Brain Research Bulletin
The Brain Research Bulletin (BRB) aims to publish novel work that advances our knowledge of cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie neural network properties associated with brain function and behavior and plastic changes occurring in the healthy nervous system or that is linked to neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases. The BRB is especially interested in studies investigating in vivoneural functions using novel methodologies, such as optogenetics, multielectrode array recordings and life imaging. Although clinical research is out of the Journal's scope, the BRB is interested in publishing translation research that provides insight into biological mechanisms and processes affected in disease, such as the use of animal models for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Accordingly, studies on drugs with novel targets and actions are also of interest.
Manuscripts should use a combination of experimental approaches to address at least two of the general areas aforementioned; research that is exclusively descriptive in nature will not be considered for publication. For example, manuscripts describing changes in RNA or protein expression patterns alone are not appropriate for publication but can be considered if they include experiments that investigate the function of those proteins or how changes in their expression levels may be related to behavior, plasticity or neurotransmission. In addition, studies that exclusive report on the association of genetic polymorphism with disease, but fail to include additional experiments demonstrating alterations in the gene's expression or to address potential biological mechanisms relevant to the disease, will not be viewed favorably by the Journal.
Brain Research Bulletin offers simple electronic submission, accelerated peer-review, rapid publication and high quality color production with no expense to authors. Section Editors are committed to work closely with authors to provide constructive assistance to enhance visibility and impact of published articles.

Bad food, Overpriced and Pretentious – I am sure people who have written good reviews for this restaurant are either the restaurant staff itself or people who have no idea what indian food is! The food was not fresh, our food looked like it was cooked like a few days ago and heated up in a microwave. It was not tasty and at the end we get a check which did not justify the price of the food. And did i mention, they even calculate the 18% tip themselves and include it in the check so you have no choice but pay a tip of 18% however the service was (which was average by the way). And they even have an extra line when you sign on the check which says "Additional Tip".Damn...So if you decide to go there, be ready to spend a lot of money for crappy so called indian food
DO NOT GO TO MAHARANI! – Ok, I think I got fooled by their website...I took my wife for valentine's day last night...all i can say it was one of the worst indian foods I've had in the States.....If you really want to have good indian food in a restaurant with nice ambience....i would strongly recommend Amber on Market St.....I just love the food there....I am moving out of Bay area and I would really miss the food at Amber......Reader of this review- do not go Maharani, if you see any good reviews, it may be written by a non-indian coz many non-indians cannot tell the difference between good and not so good indian food....take my word and go to Amber, u'll love it there....I promise!
Good Service – I was on my first date, I need to spend some private time with her so I decided to take her to Maharani Restaurant. Restaurant was famous for Indian Food.
She never eaten Indian Food earlier but when I took her, she ordered food. Food was on table within 10 minutes. Climate was Romantic. Service was amazing. Food looks great and she took the first bite of all the dish which ever order. She liked the food.
I?m thankful to the hotel authority for helping me in my first date by providing Good service.
Below average food and decor – I'm a bit confused, but seeing that every Tom, and Harry is capable of writing a review I guess I can't fault the review sites for giving restaurants more credit than they're worth.
First off, we didn't eat in the 'Fantasy Room' but the regular dining area wasn't anything special. In fact, it wasn't anything I'd expect for a high end establishment. Seriously people, look at the part of town this place is in, do you really think that there's going to be this luxurious high end restaurant there??? Although the food is more new age Indian, Dosa is the type of nice establishment that would be comparable to the level this place is being advertised as by CitySearch.
The food: below average. The Saag was literally un-flavored spinach in little sauce. The appetizers were bland as well. There was nothing special about the food at all, and this was below par by far. I'll be honest, the classiest Indian in this city has unfortunately been Dosa (too expensive, but a twist on Indian food). The best tasting Indian is the Naan and Curry right down the street from Maharnini....if you're in it for the food and not trying to impress, you can't go wrong with Naan and Curry...it's just like the food my mom made for me. As for Maharini, it's out of it's league for what CitySearch is calling one of the best Indian in town....trust me, not even worth going to. San Francisco in general has had some of the worst Indian I've had in the states...only LA might be as bad. Go to Dosa if you're on a date, go to Naan and Curry if you just want a good meal.
Fair. – From reading reviews and the restaurant's website, I had high expectations. There were 6 of us, so we did not eat in the Fantasy Room. The staff was nice but enough went wrong during the meal that I couldn't enjoy it. We were never asked if we wanted drinks before our order was taken, therefore the apperitifs came when the food arrived. This was 20 minutes after ordering them, and then only half of the drinks arrived. Two entrees came, which looked like appetizers and were treated as such. So one person's entree was eaten by all of us! Papadam came, without the dipping sauces. They were eaten, then the sauces came, but not any papadam. $14 a glass for California Pinot? In an Indian restaurant?
The food was good, but not great.
The staff did try to rectify things, but the service was uneven. Dessert was great though and the chef did accomodate one guest who had strict dietary restrictions. The decor didn't add anything to the atmosphere. I think there are better Indian places with great food (Masala in the Sunset).
Best Indian Resturaunt around – I had dinner in the resturaunt last night an it was an absolutely wonderful experience. We had tandoori chicken and it is the best we have ever had. Probably the best Indian resturaunt i've ever been to.The wine has a very good selection and i was impressed by the overall ambience. Check it out..
Most Romantic!!! – Perhaps the most romantic Restaurant in San Francisco...the only restaurant in the world with One Million Hearts...Fantasy Room is breathtaking...I heard the owner is a poet and an artist.
Restaurant with a Heart... one million hearts speak the story of love! – I enjoyed dining at Maharani Restaurant...they have a very authentic Indian food, a very romantic place for a couple....I highly recommend this restaurant to people who wanted to enjoy dining out with their special ones.
One Million Hearts! – Gracious hospitality, very refined dishes, friendly service and the breathtaking statue of Radha in the Fantasy Room...and One Million Hearts gracing the walls of Maharani...almost the 8th wonder of the world...right here in San Francisco...I think the name of this restaurant should be HeartThrob Restaurant or simply Dharkan...Indian name for heart-beat. I hear the owner of this restaurant is an artist and a poet.
The Real Indian Taste – Maharani, as the name itself explains the royalty, and the fine dine.....is one of the best Indian restaurant in the Bay area. I've been living in Bay area since 2000, and visited many other Indian restaurant, but there's none like Maharani..... Service is great with very welcomming enviornment, once you are in expect the best behavior. The food is JUST DELICIOUS....presentation of the food is gracefull, I was expecting the same Indian taste, but with my first bite, i knew this was the right place with right food. I Recommend it to everybody to really enjoy delicious and joyfull food.

