Fla. officers recall massive interstate wreckage
By Amy L. Edwards
Sentinel Staff
BARTOW, Fla. — Polk County Deputy Jack "Carlton" Turner III could hear the tractor-trailers sliding toward him. He was surrounded by fire. Pieces of debris and shattered windshields struck the deputy as he tried to help dozens of confused and injured motorists.
His own patrol car had been struck several times, but that didn't stop Turner from rescuing as many people as he could who were injured in Wednesday's deadly 70-car pileup on Interstate 4.
Turner was the first law-enforcement officer to come across the massive wreckage, and on Monday the 26-year-old deputy spoke publicly for the first time about what he encountered.
"I came across many people that were disoriented, looking for family members, looking for basically whatever they could," he said. "I came across many that were walking around back into vehicles that were still impacting."
Deputy Paul Buoniconti, who arrived at the scene after Turner, said he was walking through traffic with his flashlight when he came across a man trapped inside a vehicle pinned under a tractor-trailer. That truck was pinned by another tractor-trailer.
Buoniconti couldn't see the injured man, but he was coherent and spoke. The man said he couldn't move his arms or legs. He told Buoniconti his wife was calling on his cell phone, but he couldn't get to the phone to answer.
Buoniconti said he feared the man wouldn't survive, and the deputy thought he should be able to speak with his wife. So the deputy used his cell phone to call the man's wife. Buoniconti put the call on speakerphone, and the couple spoke briefly.
"He told her he loved her, and she said, 'I love you, and I'll be at the hospital when you get there,' " he said.
It took rescuers four to five hours to rescue the man. Buoniconti said the man is alive, but his condition is unknown.
On Monday, the Florida Highway Patrol identified the four motorists killed in the crash as Jorge Fundora, 51, of Tampa; Michael Fricke, 34, of Tampa; Darren Scott Snyder, 35, of Auburndale; and Joseph Noel, 57, of Lakeland.
Polk County Medical Examiner Dr. Stephen Nelson said the cause of death for each of the men is pending toxicology results. He said the bodies were "burned beyond recognition," and medical and dental records were not useful in identifying them.
Meanwhile, the FHP reported Monday that it has called in additional troopers to help investigate the crash and help build a timeline of events.
On Monday, Turner said that when he arrived at the accident scene, he couldn't see through the thick fog and smoke and it was nearly impossible to reach everyone who needed help.
"I was trying to basically get to whoever was yelling for help the loudest," he said.
Turner said he didn't know how many people he helped rescue. He would not comment about the motorists he couldn't save.
"It's a really tough feeling," he said. "I feel there's really nothing I can do. Even if I had a full fire crew to get to them, there's still nothing that could have been done."

PORTLAND, Ore. – It was a banner night for Robbie Keane against the Portland Timbers as the Irishman tallied his third two goal game of the season.
With his brace against Portland, Keane is now the Galaxy's leading goal scorer this season with eight.
Here are Keane's post game thoughts…
(On how fun that match was…)
KEANE: "It's obviously fun when you score goals, but I think like any professional, you're disappointed in the goals that you conceded. I'm delighted with the win, but we have to certainly stop these goals that we're conceding because it seems like we have to score a lot more goals to beat teams and that shouldn't be the case."
(On how the JELD-WEN atmosphere…)
KEANE: "The atmosphere is great, the fans were in great voice and certainly when they scored that first goal in the first couple of minutes, the place erupted, but I think we silenced them a little bit. Certainly, in the first half with the way we played and the way that we came back into the game with the quick goals that we got. Obviously though, full credit to the fans because towards the end of the game they were singing so well done to them.
(On the response to the early deficit…)
KEANE: "I think that's important, that's been the case hasn't it? In the last few games we're conceding goals and we're chasing the game and with any team, you don't want to be doing that. You want to try and get a lead and then hold on to it, but for some reason, we keep conceding then we have to score more goals to beat teams."
(Mood at halftime with Portland planning to come out aggressive…)
KEANE: "We knew that would be the case. It's been our downfall in a few games, conceding goals straight after halftime. It'll kill you a little bit. Certainly against San Jose that was the case, but we knew what to expect and I think that we're the team that came out a bit sharper to be honest with you. We got the fifth goal and killed the game off."

Business Ethics Prof. Jeffery Smith Coming to DePauw as Schaenen Visiting Scholar
June 18, 2013
Jeffery Smith, associate professor of business ethics and founding director of the Banta Center for Business, Ethics and Society at the University of Redlands in Southern California, will serve as DePauw University's Nancy Schaenen Visiting Scholar at the Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics during the 2013-14 academic year.
Dr. Smith is taking a leave from his position at University of Redlands, where he teaches courses in business ethics, ethical theory and political philosophy. He has published on topics ranging from ethical decision making in business, corporate human rights obligations, ethics in employment and corporate social responsibility, which have appeared in journals such as Business Ethics Quarterly, Business Ethics: A European Review, the Journal of Business Ethics and Ethical Theory and Moral Practice.
In addition to offering lectures at institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania, the Rotterdam School of Management and the Economic University of Bratislava, Smith served as Visiting Professor of Ethics at Tilburg University in the Netherlands, where he completed the edited book Normative Theory and Business Ethics (Rowman and Littlefield), and is an adjunct professor of bioindustry ethics at the Keck Graduate Institute. Professor Smith has also led seminars and spoken to corporate practitioners at organizations such the Ethics and Compliance Officer Association and the Boeing Company.
Professor Smith's ongoing research while in residence at the Prindle Institute begins with the premise that it has become too common to view corporate social responsibility as a profit-motivated endeavor where ethicists have been conspicuously absent from conversations about why corporate social responsibilities are properly thought of as responsibilities. He maintains that a more thorough moral justification of a corporation's social responsibilities arises from the fact that corporations have been delegated tasks in modern societies via the market. The administration of these tasks (e.g., to improve national defense, promote public health, develop technologies to manage environmental quality, educate and inform citizens, and finance public works) should be done in a legitimate fashion, which presumes that we view corporate managers as stewards of the public good who, while having private, role-based responsibilities to shareholders, nonetheless have specific obligations tied to the underlying purpose of the corporate form and the social goods that their particular firms aim to promote.
Smith earned his B.A. (summa cum laude), M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota.
Nancy Shelly Schaenen graduated from DePauw in 1951 and served as a member of the Board of Visitors from 1993-95 and as a member of the Board of Trustees from 1995-2003. She and her husband, Nelson Schaenen Jr., provided a generous endowment to fund this visiting scholar position.Back

