But unlike last year's Galaxy S4, there's a good chance some of the new features announced could be of actual use to normal human beings.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of course, a few minutes with the Galaxy S5 wasn't enough time to reach a full verdict on the phone, but it was enough to get a basic feel for what Samsung's (SSNLF) latest offering can and can't do.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Display&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 5.1 inch display has the same 1080p resolution as last year's 5-inch screen, but due to some new technology, it's definitely brighter, which at the very least, makes everything look nicer. And according to Samsung, the special technology which makes that screen brighter also improves performance in direct sunlight. At the expense of your battery, of course.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fingerprint Scanner&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Like the iPhone 5S, the fingerprint scanner is probably the most eye-catching of the new features, which adds an extra level of security and/or convenience to the device. While it does require you to swipe your whole finger pad over the sensor (unlike the iPhone, which simply lets you place it on the sensor), it worked smoothly the few times I was able to use it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Power Saver&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Battery life matters! Samsung put a slightly bigger battery in the Galaxy S5, but the more important thing was to offer up a useful power saver feature which lets you know what parts of the phone to turn off, and how much battery life that will gain you. It's most extreme mode will actually shut down LTE, cut you off from the vast majority of your apps, and turn the screen grey scale, apparently allowing it to last for days without a charge</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Related: 5 ways to fix the Samsung Galaxy S</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Camera&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Samsung's new phase detection auto-focus means that the camera is now capable of a nice blur effect in the background when you photograph an object up close. The shutter was reasonably fast with bright indoor light, though it did seem to have trouble handling a couple of weird lighting situations and slowed down considerably. How much the image quality has or hasn't improved over the S4 is still to be determined, however.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Weatherproofing&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There was no way to really test how worthy the water and dust-resistant features were (save for dumping a bottle of water on it?), but if the weatherproofing is half as good as Samsung claims it is, everyone wins.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hardware Design&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The hardware design of the phone isn't much better, or even different, than it has been in years' past. If you like it, you like it. (I don't.) The texture and material used on the back is much improved and makes the phone feel less cheap when you're holding it, but the colors to choose from are mildly depressing. And when it comes to size and pocketability, at this point, everyone should already know what they're getting into when they buy a 5-inch phone. The Galaxy S5 is big, but it's not completely unwieldy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Software Design&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Samsung's TouchWiz UI is back in its same fundamental form, but it does look better, visually speaking. Fonts and icons generally look cleaner, but everything is still organized in the same manner as past TouchWiz iterations. That said, it doesn't seem like a huge improvement over anything offered up by the likes of Google (GOOG, Fortune 500), Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500), Nokia (NOK), or even HTC. And Samsung still hasn't done much to improve the experience running two apps side-by-side.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Heart Rate Monitor&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I mean, I guess it's cool Samsung put this on the phone? It doesn't detract from anything at all, but this sensor definitely seems more useful in its new Gear Fit wearable.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">At the very least, many of the features included in <a href="http://handphonesamsung.info/review-handphone-samsung-galaxy-s5.html">samsung Galaxy S5</a> have more potential than the new features included in last year's model. To what extent that potential is realized will take a little more hands-on time however.</div></content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/5971309176742743870'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/5971309176742743870'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deloquenosehabla.blogspot.com/2014/02/first-impressions-of-samsung-galaxy-5.html' title='First impressions of the Samsung Galaxy 5'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05122980649565806289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911113615887848042.post-4744807560263297487</id><published>2014-02-25T22:44:00.003-08:00</published><updated>2014-02-25T22:45:01.826-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sports"/><title type='text'>Analyzing Raymond Felton's gun charges, future in NBA</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">New York Knicks point guard Raymond Felton has been charged with three offenses under New York law for unlawful possession of a firearm. The most serious is second-degree criminal possession, a felony charge that carries a minimum sentence of three and a half years behind bars. Felton's charges stem from his estranged wife, Ariane Raymondo-Felton, reportedly handing over a Belgian pistol (FNH 5.7x28 mm) to New York police and claiming it belonged to Felton. Raymondo-Felton's decision to turn over the gun appears connected to a heated argument Felton may have had with his girlfriend, whose name has not been released by law enforcement.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The charges</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately for Felton, New York is probably the worst state to be charged with illegal possession of guns. Prosecutors do not need to establish how Felton obtained the gun or why he possessed the gun, only that he possessed the gun. Felton has thus been charged with a strict liability offense: if he possessed the gun, he's guilty and a judge would sentence him to at least three and a half years behind bars. Felton could seek a plea deal in hopes of a lesser sentence. Former NFL star Plaxico Burress, who faced similar charges in New York, ultimately pleaded guilty to lesser charges, but it was far from a legal win for Burress. Burress spent nearly two years behind bars. Plus, as discussed below, pleading guilty would carry legal significance for the NBA as it considers suspending Felton, while the Knicks could potentially try to void the remainder of Felton's deal.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Felton's legal defenses</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Even if Felton lawfully registered this gun in another state, Felton cannot escape a conviction under New York law. Gun registration is by state, and New York law requires guns entering the state to be registered in New York. Similarly, Felton will not be cleared by arguing that he was simply unaware that possessing this gun was in violation of New York law. Failure to know the law is almost always a losing argument in a criminal case.