," says Fire Chief Nick Ban, "in the best interests of the city."
No, Chief. If the best interests of the city are to be served, it needs to address the bullets flying around in the middle of the day, the drug dealers and the people who make it worthwhile for them to ply their wares in our once-great city.
How about a fee on these "citizens?" No, wait, they don't have any money. This "inspection" is nothing more than another tax on the law-abiding citizens who struggle to make a living and contribute their blood, sweat and tears to what once was the American dream.
We need two more policemen than firefighters in this city.
I also saw, after reading the article again, the most despicable part: The inspectors will be going into individual dwellings to make sure that the "code" is met. If not, are they rounded up and taken to the internment camps?
This should make every resident rise up and tell our nanny state leaders in city council, No.

Inducible_Systems >
Tetracycline-Inducible_Expression >
Compared to the original Tet-On and Tet-Off Systems, our Tet-Advanced Systems have been optimized for improved expression in mammalian cells by utilizing human codon preferences and removing cryptic splice sites from the mRNA sequence of the transactivator. These enhancements lead to higher and more stable expression levels, while the three minimal VP16 transcription activation domains minimize off-target effects and reduce toxicity. The PTight promoter contains a modified TRE that both reduces basal expression and promotes tight binding to the Tet-Advanced transactivator proteins during induction to permit specific and high-level transcription of your downstream gene
Tet-On 3G is the most advanced inducible expression system for mammalian cells. The transactivator is similar to Tet-On Advanced but additional mutations leads to further sensitivity to doxycycline. Moreover, sequence optimization within the PTRE3G promoter further reduces basal expression up to 15 fold compared to 2nd generation systems. To read more about Tet-On 3G, please visit the Tet-On 3G product page.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's Valentines Day, and the living is uneasy for couples squabbling over money. After all, who wants to spend a romantic, if manufactured, holiday fighting over that $200 Kate Spade purse you bought, or that new $250 driver that will upgrade your golf game? Not to be a sour note on Cupid's big day, but studies show that money troubles are the primary driver of divorces in the U.S. these days. According to one study , rising debt is the main reason couples fight -- and split up -- after getting married. In addition couples who fight over money once per week are 30% more likely to divorce than couples who don't. Fortunately for Cupid, and for married couples, there ware good ways to defuse financial stress and keep marriages healthy even when you do talk about money issues. According to Pamela Yellen, a national personal finance expert and New York Times best-selling author, talking turkey about money doesn't have to be the personal financial version of root canal. In fact, good "financial intimacy" can strengthen romantic relationships. "The solution is to sit down with your partner every month and go over your spending and savings plan," Yellen says. "Look at everything you bought during the past month and everything you're thinking of buying soon and ask yourselves, 'Is this really a need or a want?' Awareness is the key to taking control of your spending habits, and asking questions like this one is very powerful." To really pitch in, Yellen has come up with five steps in fueling financial intimacy that can reduce anxiety and enable couples to "save for their dreams."
- Talk before spending without your spouse's knowledge. Yellen advise setting parameters and strongly urges couples to get ahead of any issues. "Even if you don't always agree with your partner's spending habits, you can agree that any purchase over a certain amount, such as $200, will be discussed in advance," she says.
- Go all in on your golden years. Take the long view and discuss your retirement goals regularly -- a once-a-month conversation is fine. "Discuss when you both plan to retire and your plan for getting there," she says. Yellen says that about 40% of couples who responded to a survey she produced have not discussed their retirement plans in depth.
- Be equal partners. Yellen doesn't like financial "imbalance" in a relationship. "One of the biggest traps that leads couples into financial disharmony is when the partner with the biggest income makes the major financial decisions alone," she adds. "The solution: make all decisions about major purchases together."
- Quit making the credit card companies and banks rich. Yellen says couples should generate a plan to alleviate debt and "commit together to building an emergency fund to help you weather life's unexpected costs."
- Have a "Plan B." "What's your back-up plan if things change?" Yellen asks. "What if one partner loses their job? Or what if one partner wants to go back to school? What if one of you gets a job in another part of the country? Talk it over and come up with a plan together."

Submission + - Nokia N9: The World's Most Underrated Smartphone? (lowyat.net)
jrepin writes: "Eighteen months ago, Nokia announced a smartphone unlike any other it has produced before. It was a proper smartphone, one that looked miles away from previous Nokia phones: it was sleek, modern and simple at the same time. The hardware was pretty modern, too; no underpowered processors with severely limited RAM issues to be seen here. And, it runs on an operating system that Nokia had announced dead months before the phone's announcement. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Nokia N9."

NORFOLK, VA - As Old Dominion University prepares to open its doors for the fall semester on Aug. 26, the excitement surrounding ODU's jump to the FBS level of football and entry into Conference USA is seen all over campus. And, thanks to a robust fund raising year in 2012 and in the first half of 2013, Monarch fans are giving at a higher rate and the Old Dominion Athletic Foundation (ODAF) is shattering its membership numbers.
Old Dominion started football in 2009 and has experienced four straight seasons of sellout crowds of over 20,000 fans. The Monarchs competed in the FCS level of NCAA football the first four seasons, but this fall the athletic program joins Conference USA, with football officially becoming an FBS and Conference USA member in 2014.
"The generous private financial support we receive from alumni and friends is absolutely critical for the overall academic and athletic success of our student athletes and teams," remarks ODU Director of Athletics Dr. Wood Selig.
"Our development team lead by Mark Benson, Jena Virga, Casey Cegles, and Kelly Disharoon has worked tirelessly to increase the number of donors and annual giving at a stunning rate. We are fortunate to enjoy such a supportive and generous group of individual and corporate donors."
In 2012, ODAF saw a 19% increase in membership, jumping to 2,833 members from 2,420 the year before and generating $6.98 million. ODAF membership surpassed the 3,000th member mark for the first time in late July. Since the inception of football, annual fund donations have climbed by 44%, from $2.37 million in 2009 to $3.4 million in 2012. Even more revealing about the excitement for the program is that 748 were first year members in 2012.
"As we move to CUSA and FBS football, we have challenged our foundation leadership and our donors to achieve 10% growth annually each of the next five years. Such annual growth is ambitious within any business entity and we are truly thankful for the generosity our ODAF membership exhibits on an annual basis," Selig adds.
ODAF utilizes a priority point system to allocate season tickets and this past spring conducted a seat reallocation of SB Ballard Stadium. Of the 14,954 number of season football tickets sold for 2013, 14,100 are held by ODAF members, and 850 tickets allocated to non-ODAF members.
The result was a 48% growth over the inaugural season, with 2,525 ODAF members selecting seats.
"We are very fortunate and thankful to have such a loyal and growing fan base. The tremendous increase in membership and revenue since we started football has allowed us to make the move to Conference USA." says Mark Benson, Senior Associate Athletic Director.
"I want to thank our loyal fan base for continuing to help us meet the aggressive new goals in our athletic strategic plan, which is critical in positioning ourselves for future success," adds Benson.
For more information on the ODAF, contact 757-683-6963, or go to www.olddominionaf.com.

