Manti Te'o girlfriend hoax: The story will get more strange
(CNN) — This may be the strangest twist in a tale overflowing with strangeness.
Manti Te'o's deceased girlfriend tweeted late Wednesday night.
On a Twitter account — not verified, naturally — the "girlfriend" said the "myths" about the story that have sports fans scratching their heads will be addressed Thursday.
The Twitter account appears to have deleted all the previous messages sent to Te'o and seems to have been created Thursday. It is unclear if the same person who sent tweets before from that account reactivated it after reports broke — or if someone else created the account.
Whatever the "girlfriend" says, she'll find it hard to top what's already come out about the Notre Dame linebacker and the woman he called the "love of my life."
First, sports website Deadspin published a piece dismissing as a hoax the existence of Te'o's girlfriend — the one who he said died around the same time as his real-life grandmother while his team marched toward the BCS National Championship Game.
Then Wednesday, the university held a press conference saying Te'o was the victim of a "elaborate hoax." And Te'o, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, released a statement saying he was embarrassed that he was the victim of a "sick joke."
The bizarre developments left many wondering if they, instead of Te'o, were led on — and whether the heralded linebacker was in on it.
"Te'o's story that he is completely innocent in this does not really ring true to us," Timothy Burke, co-author of the Deadspin article, told CNN's Anderson Cooper Wednesday night.
The hoax
The story of the girlfriend came to light in September as Notre Dame continued its improbable undefeated season and Te'o, a relentless tackler, was beginning to emerge as a frontrunner for the prestigous Heisman Trophy.
He led the Fighting Irish, amassing multiple double-digit tackle games and becoming the face of one of the best defenses in the nation.
In September and October, Te'o told interviewers that his girlfriend and his grandmother had died within hours of each other. The girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, a 22-year-old Stanford University student who had been in a serious car crash, died of leukemia, he said.
The twin losses inspired him to honor them with sterling play on the field, Te'o said. He led his team to a 20-3 routing of Michigan State after he heard the news.
"I miss 'em, but I know that I'll see them again one day," he told ESPN.
It was indeed a gripping interest story of determination. And the media ran with it.
No one bothered to seek out Kekua's family to ask how they felt about the way Te'o was honoring their daughter. Until Deadspin, acting on an anonymous e-mail it received last week, started poking around.
"What do you do when you first want to know something, you Google it, right?" Burke said on CNN. "And Google searches for 'Lennay Kekua' only showed up articles about her dying, and inspiring Mant'i Teo.
"There's no evidence of her existing in any way, other than, you know, after she had allegedly died. And we thought that was a little weird."
Te'o's grandmother did in fact die in September, Deadspin said. But there was no Social Security Administration record of Kekua's death.
The website called mortuaries and funeral homes in Carson, California, where Kekua was reportedly buried — but came up empty. They sought out the person whose picture had been presented as that of Kekua and tracked her down.
She was alive, didn't have leukemia and had never met Te'o.
"That sort of opened everything up," Burke said.
The revelation prompted the athletics director of Notre Dame to call a news conference Wednesday. There was no way for Te'o to know the relationship was a hoax because it had been conducted strictly online and on the phone, said director Jack Swarbrick.
The pair had set up several meetings, including in Hawaii, where Te'o grew up — but Kekua never showed, Swarbrick said.
The university said it did not know how many people were in on the ruse.
According to Swarbrick, Te'o received a call from a woman claiming to be his girlfriend in December, telling him she was not dead. Those calls continued but Te'o did not answer, he said.
Stanford University's registrar's office told CNN that it has never had a student registered in Kekua's name or using an alternate spelling.
"Outside of a few Twitter and Instagram accounts, there's no online evidence that Lennay Kekua ever existed," Deadspin contends. "There was no Lennay Kekua."
Her 'soulful eyes'
So, how did the two fall in love?
If the South Bend Tribune in Indiana — the newspaper of Notre Dame's home town — is to be believed, the two met — yes, met — after a football game in Palo Alto, California, in 2009.
"Their stares got pleasantly tangled, then Manti Te'o extended his hand to the stranger with a warm smile and soulful eyes," the paper gushed. "They could have just as easily brushed past each other and into separate sunsets. Te'o had plenty to preoccupy himself that November weekend in Palo Alto, Calif., back in 2009."
The article went on to say: "Lennay Kekua was a Stanford student and Cardinal football fan when the two exchanged glances, handshakes and phone numbers that fateful weekend three seasons ago."
Te'o's father, Brian, was quoted in the article: "They started out as just friends. Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there. But within the last year, they became a couple."
Media reports indicate the parents never met Kekua.
The newspaper said Wednesday it based the details on information from Te'o, his family members and coaches — and pulled the story from its website.
Te'o tried to clear things up with a statement Wednesday saying he "developed an emotional relationship with a woman I met online."
"We maintained what I thought to be an authentic relationship by communicating frequently online and on the phone, and I grew to care deeply about her."
In his statement, reported by ESPN, the star said, "To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating.
"It further pains me that the grief I felt and the sympathies expressed to me at the time of my grandmother's death in September were in any way deepened by what I believed to be another significant loss in my life."
Will the real Kekua please stand up?
Late Wednesday night, the story took another twist when ESPN found an NFL player who said he knew Kekua and that she is a real woman. The player, Reagan Mauia, an Arizona Cardinals fullback, told the sports network that he and Pittsburgh Steelers star Troy Polamalu met her
"This was before her and Manti," Mauia told ESPN. "I don't think Manti was even in the picture, but she and I became good friends. We would talk off and on, just checking up on each other kind of thing. I am close to her family."
Who's who on the Internet? Who knows
Then later Wednesday night came a tweet from @LennayKay — a Twitter handle that once was associated with Kekua.
"It isn't fair to drag Reagan and Troy into this.. a lot of truths and myths need to be addressed here, and they will be at noon PST tomorrow," the tweet said.
The other two tweets on the page were retweets from the verified account of Te'o.
"@LennayKay I miss you!" said a November 6 tweet from Te'o's said.
On September 12, Te'o tweeted "@LennayKay you will always be with me wherever I go!"
Now that may be true.

