Landon Donovan considered the question of milestones. Less than one hour after helping his teammates dispense with the team from Guatemala by scoring two of six goals, the 31-year-old man stood in the cement bowels of Qualcomm Stadium.
Fifty-one international goals. What does that mean?
Nearby conversations trampled over each other. Questions and responses bounced off steel and stone before they were captured in reporters' recorders.
Donovan is quiet. To hear him requires attention. One must lean in.
The goals were nice, he said. Pleasant moments. But at the end of his life he doubted they'd be recalled on his deathbed. So, for now, he would enjoy the moment.
Perhaps it is because he is in the beginning of his third decade that Donovan recognizes the proper place for athletic feats is next to perspective. Aging has a way of helping one sort through the pebbles.
Or maybe it was his time away from the game— absence from club and country that re-calibrated an internal compass that focuses on all things present. Since his return after a self-imposed three month separation, Donovan has been mindful of living the moment and enjoying the present.
For Donovan the joy of the day was playing again for the national team, something he hasn't done since 2012. For the nearly 30,000 fans who watched his return their joy was made sweeter by the drubbing the Yanks handed the Central American country. They, no doubt, expect Donovan to be back on the squad that hopes to play in next year's World Cup.
But Donovan manages his own expectations. He will be 32 then. And he accepts that his future hinges on his performance from game to game. The friendly against Guatemala was a first step in regaining his form and finding a rhythm he must share with other players who are looking for a way to Brazil.
Like the two goals he scored, the moments where his quick passes were unmet or an arcing cross veered off course were fleeting. So too were the bungled exchanges and the haphazard defending that occurred in the game's first 25 minutes.
Those moments were some in a series of events linked together forming a path to this month's Gold Cup with, perhaps, improved performance and—players hope—a call up to the World Cup qualifiers.
Playing, improving, winning and qualifying is a process. One that Donovan says he's enjoying.
As does Joe Corona. In starting the game, Chula Vista's contribution to the national team said he savored the opportunity to play in front of friends, family and fans who typically follow his exploits with Tijuana's Xolos.
Corona knows his road to Brazil is a long one. While he's travelled with the team in World Cup qualifying, his playing time has been limited. His moments have been spent as an observer from the bench or as an occasional sub. But Friday the minutes he played were spent in an unrelenting pursuit not just of the ball but of a regular place in the starting line up.
To have watched midfielder, you wouldn't know that Corona has spent a grueling year playing futbol. First there was his team's defense of its national title beginning in January; at the same there was the continent-hopping demanded by the Xolos' pursuit of the Copa Libertadores trophy, and of course there was the United States attempting to qualify. And now the friendly. And the two-week long Gold Cup tournament. Followed by the beginning of the Xolos summer season at the end of this month. If Corona was worn down—physically or mentally—there was no indication of it when he played at home in Qualcomm.
Maybe that's because Corona knows opportunities are fleeting, too. When the coach gives you the start you do what you can. And then you find a way to do what you can't. Despite playing only one half and not scoring, Corona made the most of his chance. He chased down Guatemalans as if they owed him money. And he delivered some passes with the accuracy of a hillbilly killing a squirrel.
Life is filled with moments. Some of them you will remember some of them you won't. The key is making the most of them all, whether you're a 31-year-old veteran scoring 51 international goals or a hometown kid starting for the red,white and blue.

RV Parks Cropping Up in Calif.'s Wine Country
July 25, 2013 by RVBusiness Comments Off on RV Parks Cropping Up in Calif.'s Wine Country
RV parks are becoming a prevalent part of the landscape in California's wine country, according to a press release.
"The recent opening of another RV Park in the Paso Robles area is no surprise," said Grapeline Wine Tours owner John Kelliher. "Each of the three wine regions we serve has bustling RV Parks, and in our experience, proximity to the wineries is the primary draw."
An article on About.com titled Baby Boomers Create RV Travel Boom stated, "Ultimately, the affordability of RV travel, combined with the comfort, convenience and personal freedom it offers, makes an RV vacation irresistible to many people, including a growing number of Baby Boomers." This travel trend has benefitted many tourism-based towns, including those in the wine industry.
Bonnie Noble, General Manager of the new Vines RV Resort that opened in Paso Robles in April of 2013, says "Vines RV Resort is a much needed, upscale resort in the Paso Robles area. It was built to accommodate the growing tourism in the area and add a "touch of class" to guests staying here."
Guests often book wine tours with local companies rather than driving their RV around to different local wineries. This option not only provides a designated driver, but also a chance to socialize with like-minded individuals. According to Grapeline Wine Tours General Manager, Emily Falappino, there has been a substantial rise in the number of weekday guests being picked up at RV parks in Paso Robles. "Many of these riders are senior citizens who prefer not to drive their RVs down narrow winery drives and through difficult tasting room parking lots."
In My Itchy Travel Feet- The Baby Boomer Guide to Travel, author Donna Hull writes that Paso Robles wine country is an ideal stop for the RV lifestyle. With so many of the elements that seniors desire, Paso Robles wine country offers RV campers a destination "where wine, food, history and ranching culture combine to make a western blend of wine travel fun."
Grapeline Wine Tours began in Temecula in 2002, and expanded to Paso Robles in 2004 and Santa Barbara in 2007. Serving more than 25,000 wine tasters annually, it is the largest wine tour company in Southern and Central California, and also the top rated wine tour company on popular user-review sites Yelp and TripAdvisor. Grapeline offers daily wine tasting tours and picks up guests from all local lodging establishments, including RV Parks.

The Suzuki
LS650P "Savage" is a medium cruiser built by Suzuki Heavy Industries from 1986 until 2005, when it was renamed the S40 "Boulevard", a name it retains to this day. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the Savage is its single massive 652cc cylinder --- it is one of the largest single-cylinder motorcycles you're likely to encounter on the road. Otherwise, it looks much like any other cruiser, with its low center of gravity, forward-mounted foot controls, upright seating position, and raked handlebars.
Reasons why the Savage is awesome mostly center around its engine design. Its engine is easy to maintain; you only have one spark plug, one set of valves, one carburetor, and one cam assembly. In urban traffic, the Savage dominates, since the single cylinder provides excellent low-to-mid range torque, giving it a surprising amount of get-up-and-go. At a dry weight of 352 pounds, it is lighter than most bikes of similar displacement, giving it agile handling in addition to acceleration.
However, the engine design also limits the bike in a number of ways, not the least of which is that one cylinder can only move up and down so fast, which limits how high it can rev. A stock Savage has a top speed of between 82 - 88 mph (140kph), which doesn't compare favorably with most other 650cc-class bikes. The bike's light weight gives it some seriously squirrely handling past 65mph (110kph), especially in gusty conditions. The engine is not counterbalanced, which means the bike vibrates like a jackhammer. This will fatigue even the most iron-assed rider. The belt drive absorbs much of the pulses generated by the engine, but it also introduces some significant energy losses to the power system that make the bike somewhat less fuel-efficient than bikes with chain drives and more up-to-date valve systems. Aftermarket modifications can make up a significant chunk of that difference, but most stock Savages rate around 45-50 mpg. That's still about as good as a Toyota Prius. The fuel tank holds only 2.3 gallons (8.7 L), 0.3 of which are reserve, so that means you're stopping about every 100 miles to fill up.
The Savage is not a fast bike, but if you wanted a fast bike, you'd buy a GSX-R. The Savage is not a comfortable bike, but if you wanted a comfortable bike, you'd buy a Gold Wing. The Savage is a low-maintenance cruiser, ideal for urban commuters who take the occasional trip out to the back roads once in a while when the city gets a bit much for them. It will handle Interstates well enough, but is really at home in twisting back roads and never more than 50 miles from a gas station.