There are a few things we know for certain about the newest The Bachelor: he's from Venezuela, he's a total hottie, and he's currently searching for the future Mrs. Juan Pablo Galavis. Beyond that, El Bachelor is a mystery, so we took to Twitter to discover more about the first Latino Bachelor.
Check it out: here are the 10 things we learned from Juan Pablo's Twitter:
1. Spanish and English
He speaks excellent Spanish and English:
Don't let the accent fool you -- Juan Pablo is fluent in both languages, and proves it daily over Twitter! He loves to include all of his fans by posting everything in English and español. Sometimes, he admits it can be hard to switch back-and-forth, though. "After TONS of english INTERVIEWS, the only SPANISH one was so HARD... #ForgotMyLanguage #faaaaaaaack," he posted.
2. On Good Terms with his Ex
He's still on good terms with his ex:
Juan Pablo has sweetly referred to his ex-girlfriend Carla Rodriguez as a "Great mom." He even posted of picture of him and Camila's mamá hanging out and scoping out the latest issue of US Weekly together!
3. Adores HIs Daughter
He adores his daughter, Camila:
Okay, so this one is obvious. It's clear from watching the show that Juan Pablo is absolutely crazy about his four-year-old hija, Camila. But, the doting papá took his love one step further...and had her name tattooed onto his arm! He confirmed the ink said "Camila" on his Twitter account.
4. Named After Pope
He's named after Pope John Paul II:
When one Twitter user asked about his name, he answered like any good Catholic boy: "Because of Juan Pablo II." Pope Juan Paul II had been head of the Catholic Church for nearly three years when Juan Pablo was born in 1981.
5. Always Down to DD
He's always down to DD:
Juan Pablo Galavis has mentioned on the show - and on Twitter - that he doesn't drink much. In fact, when Jenny McCarthy tweeted, "I Juan him to get drunk already and show his abs," Juan Pablo replied that he didn't want to disappoint her, but he doesn't drink! That's probably why he had little patience for Victoria's drunken antics on the second episode of The Bachelor.
6. Gluttonous
He's not afraid to live life on the gluttonous side:
How Juan Pablo keeps his sexy figure, we'll never know. He constantly posts picture of (fatty looking) food, and openly admits to having a huge appetite. He wrote, "2 Hot Dogs + 1 Turkey BURGER + 1 LARGE bag of Cheese Doritos with HOT salsa + 1 Diet Coke + 10 Oreos = Im a FATTY and I LOVE it."
7. Loves One Direction
He loves One Direction:
We smiled. We laughed. We swooned. This video of Juan Pablo singing along to "Story of my Life" by One Direction solidified our crush on the Venezuelan.
8. Not Afraid to Be Silly
He's not afraid to be silly:
Juan Pablo and Cameron Diaz -- two of the most attractive people on the planet -- weren't afraid to show their "ugly" side, as they posed for their cameras in full-on duck face. Juan Pablo even complemented Diaz on her pose, "Hers is way BETTER," he wrote.
9. Huge Sports Fan
He's a huge sports fan:
Is this any surprise? Juan Pablo is a former professional soccer player, and now he works as an entertainment and sports consultant. He openly discusses football predictions, basketball games, and more on his Twitter, and even revealed that he's a huge Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors fan!
10. Punny
He's a punny guy:
Journalists everywhere have been having the best time coming up with puns for his name "Juan." But even El Bachelor himself has been getting in on the fun, even posting a calendar welcoming his fans to "Juan-nuary." Ayyyy, Juan Pablo.

There were 92 bookings at the San Joaquin County Jail in the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m. Friday. At that time, there were 1,407 people held at the jail, which has an official capacity of 1,411.
Stolen vehicle arrest: Police arrested Deana Peters, 46, on suspicion of vehicle theft and driving under the influence after the "extremely intoxicated" woman stole a city utility truck parked just outside the police station shortly before 10:30 a.m. Friday, police reported. Another truck followed Peters and stopped her about a block away near El Dorado and East Market streets, police said.
Assault arrest: Two men were arguing over a bicycle about 5:20 p.m. Thursday in the 2300 block of South El Dorado Street when one hit the other in the head with a metal pipe, causing a laceration, officials said. Police arrested Timothy Huggins, 51, on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and violation of parole.
Robbery: A 26-year-old man selling an iPhone through Craigslist was robbed of the phone by his purported buyer about 8 p.m. Thursday in the 600 block of West Flora Street. The robber, who pulled out a gun and took the phone, was last seen going into the apartment complex at the site of the sale. He is described as a black man, 20 to 25 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 100 pounds with a dark-colored beanie and a dark blue Cookie Monster T-shirt.
Shooting: A 56-year-old man told police he was sleeping about 11:20 p.m. Thursday in the 5600 block of Melones Way when he was awakened by gunfire. Police found several shell casings in the street in front of the house, which had been struck several times. A few rounds penetrated the house and struck interior walls. No one was injured, and there was no description of the shooter.
The California Highway Patrol responded to 12 noninjury accidents and two injury accidents in the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m. Friday. CHP officers also recovered three stolen vehicles.
The Stockton Fire Department responded to 106 calls for service in the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m. Friday, including three vehicle accidents, 88 medical calls and one structure fire.

