Together, they make a fine team, accompanied by frequent banter and modern-day dialog which makes them both interesting characters.... Newman and Redford both sock over their respective roles with a humanness seldom attached to outlaw characters and Miss Ross, who shares star billing, is excellent as the understanding girl friend who refuses to remain with them in Bolivia to see them killed."Variety

DJIBOUTI (Tier 2 Watch List)
Djibouti is a transit, source, and destination country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. Large numbers of voluntary and undocumented economic migrants from Ethiopia, Somalia, and Eritrea – including men, women, and children – pass through Djibouti en route to Yemen and other locations in the Middle East; an unknown number of these migrants are subjected to conditions of forced labor and sex trafficking upon arrival in these destinations. Within Djibouti, this large migrant population, which includes foreign street children, is vulnerable to various forms of exploitation, including human trafficking. A small number of women and girls may fall victim to domestic servitude or forced prostitution after reaching Djibouti City, the Ethiopia-Djibouti trucking corridor, or Obock – the preferred crossing point into Yemen. Djibouti's older street children reportedly act, at times, as pimps for younger children. A small number of girls from impoverished Djiboutian families may be coerced into prostitution by family members or other individuals. Members of foreign militaries stationed in Djibouti contribute to the demand for women and girls in prostitution, including trafficking victims. Street children, including Djiboutian children, are forced by their parents or other adult relatives to beg as an additional source of family income; children may also be recruited from foreign countries for begging in Djibouti. Children are also vulnerable to forced labor as domestic servants and coerced to commit crimes, such as theft, often by trafficking networks who force the children to use drugs. The Polish government identified one Djiboutian trafficking victim in 2011.
The Government of Djibouti does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so. Despite its conviction of 20 smugglers, and provision of basic healthcare to undocumented migrants – demonstrating the government's continued focus on the smuggling problem that plagues the country and its ability to respond to transnational crime – the government did not demonstrate evidence of increasing efforts to address human trafficking during the year; therefore, Djibouti is placed on Tier 2 Watch List. Specifically, the government did not take steps to prosecute traffickers or develop procedures for the identification of trafficking victims and their referral to available services. Police continued monitoring bars for child prostitution; however, no investigations, prosecutions, or convictions of pimps or clients were reported and there is no evidence that children in prostitution were referred to care. The government did not improve implementation of the protection or prevention components of its anti-trafficking law, even within the confines of its limited resources and capacity.
Recommendations for Djibouti: In implementing Law 210, identifying victims, and combatting trafficking generally, ensure use of a broad definition of trafficking in persons, consistent with the 2000 UN TIP Protocol that does not rely on evidence of movement, but rather on exploitation of the victim; continue to work with judges, prosecutors, and police to clarify the difference between cases of human trafficking and alien smuggling; enforce the anti-trafficking statute through investigation and prosecution of trafficking offenders, especially those responsible for child prostitution, domestic servitude, or other forced labor offenses and provide data on convictions and sentences of trafficking offenders; institute a module on human trafficking as a standard part of the mandatory training program for new police and border guards; establish policies and procedures for government officials – including health and social welfare officers – to identify proactively and interview potential trafficking victims and transfer them to care; expand mechanisms for providing protective services to victims, possibly through the forging of partnerships with NGOs or international organizations; form partnerships with local religious leaders, encouraging them to educate their congregations about trafficking; and launch a nationwide anti-trafficking awareness campaign.
The government made minimal efforts to enforce its laws against human trafficking during the reporting period. In the previous reporting period the government named a deputy prosecutor as a focal point for all human trafficking prosecutions; however, the government did not prosecute or convict any trafficking offenders in 2011. Djibouti's Law 210, "Regarding the Fight Against Human Trafficking," enacted in December 2007, prohibits both forced labor and sex trafficking. It also provides for the protection of victims regardless of ethnicity, gender, or nationality, and prescribes penalties of up to two to five years' imprisonment, penalties are sufficiently stringent. However, these penalties are not commensurate with those prescribed for other serious crimes, such as rape. Djiboutian authorities failed to demonstrate efforts to investigate or punish domestic servitude, other forced labor, or sex trafficking offenses. The government did not provide anti-trafficking training to officials during the year.
The government demonstrated decreased efforts to protect victims of trafficking during the reporting period and did not provide shelter or services directly to victims of trafficking. Unlike in 2010, the government did not report the rescue of any children from prostitution or their referral to care in 2011. With few resources itself and a small pool of underfunded NGO partners, the government had little means with which to address the needs of trafficking victims during the year. During 2011, IOM identified and repatriated 17 Ethiopian, Somali, and Eritrean trafficking victims in Djibouti, including four children and 12 adults. The Ministry of Health in Obock provided care to African migrants, including food and emergency outpatient care for dehydration, pregnancy, or injuries received while traveling. The Coast Guard provided water and bread to migrants aboard smuggling vessels intercepted at sea and referred them to hospital care if needed. Djiboutian authorities continued to lack a formal system to proactively identify victims of trafficking among high-risk populations, such as undocumented immigrants and those arrested for prostitution. The government regularly deported undocumented foreigners and did not screen for indicators of human trafficking. Additionally, the government detained street children, including potential trafficking victims, following sweeps to clear the streets in advance of holidays or national events. Although victims of trafficking were permitted to file civil suits against their traffickers, there did not appear to be encouragement from the government for victims to assist in criminal investigations of their traffickers. Foreign victims of trafficking are not offered legal alternatives to removal to countries in which they may face hardship or retribution.
The government made modest efforts to prevent trafficking during the year. It remains unclear whether the government's working group on trafficking, led by the Ministry of Justice, met during 2011 or finalized the national anti-trafficking action plan. The government continued its partnership with IOM to inform migrants of the potential dangers of irregular migration through billboard, radio, and television campaigns. The Ministry of Justice, in partnership with IOM, created and distributed a French-language pamphlet to raise awareness of trafficking in persons among the Djiboutian population. In January 2012, the Governments of Djibouti and Ethiopia signed an "Agreement to Combat Illegal Immigration and Human Trafficking" and a Memorandum of Understanding on labor exchange that establish legal recognition of and access to labor protection for undocumented Ethiopians residing in Djibouti. In fall 2011, the government created the Djiboutian Coast Guard, which interdicted 20 overloaded boats of Ethiopians and Somalis making the water crossing to Yemen during the year. The government did not take any known measures to reduce the demand for commercial sex acts or forced labor; the Ministry of Labor did not conduct any child labor inspections in 2011.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
personal name Auger, which is itself derived from the Old German name Adalgarius, which means noble spear. Patronymic surnames, which are a type of hereditary surname, arose out of the vernacular and religious given name traditions. The vernacular or regional naming tradition is the oldest and most pervasive type of patronymic surname. According to this custom, names were originally composed of vocabulary elements from the local language. Vernacular names that were derived from ancient Germanic personal names have cognates in most European languages. For example, the court of Charlemagne (742-814) was Christian and Latin-speaking, but the Frankish dialect of Old German was commonly used for personal names. Vernacular names were widespread throughout Normandy. Accordingly, many typical English and French names are in fact, originally of Germanic origin and often have cognates in other European countries.

