Tulowitzki happy with MRI but sits out vs Yankees
Troy Tulowitzki was all smiles even with a forced day off.
The shortstop was held out of the Colorado Rockies' lineup
Tuesday night with lingering soreness in his left leg.
Rockies athletic trainer Keith Dugger said Tulowitzki has minor
swelling in his left adductor, near the groin. It's close to the
area where he had season-ending surgery last June to remove scar
tissues but is unrelated to that injury, Dugger said.
"I know a lot of people might be worried; I'm actually not,"
Tulowitzki said. "I've done everything I possibly could to control
this thing. It's just kind of crept up on me but I think I'm going
to be good and good for the long run."
Tulowitzki said he thinks he tweaked his left groin lunging for
the first base bag in Los Angeles on Wednesday while trying to beat
out a double play. He then scored from first on Michael Cuddyer's
Tulowitzki missed the Rockies' next game before playing two over
the weekend. Still feeling heaviness in his left groin, he was sent
for an MRI on Colorado's day off Monday and no tear was found.
Manager Walt Weiss said Tulowitzki would be limited to
pinch-hitting duties Tuesday against the New York Yankees but hoped
to have him back in the lineup Wednesday night.
"I think that the MRI has calmed me down a little bit and
everybody around (me)," Tulowitzki said. "I think what they saw
was good news: just a real small strain. Just today get the day off
and be available to pinch hit and then be back out there tomorrow,
that's my plan."
Tulowitzki has been diligent about flexibility exercises so he
can stay healthy and off the disabled list this season. When he
went down last year, the Rockies plummeted to a franchise-worst
98-loss season.
Tulowitzki is off to a terrific start and said he didn't think
his newfound cautious approach impeded his game at all.
"No, I think if anything, it's helped my play," he said. "You
know you can't go crazy out there, you've got to play under
control. I think when you're playing this game under control,
you're a better player. And I think that's kind of why I've gotten
off to a hot start. … And like I said, I've felt great out there.
It's just something where these last couple of days where it's just
been a little bit sore."
The Rockies have monitored Tulowitzki's workload since spring
training, giving him spot days off to prevent a recurrence of his
leg injuries.
"It's flared up a little bit, so he's getting a few more days
than normal. But the key is to keep him out there for the long
haul," Weiss said. "We can't miss chunks of time with him if
we're going to be serious about competing for this division. We're
going to need him out here. So, a day here, a day there we can live
Tulowitzki's latest leg injury, however, raises questions anew
about whether he can remain at shortstop or whether he should move
to a position such as third base that would be easier on his
That's something Tulowitzki doesn't want to hear.
"No matter what position anybody wants to put me at, I'm still
going to have to run the bases," he said. "And shortstop, I think
I'm doing a good job out there of being able to field my position
and still being one of the better guys defensively. So, when that
time comes, we can talk about it. But right now, defensively, this
is probably the best I've ever felt out there."
Tulowitzki said he knew there'd be days like this coming back
from his operation "and today's just one of those bumps."
"Obviously the MRI showed that there was something going on,
but nothing major," Tulowitzki said. "So, I'm happy today,
He added he was relieved to be able to talk openly about his
"Just to be honest with you guys is great, too. Just to come
out and say, `Hey look this is what's going on.' It's a good
feeling instead of just hiding and, say, people trying to cover up
for me," he said. "I'm happy about that, just that I can speak
the truth and get it off my chest."
At least once earlier in his career, he ducked reporters after
getting hurt and waited several days before speaking up.

Brien Taylor, who was the first overall pick of the 1991 MLB draft by the New York Yankees, has been sentenced to 38 months in prison in New Bern, N.C., after pleading guilty in August to distributing crack cocaine.
Taylor, 40, told U.S. District Court Judge Louise W. Flanagan that he was sorry for causing so much pain to his family and his five daughters.
Taylor was arrested as part of a sting in March after undercover narcotics agents bought a large quantity of cocaine and crack cocaine from him.
Taylor will also have three years of supervised release after his prison term.
The left-hander was signed to a then-record $1.55-million signing bonus by the Yankees but never advanced above the double-A level in the minors.

@ramblingstump: Travel will teach you about other personalities. We cook our way through other cultures.
@mom4everandever: Seeing it first hand: trying it, experiencing it, seeing kids in their own age group helps a bundle.
@thegeekwife: When you travel "go where the locals go" –that is the best way to teach kids about other cultures when travel.
What cultural attraction would you most like to visit?

@ramblingstump: Love walking around in Boston- so much to see. Also Plymouth Plantation, SF Chinatown, Seattle's Underground city.

Build Guide by Battlemagi731
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Dr. Mundo Build
Purchase Order
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Dr. Mundo
- A great tank
- Ultimate makes it so you never have to leave a lane unless shopping
- Cleavers break other tanks
- Great harassment with cleavers
- Honestly cannot do much other than tank
- No crowd control
- Low DPS (cleavers do damage based on enemy health)
Mundo is a straight tank Champion who can do little else. This build is a straight tank build, unlike my Nasus build. With Mundo being only that, a tank, this build seems only natural. Rate and comment, s'il vous plait!
Summoner Spells
For Summoner Spells, I have chosen Cleanse and Ghost. Cleanse will remove crowd control effects on yourself, and Ghost will make you run faster as well as ignore unit collision. These are key spells in keeping Mundo alive. He's hard to kill already, but with these spells, he's immortal if played right.
I have spec'd Mundo in a 0/21/9 fashion. Only 21 points are needed in Defense as I find dodge and Ardor ar not neccessary for Mundo. The nine points in Utility are to help Mundo with EXP, gold, time spent dead, and to buff his Ghost. These come in handy as I like to solo top lane with Mundo. Soloing with him can be hard during the beginning of the game, having no real DPS, but doing this will allow him to level faster and complete his build faster.
Skill Sequence
For Mundo's skills, max out Infected Cleaver as fast as you can in order to harass with the powers of a mad god. Get Masochism before Burning Agony, as Burning Agony, I find, is only useful for farming minions while no other enemy Champions are there or in a team fight. But even then, you have to watch your health more, making it a double-edged sword IMO. Get Sadism every chance you get and be sure to use it whenever you're around half health. You will not waste it as it has a low cooldown, and with some of the items in this build, it will be even shorter, and heal for more.
For his rune build, I have gone with nine Greater Seals of Defense to boost his armor, nine Greater Glyphs of Shielding to boost his Magic Resistance, nine Greater Marks of Vitality to boost his Health, one Greater Quintessence of Shielding to further boost his Magic Resistance as it is rather low with this build, and two Greater Quintessences of Vitality to further boost his health.
First off, buy a Ruby Crystal and a Health Potion. Mundo's skills cost health and these will help in the beginning. Build the Ruby Crystal into a Kindlegem when you can, and finish the Spirit Visage. This will help boost Sadism when you get it and lower it's cooldown. If you have enough gold, jump right to the Boots of Swiftness as Mundo is slow and needs these. Next, buy a Giant's Belt and start building Warmog's Armor. After you have finished that, build an Aegis of the Legion for the boost and the armor aura. Next, start building Randuin's Omen for the myriad of stats it boosts. Finally, build Thornmail for the armor and damage return. Note: Thornmail can be replaced with either a Banshee's Veil or Force of Nature if you're up against an Ability Power team.

