Tinker:
I never really realize that a mayor like that totally misguided shrimp, New York City Michael Bloomberg. Could order New York city to band 16 oz soft drinks from being sold by pizza parlor restaurants, and grocery stores in New York City.
And get away with that foolishness, because he ( Bloomberg ) thinks that will protect the New York citizens from gaining weight. Are you kidding me?
The soft drink company's are now going to need to spend millions of dollars trying to rebuild the soft drink production lines. In order to comply with the New York mayor's nutty order.
Wow! I never knew that the mayor of New York could get away with that kind of foolishness that has turned serious?
P.S. Birds of a feather I guess: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed President Barack Obama for reelection...http://www.

New faces in TCU secondary not lacking experience
by Travis L. Brown Special to the Star-TelegramThe signature dreadlocks of senior Jason Verrett remained a staple in the defensive backfield as TCU ran through its second spring practice Saturday, alongside his starting cornerback partner from last season, junior Kevin White.
Beyond that tandem of TCU’s depth-chart headliners from last season, cornerback drills feature plenty of fresh faces.
Fresh, however, does not mean inexperienced.
Returning to action this spring is sophomore Travoskey Garrett, who was sidelined the entirety of last season after surgery. Joining Garrett in the depth-chart battle at boundary corner is sophomore David Jenkins, who was ineligible to play last season to satisfy NCAA rules after he transferred from LSU.
While the group might be inexperienced in game action, TCU coach Gary Patterson said they add to the veteran feel of the Horned Frogs by already having the system ingrained in their minds from a season of observing and participating in practice.
“Really, everyone out there secondary-wise is back,” Patterson said. “Those guys have already been through the experience. It helps us, because when you don’t have to teach them the basics you can work on the little things.”
Those little things include expanding TCU’s defensive packages to include more man coverage beyond the zone looks the Frogs perfected last season.
On the offensive side of the ball, wide receiver and Florida transfer Ja’Juan Story and running back and Nebraska transfer Aaron Green enter the season on the same terms, learning the TCU system after sitting out 2012 .
Now it’s a matter of fitting that knowledge with their natural athletic ability inside the framework of Patterson’s system.
“It doesn’t matter how good of an athlete you are, it’s can you play in the scheme and can you do it the way we need to do it,” Patterson said. “That’s where we are with all three of them.”
Pachall back
The months of inpatient treatment for substance abuse quarterback Casey Pachall went through last season seem to have created a new aura about the senior.
“Like I told people, with everything he went through and when he came back from inpatient, it was like the kid that came here as a freshman,” Gary Patterson said after Saturday’s practice. “The color was back in his face.”
What surprised Patterson the most was, despite his absence, Pachall returned a better player in some aspects than he was before, particularly in outside passes.
“You could tell the difference in his arm, comparably with how quick he throws it,” Patterson said.
Pachall has since caught up with his weightlifting program and has put up 350 pounds on the bench press this spring.
Pushing Pachall to excel is Trevone Boykin, who filled in under center last season.
“I’m really excited about him and Trevone,” Patterson said. “Both guys, it doesn’t look like there was any drop-off whatsoever.”
Perry makes impact
The newest addition to the TCU coaching staff, former Arlington Bowie coach Kenny Perry, whizzed up and down the practice sidelines Saturday decked from head to toe in Horned Frogs gear, meeting and greeting recruits and their families. He’s the new director of high school football relations.
While the transition into the role already appears to be seamless, Gary Patterson said its not where he ultimately sees Perry in the future.
“He’s a very respected high school coach that wants to be a college coach,” Patterson said. “He’s a guy that eventually won’t just be that position, he’ll become a guy that will be a member of the staff one day that will be a position coach.”

The 2013 Spring Football Top 25
By (National College Football Lead Writer) on February 18, 2013
Let’s just get this out on the table right now: You’re going to
disagree with my Spring Football Top 25, and these disagreements will
probably take place early and often. Heck, you probably disagree with
this sentiment, at least for the moment.
Nothing angers the masses quite like being disrespected in a pre-preseason poll, and I will undoubtedly hear from you—many of you—in the comment section. Your thoughts, as always, are appreciated.
Although we have plenty of time before actual preseason polls will be released, the rosters for most teams are now in place. Spring football is on the horizon, and for some, it's already underway.
Never has the term “spring” felt more loosely used.
These rankings will change with injuries, the inevitable offseason attrition and surprise performances from unlikely places, but for now, here’s my Top 25 with some observations for each team.
