Packers Need to Hit On This Draft
It's the end of April and you know what that means!?! No, it doesn't mean more snow, though Mother Nature has a menacing way of telling Punxsutawney Phil to pound sand. It's the three-day event in which Ted Thompson makes his money. Because TT refuses to dabble in free agency, the Packers must hope to improve through this upcoming draft. And improve the Packers must.
The Packers sieve-like defense created a new phenomenon: Kaepernicking.
A 26-6 regular season record with back-to-back NFC North titles is a run most teams would thoroughly enjoy (I know my compadre in 'Sota would enjoy some sustained success after being trapped in Loserville, U.S.A. for the past several years.) But after winning the Super Bowl in 2010 with a team full of players entering their prime, expectations have been high for this Packers team. And back-to-back ugly losses in the playoffs to the G-Men and 49ers has left a sour taste in most fans mouths.
What the two playoffs losses have revealed is a Packers team that will be a perennial playoff team so long as Rodgers is playing, but is a team that still needs to improve – in many areas – to be a true contender. Now, this may be a tedious distinction because clearly the Packers are contenders with Rodgers. But, as built, the only way the Packers can win in the playoffs right now is if Rodgers reverts to supernatural Rodgers (playing the Vikings with Joe Webb at QB helps too). As good as Rodgers' is, this is asking a lot.
In order to become a true contender, the Packers need to get tougher, nastier. Last year, TT devoted his draft to improving the defense, with an emphasis on getting "fast-twitched" and "quick" players. But in doing so, guys up-front like Worthy and Daniels were miscast in the 3-4 and had little impact. The result is the Packers' front-seven on defense lacks toughness and grit.
With that in mind, I fully expect the Packers to draft players designed to bring that toughness and nastiness to the defense. Here is my list of positions of need:
1. DE/DT – With Worthy essentially lost for this upcoming season, the Packers enter 2013 with only Mike Neal boasting any type of pass-rushing acumen out of the DE position. Yup, Mike Neal. The Packers desperately need a difference maker out of the DE position. Similarly, B.J. Raji has continued to perplex fans and coaches with his flashes of dominance surrounded by spells of invisibility. And with a looming contract, the Packers need to have a backup plan to not only spell Raji to reduce his workload, but also in case Raji bolts in free agency.
2. MLB – I don't hold out too much hope that TT will devote a high selection on MLB after signing Brad Jones to that ridiculous contract and still retaining Mr. T-Rex, A.J. Hawk. But, the Packers need to improve its MLB play. It cannot afford to have two more seasons like Hawk just had – i.e. no forced turnovers, tackles several yards down the field, and poor coverage. Some hope Terrell Manning can become the man (poor pun intended). But, I'd love a selection like Ogletree if he is available in round 1 – a sideline-to-sideline difference maker.
3. Safety – Morgan Burnett has proven to be a reliable and ever-improving safety. But, the Packers have yet to replace Collins – which is no easy task. M.D. Jennings and McMillian played just alright when given their opportunities last season. Neither showed enough to justify not selecting a safety in this draft – even if it is a high selection.
4. Wide Receiver / Tight End – TT has always done a good job of restocking the cupboards for Rodgers. With Jennings' departure, Driver's departure, and JMike's uncertain future, it's all but a guarantee the Packers will select a WR or TE on day two. Thankfully, TT has a terrific track record in selecting a WR or TE in rounds 2 and 3: Jennings, Jordy, Cobb, Jones, and JMike.
5. Offensive Line – There is no debating that the Packers need stronger play out of the LT than what Newhouse gave them last season. But, after spending first-round picks on tackles in 2010 and 2011 in Bulaga and Sherrod, I will be surprised if TT spends another top pick on OT. Plus, with Barclay's solid production down the stretch, the Packers have 4 OT's that give them some flexibility if they are willing to move Bulaga to LT. And as for the inside, Lang and Sitton are signed to long-term contracts, meaning they have solidified their positions. And EDS was recently signed, giving him the lead for the starting center gig. I expect the Packers to add some reinforcements in the mid- to late-rounds.
As for the first round, it is hard to pin-down exactly where the Packers will go. My guess is the Packers address the defensive line with the first pick. I am drawn to the potential of Margus Hunt (DE from SMU). At 6'8″, he has a unique blend of size and speed. He was a workout warrior at the combine, but its debatable whether that translates to the field. But, the potential is intriguing enough to warrant his selection at the end of round 1. Otherwise, there is a bevy of DT's that will be considered: Sylvester Williams (UNC), John Jenkins (Georgia), and Jonathan Hankins (OSU).
I'm falling for the hype. I want Carradine in the first round!
My sleeper pick is Matt Elam, the diminutive, yet fearsome Safety out of FL. He is known for being a good tackler that is willing to lay the wood. He'd fill an area of need and, again, bring that nasty temperament so desperately needed. And my dream selection is Tank Carradine. I may be falling for the media-driven hype, but this kid was an absolute beast for FSU and was a likely top-pick had he not hurt his knee in November. Where, exactly, he'd fit in the Packers system is an unknown because he's around 270 pounds. But, many believe he can bulk up and play DE, or slim down and play OLB. In either event, he's a tenacious, hard-nosed player that can get after the QB.
Like last year, we will offer instant analysis for the Packers and Vikings selections each night and preview the next day's rounds. And considering my prediction (kind of) of Casey Hayward last season, it's readily apparent TT values the insight and analysis I sent him last season before the draft – or at least that's what I tell myself. Enjoy the draft!