SARASOTA, Fla. - The American Civil Liberties Union and others say authorities are trying to harass the homeless into leaving a Florida coastal city best known for its beautiful beaches nearby.
They contend that newer, wealthy residents are buying expensive downtown Sarasota condos so they can live an urban lifestyle -- but don't want the problems associated with a city.
Recently, the ACLU has uncovered a surveillance video showing an officer throwing a homeless man against a metal grate and received public records that show police sent messages to each other about "bum hunting."
Police Chief Bernadette DiPino says his department is conducting an internal investigation.
A task force of city officials and homeless advocates was recently formed to address the situation.

New tech helps clubs spot talent
Bodley: Nats must be patient
All Jenkins did that day for Kennesaw State was use 93 pitches to fashion a shutout in a win over the University of South Carolina Upstate. Impressed, Lalonde had members of Toronto's front office monitor the rest of Jenkins' starts. The pitcher then stretched a shutout streak to 41 innings with the Jays' eyes in the stands and didn't lose another game.
On Tuesday night, the Blue Jays waited patiently to see if Jenkins would still be available with the 20th overall pick in this year's First-Year Player Draft. He was still on the board when Toronto's first selection came up, and the club jumped at the opportunity to grab the pitcher off the pile of talented collegiate arms.
"It was kind of a no-brainer for us," Lalonde said. "We really felt good about taking him. He's someone we've done the work on. We've scouted him hard all year and we believe in him. He was really the guy that we had targeted."
Jenkins was one of two college arms the Blue Jays added to open their part in this year's Draft. Toronto also selected University of Kentucky left-hander James Paxton with the 37th overall pick in Compensation Round A. The Jays received the sandwich pick after pitcher A.J. Burnett -- a Type-A free agent over the winter -- signed with the Yankees.
Selecting Jenkins continued a club trend of adding college arms, but grabbing Paxton in the compensatory round and left-hander Jake Eliopoulos in the second round strayed from organizational philosophies.
Taking Paxton -- a native of Ladner, British Columbia -- went against Toronto's habit of avoiding clients of agent Scott Boras. Drafting Eliopoulos (Newmarket, Ontario) out of Sacred Heart Catholic High School was a change of course for a team that has typically steered clear of high school pitchers in the early rounds of the Draft.
One change that likely played a role in Toronto selecting Paxton is Jays interim president Paul Beeston's willingness to consider exceeding the recommended signing bonus for a particular slot.
"The big thing is just that Paul's a supporter," Lalonde said prior to the Draft. "We can come to him with scenarios and different chains of events that could happen, where maybe a player we didn't expect to get there does, and if it is an exceptional case, maybe we can try and fight the fight.
"At the end of the day, it's about accumulating the most talent you can. So, we always want to be diligent in finding out what it takes to sign players, and we want to be responsible. But, it's nice to know that in the right circumstance, maybe you could do something a little bit out of the ordinary."
Paxton fits that description. Jenkins was a more predictable selection.
Since general manager J.P. Ricciardi took over in 2002, the Blue Jays have focused many of their early round Draft selections on collegiate arms, adding pitchers who hopefully have the ability to ascend the organizational ladder swiftly. Jenkins is the third college pitcher selected with the Jays' top pick in the eight Drafts overseen by Ricciardi and his staff.
In 13 starts this past season, the 21-year-old Jenkins went 8-1 with a 2.54 ERA and five complete games, including a pair of shutouts. Over 92 innings, the 6-foot-4, 235-pound righty compiled 98 strikeouts and only 15 walks en route to taking home the Atlantic Sun Pitcher of the Year award. Besides the shutout streak, Jenkins also enjoyed one stretch of 24 2/3 innings without issuing a walk.
"I command the ball pretty well," said Jenkins, who also said he had a feeling he might wind up with the Blue Jays. "I don't like to walk a lot of people, so I go straight after the hitters and keep coming at them."
If Jenkins' personal scouting report sounds similar to the style of Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay, that might not be accidental. Halladay is one reason why Jenkins is really excited to join Toronto, putting an accounting degree on hold in order to sign quickly with the club.
"It's honestly a dream come true," Jenkins said. "It's even better because I've grown up watching Halladay for a while now. So, to even hope to get the opportunity to play beside him is another dream come true."
One criticism that Jenkins has faced is the fact that he pitched in the Atlantic Sun Conference, as opposed to pitching in a more competitive region. Lalonde said that was discussed internally, but the Blue Jays believe Jenkins' stuff would have been just as impressive in other conferences.
"Stuff is stuff, whether you're pitching in the Southeast Conference or Sunday night slow pitch," Lalonde said. "I think it's a little tougher if you're evaluating a hitter out of that conference. ... We really believe in Chad's stuff. We believe in his makeup. The level of competition, while it was discussed, it really was not a major concern."
Lalonde said that Jenkins pitches "comfortably" in the 90-94-mph range with his fastball and the big right-hander has good life on his two-seam sinker. Jenkins also features a tough slider, which registers between 83-85 mph and is considered his best out pitch. The righty also throws a straight changeup that can hit around 82-85 mph.
"He's a big, physical right-hander -- a durable body," Lalonde said. "He sinks the ball well, should get a lot of ground balls in pro ball. Power stuff. Its a power body with power stuff. The beautiful thing is it's also plus command. He really can command his fastball to both sides of the plate, and I think that gives him a leg up over a lot of other guys that throw hard and maybe are a little more erratic with their command."
Jenkins is the first pitcher taken in the first round by the Blue Jays since the club selected left-hander Ricky Romero (Cal State-Fullerton) with the sixth overall pick in the 2005 Draft. One year earlier, Toronto used the 16th overall pick on lefty David Purcey (Okalahoma). Both Romero and Purcey opened this season in Toronto's rotation.
It's likely that Jenkins will initially report to short-season Class A Auburn. As for how long it might take the right-hander to work his way up to The Show, Lalonde said that is impossible to forecast. If everything goes according to plan, Jenkins could rise fast, though.
"I think Chad Jenkins will tell us how far away he is," Lalonde said. "If it all comes together, I could see him moving fairly quickly, but you never like to place timetables or get expectations up beyond fair levels. I just want him to go out, work hard and he'll tell us when he's ready to get here."
Day 1 Draft results:
Round 1 (20th): Jenkins, RHP, Kennesaw State:
Jenkins provides a rare combination of power and finesse. The hard-throwing right-hander uses four-seam and sinking two-seam fastballs, mixing in a sharp slider and a changeup. He is a strike-thrower who works both sides of the plate well and should be able to produce ground balls at a good rate.
Comp. Round A (37th): Paxton, LHP, Kentucky:
Through 13 starts with Kentucky in 2009, the 20-year-old Paxton had piled up 115 strikeouts against 20 walks over 78 1/3 innings. The Canadian left-hander was 5-3 with a 5.86 ERA over that span. Being a Boras client, signability could be a potential stumbling block for the Blue Jays.
Round 2 (68th): Eliopoulos, LHP, Sacred Heart Catholic HS:
Toronto is taking a chance on a high school arm in Eliopoulos, who is considered the top Canadian pitcher from the 2009 graduating class. The slim left-hander (6-foot-3, 178 pounds) features a fastball that can touch the 88-91 mph on the radar gun and also has a curveball and changeup.
Round 3 (99th): Jake Barrett, RHP, Desert Ridge (Ariz.) HS:
Barrett, who will turn 18 in July, has a unique three-pitch repertoire for a high school pitcher. The hard-throwing right-hander features a fastball that can reach 94 mph as well as a hard curveball and a splitter. The 6-foot-4, 235-pound Barrett was a member of the USA National 18-and-under squad.
Round 3 (104th): Jacob Marisnick, OF, Riverside Poly (Calif.) HS:
The 18-year-old Marisnick (6-foot-3, 185 pounds) projects to be a corner outfielder. He opened the 2009 season hitting .408 with four home runs, 23 RBIs and 21 stolen bases for Riverside Poly. Marisnick, who has signed a letter of intent to play for University of Oregon, hit at a .495 clip in '08.