Nice HC DH. I would personally prioritize plvling and up your disc, but it seems you're all about the MF. On that note increasing plvl=increasing MF+GF, so that's something to keep in mind. Usually I'd stick to the bat/ferret, but you are running in HC so I can see how the use of the boar can be helpful. I also commend your passive skill choices, but I am biased because that's my passive setup as well. GG.

Re: How to Multishot - A Speedfarming DH Guide
for 1.08 multiplayer this build will be pretty good i think
you dont need vault because monsters will be busy hitting other people + they pick up the orbs for you

Re: How to Multishot - A Speedfarming DH Guide
Consider using suppression fire, full broadside rune, or even arsenal for your MS rune. Between the bat, punishment, vengeance, and HA I don't see why you can't do something with a little extra punch or +disc for stability. Personally I'd probably use FB//Arsenal unless you want to be able to keep your disc up for those times you need punishment//shadow power.
As for Archery//Steady Aim, I'd probably exchange at least one for Perfectionist//Night Stalker since you have a good amount of skills regenerating hatred. I feel like some kind of gain for disc will make your build a little more stable. Unless that's not a problem for you ofc.
TL;DR: Choose a stronger MS rune. You can afford it.

Re: How to Multishot - A Speedfarming DH Guide
What I've come to find in playing a lot of high mp multiplayer is that fire at will is the best multishot rune, hands down. It's spamability arguably makes it one of the best AoE skills in the game. The other runes are very fun and good in theory, but I think fire at will takes the cake despite putting up with elites that have high lightning resist. I know I've said otherwise in the past, but I'm speaking from many tests and experienced play since then.
Here's my mutiplayer build if anyone's interested:

intro_Ask-The-Experts1 of 12
Change is OK2 of 12
"When I lived alone, I always kept the bathroom door open. When I moved in with my boyfriend, I thought that if I changed the open-door policy, then I'd soon be changing other things to suit him—then after years of changing little things, who would I be? After longer than I'd like to admit of adhering to the open-door practice (and a significant loss of libido on both our parts), I finally admitted to myself that, when 'me' becomes 'we,' it's OK to be flexible. You'll still be you. Besides, maintaining a little mystery, it turns out, can be a turn-on." —Mara Altman, author of Thanks for Coming
Don't Lose Yourself3 of 12
"If the 'me' feels like it's becoming 'we,' then you are marrying the wrong person. You must never lose yourself in someone else. A relationship with the best shot of going the distance is made up of two distinct individuals who share a house, children, their hearts and a future, but they each remain true to his and her own self." —Iris Krasnow, author of The Secret Lives of Wives
Be Considerate4 of 12
"You can no longer put your own needs and wants first all the time. You can't just fly off with for a girls' weekend or a golf outing or go for a happy hour and come home at 1AM. Be sure to consider that you now have someone else that you must put before yourself. One of the biggest things I hear in my coaching practice is the lack of compromise in the relationship that took place and how hurtful it was. If you aren't ready to give up parts of your life to become a 'we,' then you aren't ready to stop being a 'me.'" —Lee Block, founder of The Post-Divorce Dating Club
Don't Give Up5 of 12
"The idea that we have to give up something to be in a relationship is an unnecessary deterrent from making a commitment. When I can eat out at the best restaurant in town, I certainly don't feel I have to give up eating junk food. By taking more time before making a commitment, the pluses naturally overshadow any minuses." —John Gray, Ph.D., author of the Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus series
Slay "Your Way"6 of 12
"Anyone will tell you that compromise is essential to any marriage. The question then becomes How much compromise is necessary, and what should you compromise over? Some adjustments always need to be made. When you are talking day-to-day procedural things, from when to pay what bill and who does what chore, think New way, not whose way. You have to be able to let go of the notion that there is a right and wrong way to do things. There is your way and your spouse's way; then there is a way that will work for the both of you." —Judge Lynn Toler, star of Divorce Court
Work at It7 of 12
"During this transition, you have to take into account the amount of effort and time a relationship takes. People often get the wrong idea about romance from Hollywood and rom-coms, but what those movies don't show is what happens after 'happily ever after' begins and the real world sets in. Anything worth having takes a little work, and that's never truer than when it comes to love and marriage. Communicate often, make time for each other, and be the best partner you can be." —Laura Berman, Ph.D., author of Real Sex for Real Women
Don't Lose "Me"8 of 12
"Never, never, never, never, never become a 'we.' 'We' kills eroticism. 'We' murders love. 'We' snaps you in leg shackles and glues you both to the couch in your seven-year-old underwear. Compromise all you like. Bargaining is a sport all women can win. But if I hear about any of you becoming a 'we,' I'll drive to your house and flog you with my old flip-flop." —E. Jean Carroll, advice columnist for ELLE
Make It Fit9 of 12
"Each partner must be willing to shave off a little here and there to ensure that the pieces of each other's life fit well together. Here you have two distinct people with two distinct histories along with varying perspectives, beliefs and approaches to life. Change becomes the glue that causes two unrelated pieces to form together, and the level of each person's willingness to do so only better facilitates a smooth transition and a happy ending." —Jacqueline Del Rosario, Ph.D., motivational speaker and "America's Marriage Doctor"
Bend and Sway10 of 12
"My formula for a good relationship: Stand like an oak, bend like grass. Some people fail to budge even on minor issues, as if the relationship is some kind of competition that they can't afford to lose. A problem arises when one person does more than her fair share of giving in and going along. It's not good to compromise out of a fear of rocking the boat, or because you're so conflict-avoidant that you can't hold your ground. When people have no bottom line, their self-regard and their relationship will spiral downward." —Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., author of Marriage Rules
Know Your Affect11 of 12
"When a couple gets married, 'self-care' becomes 'us-care.' Partners need to realize that caring for one's physical, mental, spiritual and financial well-being is no longer a solo affair. Your decisions, healthy or unhealthy, now intimately affect the happiness, health and fulfillment of someone other than yourself. Giving up Let me do my own thing; it shouldn't effect you and recognizing the impact these choices have on your partner is one of the hallmarks of a mature relationship." —Michael Batshaw, LCSW, author of Before Saying "I Do": The Essential Guide to a Successful Marriage
Better Together12 of 12
"The 'we space' is where the rules of the relationship are written. You stay who you are, but you become enhanced. Less appealing habits get pointed out, and hopefully you change for the better. Simultaneously, untapped positive qualities get drawn out and encouraged by the person who cares about you. Overall, you should be adding to each other's lives, not taking away, and supporting each other's goals, hopes and dreams." —Lori Zaslow, star of Bravo's Love Broker and co-owner of Project Soulmate