This post is about Nintendo, specifically, and about the logic of the earnings season and Wall St analysts, generally. Let's start in reverse order.
The following is from Michael Pachter, a securities analyst with Wedbush Securities (WallStCheatSheet.com):
We expect a Q2 miss. Nintendo is likely to report Q2 results below our estimates for revenue of ¥100 billion and EPS of ¥(127), compared to consensus of ¥108 billion and ¥(84) and implied guidance of ¥145 billion and ¥(22).I don't really care what the forecast or expectations are, here. What Nintendo does or does not report tomorrow is immaterial to the point I want to make. Look at who is responsible here.
According to Wall St logic, a company is responsible for missing Wall St's targets. It is not Wall St that is responsible for accurately modeling and anticipating a company's results. In this sense, there is something holy and sacred and inviolable about such forecasts– they represent a hurdle for a company like Nintendo to cross over, if it's good enough. If it's not good enough, the company will "disappoint" everyone in the financial community by not overcoming these (somewhat arbitrarily chosen) performance targets.
It seems entirely backwards. The company is going to perform as it's going to perform, regardless of Wall St expectations. If anyone creates disappointment, it should be the Wall St analysts who are held responsible. What should be disappointing is that with their salaries, schooling and deep focus on these companies, they still can't manage to accurately forecast their earnings from quarter to quarter.
If you think about it, it's ridiculous for a company to ever "miss" its Wall St earnings forecast because these can be adjusted on the fly, all the time. In fact, this entire exercise of writing a report like this saying you "expect a miss" is an absurdity. If you expect a miss, then recalibrate your forecast to what you think is actually going to happen. It's preposterous to act surprised with a "miss" tomorrow, when you said ahead of time that you were expecting it.
This seems to be part of the Wall St priesthood tradition. Analysts can't accurately forecast earnings just like investors can't– the future is uncertain. This is one of the tenets of value investing. But somehow, despite Wall St analysts trying and failing to do the impossible, the ill result is not their fault.
The last bit of commentary is specific to Nintendo:
We think that Wii U's price points are appropriate given likely demand from Nintendo's core fan base, but believe that pricing will be too high to sustain long-term demand. Demand for the Wii U will likely wane once Nintendo's core fan base has purchased the first 6-7 million units, especially given the number of cheaper, comparable alternatives. For example, the prices of the Xbox 360 Kinect bundles have been reduced by $50 at Amazon, GameStop, and Wal-Mart.I don't know how to put this… this is just stupid. And it demonstrates zero creativity and zero ability to think beyond the end of one's nose.
DS and 3DS unit guidance is likely unrealistic. Nintendo guided to growth for combined DS/3DS hardware and software units for FY:13. In our view, handheld hardware sales will continue to decline due to migration of casual gamers to mobile devices. We do not expect handheld hardware to see a rebound in sales without price cuts. Similarly, we think that overall handheld software growth is unlikely.
Maintaining our NEUTRAL rating and our 12-month price target of ¥10,000, a slight premium to Nintendo's ¥9,000/share in cash, giving it credit for brand equity. We cannot assign a P/E, given the company's low potential to generate significant profits in light of declining product demand and unfavorable F/X.
First, the analyst is confusing things. Perhaps casual gamers were partly responsible for the booming success of the Nintendo Wii, but few have ever made the argument that "casual gamers" are a big market demographic for the company's handheld systems, like the Nintendo DS. Surely, wouldn't someone who is so in love with gaming that they must have a portable system to carry with them everywhere they go be the opposite of a "casual gamer"?
Second, the analyst is being pseudo-precise. The Nintendo Wii sold almost 100M units worldwide since release. But the analyst calculates that the "core audience" is only 6-7M customers? So approximately 90M, or about 90%, of all sales were to casual, non-core gamers? How precise can an estimate like this be?
Third, the analyst confuses apples and oranges. The emphasis on price cuts to make Nintendo's products competitive from here on out implies that the experience Nintendo sells is identical to the one offered for free or cheaply on mobile phones and other devices which are now deemed to be "competitors" to Nintendo's product. By this logic, Nintendo is vastly overcharging for its wares. It's hard to spell this out in simple terms but, is there an analog experience to that of an epic puzzle adventure game such as the Legend of Zelda series on smartphone app games? How would one play something as complex as Pikmin with the ability only to tap on the screen to control the gameplay experience? Or even something as simple as Mario Kart? These are not comparable experiences so the argument that Nintendo must cut prices to be competitive doesn't hold water– it's like arguing that Mercedes-Benz needs to cut the price of the S-Class or else they'll lose all their customers to the Nissan Sentra.
Fourth, the analyst is being inconsistent. To give the company brand equity credit, and any non-zero valuation at all when one argues that Nintendo must cut their prices when they can't and won't do this is idiotic. Because Nintendo won't do this, by the previous logic they're doomed to fail, but if they're doomed to fail the brand has no equity and it certainly shouldn't get a premium to the cash value of shares. If anything, it should get a discount to the cash value as it'll probably burn through more.
Fifth, the analyst is being disproportional and lacks perspective. Negative charges due to forex translation have been more than de minimis but are still a small, small fraction of revenues and total earnings. To cite ongoing forex issues as an earnings problem for the company shows a lack of respect for the true magnitude of this issue.
Sixth, and finally, this is another demonstration of Wall St's short-term focus and inability to think of the big, long-term picture. The analyst doesn't see ANY WAY that Nintendo can generate meaningful earnings in the next 12 months, even though it's rolling out a brand new system without any competition from Sony or Microsoft doing the same, and even though it's gaining sales momentum with the new 3DS system. The analyst sees NO optionality in any initiatives or efforts by this company, whatsoever. And, even though the stock market is supposed to be discounting all future cash flows of a company, therefore qualifying it as a "forward-looking" market, this analyst only cares about the next year.
Will Nintendo even be around 13 months from now? This analyst doesn't know and doesn't care, and seems to think that either way, the company represents such a frightening risk with 90% of his share price target in cash and no debt, that he is only willing to assign it a small premium value over that cash.
If Nintendo just scrapes by, the market should lift off once it realizes it's not dead in the water like this analyst believes it is. And if Nintendo has another hit on its hands, with the Wii U or otherwise, it's really going to catch everyone with their pants down.
Which is quite an embarrassing position to be in.
Oh, and one other thing– the smartphone gaming ecosystem seems to be in the process of cannibalizing itself. I don't think they'll present much of a threat for ol' Nintendo.