DatPrince, your absolutely right on the Q.Richardson & Jefferies theory, they started this game playing like a Proffesional SF/SG switching position on offense/defense with Wilson Chandler which threw a curve in Hornets coach Baron Scott plan with Peja & Chris Paul.
It's our bad that Q.Rich have those kind of games 1 out of 8 games and Jefferies team-chemistry shows up 1 out of 6 games....so excuse me for calling him Q.Brick through those 7 games and Jefferies the 12th man on the roster.
The Knicks shooting was not all that well but their defense deserve a B-+ plus for effort....I still get frantic about all the 3-balls we shoot in the 4th Qtr....but Q.Rich & Harringtons 3's dropped with Chandler layup then his jump-shot at the top of the foul line which sealed this Knick Win.
Lets Go Knicks
Gallinari be aware of Rookie Brook Lopez 31pts & 13rbds over a centerless Thunder team to give his Nets team a start to finish win.
I dont trust the Knicks "two-headed" clueless monsters selecting in the 2009 draft after their poor-poor selection in 2008 draft.
And Chuckie V dropped 40-something as a rookie and we all saw how well that turned out...
Drop it. You can't make judgements on a guy who hasn't played yet.

Happy Halloween, everybody! We hope you're having a great day, regardless of whether you're doing anything special.
And, here is one thing to make this day even better. The results of the 2009 QSQ awards are in and I am pleased to be able to announce them now. We had another strong batch of nominations this year and the committees worked hard to read and evaluate the stories, before coming to some tough decisions. You will notice that we have provided feedback on the winners this year, so you can get an idea of the types of things the judges were saying about the stories. Where there no comments at the moment - don't worry - they'll come!
And so, without further babble from me, the list of winners for the 2009 QSQ Awards is:
Best General Story
One-Shot Winner: The Love of Family by Seren
"The Love of Family is emotional and engaging. This story flows beautifully and is one of those fictions that you have to read over and over again to get everything out of it. This is truly a great piece of writing."
Chaptered Winner: The Letter by Cassandra Cross
"The Letter is one of those stories that starts off interesting, and ends the same way. The plot is engaging, and the characterizations are spot-on. The OCs of the story actually add to it, and the villain is both reasonable and entertaining."
Best Dark/Angsty Story
Winner: Poppy Seeds by fg_weasley
-This story was incredible. I adored Nikki's description and her insight into the minds of both Lily and Sirius. The emotion was raw and painful and I felt like I was really in the minds of the characters. Their pain was your pain. This piece was simply beautifully written.
Runner-up: A Certain Slant of Light by Hatusu
--I read every single letter, took note of every single punctuation mark. It's heartbreaking and believable. --The story flows effortlessly and I was completely drawn into the world the author created.
Best Humor Story
Winner: Bare Bottomed Longbottom by leesmiley
A story written with the Weasley twins and no mention of the Golden Trio? That fact alone peaked my interest. Neville is given the chance to prove himself in a way most readers have not had the opportunity to see and the end result was a fun 'romp' through the castle during afterhours. Brief run-ins with McGonagall, Filch and even Dumbledore keep the reader on their toes until this special competition is over. Everyone is kept canon and that contributed to the giggles.
Best Romance - Canon Story
One-shot Winner: It Must Be Love by jenny b
-It's the type of story that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside...I really just loved this sweet and fluffy collage of various pairings; each was well-characterised, each was unique and each was well-written...It's a perfect represenation of the canon romance category.
One-shot Runner-up: A Good Shag by DragonDi
-The romance was subtle but there all throughout the fic, and realistic too...The characterisation was particularly strong, including for the more minor characters in the plot such as Sirius and Kingsley...I just loved the humour, the originality and the characterisation.
Chaptered Winner: Someone to Watch Over Me by MagEd
- I really enjoyed the read and found it attention-grabbing...the plot line is very strong and original...The romance was well-done and the story also had a really interesting plot that kept the reader gripped. It was good however, that the relationship remained prominent throughout.
Chaptered Runner-up: A Different View On Love by helz_belz
The main feature of the plot is not something I have seen used before in fanfiction, and it was a really interesting idea...The romance was strong and the relationship developed naturally and in a believable manner.
Best Romance - Non-canon Story
Winner: Dearest Friends by aethershine
Best Romance - Other Character Story
Winner: My Troubled Tyrant by Belledeg for Tom Riddle/Keedie Dante
Runner-up: Things Aren't Always Black and White by padfootsgirl1981 for Sirius Black / Kirsty White
Best Alternate Universe Story
Winner: Astra Inclinant, Non Necessitant by Hermione_Rocks {chaptered}
---It's really interesting to see what remains true to canon and what changes when Harry is a Squib. That, of course, is the entire point of AU, and I think it's well played out in this story. -- I do like the idea of Harry being a Squib and thought the author explained his very different life very successfully. I particularly liked the way she portrayed the Dursleys as loosening up on Harry once he'd got past the age of eleven. He didn't have as much of a hard life.
Best Poetry
Winner: I Am Alive by the opaleye
----I keep imagining a speech choir, one half sussurating the first-person lines, the other half thundering the third-person lines. The halves reverse in the last lines, emphasizing Harry's imminent victory and the defeat of Voldy. The lines are so resonant in your mind and feelings that you know just how it should be read. -The repetition feels like a beating heart..