The Importance of the Draft
The 2012 NFL Draft is ready to take over our next weekend. Both local squads have either a lot or some holes to fill through the draft. The importance of the draft to next seasons success is vitally important to both squads. By now, we've all read the articles proclaiming who the Vikes and Pack should take. But, there's been little discussion on the past success, or lack thereof, for the squads. This is what we, here at Border Rivals, have decided to analyze in order to offer a fresh take on the upcoming draft.
Dating back to 2005 – the first draft Ted Thompson presided over for the Packers – we've catalogued each selection made by the local squads. Each selection was given a rating of 0-6:
0 – A complete bust. The player has contributed nothing or next to nothing in stats.
1 – The player has played in some games and accumulated very little in stats.
2 – A key backup that may occasionally start. This may also be used for a below-average starter.
3 – An average starter – the definition of A.J. Hawk.
4 – An above-average starter. This player starts every game and makes an impact in the game.
5 – A player on verge of making a Pro Bowl. A difference-maker, but not quite to that elite level, yet.
6 – Any player that has been selected to the Pro Bowl.
We then calculated the average rating for the players selected in each round over the years. This allowed us to determine the relative success each team has had in drafting players in each round. Finally, we determined the "hit rate" for the percentage of time each team has hit (any player rated 3 or above) on a player – no matter the round that player was selected.
Our goal in this analysis is to not only determine the average rate of success each team had from 2005 to 2010 (we did not rate players taken in the last draft because it's too early to make determinations on many players), but then to also determine the success each team has had in each round – after all, each team should draft well in the first few rounds on a routine basis. We had hoped that by creating these objective standards for rating each player, our own subjectivity would be limited. Admittedly, some of the calls – particularly on whether a player is a 1 or 2, or a 4 or 5 is subjective. Still, our analysis provides unique insight into showing the importance of the draft.
Green Bay Packers –
Since 2005, TT has unwaveringly relied upon the draft to build the Packers roster into the championship team it has become. Agonizing at times, this approach has clearly worked for TT. The roster is riddled with both early and late round selections that have developed into reliable starters.
Over the 58 selections in the 6 drafts between 2005 and 2010, TT has hit on 21 of those selections – good for a 36% clip. 6 of those 21 players have developed into Pro Bowlers, including one MVP and a second-place finish in the Defensive MVP vote: Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews, B.J. Raji, Nick Collins, Greg Jennings, and Josh Sitton (although he's never been selected to a Pro Bowl, Sitton was voted the Offensive Lineman of the Year by the 2010 NFL Alumni – which deserves a 6 rating in our book). 3 players are on the fringe of making the Pro Bowl (a 5 rating) – JerMichael Finley, Jordy Nelson, and Bryan Bulaga. And two became above-average starters – Desmond Bishop and Mason Crosby.
There is no debating the fact that TT's first selection – Aaron Rodgers – was his best. Frankly, it was also the gutsiest. Remember, the Pack still had a mid-thirties Brett Favre that had given no indication that he was ready to retire (and unretire, retire, unretire, and retire again). To take a QB with the first pick, knowing full-well that doing so would irritate – to say the least – the franchise player is a move only made by a person confident in his abilities. But, this was not the only bold move made by TT in the first round over the years. In 2009, TT moved back into the first round – giving up a number of picks – to acquire Clay Matthews to go with B.J. Raji – the 9th pick in that draft. Add in Bryan Bulaga (while also subtracting the Justin Harrell pick), and TT's success in the first round is impressive with a 4.5 average rating.
TT has had equal success in the second and third rounds – averaging 2.89 and 2.8 respectively. He's added Nick Collins, Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, and JerMichael Finley in those two rounds. TT's fourth round number is an inflated 2.1 average because of the Josh Sitton selection. He nabbed the starting left guard, T.J. Lang, also in the 2009 4th round. Interestingly enough, TT's worst round over the years has been the fifth round, where he averages a meager 1. The only players of note in this round are from the 2010 draft – Andrew Quarles (a 2 rating) and Marshall Newhouse (a 3 – admittedly, this may be a reach, but I'm convinced he's the starting LT of the future, good enough for a 3 in my book). TT's seventh round average is 1.33, with his best pick being Matt Flynn.
I skipped the sixth round so I could highlight it. I have always maintained that TT has made his money the most in the late rounds and even undrafted free agent pool. TT's sixth round average of 2.1 is a testament to this. He has found four starters, two of which are above average – Bishop, Crosby, Johnny Jolly, and James Starks. He's also added two decent backups in Korey Hall (a pretty solid special-teams player when he played for the Pack) and Jarius Wynn.
As the numbers demonstrate, TT has success through all rounds of the draft. He finds key players, whether they are starters or not, that contribute to the team's success. It is only because of this draft success that the Packers are poised to become a Super Bowl contender for the next several seasons.
Minnesota Vikings –
In sharp contrast, the Vikes have relied upon free agency to build the team. This strategy brought them one classic-Favre-heartbreak from a Super Bowl berth in 2010. But, this strategy, along with poor results in the draft, help explain why the Vikes have the 3rd overall selection on Thursday night.
Over the 39 selections between 2005 and 2010, the Vikes have hit on only 11 of those selections, good for a 28% clip. 1 of the 11 is a Pro Bowler, AP, and only 1 more is on the verge of a Pro Bowl berth, Percy Harvin. There are only 2 above-average starters: Chad Greenway and Ray Edwards. The remaining seven players are Cedric Griffin, T. Jax, Sidney Rice, Phil Loadholt, Brian Robison, John Sullivan, and Jamarca Sanford.
Both AP and Harvin were the offensive Rookies of the Year, which, frankly, masks the Vikes' poor track record. Even with those two ROYs, the Vikes average rating in the first round is still only a 3.4. The same year TT selected Rodgers, the Vikes passed on him twice to select Troy Williamson and Erasmus James. Both players earned a 1-rating. (We know Williamson was technically a starter, and thus, maybe a 3; but this is where subjectivity dictates a 1-rating. If you think otherwise, you must be Williamson's mother.)
Over nine picks in the second round, the Vikes average 2.4, grabbing all 2's and 3's in this round. Not one player developed into an above-average starter. No, Sidney Rice's one-season with Brett Favre does not make him an above-average starter. Worse, the Vikes average 1.7 for the 3 selections in the third round: Dustin Fox, Marcus McCauley, and Asher Allen. Yuck.
A 2.5 average in the fourth-round is respectable. This average is based on two players: Ray Edwards (who is no longer on the team anymore) and Brian Robison, his replacement, who has started only one full season.
From here, it gets ugly for Vikings fans. The Vikes average 0.86, 1, and 0.8 in 5th, 6th, and 7th rounds, respectively. Out of the 18 selections in these three rounds, only two became starters – John Sullivan and Jamarca Sandford – and the rest are either a 1 or 0.
Overall, the Vikes have drafted a bust or near bust in 20 of the 39 selections, a clip of 51%. This number, along with the only 1 Pro Bowler selected in this time frame, helps explain why the Vikes have needed free agency over the years to be competitive.
If there is ever a clearer answer to why the Vikes have the 3rd pick in this draft, while the Pack have the 28th selection and are only one year removed from a Super Bowl victory, that answer is the relative success each team has had in the drafts. Not only have the Packers hit on a higher percentage of their picks, but the Packers have also selected better quality of players, shown by the 6-to-1 ratio in Pro Bowlers selected.
And, here is our work so you can scrutinize yourself: Local Squads. We recognize there will be some debate about our ratings and/or system. Please keep the comments coming so we can fine-tune it as we move forward.