Actually, the more I look at GE, the less I like Hyde Park as the finish. The cemetery is across the road away from the waterfront (see red arrow below), and I don't see a match for the hills/mountains behind Phil or a break in the trees along the river at Hyde Park for the finish line area. There's also a major road right along the riverbank (yellow arrow) -- I don't see that in the promo clips, nor would they want to set up the finish along a roadway.
That's possible, Puddin -- can anyone pluck out a graveyard near the river on GE?
I think the L/K voiceover at the beginning of the AOL promo has been edited from at least 2 different speeches:1. We are the first female team ever to make the final three -- we have made history...2. Now we just have to be the first team to win the million dollars...I'm suspecting this because that testimonal at the beginning of their segment looks to be at the finish line area... and the second part of the statement makes no sense if they've already finished the race.BTW: Don't think I had the right bridge in Lyon after all -- with this close up, the pillars look different...
look at that picture and count legs, there are 10 pairs of legs waiting...A case could be made for the frat boys to the left or rob and kimberly to the right of the mat, but I don't think any of those could be bama...that would make me VERY happy to see them not win...what do yall think?and yes, i agree that none of them are wearing the right cloths, BUT it looks like it was sorta chilly with all the other teams wearing pants...so perhaps they threw on other shirts or pants etc?!

(CNN) — We lead busy lives. Though many tasks take a fraction of the time they used to, the feeling that there just aren't enough hours in the day to finish the job seems fairly prevalent. As a result, "I'm busy," is a popular refrain among professionals. One man, however, has decided to question this excuse.
Perhaps hearing the admission one too many times, New York-based journalist and cartoonist Tim Kreider was moved to write a personal essay casting doubt on our so-called "busy" lives. His piece, entitled "The Busy Trap", was published in the New York Times, and in his collection of essays, "We Learn Nothing: Essays".
"There's this idea… it's sort of a self-reassurance — that if your calendar is all booked up and full, then your life must be important. My theory is that people live in dread about what happens if they didn't have all their time filled up," says Kreider. "They would feel some sort of existential dread creeping in around the edges of their lives."
Travelers seem particularly prone to the trap. To help globetrotters extricate themselves, we've pooled advice from experts in the travel industry.

Road warrior's guide to peace and success
A guide to super-efficient packing
The time-management specialist
Julie Morgenstern is a professional organizer. Her talent? Teaching people to find that precious "me time."
"Everyone feels too busy, everyone struggles, whether (the dynamic is) 'world versus me,' or 'family time versus time for myself,'" she says.
In order to get a better handle on our schedules, Morgenstern recommends treating time like a tangible space.
"Imagine you're organizing the trunk of a car, or a closet. You would group things not only by size, but you'd put similar items together, not just shove them in any space available," she points out.
"Doing the same with time boosts efficiency. Meeting people uses one part of the brain, while coming up with strategies uses another." Grouping things together, she says, helps maintain focus.
The frequent flier
Tom Stuker has clocked over 10 million frequent flyer miles. As he spends roughly two-thirds of his life on the road, he has learned to streamline the process of travel for maximum efficiency and productivity.
"I always have copies of the itinerary, plus every single correspondence from hotels, airports… everything," he says.
"I make sure I bring every single charger for every piece of equipment, and I make sure everything is fully charged before I get on the plane," he adds.
Stuker also believes in the importance of traveling light. Ideally, he likes to travel with a single bag, and enough clothes to last two to three days (laundry, he notes, is preferable to a bulky suitcase).
"I like to grab my stuff and go. When you board 300 to 400 flights a year, the 30 or 40 minutes you spend waiting for a bag can really add up," he says.
The perfect packer
Anne McAlpin, author of "Pack it Up: Travel Smart Pack Light" has devised a system for maximizing luggage space. For starters, she advises packing a limited color palette.
"If you pack around one basic color it means that you can pack less, because everything mixes and matches," she says. She argues that passengers should pack a maximum of three pairs of shoes, which she recommends trying to fit within each other — Russian doll style. Also, she says, place them at the bottom of luggage, just above the wheels. As they're the heaviest item, it will help keep luggage from tipping over.
T-shirts and pyjamas she advises rolling tightly ("the tighter I roll them, the less wrinkles," she notes). To save money on laundry, she packs a gallon plastic bag and washes clothes using a dollop of shampoo.

The zen finder
Kadam (or teacher) Morten Clausen instructs Manhattan's busy how to unplug at New York's Kadampa Meditation Center. The trick to finding peace of mind, he says, is not to seek it, but let it come to you.
"If you just very patiently, and without expectations, and without grasping at any kind of quick result, direct your wandering mind back and focus on the breath, even if for just a few seconds, some degree of peace will naturally arise," he explains. What's more, he notes, meditation can be done on the plane or in a hotel room. Whatever you do, though, don't get bogged down with goals.
"I think one of the reasons we run around so much is that we are looking for some kind of fulfillment. If we keep thinking it's out there, we're going to keep failing to see there's a huge experience of peace and happiness just waiting for us inside."