KUALA LUMPUR: The findings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into Bank Negara's foreign exchange losses in the 1990s will be made public.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said, in a statement, said the entire report which was tabled in Dewan Rakyat today, would be made a public document.
"The opposition's allegations that the setting up of the RCI was politically motivated are baseless as the commission was set up based on existing laws, to verify the authenticity of allegations regarding the actual losses suffered by Bank Negara Malaysia in the 1990s," she said.
On July 15, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had assented to the forming of the RCI. The commission was given three months to conduct its inquiry, and presented its findings to the King on Oct 13.
The findings were then presented to the cabinet on Nov 3 before being made available to members of parliament today.

text: Make sure you are covered for environmental liability Written by: Matt Cosby | Published: 15 May 2017 Comment on this article Matt Cosby, associate director at Miles Smith Insurance Group, explains waste management companies' particular exposure to environmental damage laws The Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations 2009 came into force on 1 March 2009, and there is similar legislation in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. These arise from a European Directive and are based on the 'polluter pays principle' rather than burdening the taxpayer. "Environmental damage" has a specific definition in these Regulations, which cater for serious cases of environmental damage; previous legislation still applies for other circumstances.Under the Regulations, environmental damage refers to:• adverse effects on the integrity of a site of special scientific interest (SSSI) or on the conservation status of species and their habitats protected by EU legislation outside the SSSIs• adverse effects on the surface water or groundwater consistent with a deterioration in the water's status• contamination of land that results in a significant risk of adverse effects on human health.For certain activities there is "strict liability" which is important to understand. There is no requirement for fault to be proven and such activities include: those requiring environmental permits, discharges to water or groundwater, using pesticides or other dangerous substances and transporting dangerous goods.Enforcing authorities have to determine if there has been environmental damage, identify a responsible operator and issue a remediation notice. Such authorities include the Environmental Protections Agency, Marine and Fisheries Agency, Countryside Council for Natural England and local authorities. Remediation may be more extensive than under other legislation as primary (measures to restore actual damage), complementary (additional measures including alternative sites) and compensatory (compensation for loss of natural resources) remediation may be necessary.Environmental liability policiesUnder the Regulations, environmental impairment liability insurance is regarded as a failsafe position as, in the first instance, organisations should be proactive in determining if there is an imminent exposure and taking appropriate precautionary measures so damage never occurs.The Association of British Insurers (ABI) defines environmental liability insurance as that which "covers the cost of restoring damage caused by environmental accidents, such as pollution of land, water, air, and biodiversity damage".Businesses in the waste and recycling sector are inherently exposed to environmental liability risks. In addition to possible contamination at companies' own facilities, environmental damage affecting other properties or persons can result in claims from third parties, local authorities and environmental regulators. This includes damage to air, land, water, protected species and natural habitats. Often it is the legal costs of defending alleged losses which produce the significant costs and exposure to businesses.Waste and recycling businesses are susceptible to unlawful abandonment of material on-site by other parties for which they may be found liable.While general liability and property insurances provide some cover against pollution risks, it is fair to say that the potential liability of most companies operating a recycling plant or transfer station are beyond the realms of even the widest general public liability and property policies, and the cover available in respect of pollution is narrowing as the gap between environmental law and liabilities widen.Standard public/product liability insurances typically only provide cover for sudden, identifiable, unintentional and unexpected pollution, otherwise known as "sudden and accidental" pollution. A major gap in cover here is that gradual pollution is not covered. Also, there may be no cover for statutory costs and own clean-up costs, although it might be possible to get extensions for these. (An important point to note is that for the waste industry, this standard cover may be on a "claims made" basis, which means only a policy in force at the time of a claim will pay.)What you get for your coverEnvironmental liability policies have developed over time, and the cost has reduced significantly in recent years as more companies have entered the market. Covers can be tailored to meet individual business requirements with limits readily available up to £20m and policy terms available for up to 10 years. Covers may include: • clean-up costs imposed by regulators, including those incurred by the regulator itself• remediation of own premises, third-party premises, land, water and natural resources (including loss of use and diminution in value)• liability arising under the Environmental Liability Directive• prevention costs • historical contamination• transportation risks• business interruption• legal costs• site investigation, emergency response costs, restoration costs and compensation• contractors' liability • contractual liabilities in sale and purchase agreements• lenders' requirements• change of law.Environmental liability and pollution cover can be quite complex. Organisations should know their exposures under both the Regulations stated above and other relevant legislation, have preventative measures in place and, for full protection, speak to their insurance broker about their specific insurance needs under legislation and otherwise.

Jakarta. The 10th Singapore Toy, Game, & Comic Convention will hit Marina Bay Sands Expo this weekend, featuring an exciting lineup of guests and personalities.
One of them is Marvel Comics editor and talent scout C. B. Cebulski. Budding artists will get an opportunity to have their portfolios reviewed by Cebulski himself. Shortlisted candidates will get to meet him for a one-on-one interview.
James C. Mulligan, one of Disney's top-selling artists whose works have been collected by famous personalities such as Hugh Hefner, Dick Van Dyke and Brad Pitt, will also be at the convention.
Joining the star-studded lineup is Emmy-winning writer and illustrator Frank Cho, known for his newspaper comic strip series "Liberty Meadows."
Others include cover artist Arthur Adams, Marvel Cinematic Universe film illustrator Adi Granov, penciler and cover artist Joyce Chin, as well as "Kabuki" author David Mack.
Visitors will also get to see performances by Japanese dance vocal groups Color Pointe and Tokyo Clear's, along with composer Yunomi feat. Nicamoq, producer group Redshift and DJ MarGenal.

