In spring 2007, Jermon Bushrod was the 19th offensive lineman chosen in the NFL draft.
Among those chosen ahead of him were offensive tackle Tony Ugoh, guard Arron Sears, tackle James Marten, guard Andy Alleman and center Leroy Harris.
The Bears took guard Josh Beekman five picks after Bushrod.
There was no apparent reason to take Bushrod higher than 125 overall. He had not been tested consistently against top competition at Towson. He was considered a bit raw and he didn't have the kind of leg drive and base NFL scouts want.
In spring 2013, Bushrod is a two-time Pro Bowler and the potential solution for the Bears' problems at left tackle.
What happened between 2007 and 2013 does not happen very often in the NFL. With the help of the Saints' effective organizational plan and solid coaching, Bushrod developed and matured into a fine NFL player.
This is how it happened.
•The Saints didn't have immediate expectations.
They, however, did have a strategy to turn Bushrod into an eventual starter.
He barely played his first two years and never made a start. That was OK because during that time he worked on technique and developed confidence.
In training camp of his third season, starting left tackle Jammal Brown was injured and Bushrod was thrown in with the first string in a scrimmage against the Texans. Lined up across from him was Mario Williams, the first overall pick in the 2006 draft.
And just like that, Bushrod looked like an NFL tackle. Saints coach Sean Payton said his learning curve spiked when opportunity came. He became a starter that year.
"Coaches were very patient with me," Bushrod said. "They understood I wasn't going to be ready the first year. Even now I'm trying to get my technique as sound as I can, do all the little things, staying on top of it. If I don't do that, I won't have a job. I want to stick around as long as I can, so I have to get better every single day. It's not about making a night-and-day change. It's about working hard on something small every chance you get."
•Bushrod's body developed.
In the last six years, with the help of professional strength programs, he went from being a 23-year old smallish college kid to a 28-year-old NFL man.
"He definitely has worked on his lower body strength," said Bears offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer, who oversaw Bushrod's development as the Saints' offensive line coach.
"My body is starting to be, I don't want to say, more like an NFL lineman, but I'm feeling good and strong," Bushrod said. "I've worked on getting a stronger lower body every year."
His strength has become more functional because he has learned how to use it too.
"I'm honing in on techniques because a lot of days you are playing against guys who are five times more athletic than you are," he said. "So you have to do the little things — balance, feet, leverage."
•Bushrod was a square peg in a square hole in the Saints' system.

I am not obsessed with Sex and the City. I only mention this because it occurs to me I might have talked about SATC in another post and I want to be clear. (As a woman, I would rather distance myself from those of our tribe who have somehow latched onto that HBO phenomenon as a step-by-step guide to modern womanhood. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a chic-er version of Trekkie-ism.) That said, let's all just admit right now that it was, whatever the over-saturated aftermath, a piece of pop-culture that did, in some way, shift public consciousness about fashion and femininity, and so does not bear dismissal (at least not outright).
In the last months there has been the expected amount of buzz about the latest SATC movie, due for release in May of 2010. Internet gossip sites are rife with photos of SJP et al, on location and dressed to impress. Sort of.
I remember the first time I watched SATC. It was the late 90s and, fashion-wise, I was feeling kind of bored. The pierced-and-dyed grunge aesthetic had become mainstream enough to be adopted by elementary-school secretaries, runway fashion was dominated by nudity (with strappy shoes) which was hard to pull off during the long Canadian winters, and the ravers had finally lost their minds completely. I wanted something else – more creative, less presciptive, intelligent, inspiring. Enter Pat Field. Her styling decisions in those early years were everything I'd been missing. The startling (for TV) mix of current trend and vintage quirk felt unique and fearless (the latter was amusingly illustrated by frequent fashion disasters that somehow came off as charming, which was a revelation to me). I found myself combing Goodwills and Salvation Armies, armed with ideas and new sense of adventure. It was really good fashion – and it felt totally accessible. I still think the first four seasons especially are some of the best (and wonderfully worst) fashion the small screen has seen since Mary Tyler Moore.