Center Emily Hurley was voted the team's MVP and won first team all South Central Conference honors. Emily also won the team's Miss Windex (rebounding) award. She had 218 rebounds for the year.
The Saints girls basketball team held it's banquet celebrating the 2012-2013 season. It was the first season for Head Coach Adam Schroeder and while it was difficult from a won-loss perspective, the Head Coach said that a season's wins don't tell you anything about the character of the players or how much they improved during the year.
It was a young team this season that will have zero seniors next year. Coach Schroeder said that the experience they gained this year means they will get better next year.
Banquets, however, are about celebrating what the last season was about.
That starts with the awards the seniors collected. Center Emily Hurley was voted the team's MVP and won first team all South Central Conference honors. Emily also won the team's Miss Windex (rebounding) award. She had 218 rebounds for the year.
Emily led the team with a 9.5 rebounds per game average. She had 21 rebounds in the first game the Saints played against New Ulm. That total is the second highest single game total in Saints history.
Lynell Anderson had 26 in a game in 1990. Julia Runge is in third place with a 20 rebound effort in a game last year.
The Best Teammate award went to senior Aryn Eckstrom. Aryn finished her basketball career in fourth place on the Saints free throw percentage list. She made 72 percent of her free throws.
The Miss Defense award went to senior Devon Flohrs. Coach Schroeder also praised the defensive efforts of Michaela Nordby.
The rest of the awards went to underclassmen Freshman Julia Beckius won the Miss Offense award. She was the team leader in scoring with 250 points. Julia was also named Miss Basketball. She also was given a Honorable Mention award on the SCC All Conference team.
The Sixth Woman award went to Brenda Cervantes. The Most Improved player award went to Emily Bottem. Emily was also voted a captain for next year.
As a team, the Saints set a record for averaging the fewest number of fouls in a game with 14.70 a game being the benchmark.
The 338 fouls for the year was also the fewest by a Saints team. Where the team will need to improve next year is in preventing turnovers and shooting percentage. Those numbers were some of the worst in the Saints history.

Pie-eating just one of the highlights of Ledyard Fair tradition
Ledyard - There's something about sitting at the head of the table, taking off your shirt and being announced as the defending pie-eating contest champion that makes people think twice about taking you on.
But Ryan Wade, 19, did have two challengers in the adult round on Saturday at the Ledyard Fair.
Wade won in less than 30 seconds. His method?
"I shove my face in it," he said. "I push all the pudding and whipped cream to the edge of the rim so there's nothing in the middle."
Then, while it may be disgusting, he opens his mouth and sucks in the filling all around the outside circle.
The winner and runner-up of the pie-eating contest - one of many popular traditions of the fair - each received a $25 wristband for unlimited rides, including those spinning ones where you sit in a bowl that spins on a base that spins.
Wade, former captain of the Ledyard High School wrestling team, said he wouldn't get sick.
"I have a strong stomach," he said.
The fair was expected to draw 18,000 to 20,000 people before ending this evening, with one of its favorite events still to come. Rick Maciag, who officiated the bubble-gum blowing contest dressed as a clown and served as referee during the pie-eating contest, was on deck to announce the "Redneck Olympics," scheduled for today.
Olympic events included toilet bowl seat horseshoes, pickle eating, watermelon seed-spitting and hay bale tossing.
Stephanie Frommelt of Norwich said she'd been going to the fair since she was a girl, and her grandfather would bring her to watch horse shows. Now she takes her own children. Her husband volunteers in maintenance for the fair.
"I just like that there are so many traditions," she said of the event. "The clown is one. We watch the tractor pull every year. And you've got to love the kettle corn." Her daughter, Erin, 8, won the bubble gum-blowing contest Saturday.
The fair also offered a children's pet show, a barn of cows, sheep, goats and caged rabbits and guinea pigs.
"I grew up on a farm and I've never seen rabbits that big," said Paul Benoit, of Jewett City.
Vendors sold hats, sunglasses and dreamcatchers. Local groups like the Ledyard Sophomore Class sold tickets for a shot at dunking the high school football and lacrosse coach.
Lori Daugherty, cheer coach for Ledyard High School, and cheerleaders run the pie-eating contest every year. She said adults were the most amusing to watch.
"Pretty much anything goes," she said. "A lot of people take off their shirts or put them on inside out. These people come prepared."
Carlie Smith, 13, of Groton, competed with the 8-14 age group even though she'd already eaten a corn dog, nachos, a caramel apple and shaved ice.
"Hey, a fair only comes once a year," she said.
Britney Mares, 13, of Sterling, won and set a record for the fastest time, finishing in less than 10 seconds.
"I just really like pie," she said.

Wichita Collegiate 53, Augusta 44
Clearwater 53, Rose Hill 43
Wichita Trinity 62, Wellington 31
Winfield 64, Mulvane 60
Wichita Trinity v. Winfield
Wichita Collegiate v. Clearwater
Collegiate's boys basketball team was able to push past Augusta 53-44 to win the opener of the Mulvane sub-state tournament Tuesday night.
The Orioles had a 31-24 midway through the third quarter after Tristan Finch grabbed a rebound and went coast to coast for a layup. A 3-pointer by Chase Winter gave Augusta a 36-34 lead at the end of the quarter.
The Spartans slowly took over in the fourth quarter. Connor Hurst hit a pullup jumper to pull Augusta within one at 43-42, but the Spartans' defense stiffened, not allowing Augusta another basket for nearly 4 minutes.
Collegiate standout Riley Kemmer, who only scored three points in the first half, finished with 14, which included a crucial 3-pointer that was well defended to put Collegiate up 46-42.
The Orioles had several chances to cut into the lead, but they weren't able to hit shots down the stretch.
With the loss, Augusta finishes its season with an 8-12 record.

Katie Wieland got the inning started with a triple to right-center. Alice Miller drove in Wieland with a single to right. Miller also drove in a run in the second with a double to right-center. Kelsey Rose completed the seventh driving in Kelsey Weindruch, who reached base on a fielders choice, with a sacrifice fly to center field for the final run of the ball game.
Becca Girvan (5-1) went the distance in the circle. Girvan allowed one run on four hits, walked two and struck out nine.
The win gives Luther an overall record of 9-2. Whitworth fell to 18-14.