Visitors can also buy exclusive action figures and collectibles from Marvel Universe, DC Universe and the "Star Wars" saga, among others.
Live eSports Tournaments

Two Singapore qualifier finals of the ROG Masters 2017 tournaments will take center stage at the GGXP, playing DOTA 2 and CS:GO.

There will also be a livestream of the Singapore qualifiers on the ROG Masters website.
The GGXP center stage will host the semifinals and final of Vainglory Championship 2017-Southeast Asia on Sunday (10/09).
Experience the Force
Fans of "Star Wars" will have a chance to be transported to a galaxy far, far away because there will be a special area dedicated to the franchise, filled with fan-built vehicle replicas, games and collectibles.

In addition, larger-than-life fan-made props have been flown in specially for this exhibition, including Rey's Speeder, signed by film director J.J. Abrams, and a film replica of the interior of the Millennium Falcon.
Visitors to the convention can also attend an official afterparty at VLV Singapore on Sunday from at 9 p.m. onwards, featuring popular Japanese guest DJs, Camellia, kors k, kradness and Ryu.

Schools play a crucial role in nurturing children. India being a pluralistic society with diverse population calls for variety of schools to cater to heterogeneous populace. In Hyderabad there are numerous schools including the ones that teach about Islam. With considerable NRI Muslims who have global exposure, the demand for schools to teach more than just Arabic with contemporary curriculum is rapidly growing.
A group of highly qualified individuals in Hyderabad, realizing the contemporary demand, came up with a new conceptual school to offer "finest and holistic quality education with Islamic orientation". They are experimenting with unique approach and method for educating young minds at their Insight International School, with the aim to take the idea to other cities in India as well.
The school, which came into existence two years ago with over 150 students in Shaikpet area of the city, has attracted hundreds more students in following years. Insight's Principal Khadeja thinks that with 24 distinctly qualified teaching staff, they are in a better position to nurture students to make them good human beings and valuable asset of the society.
Taking inspiration from universal Islamic teachings, at Insight they promise to "grooming (students) to lead the change" and develop leaders of tomorrow. When asked how that would be achieved, Ms. Khadeja responded with a firm belief: "Islamically oriented international education along with our gardener's approach will help us in achieving the goal".
At Insight, students are taught in an innovative way perhaps Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood would love it. Specially trained teachers at Insight nurture talent and humanness among students with their 'gardener's approach'. A teacher, when asked to about the approach, said: "we enable students to become what they are naturally inclined towards rather than conditioning them".
Her answer reminds me of British novelist Charles Dickens who satirized the education system during 'Industrialization' period (in his novel Hard Times) whose purpose was not more than to: "Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else."
Unlike 'manufacturing' approach that fails to consider intrinsic drives of a child, gardener's approach ensures children get required support and polishing to prosper in a natural way. British actor Ralph Fiennes once said: "Gardeners are good at nurturing, and they have a great quality of patience, they're tender."
Islam being a universal religion gives a worldview and is concerned with every area of human activity. Prof. MKM Zafar, one of the key persons to propel the Insight idea, said students must have a universal worldview. The reason they want to teach students Islamic values at Insight is that in future these students should serve society in a better way. To achieve this goal, they are integrating Islamic teachings with arts & sciences, and utilizing latest educational pedagogies and technologies in tune with global standards.
Insight director Syed Sadatullah Husaini, who has a track record of community leadership, has been actively trying to take the idea to other cities as well. For him, teaching students to earn hefty packages to live comfortable life is a limited purpose of life. With impressive human values, excellent international education and remarkable leadership qualities, he believes students could do tremendous service to the society while also leading a cozy life.
Being an Islamica oriented school, Insight is trying to give equal emphasis on development of character and values as on academics and knowledge. It has designed special programs for inculcating truthfulness, love, brotherhood, humanity, respect, honesty, service to poor and needy and other such values.
Students learn everything from mathematic to language with a sense of purpose and a mission to serve humanity. Through the sports and activities, they are being taught the values of team spirit, brotherhood, cooperation, support and discipline. In addition, teachers inculcate a strong faith in Almighty God and a sense of accountability among students.
While there are other international schools in the city with CBSE syllabus, Insight offers IGCSE (Cambridge) syllabus which has over 70 different subjects along with academically sound evaluation mechanism. Teachers at Insight are trained to teach every lesson of every subject with strong integration of values and principles of Islam.
Insight's technologically well-equipped air conditioned classrooms feature smart boards and a pleasant ambiance. Within a short span of two years, the school bagged two prestigious awards – Olympiad and International School Award (ISA); thanks to our qualified and experienced staff selected after rigorous multi-round testing, reacts Ms. Khadeja with a smile.
When asked why she enrolled her child in Insight, Dr. Hajra from Tolichowki Colony said she missed the opportunity to learn Arabic while being a convent school student and now wanted to ensure her child learns Arabic and Urdu along with other necessary subjects and values. A growing number of educated Muslims who have succeeded in life have similar thoughts and they think this kind of education would make a huge difference in the later stages of life.
As Islam and Islamic teachings have been gaining significance worldwide, especially post 9/11, there's plenty of scope for schools like Insight to prosper and flourish. People from other communities in India are also interested in universal teachings of Islam. Better management and quality assurance in such schools would attract more students from other communities as well.

So, going on wait list was the best thing for my family. Uprooting during the holidays would not have worked. However, now I'm thinking about my potential future job all the time. It's both incredibly exciting and a little nerve racking to be so close to achieving that life long dream!
This morning we started a "Dimes for Disney (Relocation)" jar. I figure that every bit helps and who's gonna miss a bunch of dimes? Quarters? … I might actually miss that too much. LOL
Tonight I'm bartending at work so at least that is a solid distraction. 😂
I'll say this as well… My husband homeschools son and is a stay at home dad so the move is pretty easy for us as a family unit.😀

Just Foreign Policy Welcomes CPC Call to Postpone Iran Sanctions Legislation
Just Foreign Policy welcomes the call of the Congressional Progressive Caucus on the bipartisan leadership of the Senate Banking Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee to postpone enacting new sanctions legislation against Iran.
As the CPC notes, enacting new sanctions on Iran now would undermine U.S. diplomats, derail U.S.-Iran talks and put the U.S. on a path towards war.
It's become more obvious than ever in recent days that Republican efforts in Congress to undermine diplomacy cannot succeed without significant Democratic support. We particularly urge Senator Sherrod Brown, the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee, and Elliot Engel, the ranking member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, to heed the CPC call.

