Frazier, Cowher, Mangini visit troops on USO tour

Associated Press Sports

updated 9:05 p.m. ET July 2, 2012

NEW YORK (AP) - Current and former NFL coaches Leslie Frazier, Bill Cowher, Eric Mangini and Ben Kotwica are visiting U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf this week as part of a USO tour.

"It seemed like a small thing to do for all they do," Frazier, the Minnesota Vikings' coach, said in a phone interview Monday.

This is the second such trip for Cowher, the retired Pittsburgh Steelers coach who now works for CBS. It's the first trip for Frazier and Mangini, the former Jets and Browns coach who now works for ESPN.

Kotwica is an assistant special teams coach for the Jets spent who seven years in the military after playing college football for Army.

This is the third annual NFL-USO Coaches Tour. Past participants have included Tom Coughlin, John Fox, John Harbaugh, Gary Kubiak, Marvin Lewis, Andy Reid and Ken Whisenhunt.

Mangini said he was impressed to see how soldiers from all over the United States come together as a highly efficient unit.

"Being a coach, having to deal with 61 players, is nothing compared to what's happening here every minute of the operation," he said.

The troops of course had plenty of questions about football, and they went far deeper than general inquiries about star players or big games. They asked Mangini about NFL rules changes and the Arena League.

Frazier said when he got back, he'd remind his daughter that whenever she sees servicemen and women, to thank them. And he won't have much patience if his players gripe about the heat during training camp.

"It just puts in perspective that there's nothing you should ever complain about," he said.

Fake Craigslist ad for nude photos was 'prank'

11 hrs.

Suzanne Choney

lt was meant as a "prank,"?but it wound up terrifying the victim: A male "friend" placed a Craigslist ad in a woman's name, along with graphic photos of her, inviting men to respond in kind and?send porn photos of themselves to the woman.

The woman, a resident of Chesterfield Township, Michigan, received more than 80 text messages within the first hour the ad was placed online, she told police.

"The person who posted it thought it would be funny, and didn't think it would get that many responses," Detective Sergeant Deron Myers of the Chesterfield Police told msnbc.com.

After the victim contacted police, they got a search warrant for Craigslist?to find out the name of the person who put the ad online. When the victim learned it was a friend of hers, she declined to press charges, Myers said. And the "friend" was appropriately remorseful, he said.

"It got way more attention than he thought" it would, Myers said. In the end,?"All parties just kind of shrugged it off as a tasteless joke."

Not all such incidents work out that way. Last year, Tracy Wilder, of Florida,?started getting knocks on her door, emails and text messages after the wife of Wilder's ex-husband placed a steamy?Craigslist ad in Wilder's name, giving out her phone number and inviting men to come to Wilder's home, with children living there.

The experience was "absolutely appalling,"?Wilder told TODAY's Ann Curry, last summer. (That video interview is below.)

'Flying Squirrel' soars, heads for London Games

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) ? Now that she's on her way to the Olympics, Gabby Douglas has a new goal.

"I'm hoping I can catch an accent," she said. "I've always wanted an accent."

Look out London. The 16-year-old whose "Flying Squirrel" nickname might be the only thing more appealing than her personality or her high-flying uneven bars routine is ready to take on a new continent after upsetting world champion Jordyn Wieber to win the Olympic trials Sunday night.

Oh, she's bringing friends, too. Led by the 1-2 punch of Douglas and Wieber, this will be the strongest team the Americans have had since 1996, one that will be not just favored but expected to bring home only the second Olympic team gold.

McKayla Maroney and Aly Raisman, who were with Douglas and Wieber on the U.S. team that won the title at last fall's world championships, also made the team, as did Kyla Ross.

"This is a very strong team. I feel this team is even stronger than four years ago," said Douglas' coach, Liang Chow.

Considering that 2008 squad had Nastia Liukin, Shawn Johnson and Alicia Sacramone, that's a pretty bold statement. After seeing Douglas' stunning ascension over the last six months, however, no one should bet against her and the Americans.

"You want to peak at the right time," Douglas said. "And also still be awesome and great."

Douglas convinced her mother to let her leave her hometown of Virginia Beach, Va., almost two years ago to move to Iowa and train with Chow, Johnson's coach. Though she was a member of that world team, few would have ever guessed that she, rather than Russia's Aliya Mustafina or Viktoria Komova, would present the biggest challenge to Wieber.

But she raised eyebrows at the American Cup in March by beating Wieber. Never mind that her scores didn't count because she was competing as an alternate. She came up just short at nationals last month, and again the first night of trials.

On Sunday night, however, Douglas would not be denied again.

She opened with a massive vault, soaring high above the table with her legs pencil-straight and body tightly coiled, and she needed only a small hop to the side to steady herself on her landing. She broke into a big grin as she thrust her hands in the air, and she trotted off the podium with her fists still raised. Her score of 16 ? including a huge 9.5 for execution ? moved her into first place, a spot she never relinquished.

She extended the lead on uneven bars, her signature event. Douglas is so light and quick as she flies between the bars that U.S. women's team coordinator Martha Karolyi has dubbed her the "Flying Squirrel," and she gets such great height on her release moves she could have dusted off the Jumbotron. But it is her grace that makes her stand out, looking like a ballerina in a jewelry box as she pirouetted on the high bar. There's some hard-core steel beneath that pretty package, however. On one transition, Douglas' hand seemed to slip on the bar, something that would have made most gymnasts go flying. But she kept right on going, never even hesitating.