A method to his greatness
Guillen does it his way, which turns out to be the winning way
By Mike Bauman / MLB.com
He smashed convention, he offended the occasional passerby, he didn't seem to care what he said, or who was listening when he said it. But he never lost the most important part of his audience, the 25 people who played for him.
And now, nobody can take from Ozzie and his guys the central fact: He is the manager of the 2005 World Series champion Chicago White Sox.
He was still laughing about his personal style Wednesday night, after the Sox had finished sweeping the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. Plus, or minus, Guillen had always been dead-on honest about the way he felt about the way the Sox were playing at a given moment.
"I lead the league in throwing my players under the bus," Guillen said, and about 30 reporters laughed along with him, seeing both the humor and the truth.
But these players responded to him in the best way they knew how, by playing their best for him. OK, some times they ignored some of his more outrageous remarks. But they liked him, they respected him, they never quit giving it their best shot for him.
He was a relentless presence in the clubhouse, spreading good cheer and encouragement. He joked that he was in the clubhouse all the time to make sure that the players weren't talking about him. He believed he had a good shot at discovering any anti-manager undertones, because he spoke two languages. Only the Japanese second baseman, Tadahito Iguchi, could get anything past him, Guillen said with a chuckle.
"I think his personality rubbed off on everybody," said Jermaine Dye, the MVP of the 2005 World Series. "He'll say whatever is on his mind and he keeps everybody loose. He wants you to go out and have fun, stay positive, no matter if you're down. And he just knows how to win. He's been around a lot of winning teams and he's in the dugout rooting us on, getting us up, trying to keep us going."
Guillen is often portrayed as an over-the-top personality. But he has his restrained moments, not to mention his thoughtful moments. You might have noticed Wednesday night when the Sox players were celebrating their victory in the middle of the Minute Maid diamond, the manager was apart from the crowd, over in foul territory.
"Because of the way I am, people thought I was going to be jumping around on my players," Guillen said. But no, he purposely stood apart from the celebration, Guillen said, out of respect for the Astros and their manager, Phil Garner.
And there was something else. "I was thinking about my country," Guillen said. "I say: 'Wow, I wish I'd be in Venezuela right now, to see how they're celebrating right now.'
"With all due respect to Chicago fans, I know in my country they're going crazy. I think I finally do something real nice to make Venezuela real happy."
If you want to get a genuinely emotional response from Guillen, a question about Venezuela will do. He left one postseason interview choking back emotion after a question about the pioneering Venezuelan shortstop Chico Carrasquel. Guillen now becomes the first Latin manager to win the World Series. In his own way, he has done some pioneering, too.
In the end, Ozzie Guillen, who has this reputation of gathering attention to himself, made one of the most modest comments in the history of managing. After a lengthy comment giving general manager Ken Williams considerable credit for getting him the kind of team players he could win with, Guillen was asked what he did this year that made a difference.
"Nothing," he said.
And he then went into a discussion of how he and his players were in this together and how they had sometimes had a tough time, responding to comments that he had made.
"They trust me and I trust them," Guillen said. "We're here together. We do this for one reason, that's to win or lose together. And Kenny gave me the best. I'm not saying this because we win. I'm saying it because I mean it."
Guillen is a singular character in the history of managing and that statement goes way beyond his ethnic background. Nobody has managed a club in public the way he did. In some ways he was a breath of fresh air. He said things that managers were not supposed to think, much less say out loud. And none of it ever harmed his team.
There can be little argument: He should be selected as the American League Manager of the Year. And there is this other matter: He is now indisputably the genuine article, the manager of a World Series champion.
And Ozzie Guillen did it his way. The Major League managing profession may never be the same.

Attacks on the president's health care overhaul are nothing new for Republicans, who have made major gains in Arkansas over the past two elections by running against the law they deride as "Obamacare." But with the state's compromise Medicaid expansion reauthorized for another year, GOP candidates are facing friendly fire over the same issue that has boosted their political fortune in the state.
After surviving a defunding attempt during the legislative session that wrapped up last week, the "private option" plan to use federal Medicaid funds to purchase private insurance for the poor is taking center stage in Republican primaries up and down the ballot on May 20. Conceived as an alternative to expanding Medicaid under the federal health law, the program won unanimous backing from Democrats but has sharply divided Republicans in the state Legislature.
That divide could play a factor in races for offices that have nothing to do with the private option, such as state treasurer and state auditor. Primaries for both offices pit lawmakers who supported the program that's extending health coverage to nearly 98,000 people against rivals who have been outspoken in calling for the private option's dismantling.
Though he acknowledges the state treasurer's office has little to do with the private option, Saline County Clerk Dennis Milligan calls the program the "defining issue" in his bid against state Rep. Duncan Baird for the GOP nomination. On his campaign website and in an interview, he criticizes Baird for supporting the program last year and its reauthorization this year.
"It has to do with the leadership, the decision making process of my opponent with respect to our party and the leadership that he demonstrated being a floor leader for Obamacare," he said, referring to Baird presenting the private option funding bill to the House
Baird, who co-chairs the Joint Budget Committee, said he's instead focused on who's more qualified for running the office that handles the state investments and said voters are more interested in talking about how he'll reform the office. But Baird said he'll defend his record on opposing the president's health overhaul.
Baird said Milligan's criticism of him as the "floor leader" for the private option is misleading, and notes that he presents all of the budget bills in his position as the panel's co-chairman.
"If you call me the floor leader for one appropriation, you'd have to call me the floor leader for the balanced budget and tax cuts and public schools as well," Baird said.
The race for state auditor is similarly injecting the private option into an office whose primary duties focus on writing checks for the state, not crafting health care policy. Ken Yang cites rival state Rep. Andrea Lea's votes for the program in questioning her conservative credentials.
"You're hard pressed to call yourself a conservative when you support Obamacare," Yang said.
Lea said that when campaigning she explains that she backed the measure both this year and last because of what she saw as conservative reforms attached to it. Those reforms include the establishment of a Medicaid inspector general last year and a proposal this year to bar any public funds be used to promote the private option or other parts of the health law.
"I think it's just easier to say Obamacare and that seems to be something people don't like than to explain specifics about a bill," Lea said.
Even lawmakers who opposed reauthorizing the private option aren't immune from criticism. Republican Sen. Missy Irvin had voted for the program last year, but announced before this year's session that she could not support continuing it another year.
Phil Grace, who hopes to unseat her in the primary, said he doesn't believe that reversal is good enough.
"The problem is when we really needed her, she wasn't there for us," Grace said.
Irvin defended her position, saying she backed the private option measure last year only after it included changes she had pushed for such as health savings accounts that she said improved the program. She said she could no longer support the program after seeing how it was being implemented.
"People change their minds in business every single day and I felt necessary that we should press pause and let's address these problems," Irvin said.
The program is expected to play a role in several other legislative races. Rep. John Burris, one of the chief architects of the private option, is seeking a state Senate seat in northern Arkansas. Scott Flippo, one of the two rivals in that primary, has cited the private option as a top issue in the race. Republican Sen. Bruce Holland faces a re-election challenge in the primary from Rep. Terry Rice, an outspoken opponent of the compromise Medicaid expansion.
In the fight for the GOP gubernatorial nomination, Little Rock businessman Curtis Coleman is counting on the private option to help overcome a fundraising and organizational gap with former U.S. Rep. Asa Hutchinson. Coleman criticized Hutchinson for not weighing in during the session on whether the private option should continue - a criticism that Hutchinson has also faced from Democrats.
"I think it is going to be a significant issue and I frankly think my opponent's failure to take a definitive position is going to be a liability for him," Coleman said. "I think people view it as a lack of transparency and some view it as a lack of leadership."
Hutchinson said he believes he did the right thing by not saying whether the private option should continue, saying the Legislature didn't need his interference. Hutchinson said he'll continue to monitor the program and would push for the private option's end if it didn't meet the promises.
"We know that Obamacare's not working. It's fatally flawed and the Legislature dealt with this the best they could," Hutchinson said. "My goal would be to continue to put reforms into place, to measure the cost and if it doesn't bring the results we expect, I'll join with others to end it."