Call Ben Cardin NOW against new Iran sanctions!
Earlier today, a Just Foreign Policy activist delivered a petition to Sen. Ben Cardin's office in Baltimore calling on him to support diplomacy with Iran by opposing any new sanctions legislation, including the Kirk-Menendez bill.
A petition calling for Sen. Cardin to oppose any effort to punish the Palestinians for joining the International Criminal Court was also delivered.
Even if you have already called before, support the petition delivery by calling Ben Cardin's Baltimore office NOW at (410) 962-4436 and saying
I support the petition being delivered to your office today calling on Sen. Cardin to support diplomacy with Iran by opposing any new sanctions legislation, including the Kirk-Menendez bill. As President Obama said in his State of the Union address, new sanctions legislation "will all but guarantee that diplomacy fails."
I also support the petition calling on Sen. Cardin to oppose any effort to punish the Palestinians for using international law to protect their human rights by joining the International Criminal Court. That means he should not support any effort to cut aid to the Palestinians, including Sen. Rand Paul's bill (S.34) and the proposed Gillibrand-Rubio letter.
When you're done, please report your call here:

New Iran sanctions imminent—Immediate action needed!
Sen. Robert Menendez announced that he plans to introduce new Iran sanctions legislation before the State of the Union next Tuesday.
The Obama administration is adamant that any new sanctions—even those with a trigger to become active upon a break in the talks—would violate the Joint Action Plan that has limited Iran's nuclear program, inviting Iran to also violate the agreement and "blow up" the talks, as National Security Advisor Susan Rice has said.
The State Department announced that the President will veto any new Iran sanctions bill, but Menendez is looking to recruit a veto-proof 67 vote majority to circumvent the President. Menendez will try to recruit your Senators—which is why they need to hear from you!
Call your Senators TODAY at (202) 224-3121 and say
I urge Sen. _______ to OPPOSE any new Iran sanctions legislation. The Obama administration has made clear that any new sanctions bill—even if it includes a trigger—would violate the Joint Action Plan, which has successfully limited Iran's nuclear program. Doing so would invite Iran to also violate the plan and, as Susan Rice has put it, "blow up" the talks and any hope of resolving this issue diplomatically.
When you're done, report your call below.
Call your Senator TODAY: Don't Punish Palestinians for Joining ICC
Last Wednesday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon announced that Palestine would become a member of the International Criminal Court on April 1. That same day, Sen. Rand Paul introduced legislation to cut off US aid to the Palestinian Authority— about $400 million a year—if the Palestinians don't withdraw their application to join the ICC. And on Friday, Sens. Lindsey Graham, Chuck Schumer, Bob Menendez, and Mark Kirk released a statement saying that the Palestinian decision to join the ICC was "deplorable, counterproductive, and will be met with a strong response by the United States Congress."
In less than a week, Just Foreign Policy has collected nearly 15,000 signatures on a petition calling for Sen. Paul to withdraw his bill. But your Senators are also getting pressure to join Sen. Paul and others in trying to bully the Palestinians to withdraw their ICC application—which is why they need to hear from you NOW.
Call your Senators TODAY at (202) 224-3121 and say
Sen. ____ should not support Rand Paul's S. 34—or any other bill, resolution, letter, or statement—that tries to bully the Palestinians into withdrawing their application to the ICC by cutting US funding to the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinians shouldn't be punished for trying to use international law to protect their human rights. The UN has accepted Palestine's application to the ICC, and the US should respect this decision.
When you're done with your call, report it below.
In 2015, Let's Not Punish the Palestinians for Joining the ICC
A proposed New Year's Resolution: in 2015, let's not punish the Palestinians for joining the International Criminal Court. No doubt some Members of Congress - presumably, the ones who aren't busy resigning for felony tax evasion or defending themselves for schmoozing with white supremacists - will try to gin up an outrage festival and demand sanctions on the Palestinians for exercising their rights.
What we accomplished in Burlington
With Republicans taking over the Senate in the new year already threatening to impose new sanctions on Iran—which would almost certainly sabotage the ongoing diplomacy—it's more important than ever for pro-diplomacy Senators to speak out in support of the extension in the talks.
That's why, since the extension was announced on November 24, Just Foreign Policy has been urging Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren to make their support known.
Earlier today, I—along with Vermont physician David Hobbs and JFP volunteer Anke Voss—met with Philip Fiermonte, Sen. Sanders' State Director, at the Senator's Burlington office. We delivered petitions with over 150 Vermont signatures and informed Fiermonte that more than 250 Vermonters have sent letters to the Senator over the last few weeks urging him to make a public statement.
Help us continue to defend diplomacy in the new year by making a $15 (or more!) tax-deductible donation today!
During the meeting, Dr. Hobbs—who came 20 miles to attend—urged Sen. Sanders to speak up for peace, noting the terrible consequences that recent wars have had on the peoples of the Middle East.
Fiermonte acknowledged our concerns and read from a message which Sen. Sanders' Washington staff had sent ahead of the meeting, saying that Sen. Sanders supports continued diplomatic engagement with Iran, supports the extension of the interim agreement with Iran, and opposes new sanctions now that would undermine the talks—exactly what we were asking him to say. Fiermonte promised to send a letter to me after the holidays, which will help us in our fight to defend diplomacy.
Dec 29: Join our petition drop at the Burlington office of Sen. Bernie Sanders!
On Monday, December 29, at noon, I'm going to be delivering petitions from Vermont residents to Senator Sanders' Burlington office, urging him to speak up now in favor of diplomacy with Iran.
If you live in Vermont, I'm hoping that you'll join me! Here's the information:
December 29, noon
1 Church St, Suite 300
Burlington, VT 05401
If you're on Facebook, you can sign up to attend the event and invite others using with our Facebook event.
If you're not on Facebook, no worries! You can sign up to attend the event by filling out the form below.
Even if you can't come to the petition delivery, you can still participate! Sign and share our petition with folks in Vermont ahead of the delivery.
Thanks for all you do to help defend diplomacy – and happy holidays!
Can Congress End the Cuba Embargo? Many Republicans Want the Embargo to Fall
A left-right coalition, supported by the president and public opinion, could successfully push Congress to end the Cuba embargo.
Can Republicans nostalgic for the Cold War block President Obama from taking executive actions to improve US diplomatic and economic ties with Cuba? Could a Republican-led Congress vote to end the US embargo? Some Republican leaders were quick to denounce President Obama's announcement that the United States was restoring ties with Cuba. But how many divisions do these Cold War dead-enders control?
On whether Republicans can follow through on threats to block the president, Associated Press is skeptical:
Call your Senator TODAY against US ground troops in Iraq & Syria
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee (SFRC) is expected to vote soon on an authorization for the use of military force against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. It is virtually certain that some authorization of force will pass. But the committee will consider limits on the authorization of force, and meaningful limitations could pass.
If you have a Senator on the committee, you are in a unique position to influence the vote.
Sen. Tim Kaine has a proposal that would prohibit the use of ground troops except for rescue missions and "limited operations against high-value targets" – that is, against terrorist leaders who directly threaten the United States. It would expire in one year unless renewed by Congress. It would also require the White House to give legislators a list of groups that might be covered by the authorization because they are associated with the Islamic State.
Call your Senator at (202) 224-3121. You can say something like,
I urge Senator X to support Sen. Kaine's proposals to limit the authorization of the use of force against ISIS, including by prohibiting the use of U.S. ground forces in combat in Iraq and Syria except for rescue missions and against groups that directly threaten the U.S.
When you've made your call, please report it below.