Soleil Moon Frye is pregnant with baby No. 3.
The former "Punky Brewster" star made the announcement Thursday on the "today" show before launching into a segment on "mom-preneurs," a.k.a. entrepreneur moms who have created their own successful companies.
"I have a very big announcement! We have a newest addition to the family here," the "Today" show contributor told Willie Geist and Natalie Morales.
Frye and her husband Jason Goldberg, who she married in 1998, already have two daughters together, Jagger, 5, and Poet, 8.
"Two girls and now a new baby to join the family. Poet and Jagger are so excited," she added. "Obviously I wanted to share it here first."
"I'm so excited I can actually touch my belly now! I've been hiding it for so long!" she added.
A bit earlier, she posted a picture of herself cradling her new belly on her blog, captioning it "Baby Time."
The quintessential 1980s kid parlayed her acting career into a writing career. She has written a parenting memoir titled "Happy Chaos" and will release the party-planning book, "Let's Get This Party Started," on Oct. 14.
Frye also launched a children's app called "Moonfrye" on Thursday and will host a home improvement series called "Home Made Simple" on OWN later this year.

How to handle panhandlers
All it takes is one bad panhandler to ruin your day.
Maybe he got too close when he asked for your spare change, or pestered you after you said no.
On any given day downtown, panhandlers walk the Theater District, Elmwood Avenue, West Chippewa Street or Main Street.
Police estimated there are from 30 to 100 Buffalo panhandlers, depending on the season.
"Panhandling jumps out at you on the streets of Buffalo," said Central District Police Chief Brian Patterson. "Main Street is a vacuum – no vehicles, no retail, no bodies on the street. That's a dynamic that makes panhandling look like it's a bigger problem than it really is."
Getting a handle on panhandling is a rite of spring for city merchants, visitors and police, who view it as a quality-of-life issue. Many municipalities including Buffalo have enacted ordinances that prohibit aggressive panhandling, although enforcing the law is discretionary, police said.
"Panhandling is not a frequent violation," said Patterson, who heads the downtown police district and gives hourlong seminars on panhandling to law firms, merchant associations and other civic groups.
"Police officers use discretion," he said. "They are not required to arrest panhandlers. Usually the action taken is to move them along."
Buffalo's ordinance against aggressive panhandlers was enacted with the blessing of former Police Commissioner H. McCarthy Gipson, who at the time recounted several first-hand encounters with panhandlers at an ATM. The legislation was designed in line with a panhandling law in Rochester that was upheld by the state Court of Appeals.
The Buffalo law prohibits a panhandler from touching you or from coming within an arm's length. It also prohibits panhandling at a bus stop, parking lot or within 20 feet of an ATM. Penalties for first offenders include fines from $25 to $250. For a second conviction within 12 months, the penalty may be up to 15 days in jail. Community service may be given rather than fines.
It takes a complaint for an officer to arrest an aggressive panhandler, said Patterson, who advised people to call police after they have been panhandled.
"If the officer witnesses it, that's different," he said, "but how often do you think a panhandler operates in front of an officer?"
Rarely, according to Buffalo Police Detective Edward M. Cotter, who works downtown.
"If I don't witness the panhandling, it would be a violation trespass," said Cotter. "We go to court. He pleads guilty and gets time served. He spends two days in jail, which does nothing to curb it. He'll just move further down the street."
Cash fuels panhandlers
Jay Manno owns Soho Burger Bar on West Chippewa. When it comes to clearing panhandlers from the sidewalks near his corner business, he is vigilant.
"There are people out there willing to work for food or money," Manno said. "And then there are panhandlers. Most of them are not homeless. Panhandlers are event-driven. The key is not to engage them."
Money fuels panhandlers, agreed Mike Schmand, executive director of Buffalo Place, who stationed three AmeriCorps rangers along Main Street from 3 to 11 p.m. daily. The rangers help discourage panhandling and vagrants, said Schmand, who compared panhandlers to fishermen.
"They only go where the fish are biting," he said.
Handling a panhandler can be a social challenge for people, said Patterson. He described the best response to a panhandler: "A quick look in the eye. It says you are not afraid, and it puts the panhandler on their heels. It takes a second. You are not obligated to speak to the panhandler. In fact, you shouldn't."
"Just keep walking"
One recent day at Main and Court streets, a panhandler approached two young men and asked for change. Although one of the men reached in his pocket, he came up empty-handed, sending the panhandler away.
Matt Hampton, 26, of Cheektowaga, explained why he said no:
"There are some gentlemen who are very respectful and honest with you, and yeah I'll throw them some change in my pocket.
"But most of them I don't, because I know they're going right to the store to buy beer. Sometimes I'll actually take the guy to the store and buy him something to eat instead of giving him money, but some guys just walk up to you and they're rude, saying they need a beer. I'm recovering myself, I'm not going to feed anybody else's habit."
"No one encourages panhandling," said Dale Zuchlewski, a former Buffalo Common Council member who is executive director of the Homeless Alliance of Western New York. But that's what happens when you give panhandlers money.
Zuchlewski said the best approach is to "just keep walking."
He said there are more constructive ways to help such as donating money to a legitimate charity like the Matt Urban Hope Center, Buffalo City Mission or Salvation Army that organizes soup kitchens and outreach centers for the poor.
Way to earn $10 a day
For Allen Baraclough, panhandling is a way to earn $10 a day to supplement his meager disability income.
He would rather be employed, he said, but his ability to get a job is hampered by poor literacy skills. A friend, he explained, helped him spell the words for his sign: "Broke. Please help."
Baraclough, 44, panhandles outside a drive-thru at a restaurant on Main Street across from the University at Buffalo's South Campus. He is one of the sign-carrying panhandlers who station themselves at highway exits and fast-food drive-thrus.
"Some people give, and some don't," said Baraclough, who at 9:30 a.m. was wrapping up his morning shift at the drive-thru. "They look at the sign, and a lot of the people who help say, 'God bless you.' "
Baraclough folded the cardboard sign and put it in his orange cloth bag with other personal belongings. He is not homeless. He said he lives in a one-room apartment on Military Road. On this morning, he was on his way to return a DVD he rented for free with a coupon at Family Video.
"This is really not called panhandling," he said. "Panhandling is asking people for money. I'm holding a sign asking for help. There's nothing wrong with a guy holding a sign who is not approaching anybody. If someone calls the police on me, it could be trespass. My record is clean. I don't drink. I don't do drugs."