Title: Innovative Teacher & Education Coach
My professional career started with my qualifications in environmental chemistry and marine biology, followed by working as a teacher with specialization in didactics and 'Information and Communication Technology' (ICT). I'm now focusing on my thesis for my Master of Arts and Social Science in 'Adult Learning and Global Change' (ALGC), with the working title Navigating Distributed Knowledge with the use of Web Tools.
In 2012 I've started eduToolkit a 'Grassroots Organization' promoting 'Teachers Open Online Learning' (TOOL) for Professional Development. We investigate the concept of 'The Networked Teacher' and find out more about 'Networked Literacy & Fluency' in education. Our aim is to provide a free teacher training, where the desire to learn is fully met by the opportunity to do so. This challenge is still under development and will be linked to the next iteration of eduToolkit - The Use of Web Tools in Networked Learning [#CNT12] (16/4 – 4/5, 2012) on the Peer-2-Peer University (P2PU). I'm developing our first course with help of WikiEducator called Certified Networked Teacher - The Use of Web Tools and we will use assessment through Mozilla Open Badges Project.
Activity: We have completing the first iteration of "eduToolkit - Promoting Teachers Open Online Learning" [TOOL] and will on 16/4 start "eduToolkit - The Use of Web Tools in Networked Learning" [#CNT12]. At the moment I participate as one of the co-facilitators in "Empower Your Personal Learning (for teachers)"

"I didn't really expect there to be one thing because I don't think there's one thing. I'd like to have more inside scoring. I'd like to get to the free throw line more. I'd like our big guys to turn it over less. I'd like us to be more consistent shooting the ball from the outside. I'd like us to handle the dribble penetration better. And I really believe probably last year with 10 games left in the conference, I probably would have been saying the same thing, too.
"This is not an excuse, but it is an excuse – with a young team, you don't know what you're going to get from one day to the next. I think our team was just as surprised as I was that we didn't play well Sunday. I thought we would because we'd had some really good practices, but with a young team, it's harder to take it from the practice court to game night. Yet, every time I say something like that, I violate one of my principles because it's not just about us. Virginia had something to do with it. And I think around here, we talk so much about us that we don't give the other team credit."
You've said it's not a time to panic, but how much of a sense of urgency do you have?
"I don't. One of the greatest things that's happened to me in coaching, and it will be stupid to all of you, but was Deon Thompson at the banquet. We had had a sorry year and he said the greatest thing about Coach Williams was that every day he came to practice and tried to make us feel like we could get this thing turned around. I'm going to do that. I guaran-dadgum-tee you if I play 17 holes and I am 900 over par, I'm going to try to birdie the last sucker. So it's not panic time for me. That's the way I coach… So I'm not going to panic. I've lost eight in a row before, so I am not going to panic."
Do you have to handle adversity a little different with this group because it might be a little more fragile?
"Uh huh, I think so. I was very discouraged after Virginia, but you can put any description you want on there after we came back from Florida State last year. And that was a much different practice than what my practice was yesterday because there was no sense in that one. And give Florida State some credit – they're the ones that beat us by 800. But we were a pretty doggone good team at that time and we were really good after that, too."
Did you like Reggie Bullock calling the team meeting earlier this week?
"Well, I don't know if Reggie called it. I heard that three guys said, 'Hey, everybody stay around.' And I don't know. I've never asked players what goes on in players' meetings. I don't expect them to ask me what goes on in coaches' meetings. Yesterday's thought for the day was something along the lines of great intentions are okay, but you need to act. That's what you've got to do, to put up or shut up."
What are your thoughts about Miami?
"They've missed Reggie [Johnson] for four or five games, so they're settled in a little bit more now. Defensively – and maybe our whole league is because every time I start talking about somebody in our league, they're holding their opponents to a really low percentage – but teams are shooting 37 percent against them. [Opponents] are shooting 30.8 percent from the 3-point line. Their free throw defense is even really good because teams are only shooting 66 percent against them at the free throw line. I don't know how they handle that, but I'd like to find out. So they guard you.
"They're guard influenced, but they're not just completely guard dominated. They're a difficult team to guard because Durand [Scott] can take the ball to the basket so well and get fouled, get to the rim and he can make some threes, too. We tried to go under the screen down there a couple of years ago and he makes three threes in the first eight minutes. [Shane] Larkin is really, really playing well. He's really aggressive and he's doing a good job. That gives them two point guards that have good assist-error ratios. Kadje is a difficult matchup because he's a 6-11, 240-pound guy who can score from 25 feet and he can dunk it over people inside as well. And then to have a guy like Rian Brown who can come off the bench in the last game and score 22 on the road.
"So they can score, they can defend. I think they've got poise. They're 4-1 on the road… So I think it is a complete team that guards you but also can score, too."