George Thornton '62 in England for World Record Swim Attempt
August 1, 2013
"George Thornton of Fort Collins will again try to become the oldest man to swim the English Channel," reports the Denver Post of the 1962 graduate of DePauw University. "Thornton, 73, and his family are in Dover, England, where he is preparing to swim the 21-mile stretch from southern England to northern France. Thornton planned to swim the arduous course in July 2012, but bad weather forced him to cancel," reports Monte Whaley.
The newspaper adds, "Thornton will take a practice swim Thursday, when his coach, Joe Bakel, arrives. Charles didn't say when his father will take his official plunge."
Thornton, a professor emeritus of psychology at Colorado State University, is hoping to raise more than $20,000 for Team Fort Collins, an organization that fights substance abuse.
The story can be found at the Post's website. Another article is available at the Coloradoan.
A psychology major and Rector Scholar at DePauw, George C. Thornton III was on the swimming and diving team as an undergraduate and was inducted into the DePauw Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996.Back

Daphne (Ala.) High School has produced top flight high school and college prospects like former West Virginia quarterback Pat White, and former Alabama defensive tackles Jeremy Clark and Kenny King.
All three played or play in the NFL currently.
So when Daphne head coach Glenn Vickery watched a running back by the name of T.J. Yeldon return a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown as a freshman against Pace (Fla.) High School, he knew he had a special player that may top them all.
"He's right there with him," Vickery said. "They were good kids, T.J. is a good kid. He was better than the rest all the way through. You saw the talent and the competitiveness. I've seen talented kids that are not competitive, he brings that whole package. All the way through you could tell he was going to be an All-American type player."
Yeldon has been selected to play in the 2012 U.S. Army All-American Bowl, joining an elite group of All-Americans from across the country. Yeldon was honored at a ceremony at his high school on Wednesday morning.
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound back has rushed for 1,773 yards and accounted for 28 total touchdowns through nine games of the regular season. Vickery believes Yeldon's talent is comparable to another former Army All-American and current NFL star.
"It was ironic that they said Adrian Peterson played in this game, and there are those that think over 6-foot is too tall to play running back, and I don't think there are many Adrian Petersons around, but I think he's that kind of back. He plays hard, has great hands. He was our slot receiver last year, he wasn't even our leading rusher. He's that 6-foot-2 guy who can play running back."
For Yeldon, the opportunity to make history was a remarkable feeling. Yeldon grew up watching the Army All-American Bowl and to now be preparing to play in the prestigious game is an honor.
"It means a lot, to be the first one selected from Daphne High School, it's a blessing, I give it all to God for blessing me with this ability and it's a great feeling," Yeldon said.
"I always watched this game and I always wanted to play in one. When I got the invite, I was excited. I didn't wait, I just went ahead and signed the papers and told them I wanted to play in it."
An important part of the Army All-American Bowl selection process states that all athletes are in good standing within their schools and communities. Vickery believes Yeldon epitomizes what the premier high school game in the country is looking for.
"It's a credit to our community, it's not a coaching thing, or a player thing, the teachers he had through the years, the youth coaches," Vickery said. "There are many kids that don't have this chance and T.J. is the model student-athlete. His grades are good, he deserves this.
"T.J. is a low key guy. Sometimes you see a lot of noise from star players at other levels, but you don't see that in T.J. He's successful, but he doesn't wear it. He's a five-star player, regardless of what some people think, he's a five-star player, but he doesn't wear it. He's a team player and a big part of his happiness is team success."
Yeldon's parents, Timothy and Kim, instilled at an early age the importance of good grades and taking care of business off the field, in order to excel on it.
"If I didn't have good grades, my parents wouldn't let me play football," Yeldon said. "I have to stay out of trouble and I'm blessed to have my parents support. They mean everything to me, they love me, they've never missed a game since I was little and they've always been there to support me."
Yeldon's parents were in awe most of the ceremony, as they watched their son be honored for his, and their, hard work as Yeldon grew into one of the nation's top players.
"It was exciting, overwhelming, like a dream come true," Timothy Yeldon said. "There was a lot of hard work, watching him grow up running that ball since he was six years old, it's something else."
For T.J.'s father Timothy, he didn't need to be a talent scout to realize his son was different and had a bright future.
"I just saw a fast kid when he touched the ball," Timothy said. "There was something special in him, he walked before he was nine months old, he ran before he walked. I would hold my keys up and he would go after them. It's just so exciting and we're really blessed."
Planning to join Yeldon in the Army All-American Bowl in January are fellow Auburn commits, quarterback Zeke Pike and running back Jovon Robinson.
"It's going to be good because one day we'll be playing in Auburn together," Yeldon said. "It's a good feeling to have guys around that I'll be around at Auburn."
Yeldon and the West team take on the East in the 12th annual U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Saturday, Jan. 7, 2012 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. The game will be nationally televised on NBC.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I had mine for about 4 months when the button on it broke... So all i could do was use the pad with my pen. It's a super light pad as you would expect and it's great if you want a tablet and don't want to pay over the £100 mark. However it may be totally useless if you do buy cheap and I would suggest investing in something with a higher price if you will use this alot.
It's also not the biggest either, which I have found an issue when using this in photoshop, and on large monitors. You can adjust how sensitive the pad is so each corner of the screen will be covered, however if you want to use it for closer details then this sin't the best option to do.
Theres a pros and cons with this and after the button broke I found that I just didn't use it after that!
I hadn't used a tablet before and I doubt I will again. It just isn't for me and I think ill just stick to the mouse in the future! Dont get me wrong, I did have great control in photoshop, but the cons were too high.
PROS: The tablet looks great, it's sleek and the material is quite soft to touch, for example it's not like the texture of cold metal but nor is it quite plastic to touch.
The pen is also great and it's super comfortable to use. The pen has two buttons which you can use as a left and right click funciton. Although this takes a little time to get use to, it's great and you do get into the hang of things!
CONS: Like i said: It broke. It was fairly cheap compared to whats on offer in the market and I do feel like you get what you pay for. It's great introduction to the tablet industry and if you like me you just wanted one to play around with images in photoshop then great! Buy it as it's cheap, light and easy to store!
The Wacom Bamboo Pen is a very easy to use tablet which allows you to draw like you would on paper, but converting it to your screen (laptop/pc). I personally used the tablet for school, I work a lot with the Adobe programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, ... all the good drawing and creating programs actually.
The use of the tablet in this programs is very handy, it easily is applied to your laptop or pc through USB and doens't need any other source of power. The great advantage of this tablet is its capability to make you feel like you're not drawing or creating on your laptop. It's a very smooth surface which allows you to be free in your designs.
A disadvantage in my opinion is that you need more space (when using a laptop). Since you're using a lot of shortcuts on your keyboard when using Photoshop or any other program, you can't just place the tablet over your keyboard. This makes the tablet a bit less attractive for me.
Overall, I liked the tablet very much and would recommend it to anyone who needs a great surface to draw or create wonderfull designs easily on your computer. It will boost your skills on creating as well as it will open up your world of drawing on your computer.
You'll feel very free when using this tablet, if you've got enough space for it on your desk or workplace.
This tablet is one of the best beginner tablets to start with. Whether you're a serious artist or a casual artist that's just starting out this tablet is practically made for you. The price this tablet sells for is also really appealing to me.
I am one of the casual beginner artist and these are just a few things that might help you. Tablets take a while to get used to so don't fret if you mess up frequently. At times the sensitivity of a tablet might catch you off guard when you're drawing. For me I just couldn't get used to changing how much pressure I put into drawing. But, eventually you'll get the hang of using this tablet. Don't be afraid of messing up the pen or having to replace it. Having this thought can actually affect how you draw as a measure to not mess it up too soon.
Now lets get down to how this tablet is in build quality
Build quality- The build quality is actually nice and feels sturdy to me. I have had quite a few accidents with my tablet that I wouldn't like to admit, but this tablet has survived through all the drops and rage hits. The tablet is also quite stylish to me and just looks great on my desk. Although the pen does feel flimsy to me especially the button on it. It just doesn't feel like it was worth what I payed to me. Though this is just my opinion.
P.S. I ended up buying another one for my sister and would recommend this tablet to anyone.
I like to illustrate with the use of Adobe suite, and if you're serious about getting the best results when drawing from scratch or editing your scanned in work, you'll need a product such as the "Wacom Bamboo Pen Graphics Tablet".
I went for this basic model as I had never owned one before and from other reviews I had read about the more expensive tablets, they didn't offer any features I would really need at this point, so I opted for the cheaper one. At the time of purchase, a couple of years ago, it cost me around £40. It's since gone up in price on Amazon to around £60, though there are now cheaper options from Wacom.