GreatSchools Rating
Janney is great. My Son is a fourth grader that hated going to school before Janney. The teachers and students welcomed my Son making his school day fulfilled with a well balaned education and social environment. The teachers are dedicated to ensuring the success of every Student academic involvement. The Principal make certain that all students are safe and well taught.
The principal has a laser-like focus on fostering a professional community based on quality instruction. The teachers care about good teaching, and they have a shared sense of what it looks like. The principal is level-headed, strong communicator, community-minded---doesn't always do what the parents want, but does always have the children's Education in mind, with every decision. The reason for the positive tone in this learning community starts with the Principal.
Our 2nd and 4th graders attend and we feel fortunate to be in a school where parent involvement makes it tick. There are some special teachers there, who aren't "burnt out" and are excited to be at a school like Janney. They have a beautiful library, gym, art room and music. There is even a full time recess coordinator who gets the kids moving. Most are made possible through PTA funds (i.e. voluntary parent contributions) so as long as parents keep contributing, it certainly beats private school tuition.
We are completing our first year with a child at Janney and have been delighted with the school. They just completed a full renovation--the facility is gorgeous. The grounds are now being filled in with fruit trees, a science garden, an outdoor classroom and more. The teachers and parents have always been very involved and caring, but under the leadership of Principal Lycknell, this school rivals any you could hope to send your child to. Library, science lab, art room, music room, glass-enclosed gym--it is a joy.
The parents and faculty are so involved you just now things will always be taken care of well.
Janney has been a wonderful place for my children to learn and play. The school and the staff are wonderful.
The Janney community is amazing. My kids are thriving in an educationally challenging and socially nurturing environment. As parents, we are encouraged to be centrally involved in the school. And our teachers -- as educators and people -- are as good or better than any I have seen at any other school, private or public.
Janney is a school where there is a spirit of love of learning and and having fun doing it! Children haave many options for learning due to high parent and community involvment.
Never was there a better community, a more dedicated staff, or more exciting students!
We came to Dc 5 years ago, my kid was 5 when he entered the school without any english language skill, the staff at Janney were wonderfull they help him learn, express and feel at home from day one. My younger daughter is now a kindergarten student she attended janney as a pk too, and loves it. At Janney the team of teachers administrative staff,aids and specialist are loving and wonderfull people. Janney's communnity ,the parents and kid are also fantastic, this is a school were you don't only come to learn the curriculim but also come to learn about respect, caring about others , and love .
Janney has a fantastic sense of community. It is truly a neighborhood school, with groups of kids and parents trooping up the street each morning, a schoolwide morning meeting, and lots of local community involvement.
Janney is one of, if not the best, public elementary school in DC. Kudos to our new principal and our many fantastic teachers!!
Everyone from the administrators, teachers and staff, to the parents, kids and surrounding community are involved in the success of the school. It's a wonderful community!
Excellent teachers, caring staff, supportive parents and strong community involvement make this the best neighborhood school!
Dedicated staff and parents make this a great place to send your kids.
Janney has a warm, comfortable feeling with happy children in the classrooms and hallways. Our teachers and administrators really care about our kids, working to provide extra help to those who need it and additional challenges for those who are ready. My son is blossoming under their care. And we have an incredible PTA!
My children love their school! They love and respect their teachers who show them how to have fun while learning.
Best school in DC with the best teacher, Lauren Rockwell!
I have had two children at Janney over the past seven years. It is a wonderful school, great teachers and an incredible community of active and informed parents.
Janney is an all-around awesome place for kids! There isn't a better school around!

