The 2011 NFL schedule will be released tonight in a special live broadcast on the NFL Network, as all 32 teams will find out when they play each of their 16 regular-season games.
But the matchups themselves have already been determined. Once the 2010 regular season ended, the NFL's semi-complicated system of where teams finished in the division and other factors kicked in, and the opponents were determined.
In addition to six division games for every team, there are 10 non-division games. Some franchises are going to have an easy road of it; others, not so much.
So before the dates and times are put into place tonight, let's take a look at each team and what its best non-division matchup is.

There's a calmness radiating from Dave Rogers.
Past vociferousness is tamed for the longtime Martinsburg coach at courtside. Rogers is a bit more patient with disagreeable calls by the officials and iffy plays by his athletes. He drags out a small stool so he can sit in front of his players to talk during timeouts.
There's a different demeanor.

High school basketball
While varied, Rogers is appreciative as he has ever been of still being able to do what he's done for most of his adult life - coach basketball.
At 61, it all almost ended for Rogers.
Not just the coaching, but his role as the principal at Martinsburg South Middle School, his place as husband to Sherry, his duty as father to Brett.

Martinsburg coach?Dave Rogers gives directions to his team during the?Bulldogs' win over Washington Friday.
He's fortunate to still be here.
Rogers suffered from a pulmonary embolism that put him in the Intensive Care Unit of City Hospital for 11 days at the start of preseason practice.
Some aren't as fortunate as the longtime basketball coach.
A collection of doctors told Rogers "you're very, very lucky," he said.
Rogers knows it, too.
"It seems like I've been given that second opportunity," Rogers said. "The good Lord gave me more time. He figured it was not my time to go.
"He's given me an opportunity to continue on, and I'm thankful for that."
Yet, Rogers carries on, not changing what he does, just how he does it.
"I still get tired and have to sit down during practice," Rogers said.
He's enjoying his new lease on life - and as a coach-even if he has to be a bit more sedate about it all.
"You gotta be careful," Rogers said. "I'm still in a careful stage. It's going to take six months or more when these things are cleared."
He's taking blood-thinning medication and must have his blood drawn and tested each week. He bruises easily, he pointed out and then showed a discolored arm from a bump he doesn't even remember. Rogers has to watch getting cut.
It all began for Rogers when he attended a practice at West Virginia University. Climbing some sets of stairs at the university's basketball facility, he struggled to breathe. It was sudden and nothing he had ever experienced.
Being a man, though, and possessing that male trait of invincibly, Rogers shrugged off his symptoms.
He did give in slightly by having junior varsity coach Richard Moore drive the van back to the Martinsburg.
"As long as I was sitting in the van, I was fine," Rogers said.
However, there was a stop at the Pilot gas station at Exit 22 on Interstate 68 in Maryland that frequent travelers between here and Morgantown know sells the inexpensive gasoline.
"I had a normal walk inside, and then I couldn't breathe again," Rogers said.
He shuffled slowly back to the van and, again, felt fine as he sat for the rest of the ride home.
Rogers' wife took his blood pressure the next day, and it was fine.
"I got up the next morning, and I couldn't breathe," Rogers said. "I can't breathe; you gotta take me to the hospital."
Going right to the ICU from the emergency room, there he spent his next 11 days. He emailed and met with administrative staff members at South in order to keep the school operating orderly. He emailed and met with Bruce Fowler, one of his assistants, to discuss basketball.
He took calls and emails from assorted others who discovered his sickness and wanted to send their regards.
"I appreciate the thoughtfulness of all the people," Rogers said.
He stayed busy despite everything, always with his eye on coaching.
"I was released on a Tuesday, and I went to practice," Rogers said. "I sat on a chair."
The fact that he told doctors about a genetic defect in his family that causes blood clots in the lungs helped doctors diagnose what ailed him pretty quickly upon his arrival at the hospital.
All of the sudden, though, Rogers wasn't himself.
"When you get sick and hurt, you act like a big baby," Rogers said of the macho facade.
Such experiences deliver new perspectives to people.
He didn't entertain any thoughts of taking a respite from coaching for part of the season or the whole season. The fact that he has a talented team very capable of winning a state championship had nothing to do with staying on the bench. He simply enjoys coaching.
"The doctors told me, 'Do what you feel like you can do, just don't overdo it,'" Rogers said. "When you have a job to do, you do it, but not at the expense of your health."
Deep down, Rogers is really counting his blessings.
While there are winners and losers on the scoreboard during games, coaching this season for Rogers is his biggest victory.
"You don't understand how precious life is until you get to a point where you almost didn't make it," Rogers said.