The Wacom tablet is well packaged. A sleeve envelopes the box and the box itself is well-made ensuring that the product is satisfactorily secure inside. In the box you get the tablet and the pen. There are three spare nibs for the pen and a little metal tool you use to replace them, plus an installation CD and booklet. There's also a 'software bundle' available for download, including a full-feature version of ArtRage and interactive tutorial, which admittedly I haven't bothered with.
Working on any operating system, installation is straight forward and from then on you just plug the tablet in via USB and off you go. The USB cable is approximately 100cm long which is great and doesn't restrict you moving the tablet to wherever you want it positioned. When the tablet is connected, a white light turns on, then when the pen is sensed in the active area the light becomes a little stronger in response.
Having never used a graphics tablet before, it did take a couple of weeks of practice until I was comfortable with the tool. The main issue I found was the tendency to go outside the area while I was drawing. The tablet's full dimensions are (W x D x H) 248 x 176 x 8.5 mm, and you have a working area of 147 x 92 mm, but once you get used to that working area it really is a joy to use. The tablet has a slim design and is yet very durable, so it's well designed, as you would expect from a company regarded as one of the best producers of these tablets.
The accuracy that is transferred from moving the pen to what actually appears on screen is excellent, though I'm sure that with more expensive tablets, this accuracy will increase even further to give you more control. Don't expect this product to be as accurate as when you use pen and paper in the real world. This requires a different technique to get the results you want, but all it takes is practice. There are much better illustrators than me who will be able to use this tool to draw things from scratch. My preferred technique is to draw the main components in outline form with pen and paper, then scan it onto my computer, and open it up in Photoshop for all the editing and perfecting.
The pen tool is ready to use straight away with the tablet, no batteries necessary. When you hover anywhere around 5 mm or so above the active area, you are able to move the cursor around the screen and then tap or double tap as you would click or double click with a mouse. For the right-click action you would use on a mouse, this ability is available on the pen too. There is a button on one side, so after a bit of practice you can hold the pen in a way that will allow you to simply click the button whenever you require it while you're working. In fact, if you fancy a change from using your mouse entirely, you can use this instead.
After owning this tablet and pen for a couple of years, I still have not found any need to replace the nib even once. I haven't used it every day, or even every week, unless I am doing a project which may last a number of months solidly, then I use it every now and then in quieter months. Because I don't use the tablet constantly, I put it back in it's box between times and tuck it away on a shelf. However, if you plan to leave it out on your desk, you can utilize the sleeve that comes as part of the packaging, or buy a sleeve/carry case accessory from around £12 upwards, and there is a handy little piece of looped material on the side of the tablet which neatly holds the pen, so there's never a chance of losing it like that ever elusive biro.
So in summary, the "Wacom Bamboo Pen Graphics Tablet" is a very strong product, simple to use, and for me, it shows no signs of age or need for upgrade and is perfect for the task.
I bought the Wacom Bamboo slate direct from Amazon to use as a tool to help me draw on the screen (as I present How to videos and compile tutorials for a website).
Once set up (2 minute installation process) you are ready to go. No batteries required, everything is powered through USB. There are a couple of programs that help you get used to the new control system that is within the software, which i would advise you have a play about with.
What I will say, is at first it feels like the most unnatural thing in the world. You need to get used to hovering the stylus over the slate, and then tapping down to select etc. Drawing is also hard...at first. And then once you have mastered the new hand-eye coordination, everything will feel as natural as using a mouse.
This is a fantastic tool, because unbeknown to me at the time, the stylus pen and slate which represents your screen, can also double up as a mouse. Move the pen over the slate, and the mouse moves. Tap the pen on an icon, and the icon opens. I am now at a stage where I feel like I do not want to use my traditional mouse anymore, as the stylus and slate does a much better job.
I know there are other products out there that do the same job, but this seems to do the job that I wanted it to do very well, and all for a very reasonable price.
What is a graphic tablet?
Graphic tablets give the user creative control through means of a pressure sensitive drawing pad(tablet) and a pen. This unleashes a whole host of fun and interactive ways to make the most of your time on the pc. You can add hand drawn effects to your pictures, create designs, use the pen as a mouse and carry out your tasks a lot quicker. The bamboo tablet is aimed at general consumers, novices and designers, making it a versatile piece of technology for all the family.
I am a user of the more expensive wacom tablet at university(£300+). I wanted something for home use that performed reasonably well without the high price tag. I did a little research and found out Wacom did a more basic tablet for under £50. I read the reviews on amazon which all were positive and took the plunge.
The key features of the tablet are:
Tablet measures 9.8 x 6.9 inches
Quick and simple to connect with a usb wire
Wireless pen with no need to charge
Pen has 512 levels of pressure senisitivity for intuitive drawing
Tutorials to help you get to grips with your new tablet
Corel Painter Essentials 4.0
Active Area Touch (W x H) - 4.9" x 3.4"(124mm x 86mm)
This product is unbelievably easy to use. All you do is slot into the usb hole and you are away. It is also very handy as an alternative to a mouse. I mainly use the tablet for photoshop, illustrator and indesign . I have had this product for 14 months and it is still in full working order and the pen nib is not worn. I personally think that this works as well as the more expensive wacom tablets. The more expensive wacom tablets are larger and have more shortcut buttons on the tablet, like zooming in and out. Overall I am very happy with the product and for under £50 on amazon it is a bargain.
For working with photos and images in Photoshop or with vector files in Illustrator there is no substitute for a good graphics tablet. The Wacom Bamboo is exactly that, a good solid graphics tablet, it doesn't have some of the bells and whistles of the fancier models in the range and thankfully doesn't have their price tags either, but it does everything the average user will need.
The packaging holds the tablet securely so no need to worry about how it has been handled in the warehouse or transported and it's all recyclable so you're not contributing to a landfill site if you dispose of it correctly.
Installation of the drivers and software was a bit of a chore, it seemed to take ages which was a shame as I wanted to get on and start using it. Still it is straightforward enough with a nice clear series of on screen instructions to get you up and running.
Once installed it takes a while to get the hang of the change from a mouse but when that initial period of readjustment is done, it makes life so much easier for producing neat, accurate drawings. Don't think however it will make you into the greatest artist in the world if you can't draw to begin with. But if you remember that it is just a pen for drawing onto a computer and not some kind of magical stick that transforms you into Rembrant then you won't be under any misconceptions.
The tablet itself can be set up for left or right handed use and moving the cursor around the screen is just a case of imagining the tablet is the screen and holding the pen just above the surface in the appropriate place. To start drawing just rest the pen against the tablet and move it. Accuracy of then unit is great thanks to a good resolution on the tablet and with a button on the side of the pen you gain access to all the functions you get by clicking the right mouse button.
It's not my favourite tool for navigation outside of art/graphics software but in Photoshop, Fireworks and Illustrator it really shines.
So I've been relying on my Trust Slimline Widescreen tablet for a while, but sooner or later it had to start to die of old age. But it didn't. Instead, I sat on the pen and snapped it, and two days later, when I was considering ordering a new pen, I spilt tea all over the tablet, and it was completely broken. It was useless. I couldn't bear using my mouse to do art, so I ordered a new tablet. The Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet. It came in a really nice lime green box, and everything inside was nicely packed and protected. So that ticks 'Good Packaging' off my list.
But of course, it's not all about what's on the outside. The tablet itself is nice and sleek and very lightweight, in comparison to my old tablet which was pretty thick and heavy. The pen is just the right size for my small hands and again, very sleek. The amazing thing about it is that is doesn't require a battery. Honestly, I was actually shocked about that. It may not seem like a big thing, but to me it was! I was actually so happy that it didn't need a battery, because I absolutely hate when I have to change the battery in my pen all the time. So I just needed to change the tip.
I installed the tablet onto my Macbook and the process was smooth and easy. I was delighted to see that with it came ArtRage 2 - free! I just checked on the ArtRage website and it is usually $20, so I was quite happy to get the program (even though I had never heard of it before, but at that moment I did desperately need an art program because GIMP wouldn't work on my Macbook and my Photoshop trial had expired).
Using the tablet is amazing. The experience was far better than my other tablet, by far. I couldn't get the pressure sensitivity to work with my other tablet but I finally got it to work, but when I used my new tablet with my PC laptop which has GIMP on it, the pressure sensitivity was there and it was all working fine. The tip of the pen with this tablet glides smoothly along the surface of the tablet, which contrasts greatly with my old tablet, whose pen scratches the surface and made me shiver.
All in all, this tablet is amazing and if you're looking for something cheap but amazing, then this is definitely what you need to buy.