"Why you?" a man asked Francesco di Bernardone, known to us now as St. Francis of Assisi. Francis (1181/2-1226) was scrawny and plain-looking. He wore a filthy tunic, with a piece of rope as a belt, and no shoes. While preaching, he often would dance, weep, make animal sounds, strip to his underwear, or play the zither. His black eyes sparkled. Many people regarded him as mad, or dangerous. They threw dirt at him. Women locked themselves in their houses.
Francis accepted all this serenely, and the qualities that at the beginning had marked him as an eccentric eventually made him seem holy. His words, one writer said, were "soothing, burning, and penetrating." He had a way of "making his whole body a tongue." Now, when he arrived in a town, church bells rang. People stole the water in which he had washed his feet; it was said to cure sick cows.
Years before he died, Francis was considered a saint, and in eight centuries he has lost none of his prestige. Apart from the Virgin Mary, he is the best known and the most honored of Catholic saints. In 1986, when Pope John Paul II organized a conference of world religious leaders to promote peace, he held it in Assisi. Francis is especially loved by partisans of leftist causes: the animal-rights movement, feminism, ecology, vegetarianism (though he was not a vegetarian). But you don't have to be on the left to love Francis. He is the patron saint (with Catherine and Bernardino of Siena) of the nation of Italy.
Consequently, a vast number of books have been written about him. The first of the biographies appeared a few years after his death, and they've been coming ever since. Two more have recently appeared in English. One, "Francis of Assisi: The Life and Afterlife of a Medieval Saint" (Yale), is by André Vauchez, a professor emeritus of medieval studies at the University of Paris. The book appeared in France in 2009 and has now been published in English, in a translation by Michael F. Cusato. The other volume, "Francis of Assisi: A New Biography" (Cornell), is by Augustine Thompson, a Dominican priest and professor of history at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. The two books show that the Church is still trembling from the impact of this great reformer.
Francis came from the nouveau riche. His father, Pietro, was a successful cloth merchant in a time when the mercantile class was on the rise and clothes very much made the man. Francis went to school for only a few years, as was typical for a boy of his circumstances and sufficient for acquiring the skills a cloth merchant needed. As a teen-ager, he belonged to a gang of rowdies from prosperous Assisi families who, of a night, would eat a fine dinner, get drunk, and, in the words of Francis's first biographer, commit "every kind of debauchery." Francis, a high-spirited boy, was their leader and paid the bills, which made him popular. Pietro often went on business trips to France, and Francis, in time, probably went with him. On those journeys, he would have learned both French and the troubadour style of poetry, which, scholars say, infused even his most earthy writings, notably the "Canticle of Brother Sun," said to be the first poem in the Italian language, in which he addresses the sun, the water, and the wind with humble adoration.
Francis's world was filled with violence—between the papacy and the Holy Roman Empire, between Assisi and other towns, and, in the town itself, between the merchant class and the local nobility. It wouldn't have been a rare day when Francis saw somebody being knifed. In 1202, around the age of twenty-one, he himself went to war, in a battle between Assisi and Perugia. He was apparently glad to go. He got to wear fine clothes and ride an excellent horse. But Assisi was soon defeated, and Francis spent a year in a dank prison, with rats, before his father was able to ransom him.
It was probably in prison that the change in Francis began. As his friends noticed, he had lost heart for revelry. Outside the city walls he found a little abandoned church, and he spent whole days there, praying. Finally, he began sleeping there as well. Pietro di Bernardone's business, as Augustine Thompson explains it, may well have been secured by his wife's dowry. When she died, therefore, a good chunk of the family's holdings would go to Francis, who, if he was going to be communing with God all day, would be a poor guardian of the enterprise. When Francis was about twenty-five, Pietro took him to the town's ecclesiastical court and explained how the young man had disregarded his responsibilities. Francis agreed with what his father said, and renounced all claims on his family. Then, we are told by early biographers, he stripped naked, placed his clothes at his father's feet, and said that from then on God, not Pietro di Bernardone, would be his father. There is no evidence that Francis ever again conversed with his parents.
In a document called his "Testament," written shortly before he died, Francis said that his conversion was due to his work with lepers, a number of whom lived outside Assisi. He explained, "God allowed me to begin my repentance in this way: when I lived in sin, seeing lepers was a very bitter experience for me. God himself guided me into their midst and among them I performed acts of charity. What appeared bitter to me became sweetness of the soul and body." Lepers were horrifying to people at the time, not only because of their unsightly affliction—black boils, truncated limbs—but because the disease was thought to be caused by sin. If a leper wanted to approach a town, he had to do so at night and ring a bell to warn people of his presence. In Roberto Rossellini's "The Flowers of St. Francis" (1950), the best of the many movies made about the saint, a leper, sounding a bell, goes past the hut where Francis and his fellows are bedded down. Francis rouses himself, catches up with the man, and embraces him. We see the leper only darkly: his blackened skin, its clammy sheen. We see Francis's face directly, with no tears, just an ardent gaze. This is one of the most appalling and thrilling scenes in Western cinema, and it epitomizes the idea that evidently fired the young Francis. As he saw it now, the more a person was despised, the more he or she resembled Jesus in his last agonies, when he was abandoned by almost all the people he had come to save. To obey Jesus, therefore, you had to join those who were abandoned.

Monckton lies to AP, denies he called clean energy advocates "Hitler youth"
Monckton lies to AP, denies he called clean energy advocates "Hitler youth"
Despite video evidence, Christopher Monckton stated in an interview yesterday with Associated Press:
"It was not I who called them Hitler Youth. It was three Germans and a Dane in the audience."
It would appear that a more appropriate title than "climate denier" for Monckton, might be "reality denier." For Monckton to now deny what he has admitted repeatedly on tape as doing, shows just how willing he is to bend the truth.
Here's the video (again) of Monckton calling young climate change campaigners the "Hitler youth":
After lying to Associated Press about his Hitler youth comments, Monckton then proceeded to compare the climate activists to Adolf Hitler's fascist army, saying the activists were attempting to stifle free speech, using tactics "last seen here when the Nazis occupied Denmark."