From the list above, we like the fact the sites are very clean withouta lot of clutter. The products are really emphasized along with thepackaging as well.
We definitely need to place great importance on theway the products are displayed and how the package will look uponarrival since we are putting products into bundles.It should say "Luxury, Traditional/Classic"

- Lots of white space and the feeling of "expensive"
- Jagged, alised text will almost certainly disqualify you. Please make sure that your anti-aliasing is turned on in Photoshop.

I love the Library of Congress. Not only do they guard a treasure house of literature and historical documents, not only can you buy reprints of amazing historical photographs, but you can actually get plans to build your own timber-frame house! I love the idea that architectural plans can be so accessible; it's really just like a sewing pattern writ large. (And for a different skill set!)
This sweet, tiny, three-story cabin is from 1680; if you don't need a house, you could scale it down to make an awesome playhouse for kids. (Via Lloyd's Blog, which has great posts about everything shelter-related.)

Former President George H.W. Bush backs Romney in GOP race
HOUSTON – George H.W. Bush is formally supporting Mitt Romney's bid for the Republican nomination for president.
The nation's 41st president says Romney is a good man who would make a "great president." And he says it's time for Republicans to unite behind Romney.
The pair, joined by former first lady Barbara Bush, briefly faced reporters Thursday evening in Bush's Houston office to make the endorsement official. The 87-year-old Bush had informally endorsed Romney on multiple occasions in recent months.
One of Bush's sons, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, endorsed Romney last week. Another son, former President George W. Bush, has stayed out of the GOP nomination race.
Romney says he didn't meet with George W. Bush during his two-day Texas visit but speaks to him from "time to time."

This summer I wanted to compare an 8m rally to an 8m catalyst. So, after flying the rally on 20m lines, I decided to put the 8m catalyst on 20m lines. I found that I did not really like the 8m catalyst to much. This was mainly due to the radius of the kite as it looped and the amount of pressure necessary to loop it.
Then, I decided to use the 25m lines on the 8m catalyst. Wow! The difference was night and day. I found the catalyst to be an awesome kite, perfectly tuned to fly on 25m lines. I would NEVER again fly the catalyst on 20m lines. I never knew that the lengths of the lines make such a profound difference in the flight characteristics of a kite.
My question is this: Are other kites so greatly impacted by a shortening/lengthening of line lengths? I see people putting the reo/c4 on shorter lines, are these kites not impacted like the catalyst? How about other brands of kite? What are the recommended line lengths and how do changes in the lines impact the kite? Lastly, what other things are there to consider when shortening/lengthening the lines? (Of course I have already taken into consideration response time, power generation and jumping ability).
Also, does Ozone recommend 25m lines on even their 6m and 4m catalysts? Has anyone tried putting these on shorter lines?

WASHINGTON — The burgeoning sex scandal that has swept up retired Army Gen. David Petraeus, his biographer, Paula Broadwell, and now Petraeus' successor as the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Marine Gen. John Allen, is alarming the small cadre of women advisers who enjoy extraordinary access to top generals based on their expertise and scholarship.
Often coming from non-military backgrounds, these women's work has informed U.S. policy in Iraq and Afghanistan for more than a decade, offering fresh ideas on topics such as local governance, human rights, rule of law and counterinsurgency, with an ability to challenge the commanders from a position of independence.
Now they fear that leaders who have learned to rely on their advice might restrict women from their inner circles to avoid the appearance of impropriety. It was a measure of their concern that none of the women interviewed for this story was willing to attach her name to her remarks.
"One of the things I worry about is that they, in their concern either to protect themselves from this kind of event or from the appearance of something wrong, might think twice about putting a female in that kind of environment again," said one former adviser to Petraeus and other officers. "And therefore, they'd fall back and be enclosed by the system again."
For Petraeus, such women included Kimberly Kagan, a military historian who heads the Institute for the Study of War, and Emma Sky, a British cross-cultural specialist and current fellow at Yale who also advised Gen. Ray Odierno when he was commander of U.S. forces in Iraq.
Other senior commanders also bought into the idea of including outsiders — "free radicals," as one woman put it — in their brain trusts.
Former Time magazine journalist Sally Donnelly was a special assistant to Adm. Mike Mullen, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Marine Gen. James Mattis, currently the head of Central Command, the Tampa, Fla.-based military group that Petraeus and Allen also commanded. Sarah Chayes, an Afghanistan specialist and former journalist, also served as a special assistant to Mullen.
Catherine Dale, a national security reform expert with the Congressional Research Service, advised Gen. David Rodriguez, former commander of forces in Afghanistan. Others are involved in the current planning for potential operations in Africa.
The phenomenon — complete with names — was remarkable enough to be noted in an academic journal, Review of International Studies, last year under the headline, "Gendered practices of counterinsurgency."
"Less commented upon has been the increasingly visible presence of women — white, middle-class, educated women — in the U.S. Department of Defense and in security-related think tanks," wrote the author, Laleh Khalili. "This rise of a particular category of women, espousing a particular species of feminism, is itself indicative of a kind of femininity which is comfortable with, and in fact positively values, breaking through security spaces coded as masculine."
Whether or not they agreed with the academic's take on their small movement, the women conceded that it wasn't easy to gain acceptance, even after it became de rigueur to have a civilian adviser on a general's staff.
"You're female, you're civilian, and you've never served," one former special adviser to senior officers said. "That's the troika that could raise suspicions about what value you could possibly add."
In most cases, several women said, they served as "bridges," connecting top commanders with issues concerning the civilian populations in their areas of operations, whether Baghdad, Kabul or Washington.
Some said they carried themselves modestly by nature and didn't think twice about their mostly male environment; others said they took pains to "overcompensate" for their femininity in the battle theater by avoiding a flirtatious tone of voice, dressing unobtrusively and not making too much eye contact.
Among this panel of serious women academics and analysts, there is a special bitterness about Broadwell, whom many accused of relying on sex appeal rather than expertise for entry into the exclusive generals' club.
They're also disappointed in Petraeus for giving so much access to a young woman whom others in his circle spotted immediately as ill-equipped to write the definitive biography of a man considered a national hero.
"The crime of it was to give her the inferred expertise of an insider when everyone else had to earn that status," said one longtime Petraeus adviser. "They weren't just resentful that she wore tight tops — they were resentful that she was given a status she didn't deserve."
The stories abound — Broadwell wore a halter top to meet a senior commander at the Pentagon, she was given research tasks and job interviews for which she wasn't qualified, she presented herself as a journalist while serving on a panel at the prestigious Aspen Ideas Festival, a gathering of top thinkers from around the globe.
To other women, some of whom tried to mentor her, Broadwell turned on the charm to hide the fact that she was way out of her league.
"She earned something, OK, she went to West Point and she wrote the book, but she didn't have the level of expertise and judgment and, certainly, integrity, of someone who was given such prominence," one of the advisers said.
Before the identity of the Florida socialite who's also embroiled in the scandal was revealed, at least one longtime Petraeus adviser was embarrassed to get e-mails from colleagues asking whether she was "the other woman" who reportedly received threatening messages from Broadwell.
That, she said, is the risk to other women in the field when one woman squanders her coveted entry into the world of the security establishment's mightiest decision-makers. Access and trust are key, she said, to making such high-stakes relationships work in order to move policy on urgent security matters.
"It's so painful to watch because it means that anyone who was seeking to function in a role that requires that kind of relationship got pushed back several yards," the adviser said, "You've basically got a penalty on you because now you have to move back further to make sure no one construes you in that way."