Runner-up: Hero by Just Tink
--I love the contrast between the first and last lines: "scrabbling" and "hero". That is so Pettigrew. -It feels just like thoughts - chaotic, half-complete - but more importantly it feels like Peter's thoughts, who is a character I have such a hard time understanding. The interpretation of his 'heroism' is a solid and novel one.
Best Marauders' Era Story
Winner: Lions of Gryffindor by Equinox Chick
--In this story, the characterization of the Marauders is wonderful. Equinox Chick has taken what little we know about the Marauders and created believable characters. --There is humour in this story and it is so realistic that this story could be canon.
Runner-up: Growing Pains by starscribe
Best Post-Hogwarts Story
Winner: A Little More Time by Pallas
-This is a mind-blowing, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride of a story filled with twists, turns, and dozens of dreaded but very exciting cliffhangers...Time travel is always tricky, but Pallas has pulled off Teddy's mission to rescue his parents in a very believable, well-explained, and entertaining way...the characterization is vivid and very in character
Best Same-Sex Pairing Story
Winner: Rebel Stars by Mistletoe
- The writing flows well and the characters are very in character...I like that the story doesn't make an issue of it being a same-sex pairing...it's very well written, and there are several lines that are definite gems
Best History/Mystery Story
One-Shot Winner: The Writer by Sainyn Swiftfoot
"A truly gorgeous piece. The way the story was written drew me in from the very beginning and I could feel myself becoming more and more entwined with the narrative from the get-go. I think one of the main advantages of this story is that it manages to make Beedle's story itself a fairytale-like one."
Chaptered Winner: Recolitus Optimus by megan_lupin
"--This was by far the most mysterious fic I have read, and Sirius' character was nicely portayed.
--The greatness of Recolitus Optimus lies in the historical data the author made up to give the story its mysterious plot. The many different details that are hidden in this two-shot are just extraordinary, and the prophecy is just mind-blowing."
Best Beta Reader
Winner: Amortentia x/Nitwit Blubber Oddment Tweak x
-After reading the recommendation from her beta'ee and looking at her beta thread, I wanted to request her as a beta reader there on the spot! She seems like an excellent beta to work with, very personable and careful with her work.
Best Artist
Winner: Magik 13
"Magik's portfolio shows a wide range of talent and subjects, all related the Harry Potter world and fandom. There's a little something for everybody in Magik's Dean's Corner thread. While I'm not usually a big fan of anime style, Magik's drawings still manage to seem realistic and are just very endearing. Magik also branches out from the anime style occasionally, proving that she knows her stuff."
Best Male Other Character
Winner: Dieter Heydrich in Für das Größere Wohl by Tim the Enchanter
"For the most part the author is allowing us to discover his character through the actions and dialog, and that is great." "Sometimes, characters can get lost in such big plot ideas, but Dieter shines through the background information and world the author has created."
Best Female Other Character
Winner: Alexandra Quick in Alexandra Quick and the Thorn Circle and Alexandra Quick and the Lands Below by Inverarity
"Alexandra is a very believable character. She has flaws, but also many admirable qualities. Her personality and actions seem real and she can absolutely stand on her own outside of HP fanfic. There are very few references to Voldemort of Harry. The most familiar elements are the spells, Quidditch and house elves. This is her own series and Alexandra is more than able to keep a reader's interest. Her background is believeable and you are able to relate to her. She doesn't have a picture perfect life, but she doesn't have a tragic past either. She is a regular girl who happens to be able to do magic. She's brave and stubborn and loyal. She doesn't think things through and she brings much of her trouble on herself."
Runner up: Marissa in Marissa and the Wizards by JCCollier
Best Reviewer
Winner: kumydabookworm
"Wow/OMG. That's how I felt reading all of her reviews. They're very direct, super polite, and absolutely solid. She can go into super detail OR give a very succinct review, and no matter the length, they're stellar reviews. She'll pinpoint an aspect, either good or bad, and say exactly why it was so - as a writer, not merely a reader - and it's feedback that should help the writer to either do the same thing again in the future or improve to get there."
Best Bannermaker
Winner: whomovedmyquil
"--Each aspect of the banner is flawlessly chosen and comes together to make a masterpiece. If you looked up the definition of synthesis in the dictionary, this is what you would see next to it.
--The text, no matter if simple or fancy, always fits in location and colour, expressing in mere words what the graphic conveys in pictures."
Runner-up: MissBean
"--The composition draws you in. Each banner that she produces is a unique work of art, designed to entice the viewer into the scene the banner portrays.
--The way Sara combines different colours with each other, but also grey with colours, is awe-inspiring, and the light effects really draw in the eye and leave you staring at the graphics' brilliance."
And one more thing - you may remember that we held a competition to find the banner to award to the winners this year and I can now reveal that the winner was Minnabird who blew us away with her entry! All the award winners will be receiving a personalised version of Minna's banner in the next few days, but if you would like a sneak preview, you can click here to view an example!