You're defending this bunch of self righteous punks shutting down a meeting and shouting down the speaker?
This isn't a demonstration, It's a strong arming and a shutting down of peaceful assembly. It's anti democratic. Hitler would rather enjoy the whole spectacle.
"Hitler Youth" fits as a description of this activity.
Monckton clearly meant he wasn't the FIRST to call these troublemakers "Hitler Youth". He was repeating someone elses apt description, much as I am now. I didn't come up with it.
Anything for the cult's cause.
and you'll see very obscure, duplicitous and deceptive campaigning and execution at every level leading to ... well, I won't spoil a good story about a True Cult but it's revealed in meticulous detail in 'Climate Cover Up: the crusade to deny Global Warming.'
It's a great stocking stuffer and I highly recommend you add it to your christmas list!
You see, the problem is, they aren't Nazis.
that's a point.
maybe I need a new label for them. I'm open to suggestions
"Climagoons" has a certain appeal.
I define "climagoon" as an overzealous CO2 protester, who in his shortsighted, self righteous zeal tramples on the right to free speech of others. Some "climagoons" may be inclined to throw rocks.
What would you call them James if they had come out in favor of your cause (which you deny having - still above the fray, uh?).
These demonstrations show one thing though: by and large European youth has not been misled by denialist bs.
And what I saw of them they were largely peaceful except for a core group that the Danish police tried to isolate from the rest with predictable results.
Moncton is right, and you, DeMelle, are wrong. Can you not tell the difference in speech? Moncton talks like a Canadian or American. The person labeling the rabble-rousers as Hitler youth sounds like a Brit to me. By the way, the Brit was absolutely right in all of his comments.
Certainly has shown the comparison to hitler youth too accurate for comfort. Thousands throwing bricks, smashing property, shouting monotonous chants, disruptic opposing points of view, while understanding nothing about the issue. Just a bunch of automotons fueled by the ends justifies the means rhetoric and lashing out violently.
When you have a relgious ferver that attacks everything that emitts C02, it becomes a very dangerous. When we shut down all the factories and automobiles, will these people target the biggest emitter of c02 on the planet, namely human life?
Already we have a global warming group in britain that is supporting efforts to prevent breeding in Africa. We are a long way now from a nazi like movement but all the elements are in place for some fanatical leader to take advantage of these deluded youth.
"global warming group in britain that is supporting efforts to prevent breeding in Africa."
Who would that be?
Are you trying to say that someone is pushing --- gasp -- birth control in Africa?
I see you are still diluting the atrocities of the Nazis.
How goes your petition?
These are in all truth fascist tactics, to shut down a peaceful assembly. Shame on you for defending these kids. It is also quite clear that his comments are directly in regards to these people using fascist tactics-- it is not an attack on say every member of Greenpeace-- and you have engaged in sloppy journalism to make the connection.
So, when I'm at a political event, and some young Conservatives show up and start deliberately chanting so loud so as to make the speaker impossible to hear (as they do do), am I supposed to label them as fascist? Or do I label them as Nazis? Or how about 'rude'?
I hear those Nazi fascist Greenpeace freedom-haters were defacing our Parliament last week. 20 were arrested.
And not too long ago we had some Nazi fascist budding terrorists stand up in the House gallery and disrupt Parliament with chanting!
Oh, why do these Hitler-worshiping radical commie-fascists hate freedom so much?
Monckton demonizes good science, and falsely defames scientists. He'll be out there burning books any day now.
Who's the fascist?
Yeah, sorry pal you rarely if ever see a group of conservatives disrupt a meeting. But you do see radical environmentalists block peoples access to work. Attack police and innocent bystanders, destroy public and private property etc...
This could have been exmbarrasing for Monckton but it hasn't been as the label he uses accurately describes the conduct. (As a result you have seen scant mention of this outside of desmog)There we're over 1,000 arrests! How many do you think were not caught? These same tactics have been applied here in canada by trying to start a riot in our parliament, disrupting elected officials, costing people work by blocking access to their factory etc...
REad a history book this is how the fascist movement started out, the paralells are extremely frightening. Right down to attempts to dehumanize people by calling them deniers this movement has gotten way out of hand. Even on this blog I have seen people wish for a day when all old people are dead so they can implement a green policies and advocate hate crime legislation for sceptics.
You are allowed to enjoy freedom of assembly and publically express your opinion. You are not allowed to revoke those rights from others. That is not democratic conduct.
/Yeah, sorry pal you rarely if ever see a group of conservatives disrupt a meeting./
The problem with the Hitler youth tactics of the environmentalists pictured in that video is that it is too similar to the Hitler youth tactics of the conservatives who shut down vote counting in Florida 2001, to close to the Hitler youth tactics of the conservatives who populated Congressional town halls this summer.
I originally took personal offense at Mockton's comments, as I thought he was talking about all green activists. Now that I saw the video I'm offended that these nuts are giving all greens a bad name.