L.A. Clippers – 2-4-3-2-3-4-3-3-2 = 26
Eric Bledsoe is probably worth holding through the trade deadline in case he's set free (Boston would be ideal), but after that, the only thing he'll be good for is Chris Paul insurance. Chauncey Billups finished in a flurry just before the All-Star break and I actually picked him up in a couple leagues, but I seriously doubt he stays as hot as he was prior to the break. Caron Butler is back and will hurt the value of Matt Barnes, and while Barnes is one of those guys who can get hot again at any time. He is no longer a must-start player. The Clippers schedule is pretty brutal in the playoffs and they have two two-game weeks left, including the one that starts on Tuesday. I'm still good with holding DeAndre Jordan, even though he's not exactly having anything resembling a breakout season. Lamar Odom is another guy I'd keep an eye on going forward, but is far from a must-own player right now. Their playoff schedule isn't great, nor are the two two-game weeks. Think about upgrading by trading Chris Paul or Blake Griffin in playoff leagues.
L.A. Lakers – 3-3-4-4-2-4-3-4-1 = 28
The Lakers have been a disaster and Kobe Bryant's confusion about whether he's a dominant scorer or dominant point guard has made his owners a little uneasy. Dwight Howard's shoulder is a concern (at least for me) the rest of the way, while the league is still waiting for whoever kidnapped Steve Nash to return him to L.A. Metta World Peace has been shooting with a blindfold on, while Pau Gasol may or may not be able to return to finish the season. Earl Clark and Antawn Jamison look like must-own players, while Jodie Meeks is a guy to keep a close eye on the rest of the way. The Lakers have four four-game weeks left, but also an annoying two-game week during Week 21, which starts March 18.
Memphis – 4-3-3-4-4-4-4-3-2 = 31
Jerryd Bayless has cooled off but is still worth a look in most leagues, while Tony Allen really turned it on prior to the break. He looks like a really nice pickup right now, especially with the Grizzlies' strong schedule. After the next three weeks, the Grizz have four four-game weeks in a row, which could mean a perfect playoff schedule in your league. Austin Daye is worth watching the rest of the way, but Tayshaun Prince should keep the starting small forward job the rest of the way. He's not exactly a must-own player, averaging 9.6 points, 3.4 boards and 3.2 assists over his last five games, despite shooting a solid 46 percent.
Miami – 4-3-4-4-4-4-3-4-2 = 32
LeBron James' owners, when taking a break from debating whether he's better than Michael Jordan, are getting ready to celebrate as the Heat play four games per in six of the next eight weeks. That makes Mario Chalmers and Ray Allen worth a look in some head-to-head leagues, but as usual, the only must-own players in Miami are Bron, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
Milwaukee – 3-3-4-4-4-3-4-4-2 = 31
Milwaukee has a nice schedule the rest of the way making Brandon Jennings, Monta Ellis, Ersan Ilyasova, Larry Sanders and Samuel Dalembert all must-own players right now. I don't know when the Show is going to be back from his back injury, but he's officially iffy for the upcoming week. Start him at your own risk. Guys worth keeping an eye on are Beno Udrih, who could become must-own if Jennings is traded, Mike Dunleavy and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute.
Minnesota – 3-3-4-4-4-4-4-4-2 = 32
Minnesota's schedule is amazing, as they play four games per in six straight weeks to finish up the season. Ricky Rubio, Luke Ridnour (barring trade), Andrei Kirilenko, Derrick Williams and Nikola Pekovic are all currently must-own players, while Alexey Shved, J.J. Barea and Dante Cunningham could all be worth a look with the great schedule. Feel free to stash Kevin Love, but his return date is still unknown, and he might only be back for the last three weeks of the season, if at all.
New Orleans - 4-3-4-3-3-4-3-4-1 = 29
The Hornets schedule isn't great, nor is it bad. Eric Gordon is a shutdown candidate and Austin Rivers might be worth grabbing if he is shut down. Roger Mason will also be worth a look in that scenario. Al-Farouq Aminu is hot again and might be available in your league if you need boards. Anthony Davis continues to see fewer minutes than Ryan Anderson, but there's still a chance the Hornets will turn him loose as the season winds down. Robin Lopez is an interesting center and was playing very well entering the break, while Greivis Vasquez and Ryan Anderson remain must-owns in New Orleans.
New York - 3-3-4-4-4-4-4-4-2 = 32
The Knicks schedule is fantastic and Carmelo Anthony's owners should do very well in the playoffs. Raymond Felton, J.R. Smith, who is due to heat up, Amare Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler are all must-own players right now. Jason Kidd, Iman Shumpert and Steve Novak are all worth a look given the great schedule, and Chris Copeland could become relevant if Amare goes down at some point.
This week's Waiver Wired will take a look at each team's remaining schedule and the possible free agent pickups that exist for each of them. And at the end of the column, be sure to read the notes about the remaining NBA schedule over the last nine weeks of the season. Depending on your league, trading Kevin Durant for LeBron James could win you a championship, if you can get the other owner to play along. Also keep in mind that ESPN combined Weeks 16 and 17 in most leagues, meaning there are fewer scoring periods in those leagues, and that my "Week 17" is actually just part 2 of their "Week 16."