Kate Celebrates Her 31st Birthday 'Privately'
Pregnant Kate, 31 on Wednesday, and entering her second trimester, is said to be keeping a low profile and spending her special day "privately," according to her office.
Having spent the recent New Year's holiday apart, Kate has since been reunited with husband William in time to spend the day with him.
Some reports suggest they are at their rented home in North Wales – a perfect secluded place for a quiet walk in the winter sunshine and fresh air with their cocker spaniel Lupo.
This time next year, she will have another family member to help her celebrate her special day.
Says royals author Judy Wade, "She has already taken the world by storm and now will cap it all by giving the Monarchy an heir, which is the culmination of their dreams."

Several Summerville players helped the Diamond Devils Blue team have a strong showing at a national tournament.
The Diamond Devils Blue Team finished 6-2 at the 15U World Wood Bat National Championship in Marietta, Ga. The Diamond Devils won their pool with a 6-1 record and finished as one of the final 24 teams playing. The tournament began with 196 teams and was played over eight days (June 21-28).
"I am really proud of the way our kids competed in Atlanta over the past week," Devils coach Banks Faulkner said. "They showed they are capable of competing with any team in the country. They have a lot to be proud of. Probably the most impressive thing about this week was the fact that so many different players contributed."
The Diamond Devils opened the tournament with an 8-0 win over Valley Forge. Sawyer Bridges (Summerville) struck out eight batters over five innings of work, allowing only one hit to lead the Diamond Devils to victory. Patrick Frick (JL Mann), Blake Brady (Christ Church) and Jeff Gottesman (Wando) each had two RBIs to pace the offense.
In the second game the Devils earned a 6-5 win over the Doubleday Yankees.
The Devils rallied from an early 4-0 hole to win a thriller and move to 2-0 in Pool E play. Tyler Ackard (Wando, 3 hits) and Jack Bahen (Summerville, 2 hits) lead an 11-hit attack. Cameron Almond (Summerville) earned the win in relief, striking out four over two and 1/3 innings.
The Kentucky Baseball Club then handed the Devils a 2-1 loss. Jeff Gottesman allowed only two runs and threw well but the offense was unable to generate much against a tough pitcher. AJ Sessions (Porter Gaud, 1-2, 2 SB) led the Devils' offense.
The Devils bounced back to earn a 6-2 win over the New England Roughnecks. Jacob Hennessy (Boiling Springs) got the Devils back into the win column, throwing five strong innings. He allowed just one hit and had six strikeouts. Seven different players all had a hit in the victory. Peter Brown (Wando) had two RBIs.
In Game 5 the Devils earned a 3-2 win over the Banditos of Austin. Sessions was the hero in this one as his walk-off bases loaded drag bunt plated Bridges with two outs in the bottom of the seventh. Bo Gobin (Summerville) picked up the victory in relief of Kaden Hack (Wando).
The Devils then earned a 4-0 win over Dirtbags Gold. Bridges (9 k's, 5 1/3 IP) and Tyler Ackard combined on a shutout as four second-inning runs held up and the Devils moved into sole possession of first place in Pool E. BJ Bush (White Knoll) drove in two runs on a squeeze play in the second inning.
The next game was a 14-2 route with the Devils coming out on top. The offense erupted early and scored often to help the Devils win Pool E and advance to the round of 24. The Devils scored five runs in the second and never looked back. The Devils stole nine bases in this game. Wilson Beattie (Summerville) allowed one hit over four innings to earn the win.
The Devils magical run came to an end in the Round of 24 as the Dallas Patriots eliminated the Devils with a 5-1 victory. The Patriots broke a scoreless game with a single run in the fifth and broke the game open in the sixth. The Devils were held to a tournament-low two hits in this contest, scoring their lone run in the seventh.
"We won in a variety of ways," Faulkner said. "Our pitching staff was fantastic the entire week. Jason Cochcroft, our pitching coach, does a wonderful job with those guys and did a good job calling pitches."