Katy Perry and Ellie Goulding are known for their huge pop songs like "Roar" and "Burn," but did you know that they were BFFs? In fact, they're so close that they even... pick each other's noses?! But don't worry — we think they were just fooling around, posing for the camera! (At least, we hope!)
What do you think of this silly pic! Tell us in the comments!

Chuck Inglish – For the Love Lyrics
[Verse 1: Chuck]
High class, if the stock crash
Got gold bars in the book bag
Small jabs, makin' large stacks
Two-stepping how Stella got her groove back
The crew's wrapped, this is how we do raps
This is breaking news. What you doing? How you do that?
Who asked you to do that?
(Get off yo phone when you on the dance floor!)
This ain't preschool, I don't do it for my health
It's in the bank, it's accumulating wealth
I feel great, it looks great
We 'bout to order up the lox plate
Fresh-squeezed everything
Got there, hit the store, copped everything
Olympic trial nigga gold medal everything
Feeling like I can do anything
[Hook x2: Chuck]
This is all that we want
Not much, give it all, give it up
If it ain't all for the love
This is all that we love
[Verse 2: Asher]
Ay yo my cake taste great
Let me eat when I wake and I bake
Head straight, I'mma make it
Got my name carved in the tree
Work hard dog, art star all in a day
We gon' ball, get paid
Get caught in the dark, or lost in thoughts from eighth grade
When I first heard curse words, new bro slang
Rirruto. Who doe? New ballgame
Gimme the loot, it's a too dope thang
Kudos, you know, choose yo, lane
Numero uno, use yo krang
Don't be so amazed when they use yo name
While y'all sittin' talkin' 'bout who's kang
You should be ashamed, what are you saying?
This is life when we write it and recite
We the titans of the tight, being the brightest of the light (c'mon...uh)
[Hook x2]

An Evening with Deborah Miranda, author of Bad IndiansSan Francisco, CA
Bummer! Sales have ended.
Unfortunately, tickets for this event are no longer on sale.
Event Details
An Evening with Deborah Miranda, author of Bad Indians
Join us for an evening with author Deborah Miranda. Her book, Bad Indians, part tribal history, part lyric and intimate memoir. Deborah A. Miranda tells stories of her Ohlone Costanoan Esselen family as well as the experience of California Indians as a whole through oral histories, newspaper clippings, anthropological recordings, personal reflections, and poems. The result is a work of literary art that is wise, angry, and playful all at once, a compilation that will break your heart and teach you to see the world anew. Deborah A. Miranda is an enrolled member of the Ohlone Costanoan Esselen Nation of California, and is also of Chumash and Jewish ancestry. The author of two poetry collections—Indian Cartography, which won the Diane Decorah Award for First Book from the Native Writer's Circle of the Americas, and The Zen of La Llorona, nominated for the Lambda Literary Award—she also has a collection of essays, The Hidden Stories of Isabel Meadows and Other California Indian Lacunae, forthcoming from the University of Nebraska Press. Miranda is an associate professor of English at Washington and Lee University and says reading lists for her students include as many books by "bad Indians" as possible