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A legal defense that could work for Felton is that he did not possess this gun. In order to gain a conviction, prosecutors must establish, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Felton actually possessed the Belgian pistol. This point reveals a crucial difference in evidence between the incidents involving Burress and Felton. While Burress had no logical way of arguing he didn't possess a gun used to shoot himself, Felton's connections to the Belgian pistol are less obvious. As of now, the only reported link between Felton and this pistol is that his estranged wife handed the pistol over to law enforcement and claimed it belonged to Felton. If that remains the only link, watch for Felton to portray his estranged wife as unreliable and, given their pending divorced, biased. He may raise similar themes about his alleged girlfriend if she testifies against him.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Prosecutors can establish Felton's possession in other ways. For instance, if Felton registered the gun in another state, if his fingerprints are on the gun, or if photographs and videos show him with the gun, prosecutors can show a connection between Felton and the gun. Felton's lawyers, however, can use various devices to attempt to explain away those pieces of evidence. For instance, they may insist any photographs and videos show him with another gun. They may also raise suspicions about how any fingerprints were found on the Belgian gun. Still, his lawyers will have their work cut out for them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Felton's future in the NBA -- and Adam Silver's first big test</div><div style="text-align: justify;">An immediate challenge for Felton is whether he can travel with the Knicks and leave the state of New York while facing the charges. As part of the bail process, Felton will have to convince a judge that he is not a flight risk or a danger to the public, and that he needs to travel with the Knicks in order to fulfill his employment contract. A judge would likely permit him to travel under strict conditions. One game Felton will have trouble playing in is the April 11 matchup against the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Centre. The Knicks' legal team will have to convince Canadian immigration officials to permit an employee facing felony charges to enter Canadian soil.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of even greater concern to Felton is whether he will face an NBA suspension. Recall that then-NBA commissioner David Stern suspended Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas indefinitely in January 2010 after reports surfaced that Arenas brought guns into the Wizards locker room. Arenas would be charged by D.C. police and then pleaded guilty to a felony weapons charge. In March 2010, Stern specified that Arena's suspension would be for the remainder of the 2009-10 season, costing Arenas 50 games.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">New commissioner Adam Silver will face his first major disciplinary decision with Felton. Like Stern, Silver is an attorney and he will likely scrutinize the charges and available evidence before making a decision. Silver will also rely on the counsel of Rick Buchanan, the league's general counsel and executive vice president. Silver and Buchanan undoubtedly know that the league's image is tarnished with fans, media and lawmakers when players are connected to guns. On the other hand, they do not want to punish a player who may ultimately be cleared of any wrongdoing. This is a crucial point for Felton as he considers his legal options: if he pleads guilty to any crime, the NBA would be clearly justified in suspending him.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If the NBA suspends Felton for more than 12 games, Felton and the NBA Players' Association can seek an independent review of the suspension. This is a key distinction between the NBA and NFL's systems of justice. While NBA players have a right to appeal suspensions to a neutral arbitrator, NFL players do not.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Knicks' capacity to void Felton's contract</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Felton's greatest worry may be whether the Knicks will use these charges as grounds to void his contract. Felton's contract calls for him to earn $3.6 million this season, $3.7 million next season and a player option for $4.0 million in 2015-16. Felton is averaging a career-low 10.3 points and his play has drawn much criticism this season, with the gun charges only further hurting his standing with Knicks officials. It stands to reason the Knicks may be interested in severing ties with their point guard all together.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Knicks could try to terminate Felton's contract under Clause 16 of the NBA's Uniform Player Contract. In theory, this clause allows NBA teams to void a contract if a player, "fails, refuses, or neglects to conform his personal conduct to standards of good citizenship, good moral character (defined here to mean not engaging in acts of moral turpitude, whether or not such acts would constitute a crime), and good sportsmanship..." The Knicks would have to first place Felton on waivers. Assuming he clears waivers -- a safe bet -- the Knicks would then notify Felton that his contract has been voided. To be sure, the Knicks' legal argument for terminating Felton's contract would be strengthened if Felton is convicted or if he pleads guilty.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In reality, the Knicks would be inviting a legal fight if they tried to void Felton's contract. Any attempt would be met with a grievance filed by the players' association to a neutral arbitrator. Keep in mind, an arbitrator prevented the Golden State Warriors from terminating Latrell Sprewell's contract even after he chocked his coach, P.J. Carlesimo. The Celtics were also unable to void Vin Baker's contract in 2004, despite apparently compelling evidence his drinking problems prevented him from working. The Celtics ultimately worked out a buyout with Baker, where he would receive a little less than half of the remainder of his $35 million contract. Perhaps the Knicks can try to accomplish the same with Felton and negotiate a buyout.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/nba/news/20140225/raymond-felton-felony-weapons-charges-new-york-knicks/</div></content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/4744807560263297487'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/4744807560263297487'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deloquenosehabla.blogspot.com/2014/02/analyzing-raymond-feltons-gun-charges.html' title='Analyzing Raymond Felton's gun charges, future in NBA'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05122980649565806289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911113615887848042.post-4113848726202661490</id><published>2014-02-19T02:56:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2014-02-19T02:56:13.502-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Daily News"/><title type='text'>Neo Samsung Galaxy Y ( GT - S5312 ) , Galaxy Variants Cheapest</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">Samsung would be a great name many reasons to choose a device made by Korean vendors use this as a phone .