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. - Leftover Salmon's 2012 comeback was not just a reunion. The influential band, which melded bluegrass and jam, is plotting its second album in as many years and is on a two-month tour across the West with a show in the Crystal Bay Casino's Crown Room on Presidents Day, Monday, Feb. 18.Founded in 1989, the Boulder, Colo., band ended an eight-year break from touring last spring when it released the album, "Aquatic Hitchhiker." It also released a documentary, "Salmonlandia," and appeared on "After the Catch" on Discovery Channel. The band is Drew Emmitt, Vince Herman, Andy Thorn, Greg Garrison and Jose Martinez. Before going out on tour, Emmitt spoke with Lake Tahoe Action's Tim Parsons.Q: What does Leftover Salmon have in store for the President's Day show on a Monday night at Crystal Bay?A: We are still playing some new songs from "Aquatic Hitchhiker" and we've got some other new songs and we are gearing up to make another record in March. Q: So you have some new songs ready to work out?A: Yes. We are getting the creative juices going again and getting ready to do some recording. We are the sort of band that gets down to the wire with our songs then kind of bust them out in the studio and they come to life there. That's definitely how the last record came about. We're were kind of under the gun and that's how we operate best, it seems like.Q: After a reunion after a long hiatus, a band will make one album and that will be it. But a second album from Leftover Salmon makes it feel like the band is back for good.A: After we came back from our break we were just doing some one-offs and festivals and we started gearing up for touring again and we felt it was time to not just be a reunion band but get back on the stick. And when we hired our new banjo player, Andy Thorn, it was really feeling like a band again. Our manager was really instrumental in pushing us to do the record. It was time to show the world that we were a band again and the best way to do that is to make a record and it's also the best way to light a fire under the band creatively. We're going to keep it going.Q: Tell me if I have my history correct. After Jerry Garcia died, Leftover Salmon was among the vanguard of jam bands to fill the void.A: We started touring a couple years after Phish started touring and Widespread Panic and that was pretty much it for a while. A couple of others were Shockra and Little Women. This was before the myriad jam bands started popping up everywhere, so I guess in a way we were part of that first wave of those bands getting on the road without the label support or getting the radio play or hits but just getting out and touring and playing shows.Q: Did you always have drums?A: Vince had the Salmonheads and I had Lefthand String Band. Those bands didn't have drums and so when we formed Leftover Salmon we wanted to have a band that had a little more firepower and would do better in clubs and theater situation so that's when it got a little more electric.Q: Leftover Salmon was the house band for "After the Catch," which was after the television program "The Deadliest Catch." What was that about?A: They were doing "After the Catch" shows in Breckenridge and they went looking for a band that would represent Colorado and they found us. They saw we had been around for a long time and I think they liked our name. It seemed to fit what they were doing and they liked our music. I have been a fan of 'The Deadliest Catch" for a long time, so I was really excited. It's just amazing it came together. It was a really good time and something people saw all over the world. I think it gave the band some exposure that it really hadn't had before.Q: There has been a rise in popularity of organic and bluegrass music. Is that a response to the rise of techno music?A: There's never going to be a substitute for real organic music. People are always going to want to hear instruments. Electronica has its place and people enjoy it and it's a cool thing but I don't think it's ever going to overtake actual people playing instruments and singing. As society becomes more mechanized and technology becomes more and more intense, I think people also really need the roots of what life is all about which is real human beings making music and creating art. It seems like the more technology advances, I think the more people yearn for that because life can't just be about technology.