I am a Steeler fan who appreciates great teams. For the past 10 years, its been Steelers, Colts, Pats, Ravens, Packers, cowboys and Saints who have gotten all the attention. Best teams over all in the last 10 years - Pats, Colts, Steelers AND Giants period. ALL others are flash in the pans or want-a-bes.
Giants' all-hands-on-deck approach overwhelms Panthers
Are the Giants still updating their depth chart each week, as required by NFL rule? And if so, what's the point?
They lost Brandon Jacobs out of their backfield in the offseason and starter Ahmad Bradshaw to injury last week, so they simply turned their run game over to Andre Brown, a player cut eight times by five different teams in his career. All Brown did Thursday night in the Giants' 36-7 whitewash of Carolina was rush for 113 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries.
New York also said farewell to wide receiver Mario Manningham over the summer and had to roll without the services of injured starter Hakeem Nicks in Carolina. Big deal. Who needs those guys when you have Ramses Barden, he of the 16 career catches?
Not the Giants, apparently. Barden hauled in nine passes for 138 yards Thursday, matching and surpassing, respectively, his totals for the entire 2011 season.
Who's in the lineup? Who's out?
Who cares?
"Andre really stepped up when we needed him, and this week, the same right off the get-go," Eli Manning told the NFL Network after the game. "Ramses, he made a bunch of catches, made some big plays on high balls over the middle.
"He wanted an opportunity and he got it, and he stepped up."
The defending Super Bowl champs have discovered that magic formula for getting results, no matter who's in the lineup. Every NFL team wants to believe it has the depth and talent to survive whatever obstacles pop up during a season. Few actually possess that trait.
But everywhere you looked Thursday, the Giants were proving that they're in that elite group. Brown at running back, Barden at receiver, oft-injured Will Beatty stepping in on the offensive line with David Diehl injured (an addition-by-subtraction move, if you ask some Giants fans), Stevie Brown picking off a pass almost immediately after Antrel Rolle injured his knee Thursday …
The list goes on and on.
The Jets stole all the headlines in New York this offseason, thanks to one Tim Tebow, despite the Giants coming off a Super Bowl win. That was just fine with Tom Coughlin's crew, which seems to do its best work when it's flying under the radar and facing some adversity.
They found that combination again following a Week 1 letdown against the Cowboys, and they've responded with a vengeance.
Thursday's win, as so many often do, started up front. Defensively, the Giants frustrated Cam Newton, led by the unblockable Jason Pierre-Paul, forcing Carolina's second-year superstar into a three-interception night. Just as in a Week 1 loss to Tampa Bay, Newton had nowhere to run against New York (six yards on six carries) and received little help from his run game or team's play calling.
Offensively, with Sean Lockler sliding to right tackle to take Diehl's place while Beatty stepped in on the left side, the Giants paved the way for Brown's big night. More importantly, they protected Eli Manning like the Royal Guard protects the Queen. By my count, Manning was hit twice on 36 drop-backs — once in the first half on an incompletion, and once for a sack after halftime.
The Panthers were favored heading into this one, mind you, a fact that looks unbelievable now. But they were coming off an impressive win over the Saints and had a shot at a statement win at home.
Or, that is, Carolina had a shot until the game started.
Manning and the Giants took the opening kickoff and marched down the field with surgical precision on an eight-play, 80-yard drive that culminated with Manning drilling one in for the resurgent Martellus Bennett.
Carolina, on the other hand, punted on its first three possessions. And the Giants answered each with a score — two Lawrence Tynes field and the first of Brown's two TD runs.
"I was proud of the guys, we talked about getting a fast start," Manning said. "First drive, we got the ball and went 80 yards for a touchdown. That was a great start and we kept it going the whole game."
By the time halftime mercifully rolled around, the Giants had an insurmountable 20-0 lead, and it was 23-0 before the Panthers struck on a Newton TD keeper. New York came right back with 13 unanswered points to finish the game.
This was a setback for Newton's Panthers, there is no doubt about that. They now face a trip to Atlanta in Week 4 and the prospect of a season filled with potential spinning off into the guardrail before it gets revved up.
The Giants have their own Week 4 testing awaiting: a trip to Philadelphia on Sunday night to play the first place Eagles.
There's a decent chance the Giants will be an underdog in that one, simply by virtue of being away from home. That's just fine with them. No matter the opponent, no matter the circumstance and, certainly, no matter who is in the lineup, New York has shown it can endure.
It will be a few days before Coughlin knows which injured players he'll have back for that game against the Eagles. As long as his team continues its next-man-up approach, it may not matter.
Cam Newton, taking pointers from the Green Bay Packers, by saying the Giants didn't beat them, they beat themselves. Sigh, disrespecting your opponents. No longer a fan Cam.
@ny_kate #NYG played like champions and dominated in Prime Time fashion!
Ole Eli he gave dat SuperMan wannabee a lesson.
"The defending Super Bowl champs have discovered that magic formula for getting results, no matter who's in the lineup."
Simply put it's called good coaching. Tom Coughlin is still under-rated and under-appreciated in the NFL.
Great article.
The only thing in common is the QB. Eli is consistently under-rated, still. I do it, and I am a Giants fan!
@baycation1 So true baycation! The others are just all hype, especially the cowboys!
@JFKinNewHaven 4933 yards last year. 4th quarter TD record. 2 SB MVP's. How can you?
@DB @JFKinNewHaven All Giants fans usually underate our stars a bit. That's because we get bombarded by the Jet-hyped, Giant bashing sports media coverage here in NY.

The fulfilment of basic human needs, our environment, socio-economic development and poverty reduction are all heavily dependent on water.
Good management of water is especially challenging due to some of its unique characteristics: it is unevenly distributed in time and space, the hydrological cycle is highly complex and perturbations have multiple effects. Rapid urbanization, pollution and climate change threaten the resource while demands for water are increasing in order to satisfy the needs of a growing world population, now at over seven billion people, for food production, energy, industrial and domestic uses. Water is a shared resource and its management needs to take into account a wide variety of conflicting interests. This provides opportunities for cooperation among users.
In designating 2013 as the UN International Year of Water Cooperation, the UNGA recognizes that cooperation is essential to strike a balance between the different needs and priorities and share this precious resource equitably, using water as an instrument of peace. Promoting water cooperation implies an interdisciplinary approach bringing in cultural, educational and scientific factors, as well as religious, ethical, social, political, legal, institutional and economic dimensions.
"Water holds the key to sustainable development," said UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon in a video address today for World Water Day. "We must work together to protect and carefully manage this fragile finite resource."
It's the 20th anniversary of the United Nations holiday, but even after years of attempting to call attention to the severe lack of clean water in areas all over the world, millions still don't have access to clean drinking water or functional sanitation systems
On World Water Day, there's been a lot of talk about the 783 million people who lack clean water and the fact that in Africa, women and children spend about 40 billion hours a year collecting water.
The stats are heartbreaking and there are a host of organizations working to put an end to these water-related crises.
But there's also a whole crop of H2O-oriented problems right here in the developed world that no one has yet to address on this critical awareness day. What about cash-strapped pool owners? The rain haters? And those poor dieters who struggle each and every day to stay hydrated to stave off hunger?
The United States is in the midst of one of the biggest droughts in recent memory. At last count, over half of the lower 48 states had abnormally dry conditions and are suffering from at least moderate drought.
More than 80% of seven states were as of last week in "severe drought," characterized by crop or pasture loss, water shortage and water restrictions. Depending on whether the hardest-hit regions see significant precipitation, crops yields could fall and drought conditions could persist for months to come. Based on the latest data provided by the U.S. Drought Monitor, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the seven states running out of water.
U.S. Department of Agriculture meteorologist and Drought Monitor team member, Brad Rippey, explained that when the drought began in 2012, the worst of the conditions were much farther east, in states like Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan — the corn belt states. Based on pre-drought estimates, corn used for grain lost slightly more than a quarter of its potential. By the Summer of 2012, 59% of U.S. rangeland and pastureland was rated by the USDA as being in poor or very poor condition. The growing drought decimated national hay production, causing feed shortages, which in turn drove up prices in livestock.
By the fall of 2012, drought conditions continued to expand westward to its current epicenter — states like Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and Oklahoma. Rippey explained that most worrying is the drought's effects on the winter wheat crop, which is one of the biggest crops grown in the U.S., and which is grown almost entirely in the states in severe drought. While the region has had some precipitation recently, "winter wheat crop will need ideal conditions heading through the next few weeks just to break even. We're still trending towards a very poor hard red winter wheat crop at this point," Rippey said.
In addition to severe drought conditions, relatively large areas in the worst-off states are in "exceptional" drought, which the USDA identifies as "exceptional and widespread crop/pasture losses, shortages of water in reservoirs, streams, and wells creating water emergencies." More than 70% of Nebraska is currently classified as being in a state of "exceptional drought," which includes Exceptional and widespread crop/pasture losses; shortages of water in reservoirs, streams, and wells creating water emergencies.
Have heard of it, but have not done much research on it............