Games Played for Week 17
4 Games Boston, Brooklyn, Charlotte, Chicago, Detroit, Golden State, Memphis, Miami, New Orleans, Orlando, Phoenix, San Antonio
3 Games Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Indiana, L.A. Lakers, Milwaukee, Minnesota, New York, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, Portland, Sacramento, Toronto, Washington
2 Games L.A. Clippers, Utah
Atlanta – Remaining Weekly Schedule - 3-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-2 = 31 Games
The Hawks have a solid schedule remaining, but the only guys who may be available in your league and worth picking up are Kyle Korver and Devin Harris. Despite coming off the bench, Korver still looks like a great player to own, while I just don't trust Harris. If Josh Smith is actually traded, Anthony Tolliver and Ivan Johnson might be worth a look.
Boston – 4-2-4-3-4-4-4-3-2 = 30
The Celtics remaining schedule is pretty good, but guys like Brandon Bass, Jason Terry, Avery Bradley and Courtney Lee haven't exactly been killing it. Jeff Green, on the other hand, is a guy I'd like to own in most leagues, while Terry looks like the best option out of those guards. Obviously, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce are solid players to own the rest of the way.
Brooklyn – 4-3-3-3-4-3-3-4-2 = 29
The Nets' schedule is pretty awful with just two four-game weeks left after this week's games. Deron Williams' ankle is dinged up and if he misses more time, C.J. Watson will be worth a look. Kris Humphries could be worth a pickup if he's traded into a good situation, while I still think Gerald Wallace is worth holding if he was dropped in your league. Reggie Evans is a solid option for rebounds, but tough to own given his lack of offense. Andray Blatche is worth keeping an eye on, but still isn't worth owning in most leagues.
Charlotte – 4-3-4-3-4-3-4-3-2 = 30
The Bobcats have a nice remaining schedule and Byron Mullens remains a must-own player in all formats. Just beware that if they trade for another power forward, Mullens' minutes could take a hit. Gerald Henderson is a nice pickup if available in your league, while Bismack Biyombo is also worth a look given his strong play of late. Just don't expect much offense out of the big man.
Chicago – 4-4-3-2-4-3-4-4-2 = 30
I have been against owning/holding Derrick Rose all season, and last week's comments about possibly sitting out the entire season do nothing to improve my pessimistic view. Despite an eventual return of underwhelming Kirk Hinrich, Nate Robinson remains a must-own player the rest of the way, while Taj Gibson is worth a serious look, especially with Joakim Noah's foot bothering him so much. Richard Hamilton is playing better these days and Marco Belinelli is healthy again, making Jimmy Butler pretty useless in fantasy.
Cleveland – 3-3-4-3-3-3-4-4-2 = 29
Cleveland's schedule is pretty lame, but Dion Waiters, Alonzo Gee and Tyler Zeller are all guys you should be looking at on the wire. Waiters is a must-own player, while Zeller's inconsistency has been tough to live with. Anderson Varejao is out for the season.
Dallas – 3-4-3-4-4-3-4-3-2 = 30
Darren Collison's value would take a hit if the Mavs trade for a point guard, but is still worth owning across the board for now. The same goes for Shawn Marion, who has looked good after an early mid-season slump, while Vince Carter is also worth a close look as he continues to play well despite being an old man. Elton Brand and Chris Kaman could easily turn it on and get going at any time in the remaining nine weeks, but Kaman has been out with a concussion and Brand hasn't been playing enough to warrant owning in most leagues.
Denver – 3-3-4-3-4-3-3-3-2 = 28
Andre Miller is always worth a look, but inconsistency will be his middle name with Ty Lawson playing at such a high level. Corey Brewer and Wilson Chandler are always worth a look, but will also be inconsistent as long as Danilo Gallinari and Andre Iguodala are healthy, although that wasn't the case in the final games just before the break. I'm guessing Gallo and Iguodala will be ready to go this week. JaVale McGee is another guy always worth a look for his shot blocking, but his minutes and production have been pretty sketchy under George Karl. Kosta Koufos is worth a look as the starting center, while Kenneth Faried is a must-own player. If something happens to Chandler's hip or Brewer goes down, Jordan Hamilton might become relevant at some point.
Detroit – 4-4-3-3-3-3-4-2-2 = 28
Will Bynum, Brandon Knight, Rodney Stuckey, Kyle Singler and Charlie Villanueva are all players who are available in many leagues, and might be worth owning the rest of the way. Detroit's schedule is nothing to write home about though. And out of all the players I listed above, Knight and Villanueva are the two most interesting to me.
Golden State – 4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-2 = 30
The Warriors play four times in each of the next four weeks, and then finish out with 3-game weeks to end the season, meaning they're playoff schedule is weak. Jarrett Jack is playing well enough off the bench to be owned in all leagues, while Harrison Barnes and Carl Landry are worth a look in many. Just don't plan on being able to use any of them in the playoffs with all those three-game weeks. If you can trade Stephen Curry for Carmelo Anthony, it makes sense.
Houston – 3-3-3-3-3-3-4-3-2 = 27
Carlos Delfino, Patrick Patterson and Marcus Morris are always worth a look when healthy, but keep in mind the Rockets' schedule is as bad as it gets with six straight three-game weeks coming, and just one four-game week (Week 23) left on the schedule. I'm not against trading any Rockets not named James Harden for more playoff games, although trading him for Carmelo Anthony could help you win your league. Trading Omer Asik for Chris Bosh, Tyson Chandler or even Emeka Okafor could also end up being a shrewd move.
Indiana – 3-4-3-3-4-4-3-3-2 = 29
Danny Granger should be owned the rest of the way and owners of Paul George are praying that he doesn't slow George's roll once he's back. I'm not too worried about it. D.J. Augustin would become a must-own player if George Hill were to go down, while the return of Granger should end the nice run Lance Stephenson has been on. Tyler Hansbrough is another player who could emerge if one of the Pacers' bigs goes down, but I don't trust him as long as David West and Roy Hibbert are healthy.
Oklahoma City - 3-3-4-4-4-3-3-3-2 = 29
The Thunder's schedule is not a good one for leagues with H2H playoffs, which is why trading Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka is not a bad idea in those leagues. LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler are all good players to target if your league counts games played. Thabo Sefolosha is worth a look in many leagues, but is far too inconsistent to be relied upon in most leagues. Kendrick Perkins has been playing pretty well and might be worth a look if you need a center.
Orlando - 4-4-4-3-3-4-4-2-2 = 30
Orlando has a decent schedule, but that two-game finale isn't appealing. Jameer Nelson, J.J. Redick (if not traded), Arron Afflalo and Nikola Vucevic are all must-own players for now. Moe Harkless, Andrew Nicholson and Al Harrington are all guys to keep a close eye on going forward.
Philadelphia - 3-4-4-3-4-4-3-4-2 = 31
The Sixers have a pretty good playoff schedule and Nick Young is a player I think should be owned in all leagues. Thaddeus Young isn't due back for at least a couple more weeks with a hamstring injury, and Lavoy Allen has been worth using in some leagues, but was really quiet in the week before the break. Spencer Hawes has entered must-own territory, especially since it sounds like Andrew Bynum may not play in a single game this season. Dorell Wright is another guy to keep an eye on down the stretch, but is still sitting on the bench in favor of Young and Evan Turner.
Phoenix - 4-3-3-4-4-3-3-3-2 = 29
The Suns are just a mess, as supposed studs like Goran Dragic and Marcin Gortat are not even must-start players right now. The playoff schedule is terrible and there's not much to like about this team. Michael Beasley, P.J. Tucker, Kendall Marshall, Jared Dudley, Shannon Brown and even Jermaine O'Neal are all worth a look in most leagues, if you can handle their inconsistency and poor schedule. Luis Scola remains a solid player to own in my book, but he has also had his share of problems.
Portland - 3-2-4-3-5-3-4-3-2 = 29
The Blazers still have a five-game week coming up and Damian Lillard, Wesley Matthews, Nicolas Batum (wrist injury), LaMarcus Aldridge and J.J. Hickson (if not traded) are all must-starts in fantasy until further notice. They have the worst bench in the league, which is good news for the starters.
Sacramento - 3-4-4-2-4-3-3-3-2 = 28
Sacramento's schedule isn't good, with a two-game week prior to the playoffs, and then three-game weeks with the money on the line. Isaiah Thomas, Tyreke Evans, Jason Thompson and DeMarcus Cousins are still must-own, while Marcus Thornton, John Salmons and Francisco Garcia are all worth keeping an eye on.
San Antonio - 4-3-2-4-3-3-4-3-2 = 28
Tony Parker, Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green all look like must-starts, but I have some pretty serious concerns about how much Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili will play down the stretch. I have no qualms about trading either player for someone who is healthy and guaranteed to play every night. Gary Neal, Stephen Jackson and Boris Diaw are all worth keeping an eye on, while Tiago Splitter still looks like a solid fantasy center to me. But as you can see above, their playoff schedule isn't looking all that great.
Toronto - 3-4-4-3-3-3-4-3-2 = 29
Not a great playoff schedule for the Raptors, but Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, Rudy Gay, Amir Johnson and Jonas Valanciunas are all quality plays right now, despite some inconsistency from Valanciunas. Slam Dunk champion Terrence Ross, Alan Anderson and Andrea Bargnani are all worth keeping a close eye on, and Bargnani could break out if he's dealt out of Toronto.
Utah - 2-3-4-3-4-4-4-2-2 = 28
The Jazz have two games in the last week of many playoff leagues, but do go 4-4-4 prior to that. Mo Williams might be worth stashing as it sounds like he could return sooner than later from a thumb injury, while Randy Foye, Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson look like must-own players right now. And Derrick Favors should be held in all leagues until we see what happens at the trade deadline. Enes Kanter is another guy who might be worth stashing if the Jazz trade a big man or two. Gordon Hayward has been out for a few weeks with a shoulder injury, but sounds like he could be nearing a return. Hold and start him at your own risk. Alec Burks has also shown some flashes of brilliance, so keep a close eye on him as well.
Washington – 3-4-3-4-4-4-4-3-2 = 31
The Wizards are looking good for the playoffs, making John Wall, Bradley Beal, Nene and Emeka Okafor all strong players to hold. Jordan Crawford, Martell Webster, Trevor Ariza and Kevin Seraphin are all worth keeping an eye on and could be relevant come playoff time.
Games Played Notes
There are only nine weeks left in the NBA season, with the final week being a short one, when teams play just once or twice.
The Timberwolves and Knicks lead the way with 32 games the rest of the way, while the Hawks, Grizzlies, Bucks, Sixers and Wizards all have 31 games left on the season.
The Clippers have the fewest remaining games with 26, while the Rockets have 27 left, and the Nuggets, Pistons, Lakers, Kings, Spurs and Jazz have 28 games left.
The Blazers have 29 games remaining and are the only team that still has a five-game week on the schedule. The Hawks, Celtics, Bulls, Pistons, Clippers (2), Lakers, Magic, Blazers, Kings, Spurs and Jazz (2) all have two-game week left, outside of the final Week 25. The Rockets have three-game weeks for the next six straight.
The Hawks, Celtics, Grizzlies, Heat, Bucks, Timberwolves, Knicks and Wizards appear to have the best playoff schedules, while the Nuggets, Pistons, Warriors, Rockets, Clippers, Thunder, Magic, Suns, Kings, Spurs and Raptors all appear to have the worst playoff schedules around. Trading Kevin Durant to get LeBron James, or Stephen Curry for Carmelo Anthony could end up really working out in your favor in H2H playoff leagues.
Take a look at your league's playoff schedule if you play head-to-head, and try to make moves that will give you the maximum number of games played throughout your league's playoffs.
The Daily Dose will return on Tuesday morning after the All-Star break.