2009 All-CAA Football First Team Offense
2009 All-CAA Football First Team Defense
2009 All-CAA Football First Team Special Teams
2009 All-CAA Football Second Team
2009 All-CAA Football Third Team
2009 CAA Football All-Conference
CAA Football's 2009 All-Conference teams, voted on by the 12 CAA Football head coaches, were handed out following an exciting 2009 season which included a record four wins over FBS foes and as many as eight squads were ranked among the FCS Coaches' Top-25 poll.
Villanova junior wide receiver/running back Matt Szczur was chosen as the 2009 CAA Football Offensive Player of the Year and the 2009 CAA Football Special Teams Player of the Year. The league's Defensive Player of the Year honor went to James Madison defensive lineman Arthur Moats, while Villanova head coach Andy Talley was named the league's 2009 Coach of the Year. Talley guided the Wildcats to the No. 2 overall seed in this season's NCAA Division I Football Championship. James Madison redshirt freshman quarterback Justin Thorpe was named the league's top Offensive Rookie, while William and Mary defensive back B.W. Webb picked up CAA Football's 2009 Defensive Rookie of the Year honor.
2009 CAA Football Champions Richmond and Villanova led the way by each garnering six selections to the All-CAA Football First Team. William and Mary was not far behind with five on the First Team, while both Massachusetts and Delaware logged four. James Madison and New Hampshire each had two First Team selections, while Hofstra, Maine and Northeastern also had one on the league's First Team.
Szczur, who head coach Andy Talley called the best player he has had on the Mainline since Brian Westbrook, was a do-it-all threat for the Wildcats' offense logging touches as a wide receiver, running back and quarterback. The junior was the only player in all of major college football (FBS and FCS) to log touchdowns as a receiver, rusher, returnman and quarterback. Szczur, who logged 68 carries for 467 yards and five touchdowns for Villanova, also caught 36 balls for 358 yards. Used as a Wildcat-formation quarterback, Szczur was perfect on three pass attempts during the regular season including two for touchdowns. The Erma, N.J., native ended the regular season ranked third in the league in scoring touchdowns with a 5.5 points/game average on a total of 10 touchdowns in 2009.
As a returnman, Szczur proved his capabilities by totalling 629 yards and a touchdown on 23 returns in the 2009 regular season. His average of 27.3 yards per return heading into the playoffs ranks second in CAA Football and fourth among the FCS national leaders. Szczur's 1,454 all-purpose yards in 2009 is second-best in the league standings, while his average of 132.2 all-purpose yards per game ranks as a Top-20 national mark.
Moats received Defensive Player of the Year honors after leading the league in sacks, tackles for loss and defensive linemen tackles. The Portsmouth, Va., native made 90 tackles in 11 games this season for a mark of 8.2 per game. His 2.14 tackles for loss per game not only leads the league, but also ranks as the best regular-season mark in all of major college football (FBS and FCS). Moats, who is listed on the Buck Buchanan Award ballot, totalled a league-best 11 sacks on the year and is tied with William and Mary defensive end Adrian Tracy in the category.
Talley, now in his 25th season at Villanova, garnered his first Coach of the Year honor since earning the award in 1997. He guided the Wildcats to a share of the CAA Football title and the league's automatic bid into the 2009 NCAA Division I Football Championship. Talley, who led Villanova to its first league title since 2001, ranks as CAA Football's winningest league-game coach after notching his 107th conference win Saturday over Delaware. The 30-year coaching veteran also moved into esteemed company in 2009 when he garnered his 200th collegiate head coaching win. With the Wildcats' win over Rhode Island (Oct. 24), Talley joined a group of just 55 other NCAA football head coaches which have reached the 200-win plateau.
Thorpe, who began the 2009 season as part of a two-quarterback system at James Madison, was called on midway through the season to be JMU's starter after an injury ended Drew Dudzik's season. Thorpe responded by finishing the season with 1,260 passing yards and six touchdowns to go with 654 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 148 carries. Thorpe, a Richmond, Va., native, finished the regular season ranked sixth in the conference's passing efficiency numbers with a mark of 130.8. The redshirt freshman also was ninth among CAA Football's total offense leaders with 174.0 yards/game.
Webb, who began his redshirt-freshman campaign with a three-interception performance in a win at Virginia, is the first-ever William and Mary player to win the league's Defensive Rookie of the Year honor. Webb, who was one pick shy of the league's single-game interceptions mark against the Cavaliers, was given the FWAA/Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week honor following his standout performance. The Newport News, Va., native finished the regular season tied atop the league's interception leaders with five, including 102 yards in interception returns and one touchdown.
CAA Football In The FCS Polls
For a complete rundown of both the Sports Network Top-25 and the FCS Coaches Poll visit page 27 of the weekly release. Below are highlights and notes about CAA Football in the year's final rankings.
The Sports Network Top-25
-- CAA Football shows four squads among the final 2009 Top-25, extending what is now a two-week season-low streak for the conference. The last time the league had as few as four appear in The Sports Network Poll was Sept. 3, 2007.
-- Prior to the Nov. 22 edition of the poll, CAA Football did not have fewer than five programs ranked this season, and had as many as seven ranked on four occasions earlier in 2009 (Preseason-Sept. 14 & Oct. 12).
-- Villanova's spot at No. 1 gives the league hold of the poll's top-spot for 10 of the year's 14 editions. Richmond held the No. 1 ranking for nine-straight weeks from Sept. 7-Nov. 2 before losing to then-No. 4 Villanova.
-- CAA Football teams make up four of the Top-7 in the final 2009 poll, while the remaining three teams are from three different conferences -- Big Sky (Montana), Missouri Valley (Southern Illinois) and Southern (Appalachian State).
-- The league has had at least three teams ranked every week since the poll's inception and two teams among the poll's Top-10 in 69-straight weeks and 95 of the last 99 editions.
FCS Coaches Top-25
-- CAA Football closed out the 2009 season with three-straight weeks showing a season-low four ranked teams.
-- The league had as many as eight ranked this season in the Coaches poll, while the league's total of four ranked squads to close out 2009 equals the fewest dating back to the Sept. 3, 2007 edition of the FCS Coaches Top-25.
-- Villanova's National Championship elevated it to the No. 1 ranking in the poll and helped add to CAA Football's number of weeks in the top-spot during 2009. Richmond was at No. 1 for nine-straight weeks from Sept. 7-Nov. 2 before falling to then-No. 4 Villanova.
-- The league holds four of the Top-7 spots in this week's poll, marking 12-straight editions the league has had at least four in the Top-10.
-- Since the FCS Coaches Poll debuted in 2007 CAA Football has had at least four squads ranked in every edition (42 weeks).
Bring On The BCS/FBS
CAA Football logged a record-breaking total of four wins over BCS/FBS opponents in 2009. New Hampshire (Ball State), Richmond (Duke), Villanova (Temple) and William and Mary (Virginia) all added BCS/FBS victories to the league's current total of 29 non-conference wins in 2009.
The league has an all-time mark of 27-112 (.194) against BCS/FBS opponents dating back to the 1978 I-A/I-AA split by the NCAA. Prior to 2009, the league had not beaten more than three BCS/FBS squads in a single season.
CAA Football finished the 2009 season 2-1 against the Mid-American Conference and had a .500 (2-2) mark against the Atlantic Coast Conference (BCS). The only wins for FCS squads, as recognized by the NCAA, over BCS/FBS teams this season came from CAA Football (4-86).
Note: Central Arkansas (Southland, FCS) beat Western Kentucky (Sun Belt, FBS), 28-7, Sept. 19, but was in its final year of NCAA Division I FCS transition and was not recognized as an FCS program in the NCAA statistics.
CAA Football has now won 18 games versus BCS/FBS opponents in the last 10 years. The league has garnered at least one win over BCS/FBS foes in seven of the last eight years, and multiple wins over BCS/FBS teams in six of the last eight years.
For a complete list of CAA Football's wins over BCS/FBS opponents check out page 26 of the weekly release.