But it was a surprisingly quiet premiere, pushed back half an hour by the Olympics and tamped down, perhaps, by all the Jay Leno vs. Conan O’Brien insanity that preceded it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As if determined to distance himself further from the high-octane opening antics of the last new guy who tried to do this job -- O’Brien -- Fallon entered stage center in a muted gray suit. And if he didn’t go as far as apologizing for becoming the sixth man to host “The Tonight Show,” he did rigorously, and at times irritatingly, reaffirm his signature humility.“I just want to take care of the show for a while,” he explained, adding that “if you guys let me stick around long enough, maybe I’ll get the hang of it.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fallon has long positioned himself as a regular guy, the kind who would rather play charades with his guests than engage in lame interviews -- or, even better, just pick up a guitar and goof around. His likableness has taken him far.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But even by his standards, the “aw shucks” factor was high on Monday night.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">After a lovely opening credits intro directed by Spike Lee, Fallon took the stage, thanked his predecessors, and said: “I really don’t know how I got here." Speaking in a voice so quiet you could practically hear audience members swallow, he introduced himself to “those of you who are watching me for the first time, which is very possible,” starting with the basics. “I’m 39 years old, I live in New York City with my beautiful wife Nancy and my daughter Winnie who’s six months old ... and I love her so much.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">PHOTOS: Jimmy Fallon: Career highlights</div><div style="text-align: justify;">He went on to introduce his parents, who were in the audience; his band The Roots, whom Fallon brought with him from “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” and his “announcer and psychic” Steve Higgins (ditto.) He pointed out the four-leaf clover that would serve as his monologue mark, explained what a monologue is and then, finally, delivered one. It revolved rather weakly around the Olympics, and included a film clip of Matt Lauer and Al Roker on a bobsled (not a hallmark of comedic success) and a list of “Tonight Show Superlatives” that were very similar to the list he ran a few days ago during NBC’s Olympics coverage.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A very far cry from O’Brien’s lanky swagger or Leno’s self-confident poise and, to be frank, the whole "who, me? host 'The Tonight Show?'" seemed laid on a bit thick in parts. Fallon may not have served as Leno’s Rachel for seven years as O’Brien did, but he has been hosting “Late Night” for five and before that spent six years on “Saturday Night Live." So it’s not like he’s some slacker dude who just won the gig on “America’s Got Talent."</div><div style="text-align: justify;">He also moved the show back to New York for the first time in 40 years, so he’s no shrinking violet either.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">PHOTOS: Jimmy Fallon's 'Saturday Night Live' class: Where are they now?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Which is a good thing; violets, shrinking or otherwise, do not make good late-night hosts. And once Fallon moved behind the desk, and in front of a truly fabulous wooden miniature of New York, he seemed more comfortable, telling "my buddy who said I'd never host 'The Tonight Show': You owe me 100 bucks. Upon which Robert De Niro kicked off a hilarious mélange of stars appearing to slap down a Benjamin Franklin, including Joan Rivers, returning to “The Tonight Show” for the first time since Johnny Carson banished her in 1986, and Stephen Colbert, who showered Fallon with pennies and shouted “Welcome to 11:30, bitch.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now that’s more like it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">After Smith and Fallon did their hip-hop thang, the show moved to the Top of the Rock, where U2 perched along the edge of the roof against a glorious sunset, igniting cheers from the crowd and scaring the heart out of anyone with even a vague fear of heights. Back inside, Fallon chatted with Smith about fame and fear and then welcomed Bono, the Edge and the Gang for a little sit-down. After presenting Fallon with his own (red) guitar, they sang an acoustic version of &nbsp;their Oscar-nominated “Ordinary Love,” which sounded, as so few late-night performances do, just fabulous.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">PHOTOS: Classic 'Tonight Show' moments&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And that is where Fallon will make his mark on the show. He is the most musically inclined host since Steve Allen, with a pop-culture sensibility -- he referenced both "Masters of the Universe" and "Dune" in a description of an aerial view of Dubai -- to match his easy-going ways. He is playful, he is joyful and he is an astute user of social media, all of which one hopes he brings to the beloved but undeniably aging franchise.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But only if he can get over getting over himself. Too much public self-effacement can look like arrogance in disguise -- Uriah Heep was a very ‘umble man too. It’s great that Fallon can get Will Smith and U2, Tina Fey and Lady Gaga, but, as Smith pointed out, people will come to the show for him. As one assumes Fallon knows, because he changed Leno’s “The Tonight Show With” back to Carson’s “The Tonight Show Starring.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-review-20140217,0,4175291.story#axzz2tghttL00</div></content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/7429582997708268072'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/7429582997708268072'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deloquenosehabla.blogspot.com/2014/02/after-hype-jimmy-fallons-tonight-show.html' title='After the hype, Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show' is strangely muted'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05122980649565806289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911113615887848042.post-4570601363261818590</id><published>2014-02-18T07:26:00.004-08:00</published><updated>2014-02-18T07:26:57.186-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Daily News"/><title type='text'>Groupon claims 'President Hamilton' error was intentional</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Groupon is honoring Presidents Day by giving customers an Alexander Hamilton -- &nbsp;$10 off $40 spent on a deal for any local business.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The promotion, which began this weekend, allows customers to "honor our money-minded Commander-In-Chief."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"The $10 bill, as everyone knows, features President Alexander Hamilton -- undeniably one of our greatest presidents and most widely recognized for establishing the country's financial system," Chicago-based Groupon says on its webpage.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But, there's just one flaw in the promotional plan: Hamilton was never president.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hamilton is considered a Founding Father and was the country's first Secretary of the Treasury.