My great-grandmother who was born a slave told me there used to be ghosts of slaves in the area. Many of these ghosts found peace when slavery ended and most remaining ones faded away when discrimination gradually faded away. But there is one ghost of a slave that never went away. He is still here in NewRoads to this very day.
I opened the window he disappeared. I was so scared, more scared than I have ever been before or after.

Or MSNed, or BINGed yourself? If you have any kind of an online presence, you will show up. That includes, Facebook, LinkedIn, discussion groups, mailing lists, posts to photo and video sites etc.
You may have been mentioned in a blog. Or perhaps someone posted a picture of you on their site. Before you go to interviews, it pays to see how the rest of the world sees you. Because today everyone uses search engines.
So, the first thing is to do a search. Put your first and last name in quotations, like this "Your Name". If you have a well-known nickname, do the same for that. Also, search for your name together with your school(s), companies you've worked for and any other associations you've been affiliated with.
Use at least three search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo. You may also consider specialized engines such as technorati.com (Blog search engine), blogsearch.google.com (Google blog search), video.google.com (Google video search) and youTube.com (Video search). Look at the first three to five pages of results as a minimum.
But what if there are school party pictures – hey you won the keg contest, and it was featured on drunkenuniversity, remember? What about remnants of a heated online discussion where you weren't your mature best? Or someone else's not-so-wonderful comments about you? How about that collection of dubious photos on the photo site? Time to make a list and do something about it.
If the problem is your own Facebook page, MySpace site, YouTube posting, Flickr collection or blog, change it. Make it private or delete it – the sooner the better. Look for pictures, text and videos. What's your criteria for changing something? Just ask yourself how you would discuss this sitting across from a potential employer, or worse yet, your mom.
What about sites you don't control?
Here's where you learn diplomacy. In the kindest possible way, you are going to contact the Webmaster, blogger or content owner and ask to have that information removed. Be specific about the page and section and ask for them to take it down as a courtesy to you. Tell them it doesn't accurately represent you, and thank them in advance.
What if they don't remove that nasty comment?
If after asking a few times, they either don't respond or flat out tell you "no", you have a few options. If it's something you feel comfortable speaking to in an interview, be prepared to do so. If it's beyond that, and you feel it's defamatory, you may want to consult a lawyer to get it removed. Often a strongly-worded letter from a lawyer will do the job.
Sometimes the embarrassing stuff is ages old, but still shows up because there's nothing new about you. So, the trick is to start creating new and positive content about yourself across various Web sites. Since search engines like "new" over "old", this will start showing up on top in the results.
Start by creating or updating your profile on networking sites such as LinkedIn, Zoominfo, etc. Add more contacts, and ask for references. Go to industry sites that have forums or blogs and participate. Comment on posts using your full name. Have you read any business books recently? Why not write reviews on the book sites such as Chapters/Indigo, Amazon or Random House?
If you have your own Web site or blog, update it. On your blog consider adding industry news and a blog roll to other industry sites and blogs.
Your job is to "get out there". Give the search engines plenty of good content to find about you. You don't have to restrict it to your professional life though. If you belong to clubs, organizations or groups that show you in a favorable light, make sure you participate so that your name shows up. If you have interesting photographs, post them on a photo site.
Going forward, it pays to keep track of your name on the Web. You can use free tools such as Google Alerts to monitor the Web and send you emails whenever it finds your name. You never know if someone else is mentioning you (ex main squeeze writing memoirs online?). Google is your friend and will let you know.
Assume everyone uses search engines. Before hiring you, your name will be searched many times. Be prepared.

Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Central Asia
Kyrgyzstan: The intimidating taxi gangs of Osh airport
An airport swindle offers an illuminating peek at the Fergana Valley's economy and fraught ethnic politics.
Bakyt Ibraimov Sep 9, 2022
Many international flights to Osh land in the wee hours. (airport.kg)
When Bakhodir Mamirzhanov arrived one recent morning at Osh international airport, in Kyrgyzstan's second city, following a tiring red-eye flight from Russia, he was met at the exit by a cluster of hustling taxi drivers.
His destination: the border with neighboring Uzbekistan.
Although the airport in the city nearest to Mamirzhanov's home, in Uzbekistan's Andijan region, also has flights to Russia, Osh is a cheaper option. This is mainly because the terminal has direct flights to the industrial Siberian cities where many Central Asian laborers have jobs.
"Unlike my compatriots, who mostly go to large cities, I went to work as a cook in Surgut and just recently returned home through Osh," Mamirzhanov told Eurasianet. "As soon as I left the terminal, one of the taxi drivers snatched my bags and suitcases and jostled me into his old Mercedes."
The ride from the airport to the Dostuk border crossing is around 6 kilometers and lasts no more than 20 minutes on average. A local might expect to pay around 200 som ($2.40) for the ride. Vulnerable Uzbeks get stung for much more.
"When we reached our destination, he asked for 800 som for his services and began to rush me saying that he needed to go back and pick up more passengers. I handed him a 1,000-ruble ($16.50) bill and tried to explain that that was too expensive. He gave me change of 200 Kyrgyz som and quickly turned around and left."
Another passenger who happened to be on the same flight from Surgut, Abdulkhamid Abidov, agreed that he and his wife should share a taxi with another pair of fellow Uzbeks, so as to split the cost.
"It was like the taxi drivers had all conspired to refuse to take us as a group. They insisted on the principle of 'one car, one passenger.' I barely managed to persuade the young Kyrgyz guy that I could hardly just abandon my wife on her own. He finally reluctantly agreed to take us to the border for 1,000 som," Abidov said.
Talgat Kudoyarov, a former worker at the Osh airport ground service company, said this kind of scalping of helpless arrivals happens because the taxi business at the terminal is entirely controlled by a racket mainly composed of people from a number of villages in the nearby Kara-Suu district.
"They won't let anyone into their parking lot," he said. "Even when Uzbek acquaintances come to pick up passengers, they start arguing and picking fights, then making threats."
Kudoyarov alleged that the taxi business is supervised by gangs and that it costs a one-time payment of 20,000 som ($240) to earn the right to run taxi rides from the airport. What is more, only residents from around the nearby village of Monok are allowed into this circle, according to several drivers involved in the business.
Osh-based journalist and civic activist Shokhrukh Saipov said on his YouTube channel that when he tried to raise this matter with the authorities, following the complaints of many swindled Uzbeks, officials were largely indifferent and just asked for evidence in the form of photos or video footage.
"I was once again forced to bring up this matter in July, when I went to Osh airport to meet some acquaintances from Uzbekistan. I began filming everything. The taxi drivers started to threaten and intimidate me, accusing me of trying to sow inter-ethnic tension. After that I had to file a report with the police," he later told Eurasianet.
The complaints of Saipov and other people on social media appear to have had some initial effect.
"After receiving multiple complaints, police questioned 105 taxi drivers offering services to arriving passengers," said Zhenish Ashirbayev, a spokesman for Osh police.
Some investigations were pursued and remedial actions taken in the wake of the furor.
Ziyaddin Jamaldinov, the presidential plenipotentiary to the Osh region, reportedly ordered that surveillance cameras be installed around the premises of the airport.
But habitual users of the terminal say that nothing has changed in reality.
"The fact is that all flights from Surgut, Nizhnevartovsk and other cities arrive at night or in the morning. There is no public transport at that time of day, so passengers have no choice but to uses the services of local taxi drivers," said Kudoyarov.

Q: Questions regarding Red-Black Tree Deletion (z has 2 children) (pre-fixDelete) Code Source -  https://github.com/Bibeknam/algorithmtutorprograms/blob/master/data-structures/red-black-trees/RedBlackTree.cpp
    y = z;
    int y_original_color = y->color;
    if (z->left == TNULL) {
        x = z->right;
        rbTransplant(z, z->right);
    } else if (z->right == TNULL) {
        x = z->left;

    } else {
        y = minimum(z->right);
        y_original_color = y->color;

        if (y->parent == z) {
            x->parent = y;                       \\ [1] Local Class TNull
        } else {
            rbTransplant(y, y->right);           \\ [2] Losing Y
            y->right = z->right;
            y->right->parent = y;
        }

        y->color = z->color;                     \\ [3] Need of Recoloring
    }

Questions

*

*

*

*Local Class TNull - (In case y->right is a TNull) Within this class function, TNull is a local pointer simply passed to x; isn't changing the parent of x also change the parent of the local TNull?

*

*Losing Y - This section is meant to be executed in case the minimum in right subtree of z is not a direct children. Later it will be placed at z's location. Won't this segment only pivot y->right / x until it reaches z's location, instead of y / minimum?

*

*Need of Recoloring - Iirc, recoloring will also happen in the later fixDelete() function call, why is this needed?

Please bear with me, I'm slow in this kind of stuff and I'm really at my wits' end. This is the first time I'm asking here. Thank you.

A: On your questions

*

*Yes that can happen, TNull's parent is set and the authors remark that this is a deliberate design choice which they exploit.

*y is moving to where z is and this just fixes y so its pointers are what z had. s

*No. Essentially when the node to be deleted has 2 children, you find the successor or predecessor node (which has to have 0 or 1 child) and swap the nodes. You then delete the node at the successor or predecessor node position. The predecessor or successor node swapped, preserves the tree ordering. But the important thing is in swapping the nodes, the colour is not swapped, it must be preserved so the red-black tree properties are still correct.
This is what y_original_color is for.

Howard Stern takes a day off from politics — but says he predicted Trump would bankrupt the country
By Brian Niemietz

After dominating last week's news cycle by claiming President Trump secretly despises his zealous followers, SiriusXM host Howard Stern declared Monday a politics-free day. He mostly kept that vow other than a quick I-told-you-so with regards to the sickly nation's abysmal financial situation.
"When this guy was running, I said, 'Look, he bankrupted everything he ever touched, one way or another he'll figure out how to bankrupt this country,'" Stern said. "This country will be bankrupt. You wait and see."
During his career as a businessman, Trump bankrupted six of his businesses, according to NBC News. The real estate magnate argued he was simply taking advantage of a system that allows such business tactics.
Trump claims to have rebounded from that mess, but refuses to make his tax records public.
America's national debt has skyrocketed under Trump, due in part to the coronavirus pandemic, which he has been accused of mishandling. The president added more than $3 trillion to the debt in his first three years in office, bringing the figure to $23 trillion prior to the public health crisis. It is now over $25 trillion.
When Stern and co-host Robin Quivers found callers dragging the conversation in the direction of politics, the self-proclaimed "King of All Media" changed course.
"I've got to get out of this discussion... I can't do it anymore," Stern said. "Because then I get letters also from idiots... I can't do it anymore."
Stern also had to stop himself from ranting about his neighbors, whom he says won't wear masks despite recommendations. Stern, broadcasting from his home in the Hamptons, wondered aloud how following advice from medical professionals has become a political statement.
"Wearing a mask is like having a bumper sticker that says I'm not with the president," Stern agonized. "I don't want to get political."