Awesome story man, thanks for sharing. Way cool that you got meet and chat with him a bit. Sounds like a good guy.
Great read and good job getting him to open up. Better than the other interviews i have seen from him.
Awesome story man, thanks for sharing. Way cool that you got meet and chat with him a bit. Sounds like a good guy.
I'm not a deep draft guy or a draftnik so I honestly didn't really recognize Stedman at first when Geno was talking about him and then it clicked and I remembered that WVa had two receivers go pretty high up. He was a really cool kid....and I say kid because that's the other thing I took away from this event. I'm in my 30's and you kinda forget that these guys are like 21, 22, 23 years old. Think about what we were doing in our early 20's...goofing around, hanging out with friends, starting our first jobs. These guys are the same way and you kind of forget that sometimes.
good stuff. thanks
A few pictures...
The event
Playing trivia with Dion Jordan
Can I get a thumbs up for JI, Geno?
First time the rookies will get their NFL jerseys. They were all hanging and ready to be presented to each player.
But I had to go over and take a look at Geno's before he even got to see it.
Pretty cool. You are a lucky guy.
See, this is both the Jets and the Insider in JetsInsider.
Thanks for sharing, simply awesome. The most revealing part, to me, is his enthusiasm. He is nowhere near the disillusioned prick that the media portrays him as.
Whether this portends to good QB play or not, I have no idea, but it's a far cry from ESPN.com's "Geno the Arrogant Italian Black Man" articles.
Liking this kid more and more.
Thanks for that, jetstream. Very informative and I like the photos.
great report, Jetstream
thanks for posting it
If Geno has small hands, then you have baby doll hands.
Great write up, and good for you for going AND sharing.
Thanks for sharing this. What a cool experience it must have been.
Just hope this kid can ball. We need...deserve...a QB. Can't wait for training camp.
Jetstream, thanks for the good read. Giving hope to the downtrodden masses. You can stop sucking in your belly now, the photo is over.
Thanks for the great read.
Love the pics. He looks like a real pleasant and upbeat guy who has not yet been ground up by the media (despite their best efforts).
Thank you very much!

In a technetium-labeled red blood cell bleeding scan, blood is taken
from you, and a small amount of radioactive material called technetium is added
to the blood. The blood with the technetium is then injected back into
your bloodstream.
Red blood cells with the technetium attached to them accumulate
at the location of active bleeding. A machine scans the body to find where the
technetium accumulates. This method of finding bleeding is sometimes
more effective than angiography. The technetium-labeled red blood cell
bleeding scan may find slow bleeding that can't be seen using

(Draper, Utah) Top Income Earner and Team X 88 International Team Elite, Adam Paul Green, is excited to announce the NEW Xophoria Nano Shampoo and Nano Hair Conditioner!
For more information in Michigan, send an email to adam [at] adampaulgreen.com
801-809- 7 7 6 6
Youthful, Vibrant, Lustrous Hair in Michigan – with Xophoria! When people in St. Charles look at your hair, do they see a youthful, vibrant, and energetic you, or a dull, drab and lifeless you?
The truth is our hair either portrays an image of youth and energy or one of age and fatigue. Unfortunately, in today's modern world, it's extremely difficult to maintain lustrous, vibrant and healthy hair. Our diets are poor, we're continually exposed to toxins and pollutants, our schedules are high-stress, we don't exercise enough and we don't get sufficient sleep.
Not only do we feel haggard and fatigued, our appearance (including our hair) often shows it as well.
Xophoria Hair Care Provides Unique Hair Solutions.
BUY TICKET: https://xophoria.eventbrite.com/
In addition, instead of helping, most hair care products only make the problem worse. They're comprised largely of harsh, synthetic chemicals that damage the hair, strip its protective barrier, dull its luster and leave it looking thinned, lifeless and old. Unfortunately, these type of products are the norm and it's difficult to find one that can deliver true, natural healing for healthy and youthful looking hair and skin. Until now.
Xophoria Cacao-Based Antioxidant Hair Care Shampoo and Conditioner provide the only cacao-based hair care for naturally healthy, luxuriant and youthful hair in Michigan. With Xophoria, now you can have the beautiful and healthy hair you've been waiting for.