nytheatre.com q&a preview by Jennilyn Merten
July 30, 2012
What is your job on this show?
ACR, Producer.
When did you know you wanted to work in the theater, and why?
My first stint in theater was playing the trumpet in the "pit" for my high school's musicals, and I've had the theme from Oklahoma in my head for the last 20 years. Now, I am a documentary filmmaker. Last year, however, I was lured (bribed?) back into theater not by Oklahoma, but by Alabama--specifically, by a six foot four sweetheart named Jeff Key who joined the Marine Corps as a 34 year-old gay man nine months before 9-11. He was shipped to Iraq and kept a journal there that he eventually transformed into the one-man play "The Eyes of Babylon". He'd taken the play all over the country but never to NY. That's where I came in. We got him into the Americas Off Broadway Festival at 59E59 Theaters last summer with no money and no time to prep, but he walked away with a Drama Desk nomination. And I fell in love with the stage.
Complete this sentence: My show is the only one in FringeNYC that...?
will make you laugh about suicide, that offers professional Scrabble lessons, and that can put "Grandma", "cock block", "pork jowls", and SkipBo in a coherent sentence.
In your own words, what do you think this show is about? What will audiences take away with them after seeing it?
Performer and writer Matt Graham has a wicked, dry and irreverent style that is professionally self-effacing. This is a big autobiography attached to a human whose ego is caught somewhere between a Messiah Complex and agoraphobia. And the tone just right. You're offended just enough to maintain your sympathy but there's still plenty to argue over after the show. Plus Matt has an extraordinary story--I mean who leaves comedy after writing for Conan and SNL to take up professional Scrabble and try out for a college basketball team at 39? What I like best though, and what makes This Too Shall Suck more than just another stand up routine, is the sheer cojones it took to be serious at the end--to stop and have a moment of transformation. It's still hilariously odd, but its poignancy and risk grab you by the scruff and shake you a bit. You get to sink your teeth into something. It's nice to get a little dirt, a little meaning, and a lot of story in an hour of comedy.
Which famous New Jerseyite would like your show the best: Snooki, Bruce Springsteen, Thomas Edison?
The Boss!
Why should people come to FringeNYC this summer, rather than the beach, mountains, or the latest movie blockbuster?
Get your ass to some real art. Support the people who make you feel jealous and grumpy that you're still working 9-5. Maybe you'll be inspired and finally start that improv class you borrowed money from your mom for, but spent at happy hour, welcoming the weekend on Wednesday, (and admit it, Tuesday). Plus Fringe is full of sexy people doing crazy, funny, smart, sexy stuff that you'd get arrested for at the beach.

James Madison gives hoops coach Brady 4-year deal
HARRISONBURG, Va. (AP) - James Madison has given men's basketball coach Matt Brady a four-year contract extension.
The deal through the 2016-17 season comes after Brady guided the Dukes to a 21-15 record, their first Colonial Athletic Association tournament title in 19 years and their first NCAA tournament bid in the same span. Their first-round victory against LIU Brooklyn was their first NCAA tournament win in 30 years.
Financial terms were not released.
Brady has an 88-82 record in five seasons at James Madison. The Dukes have won 21 games three times under Brady, giving him three of the top seven single-season victory totals in program history. Before his arrival, the program had endured eight consecutive losing seasons.
Athletic director Jeff Bourne says the Dukes' development has created "genuine excitement for the future.''
Sharks take 2-0 series lead with 7-2 win vs. Kings
Canadiens grab 3-0 series lead with 3-2 win

Bullying complaints lodged at Harlandale ISD principal
Teachers, parents bring Vestal Elementary concerns to HISD board
Members of the Harlandale Education Association, teachers and parents attended the Harlandale ISD School Board meeting Tuesday night to discuss their concerns about the interim superintendent and Vestal Elementary with the board.
In a press release, the HEA says "a climate of bullying and retaliation" exists as Vestal.
"Whether that's justified or not, the feeling is out there and it's pretty pervasive," said HEA president, Cathy Stein.
The HEA wants to see the principal of Vestal removed and two teachers reinstated who were moved different campuses, unexpectedly the group says, in the middle of the school year.
"My concern is for my child's learning ability, for them to have substitute teachers weeks at a time," said Alexia Lopez, whose child is a 2nd grader at Vestal.
"Substitutes are coming in with less experience replacing teachers with more experience," said Sid Martin, another concerned parent.
The board allowed little public comment on the issues surrounding Vestal, but one woman who got up to speak told members "when you have a whole campus come to this meeting, there's a problem."
HISD says many of the groups' concerns are personnel matters which the district cannot address publicly.
"I can't elaborate on their concerns, but they will be meeting with HR to discuss their concerns," said Leslie Ann Garza, HISD Spokesperson."
Another woman attending the meeting plead with the board to "be the justice you have said you'll be for us and look into what is going on at Vestal Elementary."
The board decided to make interim superintendent, Rey Madrigal, the permanent superintendent for HISD, which was a decision met by lots of applause and support from those attending the meeting.
Around 9:30 p.m., the board moved into closed session to discuss the concerns at Vestal Elementary, but Garza said it was unlikely any decision would be made Tuesday.