She was 85.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Temple, known in private life as Shirley Temple Black, died Monday night at about 11 pm at her home near San Francisco. She was surrounded by family members and caregivers, Kagan said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"We salute her for a life of remarkable achievements as an actor, as a diplomat, and most importantly as our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and adored wife for fifty-five years of the late and much missed Charles Alden Black," a family statement said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A talented and ultra-adorable entertainer, Shirley Temple was America's top box-office draw from 1935 to 1938, a record no other child star has come near. She beat out such grown-ups as Clark Gable, Bing Crosby, Robert Taylor, Gary Cooper and Joan Crawford.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Advertisement</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In 1999, the American Film Institute ranking of the top 50 screen legends ranked Temple at No. 18 among the 25 actresses. She appeared in scores of movies and kept children singing On the Good Ship Lollipop for generations.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Temple was credited with helping save 20th Century Fox from bankruptcy with films such as Curly Top and The Littlest Rebel. She even had a drink named after her, an appropriately sweet and innocent cocktail of ginger ale and grenadine, topped with a maraschino cherry.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Temple blossomed into a pretty young woman, but audiences lost interest, and she retired from films at 21. She raised a family and later became active in politics and held several diplomatic posts in Republican administrations, including ambassador to Czechoslovakia during the historic collapse of communism in 1989.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"I have one piece of advice for those of you who want to receive the lifetime achievement award. Start early," she quipped in 2006 as she was honoured by the Screen Actors Guild.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But she also said that evening that her greatest roles were as wife, mother and grandmother. "There's nothing like real love. Nothing." Her husband of more than 50 years, Charles Black, had died just a few months earlier.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Temple's expert singing and tap dancing in the 1934 feature Stand Up and Cheer! first gained her wide notice. The number she performed with future Oscar winner James Dunn, Baby Take a Bow, became the title of one of her first starring features later that year.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also in 1934, she starred in Little Miss Marker, a comedy-drama based on a story by Damon Runyon that showcased her acting talent. In Bright Eyes, Temple introduced On the Good Ship Lollipop and did battle with a charmingly bratty Jane Withers, launching Withers as a major child star, too.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She was "just absolutely marvelous, greatest in the world," director Allan Dwan told filmmaker-author Peter Bogdanovich in his book Who the Devil Made It: Conversations With Legendary Film Directors. ''With Shirley, you'd just tell her once and she'd remember the rest of her life," said Dwan, who directed Heidi and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. ''Whatever it was she was supposed to do — she'd do it. ... And if one of the actors got stuck, she'd tell him what his line was — she knew it better than he did."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Temple's mother, Gertrude, worked to keep her daughter from being spoiled by fame and was a constant presence during filming. Her daughter said years later that her mother had been furious when a director once sent her off on an errand and then got the child to cry for a scene by frightening her.

Position: Midfield</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The newly minted Bulldogs captain was nigh untaggable at times in 2013. Griffen averaged 28 touches, four tackles per game and 116 SuperCoach points. Don’t expect his output to diminish with the added responsibility.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">SUPERCOACH SPECIAL: Griffen went on an eight-week tear mid-season when he averaged 138 and scored 140+ four times. He will cost you $627k this year but will return the investment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">STARS</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stewart Crameri</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">24, 57. Position: Forward</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Crameri’s move to the Bulldogs is set to boost his AFL standing - don’t be surprised if he’s in the Guns category this time next year. The former Bomber has the versatility to offer a target in attack and move into the midfield. He averaged 4.4 marks and two goals a game last year at Essendon and the Bulldogs hope those numbers will increase. His arrival will also take the pressure off the club’s other talls.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Adam Cooney</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">28, 201. Position: Midfield</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cooney returned to an elite level in 2013 after four years battling a knee injury (averaging 25 disposals per game at 73 per cent efficiency). The Bulldogs will hope he continues to improve and provide outside run and carry to complement the team’s outstanding inside ball-winners.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Robert Murphy</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">31, 249. Position: Defence</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The wily veteran returned to defence in 2013 – where he was All-Australian in 2011 – and provided much needed experience and some valuable run and carry as he ranked No.1 at the club for rebound 50s. Murphy will miss the start of the season after suffering an elbow injury .</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Matthew Boyd</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">31, 220. Position: Midfield</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Boyd endured a difficult season as injuries and poor form took their toll. The former captain played only 13 matches but still managed to average 29 touches a game and Brendan McCartney will hope the tough midfielder can lead the Bulldogs’ midfield group again in 2014</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/western-bulldogs-list-rankings-every-player-rated-ahead-of-the-2014-afl-season/story-fni5fazt-1226824793148</div></content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/1511234298186740625'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/1511234298186740625'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deloquenosehabla.blogspot.com/2014/02/western-bulldogs-list-rankings-every.html' title='Western Bulldogs list rankings: Every player rated ahead of the 2014 AFL season'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05122980649565806289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911113615887848042.post-8276761682123101697</id><published>2014-02-12T05:14:00.002-08:00</published><updated>2014-02-12T05:14:42.280-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sports"/><title type='text'>Shaun White's halfpipe loss a big win for all his Sochi Winter Olympics competitors</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">In the past eight years, Shaun White and his shock of red hair like the fires of hell made snowboarding one of the coolest sports on the planet.