Kansainvälisen rikostuomioistuimen Rooman perussäännön sopimusvaltioiden kokouksen 10. istunto, yleiskeskustelu: oikeuspäällikkö Päivi Kaukorannan pitämä puhe New Yorkissa 14.12.2011
Madam President,
Please let me start by congratulating you, Madame President, on your election as the new President of the Assembly of States Parties. We give you our full support, and wish you every success in this task. We would also like express our sincere thanks to your predecessor, Ambassador Wenaweser for his extraordinary contribution to our work and commend his excellent skill and professionalism in handling the many challenges during his term.
Madam President,
This year has been remarkable in the history of the International Criminal Court. In February, the Security Council, for the first time, unanimously referred the case of Libya to the Court. In October the Pre-Trial Chamber granted the Prosecutor's request to commence an investigation proprio motu in Côte d'Ivoire, and in November a first former head of State was transferred to the custody of the ICC. The number of country situations has grown to seven, the number of judicial proceedings is increasing rapidly. We warmly welcome the many new states that have joined the Rome Statute, as well as the fact that we are now at 120, a greatly symbolic figure. These developments manifest that the international support and determination for ending impunity is increasing and that the ICC has a central role to play in that endeavor.
As the workload of the ICC is increasing, also for reasons beyond the control of the Court, necessary resources have to be ensured for the Court to fulfill the mandate given to it. The budget of the Court in 2012 is of primary importance. Although we must recognize today's dire financial situation, we must not lose sight of the long-term goals of fighting impunity, and ensuring justice to the victims of the most serious crimes.
In addition to sufficient resources, the effective and efficient functioning of the Court is of utmost importance. The Court must take seriously the legitimate expectations of its stakeholders in this regard, and take a proactive role in reviewing its processes, including lessons learned, without delay. We also point out the need to reflect, in the coming year, the role of victims in the ICC process, and whether the current process fully meets the expectations of efficiency and effective participation.
One element of effective functioning is cooperation of states with the Court in accordance with their legal obligations. The number of outstanding arrest warrants continues to be a cause for concern. In the Darfur situation we call on all states, and the Sudanese authorities in particular, to cooperate fully with the Court and to comply with the Security Council resolution 1593. Cooperation is also crucial in areas such as witness protection, enforcement of sentences, or tracing and freezing of assets. We welcome proposals to include more time in the ASP work plan in its future sessions to discuss and share experiences on these matters.
Madam President,
The Court is and it should be an instance of last resort. The primary responsibility to investigate and prosecute for the Rome Statute crimes lies with states themselves. As we know, it is not always possible to investigate and prosecute for such crimes at the national level. In these situations the ICC has an important role in filling the gap at the international level. It is consistent with the Statute that the international community recognizes the role of national proceedings. To this end, states should also consider providing assistance to strengthen the rule of law structures at the national level.
There are also a number of ways in which the international community can assist in investigating and prosecuting most serious international crimes at the national level. I would like to mention two examples. First is the Justice Rapid Response mechanism, which is a multilateral stand-by facility to deploy rapidly criminal justice and related professionals, trained for international investigations and at the service of States and international institutions. Finland supports Justice Rapid Response and welcomes the increasing use of this mechanism.
Second example is the Legal Tools Project of the ICC. The project has created a free public platform, the Legal Tools Database, containing over 50.000 documents on international criminal law and providing equal access to legal sources and information for practitioners both at national and international levels.
Madam President,
In the near future, the ICC will give its first ever judgment in the Lubanga case. This will mark a significant milestone in the functioning of the Court. Depending on the outcome, the Rome Statute's provisions on reparations could be implemented for the first time. Finland has underlined the need for more clarity with regard to the principles to be applied, as well as the need for early court-wide preparation in order to ensure a smooth process. Clear and relevant communication will play a crucial role, including in managing expectations.
Apart from the issue of reparations, relevant and focused outreach is an essential component of the Court's activities. The ICC is an international court which needs to ensure that its processes are understood by the most affected communities, or else they risk becoming irrelevant. In addition, without effective outreach and access to information the victims will not be able to practice their right to participate. This was demonstrated by the recent decision by the Pre-Trial Chamber III authorising the investigations in the situation of Cote d'Ivoire, where it specifically requested the Registry to carry out further outreach to potentially under-represented groups of victims, such as victims from other ethnic groups, children, women, and those who had suffered sexual violence, in addition to the affected communities as a whole.
I would like to conclude by highlighting the positive development that this year has seen a significant increase in voluntary donations to the Trust Fund for Victims. This is even more important given the current economic climate. We hope that this is a continuing trend. We acknowledge the central role the Trust Fund for Victims has in efforts to bring justice to the victims, and I wish to reiterate Finland's gratitude to the Board and Secretariat of the Trust Fund for their hard work and dedication.
I thank you.

Nebraska's unemployment rate drops
Nebraska's unemployment rate drops
OMAHA, Neb. —
The Nebraska Department of Labor says the state's unemployment rate dropped to 3.7 percent in November - the lowest the rate has been in four years.
The preliminary jobless rate was down from October's rate of 3.8 percent and well below the 4.3 percent seen a year ago.
Labor Commissioner Catherine Lang says the last time the monthly rate for Nebraska was as low was in November 2008.
The state's November rate was less than half the national rate of 7.7 percent in November. The national rate is down from October's 7.9 percent and last November's 8.7 percent.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - The LSU wide receiving corps is one of the more questioned aspects of the team this season. With Rueben Randle now catching with the New York Giants, a talented, yet somewhat unproven group of Tiger receivers have been left behind. One of them is junior James Wright from Belle Chasse, Louisiana. Wright gives LSU a big target on paper, standing 6'2 and weighing 205 yards. Yet through his first two seasons he's only caught 7 passes for 62 yards. Can he make a bigger impact this year?
"Over the years I've grown to realize the defenses and stuff," says Wright, "Things that are hard to recognize when you first get here because of the speed of the game. But over time I've learned to get comfortable and understand how things work better."
Head coach Les Miles and first year receivers coach Adam Henry have done their best to teach and instruct #82.
"They've let me know I've got to beat man coverage. I need to be able to identify defenses and make plays on the ball. Just to be relaxed."
According to statistics released by LSU, Wright hauled in a 31-yard touchdown strike from quarterback Zach Mettenberger in the team's first major scrimmage. Wright, like basically everyone else, is very excited about the offensive possibilities this season with Mettenberger.
"Because he can make every throw," Wright says adamantly, "You never know when you can get the ball, because he can squeeze it into any hole. You always have to be ready."
With his efforts, Wright feels his confidence likewise building.
"I think I have the ability to make the play, when it needs to be made. If it's at the high point, I think I can make it. The good thing about our wide receivers…each one has the ability to go up and get it."
LSU will hold their final major scrimmage of fall camp Tuesday. If he does well, Wright could earn some playing time alongside fellow receivers Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry and Russell Shepard.
"Every scrimmage is big, for every side of the ball. It's important to make the plays that's designed for us. And we create the confidence in the group to throw the ball."