Bleacher Report
In what has become an annual tradition throughout his presidency, President Barack Obama revealed his bracket for the 2014 NCAA tournament in an ESPN SportsCenter segment entitled "Barack-etology" on Wednesday morning.
Although the SportsCenter special focused largely on President Obama's picks from the Sweet 16 on, his entire bracket can be viewed below:
The president is well-known for his love of basketball, as he played the sport in high school and has organized some high-profile pickup games at the White House.
Because of that, it is only natural that President Obama fills out a bracket just like millions of other Americans do on a yearly basis. As is often the case when it comes to predicting the chaos of March Madness, the president's knowledge doesn't always lead to great results.
According to ESPN.com, the president has picked the correct national champion just once. That came back in 2009 when he selected the North Carolina Tar Heels.

This weekend was one for leveling various alts. I didn't want to bother farming or raiding on my mage, I wasn't especially in the mood to kill people (PvP) either for some odd reason, so I just focused on the alts. First up on that list was my little druid, Hotstuffbaby who was initially created as a 19 Twink who I then decided to level as a 29 Twink, and then throwing that idea out the window as well, have decided to level to 80 as my healer on my main server.
Lucky for me there are a few other people in our guild right now that are leveling alts as well, so we had four people ready and willing to group for randoms with a 5th that we were sure would join us once she woke up (sorry Cat, had to mention that part too).
While in a group of four we were missing our tank. Luckily all four of us were able to "tank" in some form or fashion (Warrior, Warlock Pet, Hunter Pet, Druid) if the tank we got sucked, so we queued up anyway. My evaluation of low level dungeons in the new LFG is that generally speaking the healers are usually good though often the most impatient of the bunch, DPS are usually the most annoying with no knowledge of threat management or playing some odd spec that puts them at half the tank's DPS, and tanks are either unbelievably good or suck about as much as humanly possible.
Tanks are the primary example here in this post, two tanks that absolutely failed followed by a third that had some great threat skills and allowed our DPS to go all out and still have no problem. I am going to list names and servers here because anytime I post someone that failed at something, I took the time to try to help them in game first. If they make some effort to improve, then they get left off of the blog. If they do nothing to correct the situation, then maybe they should have thought about that before being a moron in the presence of a blogger.
Example Time
Kremul, Madoran-US (A)
The first fail tank was a Warrior named "Kremul the Clothy". I thought I got a screenshot from when I had moused over his chest piece, but I didn't. So in case you can't tell from the picture, he was wearing Shimmering Silk Robes. He was also wearing +Intellect rings, grey pants and grey shoulders, but those can be somewhat excused if we assume he just hasn't had any good drops. The robe though? I can't get passed that one. He got kicked from the group and then we just 4-manned the dungeon.
Arzoft, Bloodhoof-US (A)
Right after we were done with the fail warrior we got in a group with this druid whose idea of tanking was to cast Starfire on the mob and then attack him in caster form with his staff. After that first pull I said in party, "Arz, you did notice you're the tank for this run, right?" He then shifted into Cat form, cast Dash, and ran down the hall to agro ever mob and then bring them back to us. I had already had enough fail tanking from Kremul so I told everyone in vent to just hold off and let the stupid cat die and then we finished off the pack. You can look at the chat log in the picture here to see the level of Arz's intelligence. He typed to us about 20 times in that "language" of his before we managed to vote kick him after his timer was done. I tried to speak his language of random character strings, but I don't think we made any progress.
Gingerdread, Stormrage-US (A)
We didn't want to have our Fury Warrior tank SM for us though, so we requeued and found ourselves a Dwarf Warrior. When he joined I took a look at his spec to get an idea of what to expect and I saw a combination of Arms and Prot. My initial reaction was a facepalm, no lie, but I'm willing to give anybody a shot at anything at least once, so on we went. This guy was generating crazy amounts of aggro, allowing all of our DPS to go all out without any worries. If someone did steal threat from him, he used his taunts and got it back. Ginger is easily the best Warrior tank I've seen outside of Northrend.
Gotuhunter, Trollbane-US (A)
We'll break away from tanking now and go back to another example of failure. I hate to leave you on a bad note, but this one is worthy of being mentioned as well. It's a level 79 Hunter that decided he just had to roll need on a cloak that dropped. It's a tanking cloak as you might notice from the Armor, Strength, Stamina, and Defense bonuses on it, or from the fact that both plate wearers in the group rolled Need on it (I got picked for DPS in this one, but I'm main spec Frost tank). His reason for rolling need on it was very impressive, "lot bette then the won i got and it still has strenght".
The cloak wasn't a huge upgrade, as you can see from my RatingsBuster addon, but did I mention that I'm 3 points away from being Defense capped? Screw you too, Gotuhunter.