What do Marie Antoinette and one Bill Koch have in common? If you'd asked me that a few days ago, I'd have answered "Not much." That is, until yesterday, when I about Bill Koch's private Western town.
There's a new town in Colorado. It has about 50 buildings, including a saloon, a church, a jail, a firehouse, a livery and a train station. Soon, it will have a mansion on a hill so the town's founder can look down on his creation.
But don't expect to move here — or even to visit.
This town is billionaire Bill Koch's fascination with the Old West rendered in bricks and mortar. It sits on a 420-acre meadow on his Bear Ranch below the Raggeds Wilderness Area in Gunnison County. It's an unpopulated, faux Western town that might boggle the mind of anyone who ever had a playhouse. Its full-size buildings come with polished brass and carved-mahogany details and are fronted with board sidewalks and underpinned by a water-treatment system. A locked gate with guards screens who comes and goes.
Koch's project manager has told county officials that the enclave in the middle of the 6,400-acre Bear Ranch won't ever be open to the public. It is simply for Koch's amusement and for that of his family and friends — and historians. It is the ultimate repository for his huge collection of Western memorabilia.
Yeah. This is a guy who really needs another tax break. Koch's "own private Dodge City" reminded me of something I once read about Marie Antoinette.
Maybe Marie Antoinette never actually said, "Let them eat cake," but the young queen was infamous for spending extravagantly, while remaining oblivious to the grinding poverty her subjects suffered in the run-up to the French Revolution. Her extravagant dress and and expensive jewels became fodder for public comment and ridicule. But anger at Antoinette probably spiked when the public got word that the queen had an entire Viennese village built on the grounds of Versailles, at considerable expense to French citizens.
The Petit Hameau (The Little Hamlet), or "Le Hameau de la Reine," was situated in the English-style gardens of the Petit Trianon. Created in 1783, the Petit Hameau was a mock farm area, complete with farmhouse, dairy, and poultry yard – all areas traditionally associated with women.
When visiting this ersatz farm, Marie Antoinette and her attendants would dress as shepherdesses, and play at milking the cows and tending other docile animals. The farmhouse interior was more opulent, featuring all of the luxuries expected by the Queen and her ladies.
The Petit Hameau was part of the landscape of the "natural" English garden, but it was also a reflection of France's cultural values on the eve of the Revolution. This artificial nature retreat mirrored the moral values associated with natural simplicity and virtue.
…The innocence and simplicity of Marie Antoinette's amusements did not, however, redeem her in the eyes of those who noted the expenses of her endeavors. And even more than the money spent on the Petit Hameau, the many hours the Queen spent there in the company of other women, outside the sight and supervision of her husband, gave rise to rumors that were not innocent at all.
C'mon. Bill Koch strutting about his very own western town and playing "Gunsmoke," isn't that different than Marie Antoinette playing milkmaid.
There are differences, of course. We don't have royalty here. Not in the strictest sense, at least. But Koch's wealth does pretty much place him among the top one percent. Let's put it this way, his net worth of $4 billion makes him no. 81 on Forbes' list of the 400 wealthiest people in the U.S. That kinda makes Mitt Romney's paltry $230 million net worth — which puts him among the wealthiest .001 percent — look like chump change.
Koch is spending his own money, whereas Antoinette either dipped into the French treasury or was perceived as doing so. On the other hand, given what we know about tax cuts, and about the wealth transfer that the Bush tax cuts kicked in to high gear, it's worth considering how much of the money that went in to building Koch's private town might have been spent on job creation — beyond, of course, the construction crew needed to build it, the servants needed to staff it (probably temp workers, earning minimum wage — if they're lucky), and the security guard to keep everyone out.
Why should we cut Social Security and Medicaid, so Bill Koch get another tax cut and build another empty town? Why should we starve our public schools so that Bill Koch can spend his next tax break to build an empty schoolhouse in his empty town? Why should we neglect our own infrastructure to that Bill Koch can use his next tax cut to maintain the sidewalks and water system in his empty town?
I could go on, but by now you get the point. These are questions worth asking, especially for anyone running against a ticket whose answer to all of these questions and more is "Yes."
Mitt Romney's newest economic agenda wouldn't just shred the safety net. It would obliterated the safety net. Matt Hubbard, and economic adviser to the Romney campaign, called Mitt Romney's newest economic agenda "a narrative of the policy agenda and life under a Romney presidency." When it comes to middle- and working-class Americans, the poor and the near-poor, Hubbard's words are particularly prescient.
We're back to numbers there. So let's try to return to narrative. If Romney cut Medicaid entirely — took it from the $407 billion its projected to cost in 2016 and moved it to zero — his numbers wouldn't work. If he then excised out all spending on food stamps — taking them from a projected $80 billion in 2016 to nothing — he still wouldn't be there.
Romney won't do that, of course. His cuts presumably will be distributed among many, many more programs. But that thought experiment gives you a sense of the size of the cuts he will need to make. And the reality is that he's not got many painless places to make them. The largest spending program left to him is Medicaid, which provides health care to low-income Americans, children, and the disabled. Retirement costs for federal employees are a large pot of money, but we can't break all those promises. Transportation infrastructure is expensive, but we will continue to need to repair our roads. And so on.
Yesterday, Bob Borosage wove an alternate narrative of life under a Romney presidency out of nine things Mitt Romney believes, reflected in his new economic agenda. It's a narrative of life in an America where rich no longer have "too little money."
It's a narrative of life in an America where:
- the wealthy no longer have "too little money"
- "those blessed by being born to the wealthy few should inherit the earth"
- the world is "the oyster of corporations seeking tax havens"
- Wall Street is "free to gamble with other people's money, and you rubes are on your own"
- the military no longer has "too little money," where elderly workers no longer have "too much security and leisure"
- "our schools, water systems, roads and bridges, subways and trains, nutrition programs for children, Coast Guard and FBI" no longer get "too much money" and "do with much less"
- and "children must play the hand that fate dealt them. If they are the heirs to the rich, they live charmed lives. If they are born to the poor, they must rise above it "
But perhaps the best summary I've heard of Romney's budget comes from Republican columnist Frum.
Compassionate conservatism has been dead for a long time. Romney's Detroit speech cremated the remains. As a man, Romney remains far and away the most capable of the presidential candidates seeking the Republican nomination. But he has now finally eliminated the policy differences separating him from the radical congressional wing.
This summer, during the debate over raising the debt ceiling, Republicans used a clip from The Town, a movie staring Ben Affleck, to rally their caucus to support John Boehner's debt plan … and "hurt some people." In September, New Jersey governor promised wealthy attendees at a Koch-sponsored seminar that "pain will be inflicted" if or when conservatives implement their economic agenda.
Just asking.