I've been using graphics tablets for as long as I can remember. Due to having an illness that affects my joints and muscles, I find using a mouse quite painful after a short time. It was fantastic the first time I used a graphics tablet and pen. It's just like holding a normal pen, drawing or writing on a board which you hold in your other hand, place on your lap on put on a table next to the computer.
I'll give a bit of background as I feel it's relevant to the brand. I've gone through about 3 tablets now, all have been Wacom. My last one was the Bamboo Fun tablet, and lasted just under 2 years before going awry. The connecting wire became loose and kept losing the connection unless you held it in a certain way, which was very annoying and inconvenient. When I contacted Wacom (based in Germany) they advised me to send it back To Germany as it was just within the 2 year warranty period. However I couldn't find the receipt so couldn't send it back. A bit of research online lead me to think I could maybe return it to PC World, where I bought it, and lay a claim under the Sales of Goods Act, using a credit card statement as proof of purchase. Sadly I couldn't find that either. By this time my Bamboo Fun had given up completely. Struggling to manage using the touchpad on my laptop, which I find completely useless, I gave in and ordered a nice new Bamboo tablet from amazon. After my last tablet failed I researched other makes, but none had great reviews, so I decided to try Wacom again. I paid £39.40 for it on amazon.co.uk, with the RRP at £79.99 I thought it was a good deal. Note that there are 2 listings for the same product on amazon with one for sale at £63.99, so make sure you get the cheapest!
It came within a couple of days and I was a happy bunny once again!
The tablet came in a box inside a card sleeve-type box. Once you lift the lid on that box you'll find another piece of card to lift up which welcomes you to your Bamboo in 10 different languages. Inside all of the boxes is another card insert in which you'll find your tablet, pen (inside a bag with a plastic cap on), and a smaller box containing the CD and two booklets (quick-start guide, and one about Bamboo Apps). A case for excessive packaging usage if ever I saw one!
Installation is quite simple. You put the CD into your computer/laptop, click to install, and go through the instructions. You can choose whether you want to use the tablet left- or right-handed. Then plug your tablet into the USB port and you're good to go!
If you want to change any settings afterwards, just go to your control panel and click on "pen and touch." There, you can choose what actions to assign to the pen buttons and pen actions. Default are a single tap of the pen on the tablet is equivalent to a single click. Double tap is double click. Press the pen down on the tablet and hold it is the same as a right click by default. I switched this one off as it was annoying. You can set the speed for these actions too. The pen button is automatically set to be a left click when you press the bottom down, and right click for pressing the top button part down. On previous models I've been able to change this to have the bottom button for right click, but that isn't an option on this model which is a shame. If you're using an art/drawing/paint programme you can use the top of the pen as an eraser. Another function here is "flicks." The pen can be set to perform various functions by flicking it in a certain direction. For example, flicking to the right takes you forward to the next page, up to the left diagonally closes the document you're using, bottom right copies to clipboard. Handy if you can remember each function and don't do them by accident, but highly annoying if you keep doing it without realising. Hence, why I have that turned off now!
The tablet really comes into its own when using a paint or draw programme. I use Photoshop and Fireworks a lot and you can't beat it when editing photos or drawing things. It far surpasses a mouse in this respect. The tip of the pen is pressure-sensitive so for example when drawing a line it will be be harder and thicker the harder you press.
Some people find it hard to adapt to using the pen rather than a mouse. My husband and mum have both tried and said they don't like it and couldn't get used to it, so it's not for everyone, although I'm sure they would have got used to it in time.
The pen is lightweight, has no wires and needs no batteries to work. Not quite sure where it gets its power source from though. The plastic tip will eventually start to wear and Wacom very kindly provide 3 spares which are easy to insert. Just remove the old one with a pair of pliers and insert the new one by pushing in. There's a nice fabric slot on the side of the tablet to store the pen in, making it harder to lose.
One thing to note is that the pens can be easily damaged/lost and are expensive to replace. I've lost one and dropped and broken one from previous models. At the time of writing, the spare pen for this model is £33 on amazon.co.uk.
The tablet itself is black, with a matt edge, shiny surround and matt working area. The active working area is 147 x 92 mm, which is plenty big enough for day to day stuff. If you were a professional graphics designer you'd probably find a need for a more expensive, bigger model, but this is just fine for the average user. The overall size of the tablet is 248 x 176 x 8.5mm. A small white light lies to the left of the working area, and is lit when connected to your computer. It's lightweight, and has a fixed wire rather than removable one like my last model, so hoping it won't suffer the same fate. Just in case though, I've made sure I put the receipt somewhere safe!
ArtRage painting software is included on the enclosed CD, and the blurb states that additional bonus software is available to download, although I haven't had chance to explore either yet.
Overall I'm really pleased with my new tablet and would recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative to a mouse or touchpad.
I bought this tablet mainly for drawing in Adobe Photoshop - I decided to go for Wacom as I had heard good reviews, and I wasn't disappointed.
The tablet comes in a large box and feels high quality. It is very slim and easy to store when not in use - there is a slot on the right hand side for storing the pen, which is handy. The tablet connects to the computer via a USB slot - at first I had it plugged into a multi USB attachment, but it was very slow, so obviously needs to be plugged directly into the computer. The cable is long enough to attach to either side of a laptop. On the left hand side is a small light that lights up when the tablet is plugged in.
The tablet is really easy to use, and the surface feels nice to draw on, not too slippery like some other tablets. Two buttons are located in a convenient position near the top of the pen, and can be used to right click or double click, although you can also double tap the tablet to double click. The sensitivity is great, and can be adjusted to suit you. In Photoshop, it allows you vary the colour, thickness of lines, etc , according to how hard you press down.
Overall this is a great tablet, really easy to use and I have never encountered any problems with it. For professionals, a more expensive tablet with more sensitivity and features would probably be better, but for a beginner or amateur I would definitely recommend this product.
As a daily user of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, I had long been coveting a Wacom tablet, but was undecided which one to buy and how much to spend. In the end, I decided to plump for this one, the most basic and the cheapest, thinking I could always upgrade at a later date.
Six months on, I am more than happy with my purchase. It's great, very easy to use. You need to experiment a bit, changing the settings, so that it suits you and so that it is pressure sensitive when you draw. It comes with a tutorial on its use and also ArtRage software. It has two buttons that work as a left and right click, though I don't use these and use my mouse at the same time.
You can also use it in Paint and in Windows word processing software to write your signature.
If you wanted to create fine art, you would probably want a slightly pricier model, with more pressure sensitivity and an eraser, but this is a very good starter model.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Lhgt from Glued on advertisement impossible to get glue off This is the second item from our wedding registry that we got from williams sonoma that had a glued-on label attached to it. The glue is super tacky and really hard to wash off. Like, at least a half hour of scrubbing per item, and I'm worried I'm taking the finish off. So, so disappointing!Date published: 2017-07-10Rated 1 out of 5 by mozmic from Packaging Ruined My Pan!