Quivers suggested that someone should print "Make America Great Again" face masks that might appeal to Trump supporters.
The 66-year-old broadcaster told his audience that he'd likely get back to talking about current events Tuesday.
"I'm going to keep it a guest free day tomorrow," Stern said before signing off Monday. "There's a lot I have on my mind."
Howard Stern to Trump supporters: He hates you and so do I »
Trump was a frequent guest on "The Howard Stern Show" prior to being elected president in 2016. Stern, who invited Trump to his 2008 wedding, hung-out with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and sat courtside with him at basketball games said he knows the 73-year-old Queens native pretty well.
"The people who are voting for Trump for the most part... he wouldn't even let them in a f---ing hotel," Stern told his audience last week. "He'd be disgusted by them. Go to Mar-a-Lago, see if there's any people who look like you."
In highly uncharacteristic fashion, Trump, known for attacking his critics on Twitter and through the press, has not responded to Stern's criticisms.

Betting News > Football > Premier League > Diego Costa and Steve Bruce in five things we can't wait to see
Diego Costa and Steve Bruce in five things we can't wait to see
Not many managers have a great record against Man Utd, but Steve Bruce takes things to a new level
By beating Leicester, QPR are guaranteed to get back off the bottom of the Premier League and the strength of Southampton's defence will be really tested when Sergio Aguero pays a visit to St Mary's.
However, neither of these things make our list of five things we are looking forward to in gameweek 13 of Premier League fixtures. Below are the things that do.
Will Diego Costa get booked in another away game?
Costa is one booking away from a one game suspension after receiving four yellow cards so far, meaning he will miss the London derby with Tottenham if cautioned at Sunderland.
There is a strong chance he will be too, as he has played in four top-flight games away from Stamford Bridge so far and been booked in them all.
Will Stoke score at Anfield for the first time in the Premier League?
Stoke have travelled to Liverpool six times in the Premier League previously and have still not given their supporters a goal to celebrate.
The fact they have scored in nine of their last 10 games in all competitions generates optimism, while Liverpool are without a clean sheet in six and have a goalkeeper that appears to be struggling for confidence.
Stoke scoring over 0.5 goals can be backed at 11/20.
Will Steve Bruce roll over for Man Utd again?
Having represented Manchester United over 300 times as a player, it is no real surprise that Bruce has an affinity with the club. However, continually handing them points perhaps takes this kinship too far.
Bruce has faced the Red Devils 20 times as a manager, is still waiting for a win and has only drawn on four occasions.
Betting on Man Utd doing the business at Old Trafford against Hull at 2/7 seems one of the safer bets of the weekend.
Will Olivier Giroud start for Arsenal?
Danny Welbeck wasn't fit enough to make the Arsenal bench against Borussia Dortmund and although Yaya Sanogo scored the opener, seeing him lead the line twice in a week looks on the optimistic side.
Giroud has only played 13 minutes since his return from a broken leg but did score against Man Utd and got the only goal in a Gunners victory over West Brom last season.
He is 13/10 to net in the 90 minutes against the Baggies again.
Will Aston Villa can take some shots against Burnley?
Aston Villa sit bottom of the Premier League in all of the following statistics this season – goals scored, shots, shots on target, shot conversion rate, shooting accuracy and chances created.
If they have any ambition on turning around these figures, a showdown with Burnley looks the most likely to bring a revival.
Over 3.5 goals at Turf Moor between the two sides is available at 5/2.

What would happen if you turned off the world and looked inward? Today on Financial Fluency, my guest is best-selling author Suzanne Adams. Suzanne is a speaker, life purpose consult, and the author of Musings of an Earth Angel. On the show, Suzanne speaks about learning to love yourself, how to flip negativity into positivity, and how to connect with a greater power.
Early on, Suzanne lived the life she thought she was supposed to live. She called this "surface-level happiness" on the show. Suzanne said it was like putting on a front pretending to be happy. She didn't understand true fulfillment, and it felt like she was going through the motions.
This way of life got to a point where she felt a pit in her stomach and was constantly saying there has to be more. Suzanne shared that during this time, she was chasing fulfillment through her career, shopping, and other's opinions. Suzanne realized she couldn't pretend everything was ok anymore. She didn't want to numb the pain anymore.
Suzanne's book, Musings of an Earth Angel, is about understanding divine communication and self-love. In a way, the book mirrors the struggles she faced when experiencing her spiritual awakening. Suzanne mentions the intention of her book is to awaken people to a higher meaning and deeper purpose with a story that's relatable.
The first step to self-love is to look at your thoughts and think about the things you tell yourself every single day. Everything is energy. If you think and treat yourself negatively, that's what you'll attract.
Have boundaries for yourself. Showering yourself with love is important. Allow yourself to have non-negotiable time.
Cherish and create sacred rituals that put you first. These rituals will fill you up from the inside out. The way you fill your well up affects everyone around you.