Dynasty Warriors chief Akihiro Suzuki has confirmed claims that the Wii U has lower CPU power than the PS3 and Xbox360, and admitted that this poses a real challenge for developers.
That's just ridiculous. The anonymous source did say that and was telling the truth despite a lot of other developers talking about how powerful the system is. I foresee trouble with the Wii you and the CPU creating a bottleneck. It's not more powerful than the xbox and ps3 fundamentally. It won't be able to do things like in killzone where there are mass amounts of squad mates aiding you and such. Or like in lair where over a thousand enemies are on screen. I think even the ps vita is better than the Wii u.
The Wii u is a disappointment. This is suppose to last until 2019 when people will be able to travel in petrol powered automobile. I don't think so
After the title, there's actually an interview. Shocking, isn't it?
"However, the developer also went on to praise the capability of the Wii U from a visual standpoint, claiming it has a clear edge over existing consoles in that department."
"From a visual standpoint, based on the performance of the Wii U, we knew the game had the capability of having much better graphics than games on PS3 and Xbox 360," he added. "Make no mistake, from a visual standpoint, it is able to produce better graphics."
I can't wait for the Cinderella ball to see all the spinning fanatics will do. It can do better things graphically but the CPU is rubbish
Sorry, trolls aren't invited to the Cinderella ball.
good job sir mr_mike
voted for intelligent
If I'm not mistaking theTurbographx 16 had a 8bit cpu but a 16bit graphic processor and it had awesome.games like Blazing lazers & Bonk to name a few. Hell the SNES cpu was much slower than the Genesis and we all know the games it produced. So the WiiU will be fine.
So a few character models on the screen that will look minimally btr than current gen justifies the lack of polygon count it can handle per frame? Yes maybe they can have shinier objects here n there but the CPU being weaker means that future ports will suffer & i HIGHLY doubt that wii u will have lead development for multiplat games.. Even if it ever happens to outshine current gen, nx gen is right behind this wii u bro.. If it struggles to do things on 6-7 yr old systems, what do u think will happen when the big guns are brought out? I know nintendo will take the time with 1st party to make em run, play, & look great.. However another round of mario kart, mario land, & starfox looking better is something fans want, not the whole gaming community.. 3rd party games are critical to a consoles success & they way things are going, nintendo will b the only ones selling anything on their consoles & that can spell SEGA.. & Kabala ^^^ what happened to turbo graphics 16? Wheres its franchises?
Hahaha all of these replies from you are class bubble up!
b-b-but da blast-processing?!?
classic commercial haha:
While the CPU power is undoubtedly a disadvantage, the Wii U can produce stronger visuals, and is obviously quite innovative from a gameplay standpoint and the way it approaches gaming as a whole - just as the Wii was.
Yeah it really is innovative, you can now play games in a different room when the console is in the other with a tablet controller It is mind boggling really the innovation and the massive advances nintendo made from gamecube, to wii to wiiu
So we go with a focus on graphics > capability?
I'm not sold on the Wii U, but if that's all it's going to bring to the table as far as processing power, that's not selling me on the idea.
I feel sorry for this DEV. I feel even more sorry for those that actually believe him though.
And they have finally joined the stage with sony in terms of hate they get
Dude, stop hating. Also, you're gonna loose your bubbles. You've got three left before you join the one bub club :L
Well if you look at the CPU. Standard 4 core Power7 runs at 100W + the GPU which is anywhere from 20-45W.
Nintendo wanted low power usage so they gutted the CPU to make it run at a low wattage. I don't even think PS3/X360 CPUs run at that low Wattage to keep whole system under 75 watts. When I saw WiiU only runs at 75W it made me worry a bit, but graphically it should be full powered GPU. So it shouldn't be to bad on it. Power of the CPU should not really be to far behind PS3/X360 if true.
The better the chip the less power it uses. Smaller dyes mean less power too. A chip today can do more with 75watts than a chip 9 years ago could do with 125watts.
That's what I am trying to say. :P Power7 is definitely more efficient than Cell/X360 CPU. Even if it has less Gflops/Wattage the insides are likely faster improved design.
Sorry but that isnt what it looks like. You say they gutted the CPU, but that isnt the case. It doesnt need to be gutted to be superior power wise.
a 36nm chip can do more than a 45nm chip but it uses less power. DDR3 RAM can do more than DDR2 RAM but it uses less power to do so.
Running on 75watts is nothing to worry about when compared to chips designed in 2004-2005.
i think the Graphics chip is based on the E6760 that runs at 35W.
the graphic chip seems very capable especially compared to whats on PS3 and X360.
Possibly Stuntman. One thing to note though is that any GPU could be a GPGPU from AMD. Since they all support OpenCL. If you take E6760 and compare it to AMD 6750M. Its roughly the same part. So we know where the base for the E6760 comes from essentially. 4.8 Gigapixels is rather small transition up from PS3/X360's 4.4. Very similar to a PSVita/PS3 comparison. As PSVita supports 4.0 Gigapixels with its GPU. What does Gigapixels have to do with Graphics? Well it makes a difference believe it or not.
I personally was hoping for something a little stronger around 800-1000 Gflop range. I mean sure E6760 can do a little more than 4850 with graphics, but that is only due to the fact that graphics have progressed naturally over the years. Comparing it to PS3 or X360 GPUs we only see a small gain over them if E6760 is true. Now even with a low-end 7000 series Mobile GPU though they could have a higher Gigapixel, Gflops, and Gtextile rate that would be decent at a lower TDP.
I wouldn't count out the possibility that Nintendo went with a mid-range 7000 series Mobile GPU converted to an embedded GPU. I am thinking something with 9-10.x Gigapixel rate, in the 20s Textile rate, and 600-1000 Gigaflops. All while having under 40 TDP. Which puts the GPU in range to match AMD 4850 exactly with slightly more or less power depending. I believe personally going with AMD E6760 is too low, but that is just me and its specs are less than what a typical AMD 4850 GPU and Mobile GPU would produce.
I believe GPGPU based off AMD 7750M is the worst case scenario that would make any sense that Nintendo would aim to produce. Which is only a slight bump from E6760, but has much higher specs and a lower TDP.
"From a visual standpoint, based on the performance of the Wii U, we knew the game had the capability of having much better graphics than games on PS3 and Xbox 360," he added. "Make no mistake, from a visual standpoint, it is able to produce better graphics."
Graphically the Wii U will out-class these current consoles! Once developers learn how to utilize the extra RAM and GPGPU Power, the Wii U will start to show it's true colors. Keep holding onto ridiculous misconceptions about the Wii U is bottle-necked, the only thing that is bottle-necked is PS3 RAM, which doesn't even allow cross-game chat!
Wii U doesnt have cross game chat either & its 6 years NEWER! Everything coming from everywhere has been negative about this console.. Clinging on to a few plusses & ignoring the minuses.. Did u even mention he said "a lot of enemies on screen, the PERFORMANCE is affected"??? So now nintendo fans are automatically graphics whores??? Gameplay is key remember? i guess the wii u really is a wii in HD.. Same limitations with better graphics & a single touch gamepad with 3-5 hour battery life.. A cheap pro controller w virtually no rumble, no dvd or blu ray media, handicapped network, handicapped 3rd party M rated software, & last gen multiplayer wii mote support.. But hey, the graphics will look btr than wii
I hate to break it to you, but the majority of cars in existence are petrol powered. Gas and petrol are the same thing. Dumbass.
" It won't be able to do things like in killzone where there are mass amounts of squad mates aiding you and such. Or like in lair where over a thousand enemies are on screen. I think even the ps vita is better than the Wii u. "
Again, you're pretending to know anything about hardware or how you can utilize it.
WE GET IT. You don't like the Wii-U. You want it to fail. Go cry more, but not here.
FFS dude.
"I think even the ps vita is better than the Wii u"
You should be ashamed of yourself.
you have got to be the most negative person i have seen on this site, why so much hate?
and i don't know why you seem to think you know everything about a console that you had no part in creating, maybe you should just do what most normal people do and play it for yourself when its released, how can you form such opinions without even trying the thing?
we all know wii U wont be true next gen, but who cares, thats not what gaming is all about, i love great graphics, but weather wii U is inferior or superior makes no difference to me, wii U is simply what the wii should have been in the first place, and im looking forward to seeing what it can do without comparing it to other consoles.
finally a real HD zelda game? im sold!
the thought of finally playing a real HD mario kart game against my friends is awesome, ive been waiting for that for ages!
like it or not nintendo offers things that the other companies dont care about, like family friendly games, just good old fun casual games, im over every game being a dude with a gun that shoots shit.
I hope you realize that you just gave WiiU fanboys an excuse to completely side-step the issue presented by the article. The responses to your comment, the first of the page, will probably extend down the entirety of the first page.
If you're going to troll, at least say something that won't derail the article that already has a negative thing to say about the thing you're trolling against.
Lol at you saying the vita is more powerful than the wiiU.
My 3rd gen intel i7 is more powerful than the vita alone. No doubt about that. Pretty insane how my i7 can run gotham city impostors maxed out with more than 60pfps on my toshiba laptop.
"The full interview with Suzuki is over at the Eurogamer site now."
The same Eurogamer that blatantly misquoted SEGA's statements about the WiiU? Well, that explains the title.