Villanova's 23-straight weeks in the Top-10 is right behind Richmond, while William and Mary's mark of 13-straight ranks as the sixth-longest string. New Hampshire extended a two-week Top-10 streak after falling out of the Top-10 prior to the end of the regular season.

JMU's Moats Named The Buck Buchanan Award Winner
James Madison's Arthur Moats became the second player in league history, and the second JMU player, to earn the Buck Buchanan Award as the top defensive player in the FCS in 2009.
Moats' honor pushes the league's overall National Award total from The Sports Network to 13. CAA Football has logged six Walter Payton Award Winners, five Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year honorees and now two Buck Buchanan Award Winners.
Moats won by the largest margin in Buchanan Award history, earning 37 first-place votes and 342 points to finish 110 points ahead of runner-up J.C. Sherritt, a linebacker from Eastern Washington. South Dakota State defensive end Danny Batten was third with 183 points.
The Buchanan Award was established in 1995 by The Sports Network and is named for the legendary Grambling State and Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle.
Moats, one of two Consensus First Team All-America picks from CAA Football in 2009, was the league's Defensive Player of the Year after leading the nation in tackles for loss with 23.5 in 11 games.
Villanova & Richmond Earn AP Top-25 Votes in 2009
Villanova, which earned votes in the Final 2009 Associated Press (AP) Top-25, joined Richmond in making CAA Football the only FCS Conference ever to have two different schools earn AP votes in the same season. The Spiders became the first FCS team in two years to earn votes in the AP Top-25 Poll, Nov. 1.
The AP changed its policy and opened its poll to all Division I football teams following Appalachian State's epic upset at Michigan in September of 2007. Previously, just FBS (I-A) teams were permitted.
The Mountaineers went on to receive votes in two consecutive AP polls (Sept. 9 and 18) that season. Northern Iowa appeared once (Nov. 18) and Appalachian State got votes in the final poll after winning the National Championship in 2007. No FCS teams received AP recognition in 2008. In addition to Richmond and Villanova earning votes in 2009, Montana also garnered a vote in the Dec. 6 version of the AP Top-25 this season.
Villanova's Osunde Named CAA Football Student-Athlete Of The Year
Villanova's Osayi Osunde, who earned the 2009 CAA Football Student-Athlete of the Year Award, maintains a 3.959 grade point average and is working towards his Master's Degree in Human Resource Development.
The Bloomsburg, Pa., native was a 2009 Second Team All-CAA Football selection at linebacker and earned recognition from the Philadelphia Inquirer as an Academic All-Area Team member. Now a three-time Academic All-CAA Football honoree, Osunde earned ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA First Team Academic All-District honors during the 2009 season and was the Villanova Athletic Department's Senior Student-Athlete of the Year in 2009.
CAA Football -- NCAA Championship Notebook