When a 17-year-old defendant denied throwing away drugs in view of police, Buffalo City Judge James A. McLeod offered an acerbic reply.
"Don't play me like I'm stupid. You're not bright enough to outsmart me," McLeod said.
And then the court appearance turned ugly, as the defendant used foul language, laced with racial slurs, as he fumed at the 13-year veteran judge.
The judge replied in kind, and that has prompted the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct to admonish McLeod for his discourteous conduct.
What's more, while making his intemperate remarks, McLeod "ignored fundamental due process by convicting the defendant without a plea or allocution."
The commission can admonish, censure or remove a judge for misconduct. Censure is a public reprimand, and an admonition is a milder public reprimand or warning.
After being sentenced to 15 days in jail for disorderly conduct, the defendant unleashed a verbal tirade, using vulgar words 11 times in a 33-word response to the judge.
When the defendant made a vulgar reference to his private parts at the Feb. 16, 2011, hearing, the judge replied, "Why don't you pull it out for me."
"Probably need a magnifying glass, too," the judge said, when the defendant said he would were he not in handcuffs.
"Even in the face of provocative, disrespectful comments by a litigant, a judge is required to be an exemplar of decorum and dignity in the courtroom and not allow the proceedings to devolve into an undignified exchange of taunts, insults and obscenities," the commission said in its finding.
The commission noted that McLeod's improper comments were limited to a single occasion. McLeod has not been previously disciplined for judicial misconduct in his 13 years as a City Court judge.
Neither McLeod nor his attorney, Michael M. Mohun, could be reached to comment Wednesday.
The commission said McLeod has acknowledged failing to act in a proper manner. And the judge has accepted full responsibility, the commission said, for failing to maintain a high standard of conduct when he spoke to the defendant in the undignified and discourteous way.
"Even when baited by a disrespectful and profane party, a judge must remain patient, dignified and courteous, refrain from and not escalate the disrespect and profanity directed toward the court and maintain … the decorum of the courtroom," the commission said.
McLeod stipulated and agreed to the facts of the case in the commission's finding, which it recently made public.
The defendant appeared before the judge in two cases.
In one case, the defendant was charged with harassment and trespassing stemming from a Feb. 4, 2011, incident.
The judge characterized the harassment charge as "thuggery." McLeod asked him if he knew what that meant. The defendant said he did not.
"It means being a bully, trying to impress people," the judge said. "That's not good, especially when they say you can't follow through on any of those wolf cries. If they were to gang up on you, you would be the first one yelling mama as you're running home."
As for the trespassing charge, McLeod asked the defendant, "What's going on with you over there, Mr. Tough Guy?' "
Without allowing the defendant to enter a plea, the judge convicted him of trespass and sentenced him to 75 hours of community service.
In the other case, the defendant faced two misdemeanors: a drug possession charge and obstructing governmental administration.
Without allowing him to plead guilty, the judge convicted him of disorderly conduct and sentenced him to 15 days in jail. That's when the vulgar exchange occurred.
While continuing to use improper language, McLeod agreed with defense attorney Daniel E. Barry Jr. to recuse himself from the case. The judge then vacated the conviction, set a trial date, and set bail or allowed release under supervision. A week later, the Probation Department approved release under supervision.