Insomnia is a classic symptom of depression and stress-related psychological illness. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one type of psychotherapy. It involves meeting with a licensed professional on a regular basis in an individual or group setting. CBT works to identify and resolve the psychological factors that contribute to the depression or another psychological illness causing the insomnia. Medication for the underlying problem may be prescribed in conjunction with CBT.
For some, CBT may be as, or more effective, than medication in short- and long-term management of insomnia. CBT may have more lasting treatment effects than medication. CBT is usually given over six weeks, with maintenance therapy given as needed.
There are specific and effective techniques that may help to reduce or eliminate anxiety and body tension. These can include meditation, visualization, and deep breathing. These techniques can help your mind to stop racing, allow your muscles to relax, and allow restful sleep. It takes some practice to learn these techniques and achieve effective relaxation.
Some people suffering from insomnia spend too much time in bed unsuccessfully trying to sleep. They may benefit from a sleep restriction program that at first allows them only to stay in bed for the number of hours the person actually sleeps, as opposed to the number of hours the person spends in bed tossing and turning. The minimum number of hours for sleep is usually about 5 hours. A person would gradually add more time to their starting amount until a more normal night's sleep is achieved.
Another treatment that may help some people with insomnia is to recondition them to associate the bed and bedtime with sleep. For most people, this means not using their beds for any activities other than sleep and sex. As part of the reconditioning process, you are usually advised to go to bed only when sleepy. If unable to fall asleep, get up, stay up until sleepy, and then return to bed. Throughout this process, you should avoid naps, and wake up and go to bed at the same time each day. Eventually your body will be conditioned to associate the bed and bedtime with sleep.
Transient and intermittent insomnia often occur in response to a short-term event and will usually resolve in a few days. If you have sleeplessness that continues for more than a week, contact your doctor for an evaluation and consultation about your treatment options.

Square Enix has announced Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, a fully-redesigned version of 2010's struggling MMO FFXIV Online, due to launch on PS3 and PC "soon".
A Realm Reborn has been "rebuilt from the ground up", reckons Square, and features a new world and storyline.
Funnily enough, the storyline centers around "the core concept of rebirth". Square, you so crazy!
"Since announcing our plans for the future of the title last October, we have been working tirelessly to include all of the elements that we have promised in FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn, which we announced today," said Naoki Yoshida, Producer/Director of FINAL FANTASY XIV.
"This new title not only becomes a symbol of a completely new FINAL FANTASY XIV, but also marks the beginning of a new stage as the latest title in the FINAL FANTASY series. I hope you're looking forward to it!"
Can't see why we wouldn't be, Naoki.
Final Fantasy XIV launched in September 2010 to a poor critical reception, with reviewers criticising the game for its "broken interface" and "nonsensical player limitations".
Multiple improvements to the game were made via subsequent patches, until Square announced that it would be relaunching the game as Final Fantasy XIV 2.0, featuring a "fundamental reworking of in-game maps" and "the implementation of a new graphics engine".

REPOSTED due to thread not showing up yesterday!
I'm sick of people underestimating Ichiraku Ramen Guy!! it drives me nuts, people seem to forget what the guy's capable of and i'm here to show YOU factual evidence and proof with manga scans what the guy can do and why he is an a whole other level then Madara.
This is him for people who don't know:
''What are you talking about?? he's just a random character in the Naruto universe, he has no other purpose then serving ramen!!!''
That's what i thought...i was so foolish, but then after two years of research i found panels with this ''innocent random character'' in the most important events of the manga!!
For example here:
This clearly states that he was the one who had the plan of capturing the Kyuubi, WHO ELSE WOULD BE CAPABLE REALLY! it's so obvious, he gets so much intel about Naruto and co. while they are eating a bowl of ramen and say where they go and what their mission is.
Here is another panel i found and supports everything i said even more!
This is a picture of ichiraku ramen 20 years before the Kyuubi attack, for those who don't know he's in business for 43 years! this is enough time to get enough information on Kuzina's time of giving birth to Naruto since he's the central source of information in Konoha and he's the least suspicious one.
And finally the one that broke my bubble, went against everything i believed, crushed countless of minds....the picture of him....having the Rinnegan.
I mean people how were we so fooled by this?! all this time we ignored the fact that he survived all attacks on the Leaf Village without a SCRATCH even the Pain Invasion, everyone got killed except for him.
And if you still don't believe me he was the one behind all this and not Madara, then what do you have to say about these pictures:
If you look closely you see Ichiraku hidden in the crowd..
I couldn't believe that picture above, i thought it was faked or edited but then i saw this and i was sold...
I hope you guys learned from this, don't underestimate the original villain of the series...
Thanks for reading! i hope your eyes don't bleed to much! ILY ALL

I'm pretty new to Linux and completely new to Linux Mint
I'm running Linux Mint 14 Mate on my desktop and up to yesterday everything was fine. I then tried to download different themes of which some did not really work. Also I installed wine and a windows-program. Today, I started the computer again and an empty desktop was provided from the system.
- The wallpaper was gone
- the panel including the menu disappeared
- I can't switch between programs with ALT+TAB anymore
I tried to find the solution by searching this forum as well as the internet but didn't succeed so far. One point seems really strange to me:
When I right-click on the desktop and open the "change background of the desktop" (I'm not sure if it's the correct translation to english), the window is called Cinnamon-settings! I thought I'm running Mate???
Another thing: I figured out, I can start the panel by opening a terminal with CTRL+ALT+T and then enter "mate-panel". But it disappears again when I close the terminal and ALT+TAB still does not work.
Also I tried to install the .deb-packages suggested here but two of them had errors during installation due to dependencies to packages of which my system has different versions
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!