PHILADELPHIA — LeSean McCoy remembers how it felt to lug around the weight of a new playbook, a new job, a new responsibility. He remembers, too, how it felt to have older teammates to help with that heavy lifting.
He's only in his fourth year as an Eagle, but that's how fast careers come and then peak in his profession. So that's why McCoy knows that Sunday, when the Eagles will play in Washington, he will be entrusted to carry more than the ball. He will be entrusted, in many ways, to carry a quarterback.
Though McCoy shared Thursday that the Eagles will trust a rookie quarterback with a full-service load of plays and responsibilities, there were enough signals around the NovaCare Complex, too, that Nick Foles will have a streamlined workload when he makes his first NFL start in place of Michael Vick, who is recovering from a concussion.
That means the veterans — and McCoy was quick to volunteer — will be asked to make more plays, make them more responsibly, and make Foles' afternoon as stress-free as possible.
"The only thing we are thinking about is getting a win," McCoy was saying, during a pause in the Birds' preparations. "But as an offense, I will do the best of my ability to try to help him make out. I will try to make some more big plays. And if we have more big-time players, it takes some of the heat off of him. I am really anxious to see how he plays. I am just hopeful that he plays well."
Foles played a little more than half of the Birds' most recent game, a 38-23 loss to the visiting Dallas Cowboys. He made some interesting efforts and some infuriating mistakes. Mostly, though, he made it through the mini-audition, allowing the coaches and his teammates to trust him in another division game, with the season itself teetering.
The question, though, is whether his supervisors will trust him with the full playbook, or just with the paperback version.
"The good thing is, the coaches are not taking it easy on him," McCoy said. "They are giving him a nice amount. So, he'll be fine."
Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, however, acknowledged the likelihood of a streamlined game plan.
"That's part of the plan," he said. "As far as volume, we've talked several times already. I know he knows — and the rest of the football team knows — that there are certain things he can do very, very well. We will play to what we think and what he thinks his strengths are."
If that's accurate, and if the Eagles turn just a touch more basic behind the rookie quarterback, that suggests a deeper commitment to the running game. There are two reasons. One, it would lessen the amount of creativity demanded from an inexperienced quarterback. Two, it would keep the clock whirling, shortening the rookie's work day.
Thus, McCoy is prepared to be busy — which, at least by a quick assessment of the statistics, could be to the Eagles' advantage. Three times this season, McCoy has had 20 or more carries … and all three times, the Birds have won. The other six times? Not so much.
"It means that we're in four-minute at the end of the game and he gets a few more carries," Mornhinweg said. "It's just that simple. I think LeSean is eighth in carries and fourth in total touches in the league. I don't think there is a problem there. Every game is different, and you have to dig into every game. Usually the ball-carriers get a few more carries when you're ahead and in four-minute offense near the end of the game."
The game can turn in any direction Sunday, but McCoy knows it will turn that way at a pace that most rookies cannot imagine.
"In practice, everything is so slow," McCoy said. "Everything is so easy to identify, the blitzes and things that are sent out, or the calls that need to be made. But when the bullets are flying and guys are running around and they are yelling at you, it is so much faster. It is so much different from practice.
"That's the hardest thing. Sometimes, that ball that you throw in practice may be good for practice, but in the game might not be on time. It might not be fast enough or strong enough. It's just the little things that matter. The game speed is so much faster. I think that once he gets his first couple of plays, he will be fine. He had a little action in the last game. So he should be ready."
Just the same, he will need some help.
"He's young," McCoy said. "But some things you can't teach are heart and leadership. And I think he has both of those things. Saying that, I think he will be fine in this game and in the future."
That's when it will be his turn to do for another rookie what his teammates plan to do for him Sunday.

Is Your Profile Too Dirty?
So, I'm sure you've all seen this type of profile before. It starts off innocently enough:
Hi, I'm a 35-year-old single man with a car and a stable job.
Ok, sounds good so far.
I just got out of a long relationship, so I'm only looking for NSA right now, nothing serious.
Cool, good to know that upfront.
If we meet and click, I'll take you back to my place where I will slowly run my tongue over your quivering nipples, guiding my hands downward to your trembling love mound while I deeply probe your dripping pink lips with my huge, throbbing....
WHOA! WHOA! Back up there a second, Lothario! Am I reading your "About Me" or an excerpt from Penthouse Letters?
If your profile reads like this, and you're not having any luck, you might want to consider easing up on the dirty talk first thing out of the gate. We certainly appreciate your enthusiasm, but you might be shooting yourself in the foot by coming on too strong, so to speak.
Yes, this is an adult site, and we speak freely on adult matters here: frank and open talk about sexuality is a given.
However, many members have stated that explicit sex talk in a profile is a big turn off for them. They feel that it's putting the cart before the horse, so to speak.
There is absolutely a place for dirty talk here on Adult FriendFinder ‒ but the introductory paragraph on your profile may not be it.
I've always encouraged members here to think of their interactions as an online version of real life: in other words, if you approached a woman in real life, the first words out of your mouth wouldn't be "if want to go snorkeling in your lady love juices, baby!"
(And if it was, well, you'd probably wind up wearing her drink.)
Same goes for interactions here: you'll want to get the basics out of the way to establish compatibility before you dive straight into the dirty talk.
This doesn't mean you have to have a squeaky clean profile that discusses your love of knitting quilts and hand-carving wooden sculptures of blue birds; you can be fun, racy, flirty and naughty without being as explicit as the script of a porn.
Once you've had a chance to interact with you potential partner(s) through email, and IMs, then you can break out the dirty talk if you think it's something he/she/they will appreciate. Or better yet, post your fantasies as a blog, or share them with one of our erotic writing groups.
Point is, don't go busting down the door first thing with the super nasty talk; although some may like it, many don't, and you can always introduce it a bit farther down the line once you've established an initial connection.
Standard disclaimer: this is simply me offering my observations based on my many interactions with members over the years. As always, your opinion and experiences may differ; so I encourage you to try different approaches to see what works best for you!