Cuban Rounds ToroView details
Cuban Rounds Toro cigars are short filler cigars that were introduced early in 2006. They are immediately recognizable for their bands' resemblance to another very popular cigar, from an equally popular island 90 miles south of Miami. To date, they have become a favorite choice for budget-minded cigar smokers. Using a blend of all Cuban-seed Nicaraguan tobaccos, the cigars offer a medium-to-full body. Nicaraguan puros. A good every day cigar that won't break your budget.

We may have come to love Leighton Meester as fresh-faced, headband-loved Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, but this year, she's channeled her inner rockstar for a successful singing career — and some serious makeup in the process. Nothing says rocker chick like smoky eyes, but this geometric version might be a bit too extreme to play anywhere off the stage, at least for most of us. But we want to know what you think! Tell us: Would you wear a super-smoky eye like Leighton?

Bringing the Commission Report to life
By Ronda Kaysen
Path to 9/11 executive producer Marc Platt has an impressive resume. He produced Legally Blonde and Legally Blonde 2, the creepily funny Happy Endings, the HBO miniseries Empire Falls and the Broadway shows Wicked and Three Days of Rain with Julia Roberts.
He recently shared his thoughts with Downtown Express about the Path to 9/11, an ABC miniseries based on the 9/11 Commission Report starring Harvey Keitel as John ONeill, the FBI agent who tracked Al Qaeda in the 1990s when no one else cared and died in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. The five-hour mini-series will air with virtually no ad interruptions on Sept. 10 and Sept. 11.
You tend to produce light entertainment flicks like Legally Blonde and Happy Endings. What made you take on a political miniseries?
Im not sure its political. Its really historical in the sense that it details events that are part of our history. I got a phone call from ABC and they asked me if Id read the 9/11 Commission Report. Sadly, I must confess, that like most Americans, I had not. I went out and bought it and read it. I was slightly daunted by the size of it. I found myself almost immediately absorbed in it. It almost reads like a political thriller and you realize this is as factual an account as there can be and I was awestruck by that
I realized as a citizen, as a father of five children, as someone who lives in both L.A. and New York, I felt a sense of responsibility. I cant think of a better use of my time than taking this daunting document and adapting it into a medium that would be more accessible.
What do you hope audiences will get out of it?
Theyll be motivated to pick up this report and read it.
Why five hours? Why not make a feature-length film?
It was hard enough to take the story and reduce it to slightly under five hours. I dont know if the essence of the full story could have been told if it were any shorter. One could have made a 12-hour miniseries about this.
There are a lot of 9/11 movies coming out this year because of the five-year anniversary. Why should people see your movie?
This is a story that hasnt been told and isnt being told anywhere else. It isnt really about the day. The major portion of the show isnt about the unfortunate and horrific carnage of 9/11. We begin in 1993the first World Trade Center bombing, which many people outside of New York have forgotten about. Its a very new story because its what happened before 9/11.
Have you seen Oliver Stones World Trade Center, or Paul Greengrasss United 93?
No. Have you?
Have you read The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation, a graphic novel based on the commission report, by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón?
I heard about that. It seems so odd to me. Someone was describing it to me.
Where were you on 9/11?
I was in L.A. I was awoken shortly before 6 a.m. by a friend who said, Turn on the T.V. I witnessed it mostly on my T.V. set. Like so many people whose lives were touched, I lost a former NYU Law School colleague of mine who perished at the World Trade Center
I remember coming to the city a few days after the planes started flying again and coming back to my apartment [near Lincoln Center] and I couldnt believe how silent the city was. It was very unsettling. I remember as we were auditioning for Wicked and starting to work on this musical, my early memory was hearing the sirens of the funerals of the fireman. And bells ringing.
If you could meet one of the people portrayed in the film, who would it be?
John ONeill.
What would you ask him?
How did you know?
Was it hard casting people who everyone knows, like Condoleezza Rice and Dick Cheney?
You do the best you can in casting. In most instances were very precise. Its not only finding someone who physically resembles someone, its finding someone who can act.
Has producing the film changed your feelings about Osama bin Laden or Mohamed Atta?
My feelings havent changed. Is there a deeper sense of the divide among the cultures of the world there? Yes, perhaps. But not my feelings about those particular individuals. For those of us who are law-abiding citizens who value human life, its hard to imagine any issue that could override that.
How did you create Islamabad and Afghanistan, which were shot in Morocco?
Its doing a lot of research and, in some instances, great art design. The embassy of Yemen is shot in Toronto. Thats part of making a film.
You portray a lot of powerful people in the miniserieslike former CIA director George Tenet and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Do you worry about pissing some of them off?
Its inevitable that there will be criticisms from people who say you didnt treat me fairly. Theres likely to be partisan discussions. There may even be some within different agencies. Thats to be expected. We tried very hard to communicate the essence of whats in that report. There was a colossal failure. The balance of how we viewed the world was different pre-9/11. In a certain way, everyone involved [is partly to] blame. We were living in a different world and thats whats hopefully been communicated. Theres a whole thing on what was going on with Monica Lewinsky. Thats where we were as a country. Our focus was on Monica Lewinsky.
Will there be sequel?
I hope not.
What would it be about?
Only time can write the sequel. One would like to imagine that what lies in store for us is that there is no sequel because there is no event that has occurred, but theres resolution instead. I dont know if thats possible, I dont think its practical, but its always good to hope.

Alongside the announcement of Facebook's Android replacement launcher, Facebook Home, we got our first official look at the device that will run it right out of the box: the HTC First. Available April 12 (just over a week away now) for $99 on contract, the HTC First is an LTE-enabled AT&T device with modest specs and a minimal design.
Coming in black, white, red and light blue, the First features a blank body with nothing but a camera on both sides and three capacitive buttons on its face. Under the hood you'll find a Snapdragon 400 chip powering a 4.3-inch display, with Android 4.1 running underneath Home.
Nothing about the hardware is particularly impressive. Early hands on reports say things like, "It looks and feels every inch a $99.99 phone," but the HTC First is all about the software. Exactly how much different Facebook Home will be on the First as opposed to other phones remains to be seen. We know there will be deeper notification integration, and we're guessing more will be added as time goes on.
Those of you looking to pre-order HTC First can do so now. Off contract, the First will be $450.