Childhood Leukemia
LOCKE: Knock, knock, hey, so we're going to put these gowns on…
I followed Angela Locke, a child life specialist at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital, into the room of one of her patients.
BERENDT: Matthew Berendt. I'm six years old.
Matthew is from Cortland Ohio, just outside of Youngstown.
He's got a few tufts of blonde hair but the chemo's wiped out the rest.
He has acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or ALL. It's one of the most common forms of childhood cancer.
LOCKE: So what are we going to learn about today? BERENDT: I don't know. LOCKE: We're going to learn about leukemia by making pretend blood.
Locke's brought a tote bag full of "blood-making" materials, and she asks Matthew where they should begin.
BERENDT: I think the marshmallows. LOCKE: Ok, so… BERENDT: I think I want to eat one.
Locke's known Matthew since his diagnosis, over a year ago. Her role is to help kids cope with their conditions, through stuff like this demonstration, or puppets, or just being accomplice to the occasional stolen marshmallow.
Locke explains that the marshmallows represent white blood cells, which fight infection. Red hots are red blood cells that carry oxygen, and rice stands in for platelets that stop bleeding.
LOCKE: So when the doctors looked at your blood Matthew, they were looking at your white ones and your red ones and your platelets, but they also saw a different type of cell in your blood too. These ones are called leukemia cells.
Locke scoops bits of Styrofoam into their bag of "blood."
Leukemia cells are white blood cells gone wrong. They crowd out good cells and invade bones and other organs.
Chemo--in this demo, nail polish remover--helps stop the leukemia in its tracks.
(Sounds of dissolving Styrofoam)
BERENDT: I see one more leukemia.
LOCKE: You want to make sure that chemo's touching it?
He jiggles the bag so the acetone hits the remaining foam bits.
This kind of demo is good to repeat with kids, Locke says—it helps them understand what's going on in their bodies.
Berendt is smart, and curious. After the demo, we start talking snakes…
BERENDT: I know all about them.
…and aquariums…
BERENDT: But what happens if you pet a stingray?
…and his ambitions for the future…
BERENDT: Someday I'm going to go to the Cleveland Zoo.
LETTERIO: The most common form of childhood cancer is virtually curable in every child.
Dr. John Letterio is head of the pediatric oncology program at Rainbow Babies.
He has a deep appreciation for the research and trials that have, over the years, led to better treatments. Now kids like Matthew Berendt have very favorable odds.
LETTERIO: In the early 60s if you were diagnosed with ALL you probably had somewhere between 10-15% chance of being a long term survivor. So you can see just in three decades, we've taken a disease that was nearly uniformly fatal to making it something that's almost always cured.
According to a recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine, cure rates for acute lymphoblastic leukemia are now pushing 90 percent, though some kids have variations of leukemia that are harder to treat.
Doctors use aggressive chemotherapy to knock back the cancer. And sometimes, the chemo is paired with a bone marrow transplant.
LETTERIO: Yeah it sounds like a complicated procedure but it's actually, it's like hanging a blood transfusion.
Letterio says bone marrow transplants are really just a way to get good blood cells back into the body.
Matthew Berendt will get a transplant soon, from his brother. He's been on intensive chemo so he needs a fresh stock of healthy blood cells to repopulate his body.
The real test is in the weeks after a transplant. Will the body accept the cells and start building healthy blood?
For now, Angela Locke whispers in Matthew's ear to remind him of the good news. After several rounds of chemotherapy, he can announce that tomorrow….
BERENDT: I'm going home.

Both the 8 and 16GB versions of the white Nexus 4 have been shifted to "no longer available for sale" after just over a month in the Play Store. This device was basically the celebrity marriage of Android phones with rumors about it swirling for months and then just a short lived stint together with the Play Store. If you are in the rarified position of both being desperate for this phone and being on T-Mobile then you are in luck as they continue to have it for sale and while the price is a bit higher you do get a free wireless charger to ease the pain.
This was always pitched as a limited edition device so there's no reason to let this fuel speculation about a Nexus 5 just yet, although with about 8 months on the odometer for the Nexus 4 we are encroaching on the logical timeline for solid information to start showing up about the successor.
Google falling back to a lone color option is a bit funny right now in light of Google's own Motorola being on the verge of unleashing the full rainbow on customers with the Moto X. Safe to say there is a slightly different target audience for the two devices though and that those that crave the purity of the Nexus are likely willing to forgive the lack of customizability.
Did any of you snag a white Nexus 4 while they were available or did you steer clear in hopes of a Nexus 5 arriving in the next few months?

Lesson Plan
The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby Lesson Plan
Quick links to lesson materials:
Subject Area: Language Arts
Reading Level: 2.5
Book Summary
George and Harold, heroes of the Captain Underpants series, are back! This time, they chronicle the adventures of Super Diaper Baby and his sidekick, Diaper Dog. Can the heroic duo save the world from evil Deputy Doo Doo? Humor and adventure abound in this sure-to-please graphic novel.
Students will understand the graphic-novel format and create their own comics.
Standard: Students will use reading skills and strategies to understand a variety of texts (e.g. fairy tales, folktales, fiction, nonfiction, legends, fables, myths).
Before Reading
Comics Are Everywhere!
Comics are a unique form of literature. Perfect for beginning or reluctant readers, they present information using a combination of text and illustration.
- Introduce the concept of graphic art to your students. If possible, bring in an example of a comic (cut from a local paper or magazine).
- Send your children home to be comics detectives. Ask them to bring back one example of a comic. They may look in books, newspapers, magazines, copy down something seen on television, or print something from a home computer.
- Share the samples with your class.
Teaching Plan
My Comic Adventures
Your class can create their own superheroes!
- Using The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby as an example, ask your students to invent their own comic adventures. Depending on your students' abilities, you may wish to do this individually or as a class. Explain that superheroes tend to have superhuman abilities — what special skills would their superhero possess? Each student should come up with his or her own superhero. Encourage students to use their imaginations, the wackier the better!
- Distribute paper and pencils. Allot a certain amount of class time to this project. Students should write and illustrate to the best of their abilities.
- At the end of the allotted time, share each student's stories with the class. Or, if this has been a class project, read the finished story aloud.
Post the finished project(s) on a classroom bulletin board.
In My Own Words
Students can compare and contrast straight narrative with the comics style.
- After reading the story, ask each student to think about the story that George and Harold have presented.
- Using no illustrations, have students recount the adventures of Super Diaper Baby, from start to finish, in their own words.
- Ask each student to read his or her narrative aloud to the class.
- Talk about the differences and similarities between each student's version. Talk about any nuances that were lost (or gained) in "translating" the story into narrative format.
- If time allows, let students practice drawing the characters using the instructions provided at the back of the book.

Mass Effect 4 Won't Deal With Shepard at All
We don't know much about the next Mass Effect trilogy, but BioWare has confirmed once again it is ready to move beyond the story of Commander Shepard.
In an interview with Complex, Mass Effect writer Mac Walter talked a bit about what to expect from Mass Effect 4, and its subsequent sequels.
"Well, I can't get into details, but the idea is that we have agreed to tell a story that doesn't relate necessarily to any of the Shepard events at all, whatsoever," Walter said. "Beyond that, that's what we've been deciding for awhile. But throughout it all, one of the key things is that it has to be Mass Effect. It can't just feel like a spin-off. It has to feel like a Mass Effect game at its heart, at its core. Just without the Shepard character or the Shepard specific companions."
Considering the first trilogy completed the story of Shepard's battle to save the galaxy from the Reaper menace, we're not all that surprised by the news. There's an entire universe out there to explore, and BioWare is clearly ready to look elsewhere for its protagonist and story inspiration. We eagerly await more details on just who or what the next game will focus on, and can only hope the next three games are as memorable and rich with characters as the first three games.