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2IRt81c6_LgvtfX82i9YEpJ1H9avA4toj0EH0U-AgIeKgq0PuWnbUJPCjcKAgTf8keUAdLWoWot0TBPFIE45fPb9q4GPqGpFie-Mv5hnNJf1edSXlr0sWuRJPOe0MMtkD1OothnUwpus/s1600/Screenshot_8.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shaun White's" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2IRt81c6_LgvtfX82i9YEpJ1H9avA4toj0EH0U-AgIeKgq0PuWnbUJPCjcKAgTf8keUAdLWoWot0TBPFIE45fPb9q4GPqGpFie-Mv5hnNJf1edSXlr0sWuRJPOe0MMtkD1OothnUwpus/s1600/Screenshot_8.png" title="Shaun White's" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So when he finished fourth in the men's halfpipe on Tuesday night, failing to win his third Olympic gold medal in the event, why did his fellow snowboarders celebrate like they'd won?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Well, fourth was a gift, first of all," said his US teammate Danny Davis, who finished 10th. "You know it's good for snowboarding, man. The world knows now that there are other snowboarders besides Shaun. It's great, man, because there are a bunch of good riders in our sport and they deserve some credit, too."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are three battles being fought on the slopes of Rosa Khutor at these Olympics: one is for medals, one is against the apparent shoddy nature of the halfpipe and slopestyle courses, and the other is for snowboarding's soul.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Advertisement</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is an uneasy struggle between snowboarding's slip into the mainstream as an Olympic sport and keeping its traditions as an alternative pursuit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With an estimated net worth of $40 million, White is the poster boy for its commercialisation. "I always want to be more than just a snowboarder," said White after failing to medal behind winner Iouri Podladtchikov of Switzerland. "This is a big part of who I am, but it's not all of who I am."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The reaction of the crowd at the men's halfpipe final illuminated the importance of the sport to the Winter Olympics. Podladtchikov was born in Russia, grew up in Switzerland. He represented Russia at the Winter Olympics in 2006, but has represented the Swiss since gobbling up a scholarship in 2007.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When he put down a sizzling second run to clinch gold, the heaving Russian crowd didn't seem to care he had changed national allegiance. They just revelled in his aerial trickery, ooh-ing and aah-ing like they were wide-eyed Smurfs.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"It's hot, cool and it's f---ing mine," Podladtchikov said afterwards, putting a unique twist on the motto of the Sochi Games.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In recent years, the IOC has introduced modern, alternative sports to the summer and winter Games – and in some cases shed older ones – in order to capture a younger audience.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The sight of David Beckham with his young sons at the BMX finals at the London Olympics two years ago neatly summed up the IOC's thinking. Consequently, though, there is a fear among the purists that their sport is selling out.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Australian snowboarder Torah White told Fairfax Media last week: "I am here in an event run by the Olympic committee that just makes buckets and buckets of money and doesn't really give back. I'm torn in the middle."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As far as his peers are concerned, the only one making buckets and buckets of money is White. The Flying Tomato has become the Flying Dollar Sign. He is so wealthy and influential, he and his sponsors built a halfpipe in secret in Perisher in the lead-up to Sochi, just to practice on.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"I don't think tonight makes or breaks my career," White said in the wash-up of his fourth placing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With the commercial pulling power in the US of NFL superstar Peyton Manning, you sense his career will be OK.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">US teammate Greg Bretz has said White doesn't love snowboarding like others love snowboarding. Then snowboard filmmaker Chris Grenier branded him a "whore".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"I don't know Shaun White personally," Grenier told USA Today. "But he doesn't give a [expletive] about the snowboarding community. He's whored himself out where he has a scooter company and they sell Shaun White shoes at Walmart."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some say it all comes down to the hair. His signature flowing, flames have been cut. His more the Sherminator than halfpipe shredder.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"When you're younger, you don't really think about it," White has said of furthering his brand. "You just have long, red hair and do your jumps and tricks. I may have lost a little bit of hair, but I'm still the same guy."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Who just came fourth. His contemporaries could not be happier, even if their place in the sport can be attributed largely to him.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">http://www.smh.com.au/sport/winter-olympics/shaun-whites-halfpipe-loss-a-big-win-for-all-his-sochi-winter-olympics-competitors-20140212-32i3t.html</div></content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/8276761682123101697'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/8276761682123101697'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deloquenosehabla.blogspot.com/2014/02/shaun-whites-halfpipe-loss-big-win-for.html' title='Shaun White's halfpipe loss a big win for all his Sochi Winter Olympics competitors'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05122980649565806289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2IRt81c6_LgvtfX82i9YEpJ1H9avA4toj0EH0U-AgIeKgq0PuWnbUJPCjcKAgTf8keUAdLWoWot0TBPFIE45fPb9q4GPqGpFie-Mv5hnNJf1edSXlr0sWuRJPOe0MMtkD1OothnUwpus/s72-c/Screenshot_8.png" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911113615887848042.post-7134896167444488888</id><published>2014-02-10T06:02:00.002-08:00</published><updated>2014-02-10T06:02:59.181-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Daily News"/><title type='text'>Downing Street seeks to calm ministerial row</title><content type='html'>Downing Street is urging unity after reports of a clash between senior ministers over the UK's response to the flooding crisis.<br /><br />Environment Secretary Owen Paterson and Communities Secretary Eric Pickles are thought to be at odds over the performance of the Environment Agency.<br /><br />No 10 did not deny Mr Paterson had complained about his colleague but said both were doing an "excellent job".<br /><br />The government will have to defend its response later in Parliament.<br /><br />Commons Speaker John Bercow has granted Labour an urgent question to ask about the government's handling of the floods crisis while the government's latest Cobra emergency meeting will take place at 16:00 GMT.