First 5mm classic stapler answers surgeons' calls for 'right-sized' instruments for use in pediatric surgery, other delicate procedures
BOULDER, Colo., Feb. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- JustRight Surgical, a micro-laparoscopic medical device company devoted to miniaturizing surgical instrumentation, has received 510 (k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its JustRight™ 5mm Stapler. The stapler, the smallest classic stapler on the market, will be used by surgeons in pediatric and general surgery where access is limited and visibility is reduced. This is the third product from the company to win FDA clearance since its founding in 2010. JustRight Surgical, LLC is privately held by local investors who have supported the company mission over the last 2 years with $15 million in capital contributions.
For the pediatric surgical community in particular this device represents a major step forward. Medical device options configured specifically for pediatric surgery have been limited. Since 1972, when pediatric surgery became a recognized subspecialty, surgeons have been asking companies to miniaturize instrumentation to better serve infants and children requiring surgery.
"The needs of our smallest patients are unique, yet the surgical tools available to surgeons for these cases are virtually non-existent," said Dr. Steve Rothenberg, medical advisor and co-founder of JustRight Surgical. "In the electronics industry, miniaturization happens almost faster than we can absorb the changes. Meanwhile, the downsizing of surgical instrumentation has remained stagnant and we have made it our mission to change that."
Features of the JustRight 5mm Stapler, include:
"The absence of innovation in this market is primarily due to minimal financial incentives for large companies to develop these micro instruments," said Russ Lindemann, president and CEO of JustRight Surgical. "As a result, pediatric surgeons are forced to use devices originally designed for adults. These instruments can be oversized, overpowered and difficult to maneuver in small patients and tight spaces. We felt it was critical to answer the call for smaller devices and expand the options available."
Founded in 2010, JustRight Surgical's team of medical device professionals brings an extensive patent portfolio and a record of developing breakthrough technologies that have transformed surgical procedures. JustRight Surgical exists to serve healthcare providers by developing precisely designed surgical instruments that allow access to confined spaces and often delicate structures. By addressing this market, they are able to meet the specific needs of surgeons and promote the advancement of surgical approaches that reach beyond what traditional instruments have allowed. All of their products are designed and manufactured in the U.S. www.justrightsurgical.com.

The exercises ensure air crews are proficient at flying in all conditions. Flights will occur during the afternoon and evening, no later than 11pm. Officer commanding 171 Aviation Squadron, Major Matthew Williams, said the training had been designed to have as little impact on residents as possible but some noise would be noticeable. "People in surrounding areas will experience some noise as the helicopters travel to and from training locations," he said. "I would like to assure residents that all safety measures have been taken into consideration. Local authorities have been consulted, and the NSW Police Force has been briefed."

The location was very good since the hostel was 15 minutes away from the city center. We liked the fact that we could get in anytime during the night using a code. The rooms were in a good condition but the wall color and the curtains were a mood killer. All in all it was a good stay and a good value for money.

How the AG Helps Parents Meet Their Children's Medical Needs
How the AG Helps Parents Meet Their Children's Medical Needs By Greg Abbott Attorney General of Texas Most people are aware that the Attorney General's Office assists parents in obtaining financial support for their children. In State Fiscal Year 2004, the Attorney General's Child Support Division (CSD) collected a record-breaking $1.677 billion for Texas children. You may not know that my office also addresses a child's health care needs by including medical support in each child support order. More than 655,000 children on the CSD caseload are subject to a child support order that includes a provision to provide medical support. Access to health care is essential to a child's well-being. For that reason, Texas law requires that each child support order address medical support in addition to child support. In crafting the child support order, courts consider the cost and quality of health insurance that may be available to the parents, so that each child receives the best possible coverage. In many child support cases, the parent without custody is ordered to provide health insurance for the child through a policy available from the parent's employer or membership in a union, trade association, or other organization. If the custodial parent has comparable coverage that is available at a lower cost, the courts will order the non-custodial parent to pay additional child support to cover the cost of the health insurance premium for the child. If neither parent is able to obtain private health insurance at a reasonable cost, the custodial parent is ordered to apply on behalf of the child to a government-funded medical program such as Medicaid or the state Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The cost of the CHIP premium is added to the non-custodial parent's monthly child support payment. In addition, both parents may be required to pay a percentage of "out-of-pocket" medical expenses that are not covered through insurance. The percentage is determined by the financial circumstances of each parent. If neither parent has private insurance and the children are not eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, the courts will order the non-custodial parent to provide cash medical support in addition to the monthly child support payment. When the non-custodial parent is ordered to pay cash medical support, a notice of income withholding is sent to the employer according to the same procedures for withholding regular child support payments from the parent's paycheck. If the parent is ordered to provide insurance through the employer, the employer is required to enroll the child in health insurance coverage and withhold the necessary premium payments from the parent's income. The Child Support Division surveys Texas employers about private health insurance provided to their employees. By matching the names of children who are subject to medical support orders with employer data, my office has enrolled close to 330,000 children over the last two years in employer-provided dependent health care coverage. Enrolling children in private health insurance represents a significant cost savings to the state of Texas. The Child Support Division found that over half of the children my office enrolled in private insurance were also covered by Medicaid. This information allowed the Health and Human Services Commission to recover $17.4 million from private insurers and pharmacies for services Medicaid paid, but was not required to cover. In addition, the Attorney General's Office collected $10.4 million in cash medical support for families on Medicaid and distributed those collections to the Medicaid agency.

Consult your local directory for listings. POINTS TO REMEMBER Medical Support Texas law requires child support orders to include a provision for medical support, in this order: 1. Non-custodial parent provides health insurance available through his or her employer; 2. Custodial parent provides health insurance available through his or her employer, and the non-custodial parent reimburses cost of premium; 3. Non-custodial parent provides insurance from source other than employer; 4. Custodial parent applies for Medicaid or CHIP. The cost of the CHIP premium is added to the non-custodial parent's monthly child support payment; or 5. Non-custodial parent pays cash medical support. To find out more about services offered by the Attorney General's Child Support Division, visit the agency Web site at www.oag.state.tx.us. Or you can contact your local Child Support field office.

SACRAMENTO –Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez (D-Los Angeles) has released the following statement regarding the multiple-state foreclosure settlement announced today:
"All Californians have suffered harm, directly or indirectly, from the foreclosure crisis caused by bad actors in the banking industry. Today's historic settlement holds banks accountable, helps thousands of Californians stay in their homes, and gives us new tools to help stabilize our state's housing market. California's strong position in the enhanced settlement is due to the advocacy and tenacity of Attorney General Kamala Harris, and Californians owe her our thanks for how strongly she stood up to the banks on our behalf. There is still work to be done, and as the Assembly continues our efforts to help California recover from the recession and the housing crisis, we look forward to working with the Attorney General and other concerned parties to make sure today's giant step forward is followed by additional relief for the people of California."

Location: Blue Lake
On 01-25-2012, approximately 5:15 a.m. the Humboldt County Sheriffs Office was notified of an alarm at the Blue Lake Museum, 330 Railroad Avenue, Blue Lake. Deputies were immediately dispatched to the scene. While the deputies were enroute, a citizen called the Sheriff's Office after hearing the alarm and told the dispatcher they could see someone was inside the museum. Prior to the deputies' arrival the citizen saw the suspect flee on foot towards Hatchery road. The citizen described the suspect as being dressed all in black. When the deputies arrived on scene they saw the front door to the museum had been forced in and was damaged. The deputies searched the area for the suspect(s) with no success. With the assistance of museum staff, deputies were able to determine eleven antique female Native American Basket Hats were stolen. These hats range in estimated value from $1,200 to $3,500 dollars each. The glass case in which the hats were stored in was also smashed. The investigation into this case is continuing. Anyone with information for the Sheriffs Office regarding this case or criminal related activity is encouraged to call the Sheriffs Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriffs Office Crime Tip line 707-268-2539.