Mandy Patinkin To Return To 'Criminal Minds' (Sort Of)
Once CBS chief Nina Tassler used her platform at the TCA's to clarify that the "creative differences" that drove Mandy Patinkin to bolt Criminal Minds were more of the "personal issues" nature (to her credit, she refrained from pandering to the assembled critics by making comically exaggerated cuckoo noises and twirling a finger around her temple), we thought our PatinkinWatch feature had seen its last update. But this morning, TVGuide.com puts the actor back on our radar, reporting that he'll return to the Minds set to make a final appearance in a single, closure-providing scene:
Strange as that may sound, though, that isn't the really odd part: He'll only be in one scene, and he'll essentially be the only one in it.
Why? Well, duh! My spies tell me that no one in the cast wanted to work opposite him again after he brought production to a standstill by pulling a no-show without even calling in (cough, cough) sick. What's more, Minds' producers were forced to use a special crew to shoot the pariah's scene because the show's regular staff refused to be on set with him.
"Pariah" seems like a harsh assessment and a ceremonial walkout by the crew a cold kiss-off, but we won't pretend to know how painful it was for his TV family to realize that their star never intended to return after ditching that fateful table read. Still, their poignant absence is a classier and more professional way to say goodbye than turning up to work only to ruin every take by coughing Asshole! and Quitter! into their fists each time Patinkin opens his mouth to deliver his dialogue.

The Gulfstream G550 has earned many admirers, whether by winning the prestigious Robert J. Collier Trophy or by being named by owners as the best-in-value business aircraft. What's behind the success?
A newly designed long, sleek wing and high-thrust engines increase range and speed, yet fuel economy is so well maximized the G280 has earned best-in-class fuel efficiency.
The PlaneView280 flight deck incorporates state-of-the-art flight and navigation systems while autothrottle and autobraking set new standards for aircraft control and handling. The Gulfstream G280 is an aircraft so powerful and aerodynamic it redefines the performance and capabilities of super-midsize business aircraft. And the interior? Light, quiet and exquisitely comfortable―everything one would expect from Gulfstream, The World Standard™.
Increased range and fast, powerful climbing ability are two ways the Gulfstream G280 outperforms its original design goals and contributes to class-leading performance.
This super-midsize aircraft travels 200 nautical miles/370 kilometers beyond its initial targeted range. That design achievement pushes the G280's maximum range to 3,600 nm/6,667 km at Mach 0.80, making the G280 the only aircraft in its class capable of flying nonstop from London to New York in world-record time.
The G280's wing was engineered along the lines of the Gulfstream G550, one of the most versatile aircraft flying today. Because of the exceptional design, the G280 wing needs no leading-edge devices to aid low-speed maneuverability. Instead, subtle contours along a highly swept, smooth wing reduce drag and enhance lift. Once airborne, the G280 can stay there longer than any aircraft in its class, flying eight hours nonstop at Mach 0.80. Take off in New York and reach Milan or Lima, Peru; or, from London, connect with Dubai or Montreal, Canada.
The G280 flies at a maximum operating Mach of 0.85, but even at a long-range cruise of Mach 0.80, the G280 is miles ahead of other midsize business aircraft. What's that mean for passengers? A New York to Los Angeles flight in five hours, or better yet, matching the G280's trans-Atlantic speed records by flying Washington, D.C., to Geneva in 7 hours, 47 minutes or Paris to White Plains, New York, in 7 hours, 40 minutes.
The Gulfstream G280 delivers sporty performance, excellent handling qualities and unsurpassed avionics capabilities in this class of business aircraft. Its range, speed and systems capabilities are on a par with far more expensive large-cabin aircraft, placing it at the top of its class.Business & Commercial Aviation, November 2012
The door has a 6-foot/1.8-meter clearance and deep stair treads to provide easy access. The cabin height of 6 feet 3 inches/1.91 meters is better than any aircraft in its class. Paired with spacious width and length, that gives the G280 a cabin that comfortably seats up to 10 passengers with beds for up to five.
With 19 windows, natural light permeates the G280 cabin and allows every passenger an opportunity to see the world from on high. Two signature Gulfstream features, 100 percent fresh-air circulation and a cabin pressurized to a lower, more easily breathable altitude, reduce the exertion on passengers' heart and lung functions, meaning they arrive less fatigued, more alert and ready to focus on the mission ahead.
Three select floor plans allow freedom to configure the cabin to meet specific requirements for work, entertainment, rest or a combination. Every G280 can showcase an owner's sense of style with the help of Gulfstream interior designers, who provide impeccable customer support and creative concepts to create a luxurious but highly productive interior.
The Gulfstream Cabin Management System incorporates an iPod touch to provide fingertip control to manage temperature, lighting, monitors and entertainment. Cabin control also can be downloaded to most Apple devices, giving passengers the power to adjust settings at their seats.
Dual Blu-ray DVD players and high-definition monitors are standard features for business or entertainment needs. The connectivity continues with Gulfstream CabinView, which provides a web page format to track flight progress, map geographic boundaries and see points of interest.
Gulfstream again leads the industry by offering autobraking and autothrottle as standard features in the G280. The automated braking system has a faster reaction time than a pilot response and can instantly apply maximum brake force for the conditions.
The feature improves safety during a rejected takeoff, but the automatic response also reduces brake wear and further ensures improved passenger comfort on landing. Autothrottle controls speed at cruise, on approaches and landings, and on go-arounds.

I still hate the word "blog."
Maybe I'm old school but as a writer, I think we have plenty of nice, usable words to describe this kind of communication.
The word "blog" was created when someone smashed the words "web" and "log" together.
It could have be called "dog" mixing up "digital" and "log" or maybe "wiary" for "web" and "diary."
I've resisted the notion of starting my own blog for various reasons but with the News-Herald new website, I have my own forum with a built-in audience.
So, I will be posting random thoughts from time to time, maybe commenting on Owen County stories and hopefully something insight or mildly amusing.
Have a great new year.

By Khushbu Shah and Chelsea J. Carter , CNN updated 9:09 PM EST, Fri January 3, 2014 CNN.com
(CNN) -- The parents of a 3-year-old in a "vegetative state" are suing a Kailua, Hawaii, dentist, alleging negligence and dangerous conduct that left the girl with massive, irreversible brain damage. The lawsuit filed against Lilly Geyer and her practice, Island Dentistry for Children, alleges improper medications with incorrect dosages were administered to Finley Boyle on December 3, 2013, according to court documents filed this week.
"As a direct and proximate result of the medications administered to (Finley) by defendants, (Finley) suffered cardiac arrest during her dental procedure," the lawsuit said. It also alleges that as a further result of administering improper medications, Finley "suffered severe and permanent brain damage."
Geyer and Geyer's attorney, John Nishimoto, did not respond to repeated requests by CNN for comment. The Island Dentistry website states it has been permanently closed and directs patients to an e-mail address.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in Hawaii's First Circuit Court, also alleges Geyer did not have a plan or procedures in place to respond to medical emergencies, such as the one Finley suffered. It seeks unspecified damages.
Finley's mother, Ashley Boyle, said she first took her daughter to the dentist in November, when she was told her daughter needed six fillings and four root canals, she said. They returned to the dentist in December to undergo the root canals, Boyle said. The parents allege that Finley was sedated and left unmonitored for 26 minutes. Finley was moved from a hospital to a hospice in late December.
"She will probably not be with us much longer," Boyle said. Finley's pediatric neurologist, Dr. Gregory Yen, said the girl has been in a "persistent vegetative state" since she was brought to him a month ago.
Finley has undergone four MRIs on her brain, which have shown severe damage, the doctor said. It is difficult to say how long Finley will be alive, Yen said.