<br /><br />'Get a grip'<br />It is not clear whether Mr Pickles or Mr Paterson, who is recovering from an eye operation, will appear at the dispatch box to defend the government's handling of the crisis at 15:30 GMT.<br /><br />Labour has accused ministers of fighting "like ferrets in a sack".<br /><br /><br />"It is a disgrace that you have got government ministers pointing the finger of blame at each other when they should be rolling their sleeves up and helping those affected," said opposition leader Ed Miliband.<br /><br />"The prime minister has got to get a grip on the government's response to flooding."<br /><br />The escalating political row over the UK's preparedness came as river levels continued to rise along the River Thames in Berkshire and Surrey - leading to 16 severe flood warnings.<br /><br />Continue reading the main story<br />Analysis<br /><br />image of Norman Smith<br />Norman Smith<br />Chief political correspondent, BBC News Channel<br />It is certain to infuriate those residents affected by flooding - but the floods crisis now appears to have developed into an ugly blame game among the politicians.<br /><br />First Communities Secretary Eric Pickles waded into the Environment Agency and its boss Chris Smith, suggesting he should consider his position and accusing the agency of "misjudgements."<br /><br />Now Lord Smith has hit back, saying his staff know one hundred times more about floods than any politician and accusing ministers of "playing politics."<br /><br />At the same time, Environment Secretary Owen Paterson has protested to the prime minister over Mr Pickles' bruising criticism of the Environment Agency.<br /><br />And for good measure the former Floods Minister Richard Benyon has rounded on Tory MP Ian Liddell-Grainger - who described Lord Smith as a "git" - accusing him of being "silly" and "demeaning himself".<br /><br />No wonder then that this morning the Energy Secretary Ed Davey publicly appealed for an end to the blame game.<br /><br />What does it tell us? That the floods crisis has all the potential to turn into a serious political crisis - hence the reason politicians are already taking sides.<br /><br />On Sunday, Mr Pickles - currently co-ordinating the UK's floods response - suggested the government relied too much on Environment Agency advice and "made a mistake" by not dredging the flood-hit Somerset Levels earlier.<br /><br />He also gave lukewarm support for the agency, saying he would "not wear a save Chris Smith T-shirt".<br /><br />The BBC understands that Mr Paterson has complained "in the strongest possible terms" to the prime minister about what he called Mr Pickles' "grandstanding".<br /><br />Asked about the issue, No 10 did not deny that Mr Paterson had protested at his colleague's comments and would not confirm who would co-ordinate the response when the environment secretary returns to work.<br /><br />"What needs to happen and is happening is for the government to come together," a spokesman said.<br /><br />Downing Street defended the agency's handling of the crisis. "Everyone at the Environment Agency, including Chris Smith, has got an important job to do and they should keep doing it," the spokesman added.<br /><br />Lord Smith has acknowledged he could have done more to make the case for river dredging last year but said he would not allow ministers to question his staff's "expertise and professionalism".<br /><br /><br />Eric Pickles: "We should have dredged... I apologise unreservedly"<br />"I am there to be a punchbag. My staff are not," he told the BBC News Channel, adding that he would not "take lessons" from Mr Pickles on running his organisation.<br /><br />But he urged all sides to refrain from the "briefing and sniping of recent times" and focus on the "serious business" of protecting people's homes and livelihoods.<br /><br />Lord Smith, who has rejected calls for some quarters to resign, said the agency's response had been dictated by Treasury rules on how much could be spent on individual flood defence schemes.<br /><br />He said the body had stumped up £400,000 last year for dredging in the Somerset Levels - "the maximum amount the Treasury rules allowed us to do" - but the government and other organisations had not provided similar sums to enable the work, estimated to cost £4m, to go ahead.<br /><br />"I will apologise for probably not having done enough to twist arms with county councils, district councils, drainage boards and others in order to come to the table along with us to get those funds on the table for dredging last year.<br /><br />"We should have done more to persuade people".<br /><br />But he said he would not apologise for the Treasury rules and the "limitations" they placed on his agency.<br /><br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26116670</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/7134896167444488888'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/7134896167444488888'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deloquenosehabla.blogspot.com/2014/02/downing-street-seeks-to-calm.html' title='Downing Street seeks to calm ministerial row'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05122980649565806289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911113615887848042.post-6487727879386553299</id><published>2014-02-10T05:58:00.003-08:00</published><updated>2014-02-10T05:58:54.680-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Daily News"/><title type='text'>Survey: Men Would Prefer to Have Sex on Valentine’s Day</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">Flowers, jewelry, chocolate, teddy bears — the conventional Valentine’s Day gifts have a decidedly feminine slant to them, but a new survey shows that men think they’re the ones really cleaning up when it comes to Valentine’s Day: Guys think their significant others will spend $230 on them, while women expect that their main squeezes will spend, on average, $196 on them. Both men and women who are in relationships expect an average of $240 will be spent on them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the Chase Blueprint Valentine’s Day Survey, though, both genders might be a little overly optimistic when it comes to their expectations for Valentine’s Day. Women said they plan to spend an average of $27 less than the $98 guys say they’ll shell out — which means neither gender plans to spend nearly as much as they want to have spent on them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not into shelling out the big bucks? A new RetailMeNot.com survey hints at one way couples can avoid breaking the bank this Valentine’s Day: Two-thirds of men and 30% of women say they’d rather have sex than get a gift for the holiday. Chase found that 43% of men and about half as many women don’t want a Valentine’s Day gift.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fewer people are celebrating Valentine’s Day this year by buying gifts. The National Retail Federation’s new survey of more than 6,4000 people finds that respondents celebrating the holiday plan to spend an average of just under $134, about three bucks more than last year, but the number of people planning to celebrate it this year has fallen — just 54% compared to 60% last year.

Gift recipients prefer chocolate over flowers, tech toys over jewelry and dinner out over a home-cooked meal, although RetailMeNot finds that the number of people who want to stay in for the evening has gone up 10 percentage points since last year.