I worked at MannKind
Pros – The compensation package was thorough and competitive. When they did have to lay off employees, I think they were generous with their severance packages. There were opportunities to wear many hats and try a lot of different roles, as long as your work didn't suffer for it. There were some truly kind, knowledgeable and hardworking people there who were willing to help you learn different disciplines within the company.
Cons – It was a total pressure cooker, and a lot of favoritism, which inevitably led infighting between the different departments. They were thick with middle management, and it led to some managers losing touch with what their employees actually accomplished on a daily basis. The gap between management and mid- to lower-level employees was rather large, and the way management was compensated comparatively was off-putting.
Advice to Senior Management – Reward your employees based on their actual performance, and not on management cronyism. narrow the gap between the different work levels and encourage your different departments and teams to truly work together instead of against one another. Invest in the social areas of your workforce, and bring back things like the summer barbecues--they were good for morale of the company.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

The Discovery of King Tut Brings One of Archaeology's Seminal Events to Life in North America for the First Time
ATLANTA, Jan. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Premier Exhibitions, Inc. ("Premier Exhibitions") (Nasdaq: PRXI), a leading presenter of museum quality touring exhibitions, announced today that it will bring The Discovery of King Tut, an exhibition that recreates one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century, to North America for the first time. The partnership with Semmel Concerts GmbH ("Semmel"), gives Premier Exhibitions the exclusive rights to tour the exhibition in North America. Semmel has successfully toured a similar exhibition in Europe since 2008, with approximately five million people experiencing the exhibition in 20 host cities.

"The addition of The Discovery of King Tut to Premier's portfolio of traveling exhibition concepts supports our growth strategy by adding compelling content that will captivate, educate and inspire audiences across North America," said Samuel S. Weiser, president and CEO of Premier Exhibitions. "Our partnership with Semmel will allow visitors to experience an extraordinary view into the treasures of King Tut as they were when the tomb was first discovered."
The Discovery of King Tut recreates the moment of Howard Carter's remarkable finding of the lost tomb of Tutankhamun. Utilizing over 1,000 reproductions of the treasures discovered in the undisturbed tomb, the exhibition provides an incomparable presentation of not only Carter's experience of entering the burial chamber for the first time, but also of 18th dynasty Egyptian history. The objects, beautifully and scientifically reproduced by leading Egyptian artisans, provide the opportunity to experience the splendor of King Tutankhamun's tomb without compromising the fragile originals, most of which are not permitted to be toured.
"The concept of the exhibition really breaks new ground in presenting ancient Egyptian cultural history," said Dr. David P. Silverman, Professor of Egyptology at University of Pennsylvania. "Egyptian antiquities from King Tut's tomb can no longer travel outside Egypt, but this exhibition will make available nearly 1,000 precise replicas of breathtaking items found among the young pharaohs treasures."
The Discovery of King Tut will join Premier Exhibitions, Inc.'s portfolio of blockbuster exhibitions that are renowned for educating and inspiring large audiences around the world. The Company's additional exhibitions have collectively been seen by more than 55 million people worldwide, making them among the most attended exhibitions in the world.
"When we began our search for a partner to bring our exhibition to North America for the first time, Premier Exhibitions was a perfect fit," said Dieter Semmelmann, CEO of Semmel Concerts GmbH. "Premier's reputation in the museum-quality touring exhibition industry is unrivaled, and we are delighted to be working with them to give people in North America, for the first time, the chance to experience what a truly phenomenal discovery finding the lost tomb of King Tut really was."
Host venues and run dates for The Discovery of King Tut will be announced shortly.

MD Resort in North Fort Worth Texas was recently bestowed a great honor. We were given the red chair. Ok, so your thinking, it is a chair that happens to be red.
The holidays are official! The holidays are official on Thanksgivings Eve when people are really beginning to rush around getting everything ready for Thanksgiving day. For most people, this means food. How much food? That is the question. I know in my home, there was 5 different types of stuffing, 2 types of turkey, roast beef, and 3 slightly different green bean casseroles sitting right next to the freshly picked green beans.