Intermodal (road/rail) transport in Europe has declined in 2012 by 11%.
UIRR has released detailed data.
Intermodal transport, particularly European road-rail transport, had shown good developments during the past years. Recently, however, important setbacks occurred due to the economic slow-down, mainly in Southern Europe, and due to the temporary closure of the Brenner and Gotthard alpine rail passes in 2012.
In 2012, this has led to a 11 per cent decline in intermodal traffic (in terms of consignments) for all International Union of Combined Road-Rail transport companies (UIRR). Accompanied transport even suffered a loss of 24 per cent in terms of tonne-kilometers. This decline was less marked, but still in the order of 5 and 19 per cent for total and accompanied intermodal transport respectively (for more information see the graphs below).

A Tribal History was released in October, 2001 to great success. The book is now in five languages, and led the way to the creation of the acclaimed documentary AMERICAN HARDCORE: The History of American Punk Rock 1980-1986. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2006, and was released theatrically later that year by Sony Pictures Classics. With the resurgence of punk rock, and continued interest in the significant American DIY movement, Blush has expanded the book and will release the second edition on November 1, 2010.
Unlike many second editions, this offering is a new book. The author has updated all of the chapters, added a new one titled "Destroy Babylon," which explores the mutant forms of spirituality that came from the movement, and interviewed over twenty-five new subjects. Blush also has unearthed over a hundred new pieces of artwork, drafted two hundred plus new band bios, and radically expanded discography. Most significant, he has offered a new conclusion which is an anomaly within the realm of period studies. The original book was 328 pages, and the revised edition is now 408.
The Los Angeles Times cited AMERICAN HARDCORE: A Tribal History as the "definitive treatment of hardcore punk." Juxtapoz Magazine called the study "the definitive work on one of rock's most important eras." Major publications across the globe echoed these sentiments, and the public followed suit via purchases at bookstores and tickets at box offices across the world. Blush is sure to have a packed house as he conducts readings and Q&A sessions at public libraries across the country.

Hey All - just wondering what you do about rude/mean/offensive comments. Do you get them? What sort? Do you answer/ignore/delete? I was a bit sheltered from this when I had my own blog, but since I started blogging for the local newspaper, I've had a few upsetting comments. I'd love to know others' experience with this - how you feel and what you do.

Jim Rogers fears the worst for Japan.
In an interview with Fusion MarketSite, the emerging markets and commodities guru says there is no way Japanese PM Shinzo Abe's growth policies can possibly succeed — there are already many trends working against him, and his plan will only make things worse.
Here's the exchange:
Fusion: How does it end in Japan - in tears ?
Rogers: Of course it does. Japan has a very serious problem. When we look back, Mr. Abe will have ruined Japan. Huge debt levels, horrible demographics, they won't let in foreigners, the population is declining. Mr. Abe comes along and says he'll ruin the currency. It is a disaster in the long term, and not guaranteed to work in the short term, either.
Rogers went on to say he remains bullish on China, and that the only thing that can stop it is a resource crisis — specifically, with its water supplies:
The only way the China story runs into big problems is if they run out of water. China has a major water problem. They are working hard to solve it. I believe they will solve it. If you want to make a lot of money find companies that are working to fix that problem. As for their stock market, it's getting closer to a buy. I bought a few shares on Friday. Their market is getting to the point it should be bought.
Rogers said he believes the U.S. shale revolution is overhyped:
Regarding natural gas, the fundamentals on the ground are not nearly as good as the hype. The number of rigs on the ground has gone down 75% the last couple of years, as the wells are very short-lived, and it takes an enormous amount of money to keep them up. A number of companies have had to lower estimates of their reserves. As for oil shale, typical wells deplete at 38 percent the first year. Thus you need a lot of drilling, money, and a high price to keep up production rates. All you have to do is go out in the oil patch. I believe the investment world will be disappointed with the notion that supply is so great that oil will collapse.
Finally, on gold, Rogers is convinced recent declines are merely a hiccup:
It's gone up 12 years in a row. I don't know of any asset that goes up 12 years in a row. So just from a technical point of view, maybe it needs to go down some more. But from a fundamental point of view it will be a buy. There are some short-term factors hurting gold. The Indians are trying to restrict the purchase of gold, as it's the source (along with oil) of their trade deficit. I have not sold my gold and plan to buy more if it keeps dropping. And yes, I did call for a correction a while back, and sometimes I do get it right !