This week on Financial Fluency, I am so excited to have my first ever returning guest, Lindsay Fischer! Lindsay is here to speak with us about her new book, The Two Week Wait Challenge, so you know what that means: this is a book club episode! The Two Week Wait Challenge is a book of daily self care for women hoping to conceive and dealing with the high stress (read: trauma) of the two weeks between possible conception and the first time they could possibly know for sure whether or not they are pregnant. Lindsay is in the midst of her fertility journey right now and provides this book as a balm to other women from someone who knows.
Our conversation also covers the true costs of IVF: mental, emotional, financial and physical, and the other options available for couples looking to have children in these times. Lindsay Fischer is a trauma-tested author who writes about her own experiences to help others feel less alone. A former English teacher and dance coach, a domestic violence survivor, and – now – a seemingly infertile Myrtle, she refuses to be silent about the things that change our lives. For her, those issues are domestic violence and infertility.

THE ADVENTURE OF BLUE CARBUNCLE BY ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE

THE ADVENTURE OF BLUE CARBUNCLE
BY ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
Watson visited Sherlock Holmes to wish him the compliments of the season. He was found lounging on a sofa. On a wooden chair were hard felt hat, a lens and a forceps. He was examining the hat. He welcomed Watson for discussion. The matter was trivial but interesting. Watson that he supposed the hat to be linked to a dead story. Holmes answered that no crime was associated with it. It was a very common incident. Watson remarked that of the six cases that he had last handled, three had been entirely free of any legal crime.
Holmes said that the matter he was handling was not a legal crime. The hat belonged to Peterson, the doorkeeper in uniform. The hat posed an intellectual problem. It came along with a good fat goose on Christmas morning. Peterson was returning form some merry affair homeward. At Tottenham Court road, he saw a tallish man walking unsteadily with a white goose flung on his shoulder. At the corner of Goodge street, there was a row between the man and a small crowd of roughs. His hat felt and the man raised his stick swung it on his head.
The shop window behind him was smashed. Peterson rushed to help the man. But the man was shocked at breaking of the window and finding a man in uniform before him fled leaving his goose and the battered hat. Peterson took them and brought them to Holmes because it was not possible for him to find out the owner though a small card with the his lens.
words "for Mrs. Henry Baker" was tied to the bird's leg. Goose was carried off by Peterson for eating and the hat was retained by him. He was trying to deduce the identity of the man by examining the hat with
Watson took the battered hat and found it to be a very ordinary black hat of the usual round shape. The initials H. B. were written on it. It was cracked, dusty and spotted in several places. He could see nothing. But Holmes could read much in the hat. He said that the man was intellectual, well-to-do but he had fallen on evil days. He had foresight and moral decline. His wife had ceased to love him. Holmes further said about the man. He lived a sedentary life (WG161 162 20 ocal), middle-aged, white hair which he had cut within the last few days. It was improbable that he had gas laid on in his house.
Explaining how he could draw these inferences, Holmes put the hat upon his head and it come right over the forehead. The man had a large brain which must have something. Secondly, the hat was of the best quality. He had bought it three years ago and he had no hat since. He had the battered hat. So his fortunes had declined. Pointing out the little disc and loop of the hat-securer, Holmes said that the man ordered this one to protect the hat from wind.
It was a sign of foresight. He had broken the elastic and had not cared to replace it. So he had less foresight now than formerely. He had tried to conceal the stains on the hat by smearing with ink. This showed that he had some self-respect. Morever, the lens discovered a large number of hair-ends cut recently. There was smell of lime-cream. The hat was not brushed for many days. Thus his wife did not look after it and so her love had diminished.
He could not be a bachelor because he was bringing home the goose as a Christmas present to his wife—the card upon the bird's leg proved it. There were five tallow stains on the hat. It proved that the man was brought into frequent contact with burning tallow. Probably he walked upstairs at night with his hat in one hand and burning candle in the other.
Peterson rushed into the room and informed Holmes tht his wife had found a brilliantly blue stone in the gullet of the goose. He showed it to Holmes. It was found to be the blue carbuncle (lagay ) of the Countess of Morcar. The loss of it was advertised and the reward for its recovery was £ 1,000. The diamond was lost at the Hotel Cosmopolitan of the Countess for soldering the second bar of the grate was accused of on 22, December just five days ago.
John Horner who entered the room the robbery. James Ryder, upper-attendant of the hotel was with him during his work for sometime. When he came back he noticed the bureau forced open and the small morocco casket was lying empty. Horner was arrested, but the stone could not be found. Catherine Cusack, maid to the Countess deposed to the Inspector Bradstreet that she heard Ryder's cry. The magistrate referred the matter to the Assizes. Horner declared his innocence and fainted at the court.
Holmes said that he would have to trace the sequence of events. The stone came from the goose and the goose came from Mr Henry Baker, the gentleman with the bad hat. So the gentleman had to be found out. So he would advertise in all the evening papers the finding of the hat and the goose at the corner of Goodge Street in order to draw the attention of Mr Henry Baker.(THE ADVENTURE OF BLUE CARBUNCLE )
Holmes was sure that Henry Baker regretted the loss of the bird and must be interested in it which was meant for his wife. Holmes observed the stone. It was a beautiful stone glinting and sparkling. It was the blue carbuncle found in the banks of the Amoy river in Southern China. There were two murders, and other crimes for it. The little stone sent many to the gallows and prison. Henry Baker had nothing to do with the solid gold. Holmes would make a simple test to determine who was guilty. Watson left the house of Holmes with the words that he would come back in the evening for dinner with Holmes.