When she landed her dismount, the arena responded with a roar that was probably heard in San Francisco. Her score of 15.9 gave her a 1.35-point lead over Wieber with two events left.

But balance beam has been giving Douglas problems all month ? a fall the second day of the U.S. championships cost her the title ? and Sunday night was no different. She had to windmill her arms to stay upright after a series of back handsprings, and she rocked and swayed for another several seconds after a back somersault. Her score of 14.85 was her lowest of the two-day trials, and cut her lead to 0.6 going into the final rotation ? leaving plenty of room for Wieber, who finished on vault, the highest-scoring event.

Wieber didn't get her normal height on vault, however, and landed low, needing to take a step back to steady herself. A minor error, for sure, but it meant Douglas needed to score only a 15.25 or better on floor exercise to win.

With a show worthy of Vegas, Douglas had the crowd rocking and rolling to her techno music. Basketball players would be envious of the hops she got on her tumbling runs, yet she landed them with such security there's got to be some glue somewhere on those feet. She pranced across the floor as if she owned the place, and never once stopped smiling.

"Winning or not winning at this meet is really secondary," Chow said. "Clearly we saw here that her mental strength and gymnastics strength is coming along."

When she finished, Chow greeted her with a bear hug. And that was before they saw her score: a 15.3 that gave her a total of 123.45, just enough to hold off Wieber.

"Everyone was telling me you have this great potential and you can be on top," Douglas said. "I didn't believe that, but everyone was just telling me to believe in myself. I did and I'm kind of up on top and it's amazing."

While Douglas is clearly a star on the rise, Liukin is exiting the stage ? this time for good.

Hampered by shoulder problems and a clock that wouldn't stop ticking, Liukin never returned to the form that made her the 2008 Olympic champion. She fell on uneven bars, her signature event, when her fingertips could only brush the bar after a release move, and needed to take a step back after landing her dismount on the edge of the mat.

But she refused to quit, and the crowd gave her a standing ovation. She finished off her career with a respectable routine on balance beam. As she walked off the podium, her father and coach, Valeri, greeted her with a kiss and fans began to stand once again.

Tears filled Liukin's eyes as she waved and said goodbye, to the crowd, her comeback and a career that includes five Olympic medals and four world titles.

"Of course I wanted to go out and put two good performances out there and end my career that way, so it's a little upsetting," Liukin said. "Today is something that I'll remember for the rest of my life. It can easily compare to winning the all-around gold medal to me. Those are pretty much the two highlights of my career ... winning an all-around gold medal and getting a standing ovation not once but twice."

A DIY Guide To Repairing Decay And Weathering In Timber Sash ...

You really might wish to to grasp more about just how to fix decay and also weathering in wood windows to ensure that you do not have to upgrade your house windows.

Whenever you try to find decay and rot always begin near the windowsill or on the lower parts of the window frames, you can almost always repair rotten areas rather than shell out tons of money to replace the windows, but you will need to know some basics first.

This, with the right know how really is a do-it-yourself task that any competent homeowner should be able to undertake.

The initial step in the procedure is the preparation of your window for the repairs. You are going to be re-painting your window afterwards, so you are able to remove any rotten sections of wood without worrying about the cosmetics at this stage.

Scrape away just about any accumulation of paint and you will probably leave a extensive break in the window frame or sill. As soon as you get the decomposition from within the timber you will avoid its persistence in the future.

2nd, you will want to pick out an epoxy resin or maybe putty and get it blended. You will definitely need to use something to fill in the holes that are discovered once you clear away the rotted timber, and these types of putties and epoxies work effectively on solid timber surfaces. Use whatever you're comfortable working with, and get it into each and every single crack and cranny. You will have discovered a reasonably large gap when you have finished removing all of the rotten wood, if this is the case, then you may want to have some backup plan to make sure the filler you are using adheres correctly.

Drilling a couple small pilot holes inside the crevice will give the epoxy a good key to bond to assuring you of a long lasting repair. This keyed surface will make any type of filler, be it resin or powder based stick much better and hold the joints better.

Push the filler into the areas which require to be filled, making sure it is filled in firmly. Do not be afraid about any low quality patches or creases you leave, you will fine sand all these out afterwards, and also consequently they are going to be painted over with your exterior grade paint that matches the window colour combination. Leave the resin filler to dry so that it forms a tough enough bond to handle the sanding mission you are going to have to do when all the holes are filled.

Soon after you are finished calk your window, prime it, and paint the site. We could perhaps leave behind tiny locations which require additional emphasis, however you ought to be able to refill all of them with more resin filler before you re-paint. Remember to keep doing the re-touches up until you are really content with the final outcome.

At this point you will need to wash down the repaired surfaces and allow them to dry, preferably over night. Once dry you can apply up to three coats of paint as follows: one application of primer paint, one layer of undercoat and a top coat of exterior grade gloss paint.

Fixing the rot in your windows and window sills should certainly help save an individual plenty of cash if perhaps you are warding off an actual window replacement.

You might additionally observe that the majority of other windows in your home require the very same repair. You could potentially also carry out this process on front doors and door support frames.

Doing the fixes all by yourself is often much less difficult as well as more economical compared to the replacement. In addition, make sure you pay attention to the procedures that would render work as simply as can be to undertake.