Seager snaps Seattle's skid with walk-off HR
SEATTLE -- With two swings of the bat Wednesday, third baseman Kyle Seager picked up Seattle's slumping offense and tossed aside an eight-game losing streak as the Mariners pulled out a 5-3 win over the Astros with their first walk-off victory of the season.
Seager's second home run of the game was a three-run shot off Houston reliever Josh Fields with one out in the bottom of the ninth and gave him a career-high five RBIs, spoiling the Astros' hopes for a three-game sweep and releasing some of the Mariners' mounting early-season frustrations.View Full Game Coverage
SEATTLE -- With two swings of the bat Wednesday, third baseman Kyle Seager picked up Seattle's slumping offense and tossed aside an eight-game losing streak as the Mariners pulled out a 5-3 win over the Astros with their first walk-off victory of the season.
Seager's second home run of the game was a three-run shot off Houston reliever Josh Fields with one out in the bottom of the ninth and gave him a career-high five RBIs, spoiling the Astros' hopes for a three-game sweep and releasing some of the Mariners' mounting early-season frustrations.View Full Game Coverage
Seager came into the game hitting .156 with no home runs and two RBIs, but he unloaded a two-run shot in the seventh inning and followed with his game-winner two innings later.
"We've definitely been battling a little bit and hadn't had some games go our way, for sure," Seager said after the first walk-off hit of his career. "It's always good to get a victory."
The Mariners were on the verge of their longest losing skid since a club-record 17-game slump from July 6-26, 2011, until Seager turned things around.
"He has a track record, and I've said all along he's going to hit," said first-year Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon. "Obviously when you're in a losing streak and the guys you expect to hit don't hit, it's a little frustrating. But in that case, you have two options: You can sit 'em or you can play 'em. I chose to play him and he didn't disappoint. I think he's going to be just fine."
Robinson Cano and Corey Hart singled to lead off the ninth before Seager's winning blast off Fields, a former Mariners first-round Draft pick who was making his third straight appearance as the Astros tried to close out the sweep.
Seager said he was looking for a fastball and got it on the first pitch from Fields, who was selected by the Astros in the Rule 5 Draft before last season and has emerged as their closer this year.
"We've faced him the last two nights, and I've gotten behind him both times," Seager said. "He's got really good stuff. And I played with him when he was with us and I know what kind of stuff he has. You definitely don't want a guy like that to get ahead of you."
Fields had allowed just four hits in nine innings over his first nine appearances this season and was 2-for-2 in save opportunities prior to his three-hit, three-run blowup.
"I felt fine out there, but it was one of those days I left a couple of balls up and paid for it," Fields said. "As soon as [Seager] hit it I knew he gave it a ride, and there was nothing else I could do after that."
The win kept Seattle from falling into last place in the American League West, as they're now 8-13, 1 1/2 games ahead of the 7-15 Astros.
Veteran right-hander Chris Young threw seven innings of three-run ball to keep Seattle in the game.
The 6-foot-10 Young struggled with his command early and issued five walks in the first four innings, but he only gave up four hits in his longest start since Aug. 21, 2012. Young didn't pitch in the Majors last year while coming back from shoulder issues.
Two of Young's walks came back to haunt him in the third when Astros catcher Jason Castro followed with a two-out double. Those were the only runs the 34-year-old allowed until a solo home run by Chris Carter leading off the seventh.
"My rhythm and tempo was really bad early," Young said. "But in the fourth I found it, and the last four innings I felt real good, minus the ball Carter hit. And the boys picked me up. You can't say enough about Seager and the way he's been battling and grinding. He's a true professional and he picked us up today in a much-needed win. That's awesome to see."
Young, who signed with Seattle just before the start of the regular season, remains 0-0 with a 3.50 ERA in four appearances (three starts). He struck out six in his 113-pitch outing.
Astros right-hander Jarred Cosart kept the Mariners off the board until Seager hit his two-run shot in the seventh to cut the lead to 3-2.
Hart said seeing Seager warm up is a big lift for a Mariners club that had been outscored 46-18 during the eight-game losing streak.
"It was big. He's a big part of this team," said Hart, who has hit .355 over the last eight games. "A lot of guys aren't swinging the way we want to yet. With him, if he can get where he needs to be, this team is going to jump.
"You saw how it was today. He's a great player and if he continues to sneak in there, it's going to be good for us. We just need guys to chip in. It's been tough lately. We haven't had the big hit or big out. Today we had two from the same guy, so it was nice."
The Mariners are just 11-11 against Houston since the Astros moved into the AL West last year, including a 4-8 mark at Safeco Field. But Wednesday's win heading into an off-day looms large for a club looking to find itself in the early going under a new skipper.
"I said when I took the job I wanted them to take on my personality," McClendon said. "And I think you can see I didn't have any panic. The fact is you're going to have losing streaks during a season. How you deal with them will define what type of team you'll become.
"Over the course of a 162-game schedule, nobody said it was going to be a bed of roses every day. We'll see. I like my team, I still like my team and I think we'll be OK."

COLUMBIA, Mo. – The Tennessee Tech soccer team went into Columbia Sunday afternoon expecting to be pushed to the limit by the #10 ranked Missouri Tiger offense, and it was. But after a 90-minute barrage of 34 shot attempts by the Tigers, the Golden Eagles walked away allowing only two goals.
The Golden Eagles accomplished what only one other team has been able to all season; hold the Missouri attack to two goals or fewer. UC Santa Barbara, the other to accomplish the feat, also lost 2-0. Arizona State and Memphis gave up four and five goals, respectively, to the Tigers. Even the 15th ranked California Bears couldn't stop Mizzou, allowing three goals in their loss to the Tigers.
"I'm really proud of the girls today," said head coach Daniel Brizard. "It's always tough to lose, but when you're playing a top-10 program, it's great to limit what they can do offensively. I thought we played really well and we played like the team we can be."
The Tech defense was outstanding; saving its best for the toughest team it has faced all season. The defense kept the Tiger attack at bay, allowing just nine shots-on-goal on 34 shot attempts. Three different Golden Eagle defenders (Katie Phillips, Taylor Hicks, and Julie Thompson) logged 90 minutes on the day, showing grit and determination while fending off the Missouri offense.
"I think we showed how far we've already come this season," said Brizard. "We played fantastic defensively. Everyone on the back-line played a great role in today's match. I think this is a good step in the right direction for us."
Freshman goalkeeper Jordan Brown also provided a gutsy performance on the day, making seven saves and playing like a veteran against the toughest offense she has faced in her young career. Brown finished the weekend with 11 saves, the second straight weekend she put up double-digit save numbers.
"Jordan's been steady all year and that's what we want," said Brizard. "She has the confidence of the back-line and she was a huge factor in keeping us in the game today. She proved that she's going to have a great career both as a Golden Eagle and as an OVC [Ohio Valley Conference] goalkeeper."
The strong performance from the team came at a crucial junction in the season as the OVC opener creeps closer.
"Missouri would win the conference if they were in the OVC this year," said Brizard. "But I think if we can bring this same work ethic and mentality to every match, we're going to have a strong season and strong showing in the OVC."
The Golden Eagles have just three non-conference matches remaining before opening OVC play. Tech will get two of those matches out of the way next weekend when it hosts Middle Tennessee on Friday, September 7, and travels to Western Carolina on Sunday, September 9.