When he returned, he found a tall man waiting outside. They two were shown up to Holmes's room. Holmes showed Mr Baker the hat. Mr Baker's features were those as was told by Holmes. He said in the affirmative. Holmes said that he expected an advertisement from Mr Baker's end and so he kept these things with him. Mr Baker replied that he could not spend shilligs for advertisement because he believed that the roughs who attacked him took away the hat and the goose.
Holmes told the visitor that the goose was eaten by them but a similar goose had been kept for him. Mr Baker was satisfied with the goose. Holmes then asked Baker where he bought the goose which was a better-grown one. Baker said in reply that the goose was given to him by the goose-club at Christmas of the Alpha Inn of which he was a member. (THE ADVENTURE OF BLUE CARBUNCLE )
Mr Holmes suggested that they should start the investigation right at that time. In a quarter of an hour, they arrived on foot at the Alpha Inn which was a small public house. Holmes ordered two glasses of beer and commented that his beer would be as good as your geese. He said that he was speaking to Mr Henry Baker, the member of the goose club. The landlord said the goose was really bought from Bręckinridge, a saleman in Covent Garden.
Holmes went to find out Breckinridge. He told Watson that they might find out the culprit. Chance had placed to him a line of investigation missed by the police. They should follow it to the bitter end. They came to the Covent Garden Market and met the salesman Breckinridge. He told Holmes that he had no geese at the moment. He could get geese on another stall. Holmes insisted that he was recommended by the landlord of the Alpha Inn to buy geese from him. He asked him where he got the birds. The salesman was angry with the question.(THE ADVENTURE OF BLUE CARBUNCLE )
He explained that he was being pestered by the question about the geese for which he paid good money. Holmes understood that there were other men who were investigating the matter. He told the salesman that the goose he ate was good, and it was certainly country-bred. The salesman replied that it was town-bred. When Holmes argued on a bet, the books and the bill were brought. The salesman showed him that the fowls were bought from Mrs. Oakshott of Brixton Road and sold to Mr Windigate of the Alpha at 12s. Holmes paid his bet money, looked disgusted and went away. Holmes said to Watson that the man told him everything because he was doing on a wager .
Now when he was thinking whether he would go to Mrs. Oakshott that night and next morning, they heard a noise from the stall. They saw Breckinridge shaking his fists at a little rat-faced fellow standing in the centre of the circle of yellow light. Breckinridge was shouting that he would no longer be pestered with the silly talk about the geese. The little man said that one of the geese belonged to him. The salesman told him to ask Mrs. Oakshott for it. The man fled from the place.
Holmes followed the man and overtook him. The man was a little nervous. Holmes told the man that he had heard the questions put to the salesman. He could be of help to him. He then told him that he was tracing the geese sold by Mrs. Oakshott to Breckinridge and by him to Mr Windigate of the Alpha and by him to the club of which Mr Henry Baker was a member. The man told Holmes that he was interested in the matter. The man gave his name as John Robinson. Holmes insisted on knowing his real name. He then declared his real name as James Ryder, head assistant at the Hotel Cosmopolitan.(THE ADVENTURE OF BLUE CARBUNCLE )
Holmes asked him to step into the cab and in half an hour they came to the sitting room of Holmes He told Ryder that he was interested in the white goose with a black bar across the tail. He told him that the bird laid a little blue egg and he had it in his museum. Holmes opened his strong room and held up the carbuncle. Holmes quickly said that his game was up. The man was about to fall, but a little brandy braced him up. Holmes threatened him that he had proofs about his guilt. Still he wanted more details to make the case complete.
Ryder told Holmes that Catherine Cusack told him about the blue stone of the Countess of Morcar. Holmes charged him with villainy. Ryder had committed the crime and so managed the affairs that the guilt of robbery would fall on the innocent Horner. When Horner left the room, Ryder took the jewel and raised the alarm.
Ryder fell down at the feet of Holmes and asked him to pity him in consideration of his father and mother. Holmes then asked how the stone got into the goose and how the goose came into the open market.(THE ADVENTURE OF BLUE CARBUNCLE )
Ryder then narated the story. When Horner was arrested, Ryder wanted to get away with the stone. He started for his sister's house. His sister was the wife of Oakshott who lived in Brixton Road. He was nervous and sweated. Then, He went into the backyard of the house and smoked. He was thinking of going to his friend Maudsley and taking him into confidence. He was afraid of going to him because he might be searched at any moment. The blue stone was in his pocket. Suddenly he saw the geese and an idea came to his head.
His sister had told him that he might pickout a goose for Christmas present. He planned to take his goose and in it to carry the stone to his friend to Kilburn. Then, He choose a big bird and thrust the stone down its throat. He thought that the stone passed into the crop. The bird was flapping and struggling, and at this time his sister came. The bird flew off among the others. Ryder explained to his sister that he was choosing his bird. He wanted to have the bird that he was handling. His sister wished to give the one which she had fattened specifically for him.
he took the white bird with the barred tail. He carried the bird all the way to Kilburn. In his friend's house he killed the bird and opened the goose, but no stone was found. He went back to his sister's house but came to know from his sister that all the geese were sold to the dealer, Breckinridge. His sister let him know that there were two birds with barred tails. He went fast to Breckinridge but he had sold the lot. Breckinridge always answered to him in the way he did today. He was almost mad. He would be branded as a thief without touching the wealth for which he committed the theft. Then, He burst into sobbing. (THE ADVENTURE OF BLUE CARBUNCLE )
Holmes rose and asked Ryder to get out of his house. The man rushed out to the street. Holmes said to Watson that he had no obligation to help the police. Ryder would not appear against Horner and so the case would collapse. He might commute a wicked action but he was saving a soul. Ryder would never commit any wrong again. If he was sent to jail, he would be a jail-bird. They had solved the problem which chance has produced before them and they had solved the problem and that is their reward.