Rays ALDS Celebration Photo Blog
I have only got a few photos right now, but as the night goes on you know I will be updating this blog and adding more and more as I get them.
Who would have thought we would be celebrating this in October should be a psychic friends network supervisor.
All I got to say is that I hope you already got your ALCS tickets, because if you did not get them within the first 5 minutes today, you will be at Ferg's ,or other great places celebrating with your friends. I got lucky and scored a few incentives for the series, but I am not going to give up my sources right now. But, let me tell you that the prices going up on places like Stubhub.com and cheap tickets.com are out of this world. My seat area at the Trop is going for over $ 350 dollar a seat right now, and the seat cost the Season Ticketholders $ 55 dollars when we first got them.
That is the problem with places that re-sell tickets at a profit. They price out the average guy and only the executive or coporations can afford to purchase more than 1 ticket at a time. Even if you were a Season Ticketholder trying to get more tickets, you got out manuvered by people selling the passwords on Ebay or other sites to purchase tickets. I know it is a true sign of free capitalisitc system, but can we maybe cap the top asking price at 300 percent over the listed ticket price.
Only thing better would be to sell my ticket for $500 dollars to a Boston fan and take his money and buy the bar a round of drinks on him. Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw, I can't do that, I love this team too much to even give up a ticket for a huge amount of dough.
So here are the only photos I have right now, but you know there will be more shortly. Enjoy!!!
Did you see Edwin Jackson and Matt Garza sprint out of the dugout and head to Grant Balfour. They might be in line for pinch-runner duties in the future. That was a flat-out sprint to the mound. Pure Grant, getting mugged by a 240 pound catcher with all his gear on………..
The you got Jonny Gomes coming in for a side attack, while Scott Kazmir is climbimg the human pile-up.
Navi..meet Evan………Evan…….meet Navi.
First an All-Star selection for Navarro, now a possible World Series game behind the plate. It is truly a "magical season" for the Rays.
Carlos Pena was interviewed tonight and talked about the "fraternity" type enviorment that this team has had all year long since Spring Training. It truly shows that each of these guys depend on each other to play 100 percent for the entire game and they will be victorious………………Kudo to Joe Maddon for his cryptic message of brotherhood.
No Joe, We need to salute you for all that you have done for this team this year.
And let the Champagne flow baby……………………Let it Flow!
How great must Stu Sternberg feel sitting their knowing his team has just gone one more rung up the ladder in the Playoff picture. You could never imagine that in this short time this club would rebound from the 100 loss club to the almost 100 win club plateau. I would be sitting there soaking thia all in too. It is truly a magical year for eveyone associated with this team.
Navi getting some love from one of his biggest supporters, owner Stu Sternberg.
Akinora Iwamura, who hit .389 during the series has a huge moment with pitcher James Shields. You know Shields is happy to not have to go to the mound for Game 5 against the White Sox. With this couple of days off between the ALDS and the beginning of the ALCS, Shields might be the Game 2 starter for the Rays at Tropicana Field.
"Mr. Ray" Jonny Gomes and the true leadership of this team, Cliff Floyd enjoying a moment with champagne bliss. Floyd has been one of the huge veteran leadership guys on this team this year. Having won a ring in 1997 with the Florida Marlins, Floyd knows what it takes to win it all.
The Rays "big 3 Guns" enjoy the victory tonight. James Shields, Matt Garza, and Scott Kazmir are the big three who will pitch the Rays into the ALCS. Kazmir had a 3.38 ERA in the ALDS series and his 1st post-season win.
Rocco Baldelli helping Andy Sonnanstine celebrate his first post-season win, with a little help from Ben Zobrist and Fernando Perez.
Jonny Gomes doing his best Aquaman imitation helping a team mate adjust his champagne goggles
You have to be glad that Carl Crawford finally got to play in one of these "games that matter." Considering he and Baldelli are the last of the products of the old "Rays" system, this must feel like pure heaven on your face and skin right now. Crawford was a huge part of the teams success in this final game.
After all the hoopla, I headed out to the St. Petersburg'/Clearwater airport at about 10:05 p.m. to set up a spot to welcome the boys' home. When I got there, I rambled up to the WTSP Channel 10 news truck and found out that the team would be getting directly on the busses' and heading to the Trop. That there was no planned or even a walk through the airport palnned for tonight.
Because of their late arrival time, maybe around 2 a.m., the Rays were thinking of the players and families who might be waiting for them at the Trop. I understand this totally, and I went back to the house to respect the request of the Rays. But, with the fast sell-out of the ALCS tickets, and the possible aspect of over 50,000 people hitting the bars in St. Pete on Friday and Saturday night, it might be the last time we see the Rays players until another major Rally or post game event.
I guess it is all about timing. And with that in mind. Chris Westmoreland, now do you undertsand why I was trying so hard to get a job in the clubhouse the last few years. I have played college baseball and saw a chemistry building in the last few years that had to top out sometime. Little did I even know it would be this season. I thought we had at least 1 more before the explosion. Click.click……Boom.Boom

Neil described the exact methodology in his quarterbacks post, so I won't waste time repeating it. However, I wanted to look at coaches over an even longer period, and 1950 sounded like a good cut-off.1 Since we don't have point-spread data for games from 1950 to 19772, I simply used the projected point spread based on the differential between each team's SRS ratings and by awarding the home team three points. So for pre-1977 games, coaches are credited with wins over expectation based on the SRS, and for post-1977, for wins over expectation based on the Vegas line. Here are the results.

- Note that coaches, like Paul Brown, who coached before 1950 are included, but their pre-1950 stats are not. [↩]
- One other piece of fine print: for the Super Bowls, I used the actual Vegas lines, since those are readily available. [↩]