This week, Bob Costas' eye infection has taken over my twitter feed. So of course it's only fitting that I come down with some sort of eye infection so I can stay current with the times.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The crazy thing is, before coming to Sochi I went to see my family physician in Minnesota to arm myself with the best medical advice for traveling abroad. I got a tetanus shot for precautionary reasons and I got some antibiotics because I tend to get respiratory illnesses on a regular basis. But the one thing I did not count on happening has happened – issues with my eyes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, normally I wouldn't really care all too much if I was having an eye issue except for the eye that is bothering me is right eye and I use it to look into the viewfinder of my camera. So when I started to have some pain in that eye, I got concerned. The first day it bothered me, my eye was watering and would sometimes make it hard to focus while I was shooting video. The next day (today) I woke up and it's painful in the corner, red and swollen.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I figured I had some sort of sty or an eye infection, but was fairly certain I didn't have pink eye (my eyes were not itchy). So since things had progressed rather quickly with my eye, I decided to go see the doctor in the International Broadcast Center (IBC) since we really don't have many other options here.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The doctor immediately looked at it and said that I have a blocked tear duct. That's why it's so painful in the corner of my eye because my tears have nowhere to go so it's causing it to swell up and turn red. He said a warm compress should do the trick but also have me some antibiotic eye drops and even an oral antibiotic to try to fight this thing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The bad news is if it doesn't go away in a couple of days, I will have to go elsewhere to have it drained. They don't have the proper instruments here at the IBC to be able to do that. I did do a warm compress two nights ago but in full disclosure, I didn't do it last night because I completely passed out in my hotel room. From now on I will be diligent in doing it to avoid having to go elsewhere to have it drained.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The only thing I'm glad about is that I'm not contagious with some sort of infection. I would hate to be the person to get anyone else an eye infection.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For those who have already asked on Twitter, I have not seen Bob Costas here in Sochi or even on TV for that matter.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">http://www.kare11.com/story/sports/olympics/2014/02/10/beas-blog--me-and-bob-costas/5357623/</div></content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/3582679259233726927'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/3582679259233726927'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deloquenosehabla.blogspot.com/2014/02/me-and-bob-costas.html' title='Me and Bob Costas'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05122980649565806289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911113615887848042.post-272945994186420134</id><published>2014-02-08T10:39:00.003-08:00</published><updated>2014-02-08T10:39:35.192-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sports"/><title type='text'>Cal grieving over death of football player Ted Agu</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">A grim scene unfolded Friday at Haas Pavilion, in a building constructed to house athletic glory and pride. Not tragedy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Less than a week after Cal football player Ted Agu rushed the Haas court to celebrate the basketball Bears' win over then-top-ranked Arizona - a happy college student embracing his college life - Cal officials gathered in an adjacent room and announced the worst news possible.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Agu, a 21-year-old walk-on defensive end from Bakersfield, collapsed and died early Friday morning after a supervised training run.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"There is no greater tragedy for us than to lose one of our incredibly bright and passionate young people, far too soon," said athletic director Sandy Barbour, fighting back tears.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cal was prohibited by law from releasing detailed information about possible pre-existing medical conditions and will wait for the coroner to determine cause of death. Cal's athletic team doctor, Casey Batton, said that he had known Agu since he arrived in Berkeley as a freshman in 2010 and had never known him to struggle in workouts before.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to Batton, Agu was on an early-morning training run with the football team. When he started to struggle, near Bowles Hall - about 150 yards from the stadium - officials put him on a cart to drive him back. Batton said Agu was alert, talking and hydrating on the ride, but collapsed as the cart entered the stadium. CPR was immediately administered, a defibrillator was utilized and emergency personnel arrived. Agu was transported to Alta Bates Medical Center, where he died.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Though Cal quickly put up a protective shield around the team, and not many outside the program knew much about Agu, by all accounts he was a shining example of what college athletics can be. He was a walk-on to Jeff Tedford's team who had earned an athletic scholarship last spring from Dykes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"I can't tell you how sad this makes me feel," said Tedford, the new offensive coordinator in Tampa Bay. "When I first heard it, I couldn't believe it. I can't imagine what his teammates are going through because it happened right in front of them."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Agu was described as a young man with a zest for life, academics and his team. He wanted to go to medical school. He worked as a peer counselor for incoming freshmen.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Ted's the ultimate team guy," Dykes said. "He came here because he loved the game. He had a passion for life, he loved to learn, he loved to laugh. He had a great sense of humor.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"He was rewarded with an athletic scholarship because of his hard work and dedication. He's what's good about college athletics. He's exactly what you want from a young man."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is one more blow to a struggling program. Cal has been under a dark cloud in recent years, enduring a terrible stretch plagued by the type of problems that often hit athletic programs: losses on the field, problems in the classroom, recruiting difficulties, financial woes. Dykes has been criticized quite often since he arrived at Cal in December 2012.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The death of a player is in a completely different category. A sobering loss that makes every other difficulty pale in comparison.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">http://www.sfgate.com/collegesports/article/Cal-grieving-over-death-of-football-player-Ted-Agu-5215675.php</div></content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/272945994186420134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/272945994186420134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deloquenosehabla.blogspot.com/2014/02/cal-grieving-over-death-of-football.html' title='Cal grieving over death of football player Ted Agu'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05122980649565806289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911113615887848042.post-6426172721619407810</id><published>2014-02-08T10:36:00.003-08:00</published><updated>2014-02-08T10:36:54.049-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Entertainment"/><title type='text'>Jimmy Fallon gets emotional during final 'Late Night'</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">It's not so much "goodbye" as "taking a break."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With Jimmy Fallon's departure from "Late Night" on Friday after five years in the host chair, he'll be off the NBC airwaves a scant 10 days before bouncing back as host of "The Tonight Show," which was vacated Thursday by Jay Leno after 22 years.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"I'm really going to miss being on TV at 12:37," Fallon joked in his farewell monologue, where his "fierce rivals" have been CBS host Craig Ferguson "and a Veggie-Chopper infomercial."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But if he was overjoyed at graduating to a berth one hour earlier — and all through the finale he radiated joy — at the same time he could hardly keep his tear ducts in check.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"I'm not gonna cry," he vowed, "but I'm gonna get really close."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"You got to pull it together, man," teased his very last guest, fellow "Saturday Night Live" alum Andy Samberg.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"'I'm just a big ol' moosh.