It's either japanese devs arent quoted properly or translated correctly.
At some point it' going to look like no one really knows this systems true capability.
Or maybe they know how to use more than 80% of the current gens cpu power and only 20% of the wiiu.
Or the current gens cpu are more powerful than wiiu
Am kinda bored with all these wii U articles,
Wii U doesn't have enough CPu, wii U is more powerful than 360 etc etc
I have pre ordered the console and I will see for myself it is not my problem if developers don't like a challenge anymore. PS3 has these kinds of things where they were "struggling" but people got to grips with it and now it is impressive. Give the Wii U a chance I would say that not even 1% on N4G are developers so it is no skin of your nose.
Less CPU or not, we surely won't be getting anything groundbreaking from this developer, especially of Dynasty Warriors fame.
It doesn't matter if it's the dw devs or rockstar devs, if it is a true statement then it is a true statement.
Great headline (did the whole double take and everything! xD).
I've already pre-ordered the Wii U, so at this point - I'm already onboard with whatever Nintendo has in store for their next generation console.
Given all the information we've received about the Wii U's different game development engine licenses - shouldn't we be content, at some point? If you're worried about "developers not supporting the Wii U..." then don't be.
Rest assured, the Wii U will be heavily by developers (probably mostly indies, but you get the point).
If the WII U produces better graphics, why don't the games that have been shown, show this.
Zombi U looks like a PS3/360 launch game.
The sell for the WII U is the controller, the same as it was with the WII.
"If the WII U produces better graphics, why don't the games that have been shown, show this.
Zombi U looks like a PS3/360 launch game. "
Because developers are still developing with a PS3/360 pipeline.
These are launch title games that look as good as 3rd generation PS3/360 titles. Titles that have been optimized and coded for the for those systems.
As for ZombiU looking like a PS3/360 launch game, go back and look at those launch titles. and think about your statement again. In fact, take a look at Perfect Dark and Resistance. Both fps titles released during the launch of PS3/360
Perfect Dark Zero:
Resistance - Fall of man:
If you feel the quality of those videos are not good enough, feel free to search for better versions and you'll still see that ZombiU looks much better.
Also, most 3rd party titles have been confirmed to run in 1080p.
Thanks for the video links! But seriously something has to be mentally wrong with people to think that the likes of ZombiU looks no better than PS3&360 launch titles...
LoL well to be honist ps3 devs said ps3 was pain work with look at the out come.
As for this IBM Processor having less power watever that means guess meaning not as powerfull fast well i did bit research this CPU isnt all that bad.
Glad to see you did research. It's unfortunate that most people do not do this and therefore read heavily into quotes.
People wonder why PR are so careful when it comes to revealing things and what they allow developers to say. They realize that the general public are too lazy (for lack of a better term) to actually do research and try to understand why things are they way they are.
The general public takes things at face value.
With the Wii U's GPU focused architect, it just simply means that a game optimized to use the cpu will not perform well on a console with a GPU focus.
This particular developer has a mulitplatform game optimized for the cpu, so of course it's not going to be on par with the cpu focused PS3/360.
If only more people would take the time to educate themselves like you have just demonstrated, the gaming space would be a much better place in terms of understanding hardware!
Thankyou 3rdDimension
Soon as i read the headline i had a facepalm moment recently seems to be a few articles ready to knock the wii U.
The amd gpu im sure will live upto this gen visuals and who knows maybe even next gen.
With Certain amounts of DX11 on this gpu chip Nintendo had next gen in mind out the box.
Its about peoples choice end of the day but dont come here folks knock a console thats not even out give it 6 months after realese.
This time around i think nintendo are getting it right. Just like NES,SNES, and start of N64 before pokemon im talking about core gaming not just casual.
Glad to see someone who gets it.
Bubbles to you fine sir...
@hiredhelp, we don't know what the CPU is but it's confirmed to not be Power7.
As BitbyDeath said the Power 7 was stated not to be the processor in the Wii U.
Not to mention a site mentioned the Wii U having a GPGPU, a link on the front page also mentions it, but is not the confirmation.
I think that The GPGPU being refereed to might very well be an ATI APU or an NVIDIA CUDA based GPGPU.
Either of these combinations would prove more powerful and yet quite difficult to program for initially much like, but not quite to the same extent of the Cell situation in the PS3.
AC3 is a demanding game, runs fine on Wii U.
Could it be these guys are poor developers, using the X360 as lead development platform, trying to load scruffy code over to the Wii U's GPGPU design and then blame a weak CPU for their lack of programming talent and time to learn the Wii U before rushing this out for launch?
Very well said ..bubble up!;)
anyone that goes to Tom's Hardware knows that a shitty dual core with a good GPU will run circles around a super overclocked i7 with a junk GPU.
He didn't say his game wouldn't run fine. And there's nothing to say that Ubisoft didn't feel the same about ACIII.
He didn't say the system was weak, just that it presented a bit of a challenge. Isn't that what new hardware tends to do, anyway?
@Samtheseed: I don't even think the 360 had anything to do with this actually. Seeing as how this is primarily a Japanese targeted game, I'm sure the PS3 was the lead platform and they probably wanted to throw the game onto the WiiU in time for launch. Most western developers or developers in general that place the 360 as the lead platform, praise the WiiU in its near effortless ability to get games up and running with ease... This is the first developer to say otherwise, the only other developer that commented on the ability of the CPU was also a Japanese based developer. In which I'm starting to see a pattern here! Pure Laziness
Fucking fan boys i have a 360 ps3 and wii and i preorder wiiu. I have all the console for the games not for their power. Fan boys are hurting the industry.
First off this is sad (This article that is) Has anyone even thought for a second while reading this and gone " Well how old is the cpu's in the 360 and ps3?"
Cpu's architecture has changed ALOT in the last 6-7 years as well as gpu's etc.
From what i have read about the wiiU it seems balanced but it also seems like a low-end pc with a ipad (Not saying that's a bad thing i like the look of zombiU it seems fun).
Wii U maybe Hard to program for right now but it will have the lead on ps4 and xbox 720. So it could be the lead platform for multiplat titles going forward like xbox 360 MAJORITY of the time held led over ps3. I can admit I prefer ps3 over xbox 360 BUT I cannot deny multiplat games (TO ME) look better and play better on xbox. But as long as Developers make a good version on ps3 I'm cool with that. So just enjoy the games and if you like ALL THE SYSTEM THEN BUY THEM ALL. Life is what YOU make it!!! psn: cedaridge / xbl: cedar4Thunder
Dynasty Warriors? You mean where the enemies just run at you and you mow them down? As if that takes any processing power.
@element Yeah genius the game still has to render all of those images on screen. But since most games maybe have 5-10 enemies on screen at one times.
Most idiots assume it takes not much if any processing power to have a screen full of enemies.
"You mean where the enemies just run at you and you mow them down?" Yeah just like they do in many fps games. Sheep running to the slaughter.
And i can see another game having difficulty with the wii u, edf
The PS2 games also had many characters on screen. So not sure why you're even mentioning that. The enemies are dumb as hell.
they f'''ed 3ds version (launch one) and now are having problems with Wii U.. please learn some architecture first
Well it runs both black ops 2 and fifa 13 with better graphics and in 1080p/60fps and it handles hd graphics on the controller in 480p Hmmmm and this is right out the gate before devs have even scratched the surface yet the cpu seems abit slower Hmmmm i say the cpu is a 4 core powerpc with watson tech thrown in and the best features of power7 and clocked at 3.4ghz on final retail unit.
But even if its got a 3.0ghz triple core with 32mb EDRAM shared across cpu/gpgpu it still demilishes it as the gpgpu has compute shader 11 and that basically does more than a cpu can do anyway ?
it was designed so that the GPU helps out with CPU task and vice versa making it more efficient.
all these articles that are coming out are not helping the fans of Nintendo maintain confidence of their preordered Wii U. i am a gamer and i care more about my gaming experience than how much power the Wii U has. i have preordered my Wii U as soon as the news broke and im not turning my back on Nintendo now after i have put my trust in the Wii U. i don't own a PS3/360 or any other gaming system and im not a technician of anything so i cant say anything about the processor/power or whatnot. all i know is that i am a Nintendo guy and i am not cancelling my Wii U preorder on the account of articles being negative against the Wii U.
i mean when a new system comes out, sure developers are going to have negative thoughts due to the lack of what they do not know on the inside of the Wii U. what they do know is that their games can run on them just fine and from all the videos that i have seen by the demos, games like Zombie U which is build around the system as a whole is a good game. the game caters to all areas of play like one bite death, the survival kit, and a different way to approach games. so basically i say all that to say this. these articles can come out all they want, i am not giving up on nintendo as they are always innovative.
well graphics all use GPU now so aren't as reliant on the CPU.
It's also a CPU from 2008-2009.....not a CPU from 2002-2003 like the xbox 360 is using.
think about it.
another stinking rotten lie about the wii u CPU. have you seen the extra polygons on batman and the draw distance etc, in arkham city. Wii u is a breath of fresh air unlike the other two, half the games are shooters snooze.