Lipscomb Associate AD Brent High reports in from Honduras on day four of the Softball mission trip.
Day four has come and gone here in the mountains of southern Honduras. What a myriad of experiences today has brought. We spent another day at the worksite and actually reached a significant milestone when we finished loading in the fill dirt that brought the floor to level. I would estimate that we moved 350 cubic yards of dirt one wheelbarrow at a time between Wednesday and today. We had to reposition two piles of concrete mix one wheelbarrow at a time and we had to move all of the concrete mixing equipment and water reservoir by hand to the next level so we could finish loading in the fill dirt.
Once again, I can't begin to describe to you the level of manual labor these girls endured over the past three days. Bear Bryant had Junction, Texas. The high school team made famous by the movie "Remember the Titans" had their camp near Gettysburg. It may be said after this season that the 2013 Lady Bison Softball team had San Marcos de Colon.
Once again, in between wheelbarrow loads, we did our best to strengthen relationships with the local children. We handed out another 50 Lipscomb jerseys and two gigantic bags of candy and still didn't have enough. We gave them a new basketball to add to the soccer ball, football and baseball equipment we gave them over the last two days.
By today the girls started to know the kids and would call to them by name. Luis, Ricardo, Maria, Alan, Manuel and Enoch are absolute favorites.
We saw an amazing shift in the behavior of the kids today. For the first two days they would sit on the porch of the house across the street and watch us. They would play in the street and when we took a break would be quick to corral us into a game of one kind or another. Today they went to full on work right beside us. No one asked them to. The next thing we knew these kids who were probably 8, 9 and 10 years old were running wheelbarrows, shovels and five-gallon buckets alongside us. They completely re-energized our group and helped us complete our objective. Some in the group questioned if they were really angels.
We only had one truckload of dirt left to go when the bottom absolutely dropped out of the heavens and a grade-A Central American monsoon set in for a good hour. It ripped the concrete out of the street that some of the city workers had been putting in earlier in the day. I would guess that about four inches of rain fell in that hour. We sought shelter under the roof of the house across the street that hung over the porch. Very quickly the owner of the house invited us in and invited us to sit down on his couches. Then he brought out hot ears of corn for everyone. The hospitality from these people who obviously had next to nothing was very humbling and moving to all of us.
The rain let up enough for us to get all the dirt from the last load into the footprint of the house. It was a muddy, sloggy, slippery, inefficient process but we did it. There were dozens of people still sheltering from the rain along the street watching us work. I told the girls that they earned major respect points from the locals in that last push.
My personal biggest thrill of the day was having Juan, the foreman on the construction crew say to me, "Tu espanol es muy bueno!"
Tomorrow is going to be a much different day. We haven't told the girls yet but we'll go on a four-hour horseback trip to the top of a mountain to see the Mission Lazarus coffee plantation among other things.
Please continue to pray for us. Three extremely hard, labor-filled days in the books and still everyone is healthy and strong. We are all just very, very tired.
I can't write one of these updates without expressing appreciation to all of the people who give their hard-earned money so these kind of experiences can happen. Thank you!

DURHAM — Drivers on Route 4 may notice some unusual animals chomping on the grass over the next few weeks.
Two Scottish Highlander cattle will graze their way around the South Pasture at the historic Emery Farm in Durham. The cattle, named Storm and Cloud, are from Miles Smith Farm in Loudon.
Miles Smith Farm has their free range cattle go to numerous farms around the area. Their purpose as the month rolls along will be eating the grass at the farm.
Miles Smith Farm co-owner Carole Soule said the cattle are more efficient than having the field be mowed by machines.
"When you bring cattle to do the job 80% of what they eat grows back," Soule said. "We bring cows here wherever grass is available."
Soule said the cattle will eat 40-60 pounds a day. She added they give them foods they like, including hay in order to get them interested in other material such as weeds.
"The cattle like eating the grass so much better than eating hay," Soule said. "We call them our machines. They're our 'lawn mooers.'"
Touting her similar locks of hair, Soule said it was through the successful partnership with Emery Farm that has worked in both their favors.
"It's the perfect spot for them," Emery Farm co-owner Brad Towle said.
Since this past May, around 16 cattle have grazed at Emery Farm. This is the first time they will be seen alongside the road for the public to view as they drive by the farm.
In addition to mowing and maintaining the areas around the farm, the cattle will be fertilizing the land. Soule said if they had mowed the land they would have removed all of the nutrients.
"With the cattle it goes directly from the animal and goes back into the land," Soule said.
Towle agreed the cattle work better because there are pieces of land that the tractor and mower would have trouble reaching. The land, which used to grow vegetables for Emery Farm, might be rejuvenated for future use.
"They're better at getting into places where we can't get to," Towle said. "Eventually we might get this field back."
Farm owner David Hills was pleased with how well the cattle have done. After providing the land for Storm and Cloud, Hills helped with the fencing costs.
"They truly are magnificent animals and they've been doing an incredible job of clearing our fields," Hills said in a previously released statement.
Miles Smith Farm sells their beef at the farm as well as other places including Young's and Johnson's Steak and Seafood restaurant. It began its operations in the 1850s by Miles Smith and is currently owned by Soule and Bruce Davison.
Emery Farm began by Joseph Smith in 1655 and is the oldest operating farm in America.
Soule said before machinery took over,cattle were the primary mowing source for farms.
"This is the way it used to be done," Soule said. "You move the cattle where the grass is and they'll do their thing. It's really the way we used to do things."

It's not really a book as some people are saying ,more of a snapshot of a terrible time in her life . If any of our diaries were read by other people certainly parts would be boring ,they are diaries not books . I found it fascinating and sad knowing as someone else said how it all ended .It was a window into a world we all hope and pray never happens to us .
Personally I didn't like this book I found it was quite boring and slow, but for some people this book will be a really good read.
Guess it's just not the right kind of book for me.
I read this for the "a historical non-fiction book" part of my 2018 reading challenge. I think I enjoyed it more now than I did when I read it in school, Anne's diary is a terrific reflection of all girls growing up, and the additional trials of living in close quarters with other people.
i like what I've been reading about. It's about world war two, describing how a young girl hiding in a secret room, trying to not let the Nazi found them before the war ends.
Yolanda, 10
Anne Frank tells the autobiographical tale of a young Jew living during the Holocaust time period: in the words of her own diary. Stunningly real and true, Anne is forced to move into a secret passage alongside another family in hiding from the Nazis. "Secret Annex" is what the hideaway is called, where Anne spends most of her years and writes in her diary of the travails and all the happy moments in that Annex. The most appeasing part of this book is that it is a play by play diary that highlights all the good and bad times she experienced, and in such a manner that you feel for the real Anne Frank and it seems as though you know her well. The beginning pages show memorabilia such as photos of herself and transcripts she scribes that are a nice accompaniment. There may be times, however, when you lose interest in some parts of her entries, but that is only part of the splendor that she was not writing a novella that she planned on publishing; rather a story of her life. Rating 4/5

Is this an amazing work of literature? No, clearly not but that's ok. It tells the important story of Franks and Van Daans during their time in hiding. It was not a book I enjoyed reading (partially because it is a a diary and partially because I already knew the fate of the author) and often found myself forcing myself to read it, but I am glad I did. It was a good complement to visiting Auschwitz and the Anne Frank house earlier this year.
Anne wished to become a writer. She did, and left a legacy that has educated millions. This work is an important read.
I have been to the Anne Frank House and I'm not ashamed to say that it brought me to tears. Seeing her posters still on the walls of the Secret Annex was especially emotional. This diary is a testament to the spirit and courage Anne showed despite extremely heartbreaking and frightening circumstances. A must read.
Don't get me wrong here, the story is amazing, I just don't find the book all that great. I felt as if this book was a lot like unwanted homework, I just wanted to finish reading it and get it over with. Even though I didn't really appreciate the book, I did appreciate the amazing story of Anne Frank. If you ever find yourself reading this book, and it feels like unwanted homework, just skip to the end to read about her life. Her summarized life story is a much easier and better read. I only recommend reading this book if you wish to go more in depth into the life of Anne Frank.