Even though the Knicks won both games, Nikola Peckovic pretty much son'd Tyson in both games.
The way the dude sprints down the court, gets position, seals his man off and just waits -- moves-- goes back and waits, and can finish effectively with both hands off of either block...
I don't wanna make it sound like I'm disrespecting what Tyson means to the team, but I just envision what the offense would look like if the D had to worry about a low post player who has size, strength and a few go-to moves. While that guy can also defend his position on D.
A two-way player at the 5 along with Melo...damn..

About implementing it, how about maintaining a loop iteration counter in some internal variable as $?I.
The same applies for LAST, but how do you know you are running the last iteration until after the loop check has failed?

I'm trying to create a program that creates a log file and enters in information.
I created the following function to just create the file. However, whenever I run it, the program results in an error. When I put the file name directly in the fopen command and comment everything else, it works fine. The variable "Drive" that I send is either "C" or "D".
void BuildLogFile(char *drive)
// Build path to log
char logFileName[] ="";
strcpy(logFileName, drive);
strcat(logFileName, ":\\Test\\ppbatch_3.log");
fpLogFile = fopen(logFileName,"w");

Well my last drawing tutorial was on how to draw a werewolf face, head and eyes from multiple points of view. This next tutorial is going to be on "how to draw puppies", step by step. Now puppies are probably one of the most adorable living things on the planet next to infants and toddlers. Puppies come in many different sizes and breeds and they can be bought for a lot of money from a private breeder, or adopted at a local animal shelter or SPCA for a reasonable price. I did this tutorial based on my two very favorite types of breed, the French mastiff and the English bulldog. Out of the two I would rather own a French mastiff puppy instead of an English bulldog because they are way cuter and have more size to them. Puppies are so popular and because of that you will often see merchandise for sale like posters, coffee mugs, sweaters, and a variety of other things that make these animals a "must have image". Puppies get even cuter with age, I mean don't get me wrong they are cute when their first born, but as they get older they become more and more bite-able. When drawing out these two puppies I used reference pictures of an English bulldog and a French mastiff. The drawing sketch took me forever, which is why there are some imperfections with the line art. At first I used paper and a pencil, and then when the image was scanned in I used my Wacom drawing tablet. I was going to upload the sketch aspect of the picture that I drew, but I thought that some of you would want to print out the finished drawing to color or something. This tutorial will show you how to draw puppies step by step. I will be back again with more drawing fun so stay tuned folks there is more on the way.

Air Pollution
White House CEQ's Connaughton pushes for quick legislative CAIR fix
After a surprising decision by the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia to strike down U.S. EPA's Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), the Bush administration has been working to reinstate the rule through a legislative fix. With the clock ticking on this session of Congress, though, is there enough time to pull the necessary votes together? During today's OnPoint, James Connaughton, chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, discusses the administration's stance on how Congress should proceed. Connaughton also addresses how the CAIR decision will affect the Bush administration's environmental legacy.