It's the Game of the Century II today in Baton Rouge as the nation's eyes once again turn toward the SEC. If LSU wins — and if Alabama beats Auburn tomorrow — you can likely print the tickets for an LSU-Alabama BCS title game… even if LSU loses to Georgia in the SEC title game. If Arkansas wins, well, then we'll have a good bit of chaos to unsort.
If you believe LSU and Bama are the two best teams in the country, then root for the Tigers this afternoon. If you're a hater of the BCS or just an anarchist, then pull for the Razorbacks. Either way, it should be another fun one in the SEC.
Arkansas at LSU
2:30pm on CBS
Why It Matters: This one game will go a long way in deciding the championships of the SEC West Division, the SEC overall and the BCS. Big enough for ya?
What Vegas Says: LSU by 11.5 (opened at -13.5)
What We Say: It's been a crazy series and Arkansas has certainly given LSU it's share of problems over the years. But for all the people pointing to the passing yards allowed by the Tigers against West Virginia, it's important to not that LSU still won that game 47-21. Great defense usually trumps great offense.
Prediction: LSU 31, Arkansas 22
Georgia at Georgia Tech
12:00pm on ABC
Why It Matters: Mark Richt has won nine games in a row and has captured the East Division crown. But lose this one and the anti-Richters will be screaming once again.
What Vegas Says: Georgia by 6 (opened at -5.5)
What We Say: Richt has only lost to Tech once in his tenure and Todd Grantham is now familiar with Tech's option attack.
Prediction: Georgia 30, Georgia Tech 24
Tennessee at Kentucky
12:21pm on SEC Network
Why It Matters: If UT wins, the Vols will go bowling. If UK wins, those rumors about Joker Phillips' job status will stop swirling.
What Vegas Says: Tennessee by 7 (opened at -9)
What We Say: The Vols have needed overtime in their last two trips to Lexington, but after winning 26 in a row against the Cats, how can you pick against Tennessee is this series?
Prediction: Tennessee 28, Kentucky 17
Alabama at Auburn
3:30pm on CBS
Why It Matters: We could talk about Bama's title hopes but there's just one thing you need to know — it's the frickin' Iron Bowl
What Vegas Says: Alabama by 21 (opened at -21.5)
What We Say: The Tide's rush offense is the 15th best in America (averaging 220 ypg). The Tigers' rush defense ranks 98th out of 120 teams (allowing 193 ypg on the ground).
Prediction: Alabama 34, Auburn 17
Vanderbilt at Wake Forest
3:30pm on ESPNU
Why It Matters: Vandy can reach just its third bowl game since 1982 with a victory.
What Vegas Says: Vanderbilt by 1.5 (opened at -1)
What We Say: James Franklin has done a good job of making the Dores competitive, but VU is still winless on the road this season.
Prediction: Wake Forest 28, Vanderbilt 27
Florida State at Florida
7:00pm on ESPN2
Why It Matters: Bragging rights in the Sunshine State. There's not much else that matters regarding this Disappointment Bowl.
What Vegas Says: Florida State by 3 (opened at -2.5)
What We Say: FSU ranks in the Top 10 nationally in rush defense, scoring defense and total defense. Meanwhile, Florida's offense has disappeared time and again.
Prediction: Florida State 24, Florida 17
Ole Miss at Mississippi State
7:00pm on ESPNU
Why It Matters: MSU players are looking for a bowl bid while Ole Miss players are saying goodbye to their coach.
What Vegas Says: MSU by 17 (opened at -18)
What We Say: Emotionally drained and down to their third starting quarterback of the season, Ole Miss just doesn't look capable of sending Houston Nutt out a winner.
Prediction: Mississippi State 31, Ole Miss 13
Clemson at South Carolina
7:45pm on ESPN
Why It Matters: Carolina is gunning for its 10th win of the season.
What Vegas Says: South Carolina by 4 (opened at -4)
What We Say: The Cocks have been both lucky and plucky in going 3-1 with a struggling, Marcus Lattimore-less offense. But now they're dealing with injuries on defense, too.
Prediction: Clemson 27, South Carolina 24

When it comes to interviews and alcohol, first thing's first. If you don't drink, don't drink. In business, it is better not to have alcohol, because you want to keep a clear head. Never walk around an event with a glass of wine pretending.
Here are some of the rules of interviews and alcohol:
While waiting in a restaurant for your interviewer to arrive, do not order alcohol.
If the interviewer asks you if you would like an alcohol beverage, ask first, "Are you having one?" (In an interview meal, the interviewee orders first and the interviewer orders second.)
If the interviewer is not having alcohol, you do not have alcohol either.
If the interviewer is having alcohol, you may join him/her… or not.
If the interviewer is throwing back three and four alcohol beverages, do not join him/her. Stop after the first.
An interviewer downing multiple cocktails is a red flag. Remember, you are interviewing the company as much as they are interviewing you.
If you do order alcohol, get a glass or red or white wine. Only because I care, will I tell you not to order white zinfandel when out on business. It's considered a little on the tacky side. If you want to keep the ball in the box in your fridge at home, that's fine. I promise not to tell anyone.
Plenty of non-alcohol beverages behind the bar: pop/soda, soda water with a lime (looks like a cocktail), or cranberry juice. Again, better to keep a clear head in business.
The Etiquette Tip of the Week may be forwarded to others who really, really need it, pinned to billboards, taped to the water cooler, blogged, Tweeted or used to fill that last little hole in your newsletter. Giving credit to the Culture and Manners Institute at http://www.cultureandmanners.com/ is the polite thing to do.
The Culture and Manners Institute is all about respect. Therefore, your email address will not be sold, traded or gifted to other parties, as that would not be a polite thing to do.
When you invite someone out to lunch, that means you are the host and you pick up the check. It also means you offer your guest the best seat. Which is the best seat?
The seat facing out into the dining room.
The seat with the best window view.
The seat that is away from the aisle traffic.
The seat that is the most comfortable. (In the case where one side of the table is a cushioned couch-like banquette and the other side is a hard wooden chair, offer your guest the cushy banquette.)
If you are the guest, wait until your host tells you where to sit and remain standing by your seat until your host takes his/her seat.
Come to Career Services in Sanford Hall to sign up for the fair! Free bus transportation provided.
"What do I do with my other hand?" College and graduate students and people in business often ask me that in a dining tutorial. If you are having soup, what happens to that hand not holding the spoon?
You may put the other hand in your lap or rest your wrist or even your forearm on the edge of the table.
What about elbows? If you grew up being told, "Keep your elbows off the table," there is an exception to that rule. (Sorry, Grandmas!)
When you are between courses and there is no food on the table, you may put your elbows on the table. Usually, you do that in those big banquet meals where there is a lot of background noise in the room and you lean forward on your elbows so you can converse with a person on the other side of the round 8-top or 10-top table.
You may not put your elbow on the table if the purpose is to prop up your tired head.