I simply can't imagine the world will ever be normal again for us. I do talk about "after the war", but it's as if I were talking about a castle in the air, something that can never come true.
"I've found that there is always some beauty left -- in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you."
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.
"At such moments I don't think about all the misery, but about the beauty that still remains..."
What's done cannot be undone, but at least you can keep it from happening again. - Anne Frank
"The best remedy for those who are frightenend, lonely or unhappy is to go outisde, somewhere they can be alone with the sky, nature and God. For then and only then can you feel that everything is as it should be and that God wants people to be happy amid nature's beauty and simplicity...as long as this exists, I know there will be solace for every sorrow. - Anne Frank

Who will Catholics vote for in November—Obama or McCain?
"Sorry to tell you this, Sen. McCain, but a good number of the Catholics I know are not certain to light candles at the Republican political altar. Some of us who rode McCain's Straight Talk Express before the Republican commitment to a balanced budget put us on track toward a $400 billion deficit appreciate his confessed desire to redeem himself as a faithful conservative. But there are suspicions. After all, hanging out with Joe Lieberman and Russ Feingold comes well within the Latin canon: Similes similibus gaudent.

Obama's Problem: Where's the Change?
John McCain has criticized his own party's failures and gone against Republican orthodoxy. Has Barack Obama ever gone against his party's line?

"Politician Obama's support for abortion rights is the most extreme of any Democratic senator...

Thousand Cankers Disease
Thousand cankers disease (TCD) is a disease complex native to the western United States and primarily affects black walnut Juglans nigra. This disease is the result of the combined activity of a fungus (Geosmithia morbida) and the walnut twig beetle (Pityophthorus juglandis).
Thousand cankers disease currently threatens millions of black walnut trees in forests and urban areas, an important species with great economic and ecological value throughout its native range. Several quarantines have been established in an attempt to prevent the disease from spreading.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker Cobras split their Conference Carolinas baseball double-header with #24 ranked Erskine College on Saturday afternoon, with the Flying Fleet defeating the Cobras handedly in the first game, 19-2, but Coker bounced back with a 7-4 win in the rubber game of the series. Erskine captured the 2-1 series win and moves to 23-7 on the year and 10-4 in conference play, while Coker is now 16-14 overall and 8-10 in the conference.
Game one looked like it might be a close one, as Coker took a 1-0 lead in the second inning. The lead was short lived as Erskine's Bryan Fogle cleared the bases with a grand slam to deep centerfield , giving the Fleet a 4-1 lead. The Fleet gave themselves a nice cushion in the fourth, thanks to nine runs and then added six more runs in the sixth with the help of a pair of homers from Drew Willingham and Matt Youngblood. Coker did add a solo run in the fifth, but the Fleet cruised to the easy 19-2 win.
As a team Erskine had four home runs in the game and nine extra base hits.
Carlton Watts (5-0) kept his perfect record on the mound for the Fleet, going seven innings, allowing just two runs on six hits with six strikeouts to earn the win.
Coker's Tyler Witzel (West Melbourne, Fla.) (3-3) took the loss. He allowed 11 runs on eight hits with a pair of strikeouts in three innings of work.
Greg Huff had four hits including a home run with three RBIs and two runs scored to pace the Fleet, while John bolding picked up three hits with a double, an RBI and two runs scored. Fogle finished the day 1-for-3 with a grand slam home run and four RBIs and Willingham had a team high five RBIs with a double and a home run.
Jordan Buenting (Ankeny, Iowa) was a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate with a double for the Cobras, while Brinley Griffin (Port St. John, Fla.) and Daniel Hiatt (Elwood, Ind.) each drove in a run for Coker.
In game two, Coker was able to score seven runs in the first four innings, while pitcher Matt Long (Florence, S.C.) silenced the Erskine bats through five innings to give the Cobras a 7-0 going into the sixth. The Fleet finally cracked Long in the sixth, scoring four runs before Jonathan Gainey (Hartsville, S.C.) came on to stop the bleeding and close out the game for the Cobras.
Long (7-2) picked up his team high seventh win of the season, going 5.2 innings, allowing four runs on five hits with a strikeout, while Gainey (1) earned his first save of the year with a inning and a third performance that held Erskine scoreless, while allowing just one hit.
Russell Reid (6-3) was tagged with the loss, as he allowed seven runs on 10 hits in 3.2 innings on the hill for Erskine.
Matthew Kearnes (Bay Shore, N.Y.) drove in two runs on three hits for Coker, while Buenting had a triple and two RBIs and Nick Fuoco (Palm Bay, Fla.) had a pair of hits, including a double with an RBI.
Willingham was the lone member of the Fleet with multiple hits; he finished the game 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs, while Fogle and Chas Anthony each had a double with an RBI and a run scored.
Coker 's next game will be on Tuesday, March 23, when they play host to the Sand Sharks of USC-Beaufort in a non-conference game starting at 3:00 p.m. at Tom J. New Field.

Is the web cam being moved closer, or is it slipping?

Now I might have this wrong, but I think one of the experts said that the chick's markings were vertical stripes and the parent birds had horizontal markings...

Hi Karen,
I think it is just the enlargement focus on the camera that is 'slipping'. I think Nick can reset it.

In reply to John's posting last night -
I'm not an expert, but yes I did say that the juveniles have vertical streaks on their undersides whereas the adults have finer horizontal stripes. This is probably the easiest way of separating them via the webcam where the colours tend to get a bit washed out.
All four birds were present on the East face of the cathedral at about 8.00 last evening but just sitting around. A friend of mine saw all four flying around Cathedral Green last Friday afternoon with the juveniles appearing to play tag with the adults.

talking of striped birds i know a cockateal is nothing like a pereguin (though ours probably has a beak as vicious) but you can tell sexes in the cockateal by there stripes. Apparently the male has them while the female is stripeless so this could be the same ruling with the falcons.
Thought this bit of info might confuse the matter even more!!

For telling the adults and juveniles apart in the webcam, I tend to prefer looking at the top of their heads. The adults all have perfect uniform-coloured heads (greyish), whereas the juveniles have slight patches of white in them (and are browning in real life) This trick fails completely if the birds are sodden, as they all then look the same - wet and streaky.