I looked at the page today and thought,Gee,a Danica photo(again). Interesting considering i have read many a spirited discussion here about "disproportional coverage" of all drivers involved. Luckily she has plenty of photos to choose from so a repeat in the next 30 odd weeks is unlikely. But anyway, back to the action on the track

Danica mania kind of feeds on iteself. This blog is a case in point. It puts up a big Danica photo to make a point about how the television media is Danica-saturated (a great point)... but the irony is that it instead feeds the Danica mania by becoming one more Nascar outlet where you click and see her first. Either way, she is the center of attention and conversation. And laughing all the way to the bank. Tony teaches her how to race, and Dale teaches her how to sell gear. What a team.

Haven't commented for a, (long), while. The comments so far have drawn me out of my "cave".
I didn't see the subtleness in the photo until it was pointed out. I had just ignored it to read the post. However, now that I understand the intent, I like the purpose of it.
What has caught my attention here is the intensity of the comments. Many Planeteers seem to to be taking all this personally. Of course, that is one thing that makes this blog fun to read. I am really looking forward to the comments after the Knaus/Johnson appeal ruling. I expect it will receive extensive TV coverage, so something will probably end up being posted about it here.
I hope BSPN does a better job of showing the race today. Vegas can put on a good race, even without the Drama Queen.

If trackside is gaining viewers they certainly are not race fans. Just cannot imagine who would like watching such stupid things. They have also ruined NASCAR performance.
They can do what they want with the shows but please STOP saying they are about NASCAR.

I love the new trackside. Half an hour is just right. Get to know a littl more about one driver on each weekend show and have some fun doing it. To each his own I guess. I see John that some of the negativity that is creeping in to your blog is even being aimed at you, namely your DP picture.

batchief, everyone has the right to their opinion.
To try to paint a person as being negative when they are just expressing how they feel on one topic is maybe a little off-base.
Bots are automated programs that contain spam messages and links to sites for porn, ED products and prescription drug outlets. They search for blogs without verification words and post. Once they find one, they will load it up.
It is not uncommon for me to have 50 bot posts waiting for me in the morning to delete through moderation. Big hassle.

JD has a lot more patience then I have. I'm no fan of Danica's, but I didn't react one way or another at her pic. This weekend is her best shot this season to do well. Vegas is a mile wide oval where all you have to do in a good car is to stab it and steer. PIR was more of a drivers track and she finnished 3 laps down. I tried to listen to Friday's TV coverage, but couldn't do it.....The same old nonsense from DW, Larry and Mike. They repeat the same war stories, trivia and silliness every week and year after year. They'll always comment on Carl Edward's white gloves and of course, when we get back to the old tracks, we'll hear Mike Joy tell us for the hundreth time about the shape of the track dictated by someone's minnow pond. What Nascar TV needs is some new blood with some new perspectives and technical/driving experience that doesn't go back 35 years. I'd give Evernham, Craven, LaJoie and others a chance. It would be like a breath of fresh air compared to the gang on TV now.

Sorry John, but I offer my opinion and I am offbase? You post a Danica picture to highlight your blog for today and some say you are on the Danica bandwagon when in fact it is just a simple example of how she is a big part of this weekend and will be for a while to come whenever she is on the race ticket. That is not offbase?

sorry JD I missed your point with the pic of danica - i didn't recognize the back of stewart's head and i doubt that little miss can't be wrong looks to anyone but herself & whoever is holding the bag of cash for guidance.
sounds like espn will be busy w b-ball tourney's, too, so while this may be dp's track to shine, will nascar fans get to see the race?

The Official Xbox Magazine notes a photo on The Gearbox Software Forums of a Wal-Mart ad promoting new Bug Hunt DLC for Aliens: Colonial Marines, calling this a "$14.99 value," though not indicating what, if anything this will actually cost. It says this is due via download on March 19th, and offers the following description: "Team up with your friends to take on waves of increasingly difficult enemies in an all new game mode."

On Dec. 16, the Broncos ravaged the Ravens 34-17 in Baltimore. That regular-season meeting was even more lopsided than the final score suggests. The Ravens trailed 31-3 before tacking on two cosmetic touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
It's not often that Baltimore's proud franchise gets dominated -- if not embarrassed -- on its home turf. Ravens fans began filing toward the exits in the third quarter, and at least half the seats at M&T Bank Stadium had emptied before game's end.
"Definitely, (the Ravens) have a lot to prove, but we still have a lot to prove," Broncos cornerback Chris Harris said Monday.
"We know the playoffs are where you make your name. Our goal is to win a Super Bowl, and they're standing in the way of our goal."
Ultimately, the Ravens won the AFC North (10-6) then ousted Indianapolis 24-9 Sunday in the wild-card round. But a month ago against the Broncos, Baltimore couldn't get much of anything going. The Ravens managed only 12 first downs (compared to 21 for Denver) and converted only one-of-12 third downs.
"Of course, they're going to be amped up this weekend," Broncos linebacker Wesley Woodyard said of the Ravens. "But it's a playoff game, and everybody's emotions are going to be running high.
One difference in this meeting will be the presence of Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who has announced his retirement after 17 years and hopes to extend his final season as long as possible. Lewis tore his right triceps Oct. 14 cq against Dallas and finally returned to the lineup Sunday in the playoff victory over the Colts.
He has been called by teammates, coaches and even opponents one of the game's most effective leaders. The impact of an emotional leader such as Lewis cannot be overvalued, Broncos coach John Fox said Monday.
"There are people on teams that raise all boats, raise all levels," Fox said. "They can inspire. He does that."
Lewis, 37, has lost some speed and sometimes struggles in space these days. But he recorded a team-best 13 tackles Sunday despite wearing a brace on his right arm.
"This is a game of passion, emotion and enthusiasm," said Broncos linebacker Keith Brooking, a 15-year veteran. "A lot plays into that. If you're a team that goes into a game with just that (emotion) and doesn't run real deep in your preparation and attention to detail, that all fades quickly once toe meets leather.
"But when you're a player of Ray Lewis' magnitude, his leadership doesn't start on game day. His leadership starts throughout the course of the week. That runs deep through their team. They're a reflection of that."
While the decisive loss to Denver in December might still stick in the craw of Ravens players, the other side says it also intends to make amends. After the game, several Broncos defensive players lamented allowing Baltimore tight end Dennis Pita to catch touchdown passes of 31 and 61 yards in the fourth quarter.
"We gave up some big plays, so we're looking to (avenge) ourselves too, just like they are," the Broncos' Woodyard said. "Both teams are going to come ready to play."