So instead of having 1,000 enemies onscreen at who all look exactly the same, we'll only have 500 enemies onscreen who look exactly the same?
Oh no. The horror. How will I ever go on living.

Join our continuing Oakland Raiders pre-draft coverage when Jerry McDonald hosts a live chat on Wednesday at noon.
Jon Becker
wis can be had later i think. if wis is out our guy then trade back
RockieRaider, that Aaron Rogers fell and led his team to a Superbowl Championship outweighs Quinn & Clausen falling.
I think the QBs fall but will all go in the late 1st early second round.
Way too many teams need a QB, Kevin Kolb can only play for one team.
joni i agree, we should trade back if Wiz2 and a couple others on our board, a.k.a, Kaepernick, Little, Harris, Wilson, are still available.
Chris Simms, Josh McCown, Matt Schaub, Charlie Frye, Andrew Walter, Charlie Whitehurst, Brodie Croyle, Trent Edwards, Kevin O'Connell & Colt McCoy were all recent 3rd round QB's selected.
compare their college careers to a guy like Kaepernick …
Retribution, he could be there at #81
I would love to see Raiders take Marcus Cannon in Round 5. if he falls that far due to his diagnosis. Raiders need to check with his doctors to see how serious his condition really is.
He would still be a bargain in Round 5.
if players are able to be traded during the draft I see Mr. Murphy and/or Mr. Howard being traded.
Weird rumors going around now that the Titans like Dalton perhaps with their 1st pick and the Fins may consider Kap with their #15 pick?
Weird….if true, teams who need QB's are desperate and don't think some of those QB's will be there in Roudn 2 for them to pick.
Aaron Rogers fell and led his team to a Superbowl Championship outweighs Quinn & Clausen falling
Rodgers had 3 full years on the bench behind future Hall-of-Fame QB Brett Favre
11x Pro Bowler & Super Bowl Champ
He's also had the luxury of Mike McCarthy as HC since 2006 when he was drafted in 2005.
If AR was drafted by Oakland, he'd probably be out of the league like Andrew Walter!
that was kind of a unique situation and that Packers Defense under Capers is TOUGH
Teams will fear having to play at the Overstock!
Mistic1 Tha Supavillain
Ill say it again drafting a qb in this draft makes no sense for the raiders. Unless your talking about taking a sniff at a 7th rd, or ufa.
The team is 8-8 and was an o-line short of the playoffs. With so many quality o-line players in the draft we have some flexibility with where we draft for the line. The secondary and Oline will be where this draft is focused.
Qb is not a need at all, and this is an extremely thin class. Your 2nd and 3rd rounder need to come in and play, not sit for a year or two like any project qb you would have to make a major reach to draft. Out side of newton & possibly kappy & gabbert, the rest of the qb class is extremely flawed, & the drop off is so severe that it isnt worth wasting a pick.
By the way locker and mallet are terrible. So lets fix the o-line beef up the secondary & maybe look at luxury picks (qb) late in the draft, meaning 6th round or later
Stop compairing JaMarcus to Newton…it just sounds pretty ignorant!