He said since premiering in March 2009, he had spun out 10,000 jokes, all of which he proceeded to sum up as: "Joe Biden needed Obamacare after Anthony Weiner texted Justin Bieber a picture of Chris Christie dating a Kardashian on the Jersey shore with Rob Ford."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">More sincerely, Fallon voiced thanks to David Letterman for launching "Late Night," and to Conan O'Brien, its second host, as well as to his viewers, whose support "means the world to me. It makes me so happy."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The hour ended with a big musical number: Fallon on drums and singing the Band classic "The Weight," accompanied by a large ensemble of Muppets, complete with Kermit and Miss Piggy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then he made his exit from his longtime "Late Night" home, Studio 6A, and strode a few steps down a hallway to his soon-to-be new home. He opened the door to Studio 6B, identified as "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," to find a cheering, welcoming throng.

We are in the process of gathering the facts and have no further comment at this time."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to several reports, an armed suspect went into a jiu-jitsu school at 777 E. Oakland Park Blvd., which belongs to famed Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Pablo Popovitch and allegedly began threatening people at the school.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">No one was injured at the school and after the suspect left, the authorities were contacted, according to reports.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The situation began at around 7:45 p.m. local time in Florida when police were called to the scene.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">From there the armed assailant went back to his home and barricaded himself inside. The house at 2041 Coral Heights Court was later identified as being owned by Silva as SWAT team members surrounded the home while trying to negotiate his surrender.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At 11:15 p.m., authorities confirmed that the suspect was in custody and the standoff had ended.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to anonymous sources speaking to FOX Sports on Thursday, the altercation began because of a domestic dispute between Silva and his wife. Silva then proceeded to the jiu-jitsu school where he made the threats before leaving and ending up back at his home where police arrived shortly thereafter.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Silva had been scheduled to face Ovince St-Preux at UFC 171 in Dallas in March. The Brazilian lives and trains in Florida where he works with the Blackzilian MMA team based out of that area.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">http://msn.foxsports.com/ufc/story/report-ufc-light-heavyweight-thiago-silva-arrested-after-standoff-with-police-developing-020614</div></content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/1913805374475578655'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1911113615887848042/posts/default/1913805374475578655'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deloquenosehabla.blogspot.com/2014/02/ufcs-thiago-silva-arrested-after.html' title='UFC's Thiago Silva arrested after standoff with police'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05122980649565806289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911113615887848042.post-5872878660136120188</id><published>2014-02-08T10:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2014-02-08T10:27:06.843-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="celebrities"/><title type='text'>Dakota Johnson is 'shameless'</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">(CNN) -- When it comes to Dakota Johnson, there are zero shades of gray.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 24-year-old actress, who's poised to become a breakout star in 2015's "Fifty Shades of Grey," has bluntly said that she's an open book for her racy role.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">More unseen photos of Dakota Johnson in Elle</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"I don't have any problem doing anything," Johnson tells Elle magazine of portraying Anastasia Steele, the young woman who gets a sexual education with a very steep learning curve in E.L.

Several hundred well-attended debates were held in the 1970s and 1980s, but they have largely dried up in recent decades.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So I look forward to a spirited yet cordial debate on Tuesday with Bill Nye, the "Science Guy" of television fame.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I also look forward to the opportunity to help counter the general censorship against creationists' view of origins. While we are not in favor of mandating that creation be taught in public school science classes, we believe that, at the very least, instructors should have the academic freedom to bring up the problems with evolution.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Even though the two of us are not Ph.D. scientists, Mr. Nye and I clearly love science.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As a former science instructor, I have appreciated the useful television programs that he hosted and produced, especially when he practiced operational science in front of his audience.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">He and I both recognize the wonderful benefits that observational, operational science has brought us, from cell phones to space shuttles. But operational science, which builds today’s technology, is not the same as presenting beliefs about the past, which cannot be tested in the laboratory.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For students, the evolution-creation discussion can be a useful exercise, for it can help develop their critical thinking skills.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">MORE ON CNN: Bill Nye: Why I'm Debating Ken Ham&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Most students are presented only with the evolutionary belief system in their schools, and they are censored from hearing challenges to it. Let our young people understand science correctly and hear both sides of the origins issue and then evaluate them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our public schools arbitrarily define science as explaining the world by natural processes alone. In essence, a religion of naturalism is being imposed on millions of students. They need to be taught the real nature of science, including its limitations.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nye, the host of a popular TV program for children, should welcome a scrutiny of evolution in the classrooms.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As evolution-creation issues continue to be in the news – whether it relates to textbook controversies or our debate – there is an increasingly bright spotlight on the research activities of thousands of scientists and engineers worldwide who have earned doctorates and are creationists.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On our full-time staff at Answers in Genesis, we have Ph.D.s in astronomy, geology, biology, molecular genetics, the history of science, and medicine. Yes, creationists are still a small minority in the scientific community, but they hold impressive credentials and have made valuable contributions in science and engineering.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I remember the time I spoke at a lunchtime Bible study at the Goddard Space Flight Center near Washington. I was thrilled to meet several scientists and engineers who accept the book of Genesis as historical and reject Darwinian evolution. They shared with me that a belief in evolution had nothing to do with their work on the Hubble Space Telescope. Why should our perspective about origins be censored?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our young people — and adults — should be aware that considerable dissent exists in the scientific world regarding the validity of molecules-to-man evolution.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It’s an important debate, for what you think about your origins will largely form your worldview. If you believe in a universe that was created by accident, then there is ultimately no meaning and purpose in life, and you can establish any belief system you want with no regard to an absolute authority.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ultimately, I have decided to accept an authority — our infallible creator and his word, the Bible — over the words of fallible humans.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ken Ham is founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis (USA) and founder of the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky.