Johnson talks of June return to lineup
First baseman says his injured right leg, hip, quad 'weak'
By Bill Ladson / MLB.com
"Ugh, ugh," Johnson said.
Johnson then smiled and proclaimed that his right leg is getting better. It was almost five months ago that Johnson suffered the worst injury of his career. On Sept. 23, Johnson fractured his right femur (upper leg bone) in the bottom of the eighth inning, when he collided with right fielder Austin Kearns on a blooper hit by Mets third baseman David Wright.
"I [checked out the replay]," Johnson said. "It took a while, a couple months. I just wanted to see it. [I] looked at it a couple more times, and just watched the leg flop."
Seeing the play unfold the first time was enough for Kearns, who suffered a sore left side and missed seven of the last eight games.
"I haven't seen [the replay]," Kearns said. "I don't really care to. I'm trying not to think about it. It took a little time. It's an unfortunate thing."
Manager Manny Acta witnessed the horrific collision as the third-base coach of the Mets. Two years earlier, as the third-base coach for the Expos, Acta saw Johnson miss more than a month of the season when a ground ball hit by Rockies shortstop Royce Clayton fracture Johnson's right cheekbone.
"What a coincidence," Acta said. "[Some of the] worst [injuries] I've seen in the last five years have involved Nick. I saw Nick take a ball off his eye in Colorado. And I saw him [break his leg] as a New York Met."
After lying on the ground for several minutes on that cloudy September day, Johnson was taken off the field on a stretcher, and he was transported to New York Hospital Queens, where the surgery took place. A titanium rod and three screws were put in the leg in order for Johnson to put weight on it right away.
Johnson was frustrated during the offseason because the leg was healing slowly. But additional surgeries to remove scar tissue and some of the screws helped Johnson get some movement back. During that period, he has gained about 15 pounds.
MLB.com coverage | Schedule | Ballpark | Tickets
"I seemed to be going to therapy [in Sacramento, Calif.] three days a week, and for a while there, [and] it wasn't going anywhere," Johnson said. "Those two surgeries really helped ... got it going a lot."
Johnson is still walking with a noticeable limp and he said that he hopes to start playing his first Major League game of 2007 sometime in June.
"Everything is so weak in my right leg -- my hip, my quad, everything," he said. "I still don't have full flexion. To walk for a long period of time, it gets sore. I sit down for a minute. That's because it's so weak. I've got to start pushing it because the bone, I think, is pretty much healed."
General manager Jim Bowden said that Johnson's return will be determined early next week. Dr. Benjamin Shaffer, the team's physician and orthopedist, and his staff are planning to look at the X-rays on Monday to determine how long Johnson will be out of action.
"There is not enough information to put a timetable [on the leg right now]," Bowden said.
Johnson said he has no regrets about what happened between him and Kearns on the field, saying: "It was a tough ball to get. We both missed it by about a foot."
The two have become good friends. During the offseason, they text messaged each other on a regular basis.
"If he [holds it against me], he didn't tell me," Kearns said. "We were too busy talking about fantasy football, playoff football, playoff basketball and all that stuff."
Johnson's absence means a several things to the Nationals. Acta announced that Kearns will be bat cleanup. During his career, Kearns has batted .257 (167-for-650) with 32 home runs and 100 RBIs while batting fourth.
"I've hit in the middle of the order pretty much the whole time I've been playing," Kearns said. "I'm used to it, moving around some, but anywhere in the middle."
Have a question about the Nationals?
E-mail your query to MLB.com Nationals beat reporter Jamal Collier for possible inclusion in a future Inbox column. Letters may be edited for brevity, length and/or content.
As far as first base is concerned, Larry Broadway will get the first crack at being the starter. Broadway played for Triple-A New Orleans last season and hit .288 with 15 home runs and 78 RBIs.
In fact, Acta called Broadway this offseason to tell him that he could be an important part of the team in 2007. Acta remembered the great Spring Training Broadway had in 2004.
"It was good to hear his voice again," Broadway said on the phone a few weeks ago. "I was happy that he got the job. They need some young blood out on the field. I think it will be good for the team. It was nice that he came out and called me."
Broadway went to the Venezuelan Winter League and didn't swing the bat very well, so Bowden acquired Travis Lee and Dmitri Young as insurance.
Lee is considered an outstanding defensive first baseman, but he is coming off one of his toughest offensive seasons. In 114 games with the Devil Rays in 2006, the 31-year-old Lee hit .224 with 11 home runs and 31 RBIs. Tampa Bay ended up giving him his unconditional release in early September.
Last season, Young, 33, played with the Tigers, but was given his unconditional release on Sept. 6, because of lack of performance. He was hitting .250 with seven home runs and 23 RBIs in 48 games at the time of his departure. Young missed more than two months of the season because of a right quadriceps injury and personal matters.

Updated: BHS steps in to keep Northern Berkshire OB-GYN, Family Practice open
NORTH ADAMS -- Berkshire Health Systems and Berkshire Medical Center are taking steps to provide the administrative services to keep Northern Berkshire OB-GYN and Northern Berkshire Family Practice in business in North County.
Berkshire Health Systems spokesman Mike Leary said Thursday that this move will ensure the continuity of some health care services for patients and medical providers affected by the closing of Northern Berkshire Healthcare, which operates North Adams Regional Hospital, on Friday.
As a result, patients of these two practices won't have to find other physicians on Friday, according to Leary.
Northern Berkshire OB-GYN and Northern Berkshire Family Medicine, affiliates of Northern Berkshire Healthcare, are two of three physicians practices that had been slated to close on Friday, along with the hospital and the Northern Berkshire Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice of Northern Berkshire. Northern Berkshire Family Medicine is a group of primary care doctors.
North Adams Mayor Richard Alcombright commented Thursday on the latest development involving Berkshire Health Systems.
"That is good news, certainly good news for the patients and those entities," Alcombright.
Any services that can be maintained in North Adams are critical, Alcombright said, "anything that we can keep here."
"I walked by the OB-GYN this morning and saw two young women come out who were noticeably pregnant," Alcombright said. "You just think to yourself, 'Where do they go?'"
"Northern Berkshire patients, families and practitioners are already calling and asking, 'What should I do?' And we want to respond as quickly and clearly as we can," said Diane Kelly, chief operating officer at BMC.
A third physicians group affiliated with North Adams Regional, Northern Berkshire General Surgery, was not announced as not part of this move.
In a Berkshire Health Systems statement, the largest medical provider in the county will provide the administrative support the two practices need to keep providing medical services. In addition, Berkshire Health Systems will help Northern Berkshire OB-GYN and Northern Berkshire Family Medicine relocate to new offices. The offices in which they are currently are owned by Northern Berkshire Healthcare.
Also, Berkshire Medical Center will set up a laboratory drawing station at the physician-owned office building on the North Adams Regional Hospital campus.
In related news, BHS is working with the Attorney General's office and the New England Health Information agency to arrange for management of electronic medical records housed at North Adams Regional Hospital.
BMC has set up an around-the-clock phone line for Northern Berkshire patients and health care providers to answer questions about scheduling and/or access to health care services. Callers may use the toll-free number, 855-262-5465, day or night.

- Yield
- Makes 2 servings
- Crusts
- 3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced crystallized ginger
- 1 tablespoon ice water
- 1 tablespoon raspberry preserves, stirred to loosen
- Custard
- 6 tablespoons whipping cream
- 1 ounce good-quality white chocolate (such as Lindt or Baker's), finely chopped
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- Fresh raspberries
- For crusts:
- Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and ginger and process using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add ice water and blend until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball and divide into 2 pieces. Flatten each into disk and wrap in plastic. Chill until firm, about 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out each dough disk on lightly floured surface to 6-inch round. Press into each of two 4 1/2-inch tartlet pans with removable bottoms. Trim overhang to 1/2 inch. Fold overhang in, pressing to form double-thick sides. Pierce crusts all over with fork. Freeze 15 minutes. Bake crusts until golden, piercing with fork if crusts bubble, about 25 minutes. Transfer to rack. Immediately spoon 1/2 tablespoon preserves over bottom of each crust. Cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
- For custard:
- Bring cream to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat, add white chocolate and whisk until melted. Whisk yolks and vanilla in medium bowl. Slowly whisk cream mixture into yolks to blend well. Divide custard between crusts. Bake tartlets until center is just set, about 20 minutes. Cool on rack. Chill tartlets overnight.
- Preheat broiler. Sprinkle each tartlet with 1 teaspoon sugar. Broil just until sugar melts and browns, covering crusts with foil to prevent burning, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate tartlets until cold, at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours. Arrange raspberries around edge of tartlets.