I see 9 OL & 6 CB's off the board when Oakland is on the clock …
3 or 4 QB's
4 or 5 WR's
what to do ???

Debo is a mindless dolt that cant comprehend a simple overhead projector joke. I gave up on that tard a few posts a go.
Now back to the O-Line debate. My thought is that you want your first pick to be able to contribute right away and since we do not have a 1st round pick I think our second round pick has to be treated as a first rounder and be someone that can contribute right away.
Tard???? Kind of tacky, don't ya think? I believe the proper term is "mentally challenged". And what an original take about picking a guy that can "contribute right away". Where'd you get that, Mayock or McShay? Can't you do better than that sheep?
here's what i think we should ultimately do, and i think it's very very plausible:
trade 2012 1st rounder + 2011 3rd rounder (48) to new england
receive new englands 2011 1st rounder (28) + 2011 2nd rounder (60)
(new england holds the 17th and 33rd overall as well)
*depending on how players go off the board
pick (28) OT Derrek Sherrod/OT Gabe Carimi*
pick (48) QB Colin Kaepernick
pick (60) OG Stefan Wisneiski/OT James Carpenter*
pick (81) S/CB Marcus Gilchrest/S/CB Chimdi Chekwa*
pick (113) TE Jordan Cameron
that's my wish list
Sorry to ruffle your feather DeBLOW but as I now see its pretty easy to do.
If you could read you might have been able to comprehend that I was responding to an earlier post….now the tard reference seems accurate.
I cant remember a blogger on this site ever being concerned about being "PC" But hey I guess it was all your feeble mind could come up with.
Do you still need help figuring out the overhead projector reference or did you ask your special ED counselor to explain it to you?
@Irjonny, was i supposed to say our 1st and 2nd?n Our 1st and 3rd? #48 is our 2nd..
*it supposed
yep oopsie
what do you guys think??

*********this is what i meant to post*******
In general the idea of a trade is good imo! Not sure what value the 2012 picks have though, and there might be a run for the Pat pick which could inflate the price.. But if we could get a trade with our 2012 1st and a trade of 2nd it would be a good thing imo! Like the picks as well! Except i would prefer Franklin over Wiz in the 2nd.. Think Wiz is a great player, and a hard worker as well, but on tape he just seems too much like a ZBS guy, having trouble with stronger linemen and powerful bullrushes /Dareus for instance.. Also he lacks a mean streak imo.. But that said, i wouldnt be too upset seeing him come in, he is a high character guy and works his ass off, gotta appreciate that!
Dont think we could do that trade – our 1st next year has less value than theirs this year because of the uncertainty and some teams wanting up to get a player they have seen fall before the pause.. Would love it if it happened, but dont think its possible.. Maybe we could get their 1st for our 1st in 12 and a third, but a 2nd on top seems too much imo.. ?
But list looks good though! Help at Oline, TE as well and a project QB.. Dont think Kape will be there though, rumors have him mid-late 1st now, perhaps to Mia at 15, but in that case one of the top DBs might make sense..