A group interview for a large financial firm was held at a posh restaurant. One of the interviewers handed the wine list to a candidate and said, "Order for the table."
This test has caused gastrointestinal turmoil for countless job candidates, but the rules to acing it are simple:
1) Select a wine that is moderately priced. Do not pick the cheapest (which shows you might not have good taste) or the most expensive (which shows you might run up the expense account.)
2) Do not spout off about your wine expertise. This shows you are pretentious and trying to one-up others: an unpleasant character flaw in a co-worker or new report.
3) Do not shake it, if you can fake it. If you do not know the first thing about wine, present the wine list to the wine steward, discreetly point to a price point and say, "I would like something from this area." The rest of the table need not know if you are referring to the Rhone Valley in France… or $42. Most wine stewards recognize this as code for, "I don't know beans about wine, so please pick out something from this price point that will make me look good."
If you are not a consumer of alcohol, it is perfectly acceptable to say, "I don't drink alcohol, so I must pass this on to someone more qualified," then hand the wine list to the person next to you or back to the interviewer. No further explanation is required.
You do not have to be interviewing for a large financial firm to be put in this situation — there are a number of occasions in business dining where it might come up. Stick to these rules and you will be fine.
Tip #1: Lemon is lovely in your iced, hot tea or other beverage. Lemon slices are garnishes — they are there to look pretty. Lemon wedges are to be squeezed. To keep a lemon wedge from squirting the person next to you, cup one hand over it while you squeeze, or poke it with the tines of your fork before you squeeze it.
Tip #2: Don't be intimidated by a table full of silverware or flatware. Start with the utensils on the outside and work your way in towards the plate with each course. Your dessert fork and/or spoon will be above your dinner plate or served on the plate with the dessert.
There are three styles of serving a meal:
1) Butler Style: food is portioned out for you and served, often in a pretty presentation (butler not required)
2) Buffet Style: food in set out on another table and you serve yourself, then return to your table
3) Banquet Style: platters or bowls of food are passed around the table and you serve yourself
One of the great ironies, is when you go to a large banquet, they usually serving "Butler Style," not "Banquet Style."
When should you begin eating?
1) At a banquet or any dining situation where you are sitting at a table with eight or fewer people, begin when everyone at your table has been served. (It is not necessary to wait for all 200 people in the banquet hall to be served.) If there are nine or more people at the table, wait until at least a few people have been served to begin.
2) In an interview meal or dinner party, follow your host's lead and begin eating when your host begins.
3) With a buffet, you may begin eating as soon as you are seated, but it is polite to wait until at least a few people have joined you. You never want to look like you are half-starved at a business meal.
No matter what style, remember to sit up straight and bring the food up to you.
If you are offered a job and you accept, follow up a verbal agreement with a letter of acceptance that shows your enthusiasm. If you decide not to take an offer, send a letter of regret.

Gone from Miami for six months, Vontae Davis continues to cause headaches for at least one former teammate.
Davis, the occasionally troubled former Dolphins cornerback, might or might not have inadvertently outed his friend and pending Miami free agent corner Sean Smith on Wednesday for participating in an NFL no-no: illegal tampering.
Smith and his agent, David Canter, are not allowed to talk contracts with any team other than the Dolphins before March 9.
But Wednesday afternoon, Davis might have given voice to the leagues great unspoken secret (i.e., tampering is rampant).
In the 1 p.m. hour, Davis tweeted: I seen my dude Sean Smith last night he said he talking to KC him & [Brandon] Flowers will makes [sic] a good Duo.
With that, he set off a digital feeding frenzy.
In the next two hours, Smith and Canter issued denials, and Davis the former first-round pick who was traded from the Dolphins to the Colts last August claimed his Twitter account was hacked.
Ive never talked to any other team besides the Miami Dolphins, Smith wrote. Yes I talked to Vontae and I told him Al Harris [our former coach] got the job up in KC and that I talked to him a few days ago to tell him congrats. Thats it!
Smith continued: Now why he interpreted that as talking to KC idk [I dont know] but there is NOTHING going on! This is ridiculous.
Said Canter: [My] clients havent ever spoken to teams prior to free agency, so his statement isnt true.
The Dolphins, the Chiefs and the NFL declined comment on the matter.
In the past, the league has stripped draft picks from teams guilty of tampering, but its relatively rare.
The NFL investigates allegations of tampering, regardless of whether the offended team files a complaint or not.
Ted Crews, a Kansas City spokesman, said as of Wednesday afternoon the team had not been contacted by the league.
Davis and Smith have been friends since 2009, when they broke into the league as two of the Dolphins top three draft picks. Maturity has long been a problem for Davis, who once showed up to practice hung over and later infamously begged general manager Jeff Ireland to let him call his grandmother upon learning he had been traded.
Smith has been a starter for most of his four years in the league and, while he had an up-and-down season in 2012, he is one of the top free agents at his position. Smith hopes to get a multiyear contract in the neighborhood of $8 million annually a price higher than the Dolphins are likely to pay.
The club is not expected to use the franchise tag on Smith either, and the belief is that he will sign elsewhere shortly after the free agency window formally opens March 12.
This means that Smiths actions will be under scrutiny for the next two weeks, making Davis remarks all the more damaging.
When word of what Davis said began to spread, he followed his first tweet by saying: My Twitter was Hack [sic] I did not see Sean Smith last night!! WOW hackers do any & Everything!
Later, Smith was asked how to explain Davis explanation.
Lol He panicked, tried to help, Smith wrote. Not the best idea but I appreciate it.

While not visiting U.S. campuses, Kristen works as an admissions counselor, processing applications and advising study abroad students.
- View an example of a Study Abroad Lithuania Newsletter
Course Content
LCC offers majors in Business, English, Psychology and Theology and minors in Sociology, and Conflict Studies. You will find a variety of classes in those subjects.