Pittsburg, KS
The SEK Art Fest Steering Committee, in conjunction with the Pittsburg State University Department of Art, will host a reception Thursday for all of the artists who submitted a proposal for this year's inaugural festival.
The reception will take place at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 7, inside PSU's Porter Hall, and it will give the artists who submitted a coal bucket design a chance to meet and converse about all things art.
"Not only were we very impressed by the level of interest in SEK Art Fest among area artists, we are also extremely appreciative that they want to be a part of this event," Jordaine Pollard, SEK Art Fest artist relations chairperson, said. "This reception is one way we are saying 'thank you' and celebrating the talented artists we have in this community and throughout the region."
Rhona Shand, chairperson of the PSU Department of Art, said the reception will allow the artists and everyone involved in SEK Art Fest to "bask in the success of the event."
"It is so wonderful that the artistic community stepped up the way that it did to support SEK Art Fest and to promote the arts," Shand said. "We are very excited to welcome these artists to PSU's Porter Hall and to celebrate the creative enrichment of Pittsburg"
A panel of judges is currently reviewing the 58 applications. Formal letters will be sent to the artists on Feb 8. to notify them of the judges' decision. The judges are Portico Bowman, associate professor in the Department of Art at PSU; Heather Horton, co-owner of Sweet Designs Cakery; and Tim Towner, co-owner of Little's in downtown Pittsburg.
SEK Art Fest will kick off on May 1, when the coal buckets will be placed along Broadway in downtown Pittsburg. They will be on display through Sept. 1.
The theme of the art exhibit is "Mining Memories" to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of the Southeast Kansas region.

Subscribe To Weekend Box Office - Shutter Island Doesn't Cop Out Updates
I've already subscribed
The final weekend of the February doldrums came and went, with the last two movies dumped into theaters making only mediocre splashes.
Critics and Kevin Smith fans alike had minimal praise for his new comedy Cop Out, but thanks to big names like Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, enough of an audience turned up to give the movie second place in the top ten with $18 million, the largest ever box office opening for a Smith project.
Of course, that's not such a huge accomplishment when you consider that his previous record was held by Jay and Silent Bob for a minimal $11 million.
Horror flick The Crazies came in a close third with $16 million, not bad for a movie made with no major names on a $20 million budget.
Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island held on to the number one spot for a second weekend, banking an additional $22 million for a total of $75 million domestic. Well on its way to the $100 million mark, the movie will be only the third Scorses movie to hit triple digits. The Aviator just broke in at $102 million back in 2004 and The Departed went all the way to $132 million back in 2006.
Meanwhile Avatar in its 11th weekend, continued to milk extra revenue out of the higher 3D ticket prices, crossing the $700 million mark. No actual budget information has ever been released on the film, but there's little doubt that it has made more profit than any other movie in history.
For the full weekend top ten, check out the chart below:

With their second- and third-round NFL draft picks the Detroit Lions filled draft needs and worked toward their goal of getting bigger, stronger and faster.
Cornerback Darius Slay (Mississippi State) was selected in the second round, followed by offensive guard Larry Warford (Kentucky) in the third round on Friday.
Both will compete for starting jobs. Slay to start next to Chris Houston and Warford to fill the opening at right guard.
Slay had the fastest 40 time (4.36) among defensive backs at the NFL Combine. He said he gets his speed naturally.
"My mom and dad both ran track so I've been pretty fast for a long time,'' Slay said on a conference call.
Slay, who is 6-foot and 192 pounds, tore meniscus in the offseason.
"I feel like I'm moving real good right now,'' Slay said on a conference call Friday night. "It never really did (bother me), they just did an MRI on it and saw something there, a torn meniscus and that was it.''
"We're very aware of where he is physically right now,'' Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said. "He's in good physical condition. We're aware there's an issue with his knee and we're comfortable with that.''
Mayhew wouldn't speculate whether he will be ready to participate in organized team activities in May. Coach Jim Schwartz said it's not a long-term injury.
"We've been trying to find that big corner, we've talked about that. Everybody is looking for that guy,'' Mayhew said. "He has a lot of that same stuff. He's good in press coverage, he's physical against the run.''
Slay said when he visited the Lions a few weeks ago they made it clear they were interested.
"I'm ready to compete, I can't wait to get Detroit,'' Slay said on the NFL Network immediately after the pick.
In the first round on Thursday night, the Lions drafted defensive end Ziggy Ansah out of BYU.
Coach Jim Schwartz said Warford has been called "Big Larry" since he was 5. That's unlikely to change in Detroit for the guard who is 6-foot-3 and 333 pounds.
If Big Larry wasn't so big he might not have been drafted by the Detroit Lions in the third round (65th overall) on Friday night.
Warford started 37 straight games as the right guard at Kentucky and was all-SEC in 2012
"He's a big man that can anchor and can hold up inside in pass pro(tection),'' Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said. "That was one of the appealing things about him as a player.''
In 2012 Warford made all 12 starts for the Wildcats and led the team in knockdown blocks (45), grading out at 90.3 and he didn't allow a sack.
"I'm pretty aggressive. But more than that I feel that my knowledge of my position and what I'm supposed to be doing is the most important so I can play a lot faster than if I was edgy about that stuff,'' Warford said on a conference call. "I feel like I'm a really great run blocker and pass blocker. I want to try to keep progressing as a player, try to get better and become an expert on my position.''
If there's been a knock on Warford it's his weight and keeping it in control. He's been working out since leaving Kentucky with former NFL center LeCharles Bentley. Warford said it's not so much the pounds as it is the body composition.
He's changed his diet eliminating carbs and changed his weight room work.
As part of the offensive line, Warford will be asked to protect and work with Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson and Reggie Bush.
"II wasn't thinking about that until you said it, my heart leaped a little,'' Warford said. "There's extra motivation. I was in high school when Reggie Bush was at USC that guy was crazy good. … All those guys, it's ridiculous, I'm extremely excited right now.''

This Week in America's Test Kitchen: Shrimp Tempura
A few preliminary attempts at making tempura revealed to the folks at America's Test Kitchen why some Japanese chefs devote their entire careers to this one technique. Success hinges almost entirely on the batter—which is maddeningly hard to get right. They wanted a recipe for perfectly cooked shrimp tempura—light, crisp, and so fresh-tasting that it barely seemed fried.
They settled on using the largest shrimp available, since it's easy to overcook small shrimp. Instead of a wok, they substituted a large Dutch oven, their preferred deep-frying vessel. Cooking the tempura in 400°F oil also helped limit grease absorption. To prevent the batter from clumping on the inside curl of the shrimp, they made two shallow cuts on the underside of its flesh. For the batter, they replaced a bit of the flour with cornstarch to improve the structure and lightness. For a super tender coating, they used a combination of seltzer and vodka instead of the traditional tap water. Seltzer is a little more acidic than tap water and therefore slows down gluten development, while the vodka prevents the formation of gluten. Their tempura was now light and crisp with the essence of sweet, tender shrimp. To see how they did it, watch the video here and then go visit America's Test Kitchen for the recipe.