Pan Am: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Men World
[There was a video here]
I can imagine last year at the Emmy's when Mad Men won for the third year in a row that all the networks execs were sitting around thinking, "We need to get us a Mad Men!" What came out of that thought is ABC's Pan Am, but their sweet '60s nostalgia lozenge isn't anywhere as easy to swallow as the original.
I can just see the ABC executive who decided this show was a good idea leaning over his desk with a well-chewed cigar in his mouth saying, "What are the kids into today? They're into the '60s, see. Let's just take a show and put the '60s in it. They'll love that!" But, see, that's not what the kids really want. It's sort of like one of those nightly news stories that tells you about the "dangerous new sex game" that kids are into, but the kids aren't really into it at all. And still, they did the '60s all wrong.
The '60s of Mad Men, while it is total vintage eye candy, still allows all the darkness to burble up just below the slick mid-century modern surface. Both Pan Am and NBC's even more horrible The Playboy Club don't allow this to happen. Their shows are all surface, all bright interiors and kitschy costumes with nothing underneath. The bright hope of nostalgia has sanded off all the edges. It's not the real '60s, it's the '60s as a pavilion at EPCOT center. It's not the real Pan Am, it's one of Don Drapers ads for the airline, with smiling cartoon versions of stewardesses that are too good to be true.
Yes, Pan Am is about the life of stewardesses in the exciting new world of the Jet Set age. Watching the pilot (the first episode, silly, not the guy who flies the plane) it seems like the creators dreamed up the concept before they thought of the story. So, we look at the lives of stewardesses: one is a runaway bride, one is French, one is Christina Ricci, and one is a spy. Yes, a spy! Cut to our cigar chomping network executive, "But what will the stewardesses do? I got it! (SNAPS FINGERS) Spies! Kids love spies!" So, yes. Spies.
There is some promising stuff on Pan Am—some excellent and pretty actresses, the retro design, that gorgeous stupid pilot guy—but its fundamental problem is that instead of bringing history to its characters, it's bringing its characters to history. Sure a Pan Am flight really rescued the Bay of Pigs prisoners but did we have to use the occassion for a silly Casablanca-esque proposal on the runway while the woman's hair is swept up in the wind of the propellers. On Mad Men we saw the characters deal with JFK's death, not Don Draper pitching at the Book Depository on the day it happened. Adding some Cold War tension to the proceedings wouldn't be a bad idea, but don't make one of the stewardesses a spy in the damn war! It's just too far-fetched.
What would be best for the show would be showing some realistic(ish, this is TV after all) stories about this "new breed of women" the show talks about. Instead of talking about it, show us. No one ever told us Peggy Olsen is a "new woman" she just proves that she is, week after week. So let's wrap up this silly "Bridget the missing stewardess spy" storyline and get back to something a little juicier, something that's just below the surface. I'm telling you first hand, that's what the kids really want.

Ummmmm it has nothing to do with Sanchez IMO but it does have to do with a FO in the Giants actuallly knowing what they are doing......
Believe me when I say this with utmost respect that Eli is a very good QB but OMG does this guy get bailed out NUMEROUS times by some of the sickest catches you'll ever see!
I mean Dominick Hickson, a freaking backup is catching balls on the damn sideline, Nicks grabbing anything within 10 yards of him, Cruz catching the back of the ball.
It's freaking eerie the type of help Eli gets.
Seriously, 2 of the biggest plays in the Superbowl were freaking OUTRAGOUS catches that had they not been made change the entire course of history & Elis legacy for gods sake.
Elis a good man & like they say, good things happen to good people.
Sanchez has not been so fortunate when it comes to great catches & the one great catch someone made for him won a 2010 playoff at Gillette.
Ummmmm it has nothing to do with Sanchez IMO but it does have to do with a FO in the Giants actuallly knowing what they are doing......
Yes, Eli does have sick receivers and does get help from them.
But Eli has become truly special in that it doesn't matter who the Giants trot out there at WR. He will find the open man and put him in a position to succeed. He's a true franchise quarterback, one who consistently elevates the play of everyone around him in the offense. As someone who actually enjoys watching the Giants, it's been amazing watching his career develop from bottom tier quarterback, to unquestionably elite.
Eli is everything you want in a quarterback. Does he get lucky with great catches on occasion? Yeah. But as the saying goes, you create your own luck.
Also, OP: don't forget the catch Braylon made at the end of the wild card playoff game in Indy the week before that Pats game.
Throughout the entire 2010 season BE routinely went across the middle and caught inaccurate balls thrown well above his head. Last year, Plaxico made that one catch in the Bufallo game on a ball that looked like it was destined for the first row of seats.
Sanchez is inaccurate and a poor decision maker. Plain and simple. Has nothing to do with his WRs.
But I agree, Sanchez would be great if he played on the All-Madden team.
Certainly Sanchez has made his share of bad throws but just in these 1st 6 games, there were many plays that were NOT made.
This NFL game is a game of inches & 3rd down conversions are of utmost importance.
Mark needs some help this coming week, & our receivers & TEs need to have a GREAT DAY catching the ball vs a really weak Pats secondary.
You win by keeping TB12 on the sidelines & scoring on each opportunity that presents itself.
We know that the D can not win this game, they might slow him down on occasion but Jets need to control the ball & Sparano needs to delve into his bag of tricks!
If I'm the Jets, I'm going for 4th & short on every drive over mid field!
Brady starting at his 20 means nothing, holding the Pats to FGs is the only way to beat them in Gillette.
Both Hill & Holmes have dropped sure TD passes.
Cumberland let that ball go right thru his hands on 3rd down vs Texans!
Say what you want, I've seen Jimmy Graham grab many a high throw from Brees.
When you have Redzone, you see players making incredible plays all over the league on balls that are not thrown right on their hands or in the "breadbasket".
Jets have a inordinate amount of easy drops this year.
Giants passing game is almosty always in synch. The WRs make great plays, but they generally know where the ball is going to be and when they are going to get it. Jets WRs enjoy no such certainty with Sanchez, he is all over the place and frequently doesn't even give them a chance to make a nice catch. When your passing game is in synch, you see great catches. Look at last night with the Packers.
If Eli sucked, the excuse would be that he doesn't have any weapons.
Put Eli on the Jets and he would throw for 300 yards a game.
Eli is much more of a reason for the Giants' passing game success than their WR corps. He takes journeymen, former PS players, and makes them look great. His abilities allows their playmaking abilities to flourish.
Put him on the Jets and Stephen Hill is in discussion for rookie of the year and Kerley get 1000 yards in a season.
Isnt mark sanchez becoming eli manning real soon? Mark's 1st 3 years is just like eli and brees. He is turning inot a combination of eli and brees any second now. Cant wait.
But really good QBs can still thrive with mediocre receiving corps. Eli absolutely has - but for Sanchez, it's just another excuse to explain why he sucks.