The Young Carers Support Service will be delivered by one of four teams. One team is located in each of the following localities across Devon: – North Devon; Exeter; South and West Devon; Mid and East Devon. There are lead practitioners and support workers for each area and a central 'hub' of specialist workers who can advise their colleagues.
Devon Carers will assess young carers aged 4-18 years who contact the service. Devon Carers uses this assessment to ensure Young Carers receive the right level of support and advice.
What kind of support may be available to young carers following an assessment?
Getting Advice– Young Carers can access information and self-help through a range of sources that is both age appropriate and personalised. Young Carers may receive support from the service that will enables them to access other services, these may be within your local community. You will also be invited to take part in the Young Carers' Council co-ordinated by Devon Carers.
Getting Help– For Young Carers with greater support needs due to the impact of the caring role being undertaken. Young Carers will be supported through trips and activities, support groups and mentoring and buddying opportunities to help you have a break from your caring role, improve your health and wellbeing and help you achieve the best outcomes at school for instance.
Getting More Help-For Young Carers with the most complex needs, for whom their caring role is having a profound impact on them and their life. Support is likely to include multi-agency support being co-ordinated through an early help support plan for the young carer and their families to ensure the right help is being received at the right time. Support is also likely to include 1:1 support for the Young Carer from the Young Carers Support Service.
The Young Carers Support Service will help young carers to prepare for adulthood and transition where young carers transition from primary to secondary school for instance and where there may be a likelihood of continuing caring responsibilities post 18.

I'm Gemma Halliday and I write the High Heels Mysteries about L.A. shoe designer turned amateur sleuth, Maddie Springer and her LAPD Detective love interest, Jack Ramirez. My first book, SPYING IN HIGH HEELS, came out in 2006 and I've been completely thrilled with the attention it's gotten. This year it won a National Reader's Choice award, as well as being nominated for two RITA awards. And, as if that weren't enough to make a girl happy, it's also currently in development with the USA Network for a TV series. Fun stuff!
My second book, KILLER IN HIGH HEELS, came out in February 2007, and the third in the series, UNDERCOVER IN HIGH HEELS, will hit shelves September 2007.

UNDERCOVER IN HIGH HEELS
book #3 of the High Heels Mysteries
Secret affairs, hunky gardeners, and housewives desperate enough to bare it all… welcome to Magnolia Lane, TV's hottest new prime time show. A place where L.A. shoe designer Maddie Springer should be in fashion heaven. That is until the body of a rising young starlet is found dead on the show's set. Now it's up to Maddie to sift through a leading lady with a secret, an actor on the verge of a nervous breakdown, a sexy cyber scandal, and one tabloid reporter who'll stop at nothing to get the story of the century. Not to mention Maddie's hot-cold relationship with the case's familiar lead detective, Jack Ramirez.
In a world where secrets, lies, and deception can earn you an Oscar, Maddie plays the role of a lifetime to catch Hollywood's hottest killer. But if she doesn't watch her step, Maddie's fifteen minutes of fame just may be her last.

Early Endorsements for "A Circle of Souls"
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.

J. Rose – "No Love No Trust"
By Bryson "Boom" Paul | April 5, 2021
Today rising East Coast artist J. Rose delivers his new single "No Love No Trust" for fans. The drill music inspired song hinges on multiple musical elements drawing on R&B, Latinx and drill music sounds.
"So the goal with this video was to make it a scene where it's a betrayal of trust. That was the original goal for us to keep it R&B. R&B from what I know it to be, is either a love or hate situation. I had to decide if it was going to be a hate you or love thing and I wanted it to be in the middle like I never saw it coming."
With a movie plot to go along with the plot enhanced song, J. Rose made a cinematic visual that will hook the viewers over and over.
"In the video my love interest is this federal agent and the whole time without me knowing she's trying to figure out what I have going on in the background. I didn't make it a certain focus point, but there were illegal things going on in the background. Me and her were in a relationship and then the whole time it was all a set up. The bruised face is a visual metaphor showing the damage that she did and how I'm hurt. Then she starts to realize that when I get out she's not going to live so she tries to kill me. But fans just have to watch it, it's one of those to be continued videos, so I can leave it with a very cinematic movie type ending."
This crossover track was put together by music industry insider and executive Adrian Swish, who saw potential in J. Rose after discovering his music on Clubhouse. Swish acquired the beat from music producer Neezy N.E.B., whose credits include Eric Bellinger, Kid Ink, AD and Puma Clothing among others. While the song's background is in Drill music from a production standpoint, J. Rose wanted to keep the song R&B infused with street elements.
"For me R&B was always the biggest thing – that was the wave and that's why I consider myself R&B but I'm very open and to the eclectic sounds of trap and drill," J. Rose said. "Originally when I did the record No Love No Trust, it was very uncomfortable, because I didn't know how to approach it. Did I want to do R&B and singing or approach it like a drill record? But I was really happy with how it came out after I figured out the sound I wanted to give fans."
Moving around in his youth, J. Rose was raised in Puerto Rico, the Bronx and the Boston, Massachusetts area where his mother played a wide range of music from Country to Spanish to R&B music.
"I was raised in Puerto Rico and the Bronx, I moved around a lot but my mother was always open to all types of music. Growing up I listened to Spanish music, country music and I always loved R&B music but I wasn't consumed with the artist aspect of music. I was a church boy and played instruments and I got into some spoken word. Then as I kind of moved forward in junior high, that's when I started really digging into the music. But I never really imagined that I would be able to do it like this," J. Rose said.
But despite finding himself in music, things in J. Rose's life took a tragic turn in 2017 as he was the driver in a fatal accident that resulted in his close friend dying. While no drugs or alcohol were in the system, J. Rose doesn't remember the crash, he was in a coma for 2 weeks and he had to learn how to walk again.
"I was in the US Infantry but I had a medical discharge because I had got in a car accident and my good friend passed away in the car accident. In life certain things happen and it was a life changing experience. I was in the military and I was ready for full deployment but due to the accident I was in the hospital for a long time, they said I would never be able to walk again," J. Rose recalled. "My whole life was settled and everything was great, but after that accident I literally had to learn how to walk again like a baby. That was really the episode where it drove me to dive into music and music really saved me and not even on a financial level but spiritually and emotionally."
Following up his releases Island Trips and the fam favorite "Enough Lost," J. Rose hopes this record and others give fans a chance to get to know his style.
"Island Trips shows the dancehall side of my music and Enough Lost is a record that speaks about my past and the turmoil that I went through."