Here are some thoughts after the first three rounds of the draft.
Going into the draft, we knew the Eagles needed to address the cornerback situation.
But looking back, it probably should have been obvious all along that if the Eagles did not get one of the top three corners - Patrick Peterson, Prince Amukamara, Jimmy Smith - they were likely going to have to address this need via free agency or a trade.
And so that's where we are after two days. The Eagles picked up Utah State cornerback Curtis Marsh in the third round Friday night, but considering his limited experience and the fact that he converted to defense just a couple years ago after beginning his college career as a running back, it seems extremely unlikely that he'll compete for a starting job in 2011.
Let's look at the Eagles' cornerback situation as a whole. Asante Samuel is the starter; Joselio Hanson is the nickel; Trevard Lindley and Marsh should settle in as the fourth and fifth corners on the roster.
We still don't know when free agency or trades are going to be allowed, but whenever that happens, we can now say with near certainty that the Eagles' No. 1 priority (by a longshot) will be to find a corner to play opposite Samuel on the right side.
Which brings us to...
His name started to get mentioned pretty much as soon as Michael Vick's season-ending pass was intercepted by Tramon Williams in the wild-card round at the Linc: Nnamdi Asomugha.
The Pro Bowl cornerback will be the most sought-after free agent on the market. Just last night, ESPN's Adam Schefter pointed out that the bidding could start in the NFC East with the Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins. None of the three teams spent a first- or second-round pick on a cornerback.
Schefter threw the Ravens in there too, even though they drafted Smith in the first round. And there could be a large number of other suitors as well.
Asomugha has not been hurt at all by the lockout. If anything, it might help him. By the time teams are allowed to pursue Asomugha, much of their rosters will be set. The draft will be over and their needs will be as well-defined as ever. For a team like the Eagles that is expecting to compete for a Super Bowl in the next couple years, the difference between adding a player like Asomugha and other options at cornerback is enormous. The same can probably be said for others.
Meanwhile, Kolb finds himself in quite the opposite situation. In the first two rounds, six QB-needy teams drafted that position: the Panthers, Titans, Jaguars, Vikings, Bengals and 49ers.
Had this been just a regular offseason, I'm fairly certain that Kolb would be gone and the Eagles would have a one or two more players on their roster after the first two rounds.
Instead, the Birds continue to wait and see when they'll be able to make a deal. And the market for Kolb shrinks. Who's left among the QB-needy teams? The Raiders, Broncos, Bills, Cardinals, Browns, Redskins, Seahawks and Dolphins.
The most likely teams among that group to make a move are probably the Cardinals and Seahawks, but Arizona has been linked to veteran Marc Bulger. Whenever the dust settles and teams are allowed to make a deal, it will be interesting to see just what the market is for Kolb. As some of you pointed out via Twitter, all it takes is one or two teams. And that's true. I still tink Kolb will get dealt, but we'll see just how much the lockout hurt the Birds in terms of compensation.
In the second round, the Eagles took Temple safety Jaiquawn Jarrett. So how does he fit in?
Well, it could mean that free agent Quintin Mikell is gone. Let's say, for a moment, that that's going to be the case. Here are the players likely to make up the Eagles' secondary: Samuel, veteran RCB to be named later, Joselio Hanson, Lindley, Marsh, Jarrett, Nate Allen and Kurt Coleman. Of that group, five of eight players figure to be first- or second-year players.
If you throw in the veteran cornerback, six of eight figure to be in their first or second seasons with the Eagles - Samuel and Hanson being the exceptions.
For that reason, I'm not ready to say that Mikell is 100 percent out of here. Couldn't those young players benefit from a veteran presence? And it's not like Mikell is a liability. He's still one of the better players on the Eagles' roster.
It will come down to what the market is for him and how many teams need to add safeties after the draft.
Either way, the Jarrett addition immediately creates competition for Coleman, last year's seventh-round pick, who eventually became a starter after Allen went down.
I think the Eagles like Coleman, but remember, just because a guy sees the field as a rookie does not guarantee him a roster spot the next season. There's always new competition. Just ask Macho Harris, who started as a rookie in '09 and then was cut the following year.
The second-year players are probably hurt the most by the lockout. We'll see how much the Birds can count on guys like Coleman, Jamar Chaney, Keenan Clayton, Brandon Graham, Daniel Te'o-Nesheim and Lindley to make that leap in 2011.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy hooked up in an old fashioned pitchers dual this afternoon in the opening game of a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference baseball series. MIT junior Aric Dama (Winfield, Ill.) and Coast Guard junior Derek Petty (Parker, Col.) dueled into the eighth inning when the Engineers scratched across a run to take a 2-1 victory.
Dama allowed a leadoff infield hit to senior Eddie Kalankiewicz (San Diego, Calif.) to start the game, but came back to strike out the next two hitters before picking off Kalankiewicz as he attempted to steal second. From there Dama was nearly unhittable through the first six innings, allowing just a two-out single in the third.
Petty was nearly as good, allowing just three singles through his first five innings. The Bear's defense took care of the three base runners that MIT got on base as the Engineers lined into a pair of double plays and had another runner thrown out attempting a steal of second.
In the bottom of the sixth MIT (9-7, 2-5 NEWMAC) broke through with the first run of the game. With one down sophomore Sean Karson (Winter Park, Fla.) drew the first walk of the day off Petty. After Petty came back to strike out the next hitter, freshman Reid Bishop (Cypress, Texas) stroked a double to the fence in center, scoring Karson.
Coast Guard (8-12, 2-5 NEWMAC) came right back in the top of the seventh to tie it. Junior Joe Petry (Worcester, Mass.) led off with a single. Dama got the next two hitters on ground outs, with Petry moving to second on the first out of the inning. Junior Ed Sella (Silver Spring, Md.) then came up with the big two-out hit, tripling to right center to tie the game.
Karson led off the eighth for MIT and legged out an infield hit to third. He then moved up to second on sacrifice bunt from sophomore Jon Rea (Palo Alto, Calif.), and then to third on a ground out to second. Petty then threw a high pitch that was just out of the reach of his catcher, allowing Karson to scamper home with what proved to be the winning run.
Dama retired the side in order in the eighth and got the first two in the ninth before giving up a single to junior Eddie Babkiewich (Golden, Colo.). Junior Henry Zhu (Overland Park, Kan.) then came out of the bullpen to nail down the game for Dame, striking out the final hitter to record his second save of the season. Dama allowed just five hits in his eight and two-third innings, striking out eight without walking a batter to pick up the win. Petty finished with six hits and two runs allowed in his eight innings, striking out one and walking two.
Sophomore Creed Mangrum (Sandy, Utah) was the only player in the game with multiple hits, going 2-for-3 to extend his hitting streak to seven games for MIT.
With a good chance of rain tomorrow, the doubleheader originally scheduled for tomorrow at Coast Guard has been moved back to Sunday at Noon.