Former Greeley Transitional house resident Tammy Abeyta found a roof over her head and the strength to persevere thanks to the strong bonds she developed with house staff.
It's been months since Abeyta left the Greeley Transitional House and Abeyta remains close with case manager Maria Hernandez and director Jodi Hartmann.
It's this close bond that Abeyta said makes her so grateful she had the courage to ask for help after rough times left her with nowhere to go.
The Greeley Transitional House receives some of its funding from the Northern Colorado Empty Stocking Fund, a charity organization that runs a holiday campaign to raise money to help nonprofit organizations continue their work.
The initiative behind the program is to help residents find housing and continue to be successful after they are on their own.
Abeyta had been living in Denver when her boyfriend died, leaving her and her 5-year-old granddaughter, Marijayne, with nowhere to go. With Abeyta's epilepsy, it was difficult to find a supporting job, let alone transportation. A friend recommended she try applying to the Greeley Transitional House. Abeyta submitted an application and the response was instant. Abeyta and Marijayne moved in the next day. Although the house held a rigorous schedule and house rules, Abeyta was grateful and said she didn't take a single day for granted.
"We had to be up and out of the house by 9 a.m. searching for a job," Abeyta said. "When we came home we had to attend classes and complete household chores."
Chores included cleaning and keeping the house maintained. The classes taught residents basic nutrition, finance and childcare tips.
After six months at the Greeley Transitional House, Abeyta had gone from what she refers to as an emotional basket case to someone ready and excited to live on her own. Abeyta said she will never forget when she moved into a place all her own. It was a modestly sized apartment, but it was all hers. Although she had moved out of the Greeley Transitional House, the help she received from the program didn't stop there.
"The Greeley Transitional House supplied me with furniture, dishes and other necessities," Abeyta said.
For Abeyta, who still participates in the Greeley Transitional House's follow-up program, the help and consultation continues.
When Abeyta and her granddaughter see Hartman or Hernandez in the grocery store, the delight is instantaneous, Abeyta said. Marijayne is so excited to see the women she refers to as her "aunties."
Looking forward, Abeyta says she wants to focus on the care of her granddaughter and keep volunteering while she continues applying for jobs.
"We feel that the follow-up program really assures stability in the lives of families in the Greeley Transitional House," Hernandez said. "Tammy has achieved so many things. We believe the rest is going to fall into place."
For her part, Abeyta credits the Greeley Transitional House with keeping her off the streets.
"I have nothing but good things to say about the Greeley Transitional House. I owe them everything," Abeyta said. "Without their help I would have been on the streets."

Usher has filed for divorce from wife Tameka Foster Raymond.
The R&B star filed the petition Friday in Superior Court in Atlanta, court records show. The couple, who got married in August 2007, have two sons together, Usher Raymond V, 18 months, and Naviyd, 6 months.
Usher, 30, and his wife of nearly two years, 38, have been leading separate lives for months, sources tell PEOPLE. The singer has been away from home often recording his next record in Las Vegas, one source says. "He's done his best to keep Tameka away," says the source.
Another source told PEOPLE that Tameka has been focusing on keeping her family happy.
The night before Usher filed for divorce, his wife was spotted at a screening of Eddie Murphy's new movie, Imagine That in Atlanta with the couple's eldest son, and two of her sons from her first husband. Tameka, who was wearing a gray shirt, tight jeans and high heels, "was happy and smiling," says an onlooker.
The night his divorce papers were filed, Usher spent a low-key night at the Los Angeles club MyHouse. He arrived late and came in through the back then was seated at a table where he spent time with a few friends chatting and drinking. The singer, who was smiling and talkative, seemed to be in a good, but mellow mood.
Calls to the singer's rep were not immediately returned.

5 Celebrities With Secretly Talented Siblings
Everyone has a little bit of celebrity worship in them. Even me, who is vocal to a fault about wanting to punch most of them in their respective necks. If there is an upside to that creepy stalkerish need to know everything about famous people, it's that sometimes if you dig long enough, you find that they've been hiding one of their insanely talented relatives in the secret well in their basement. For instance ...
#5. Steve Jobs' Sister Is an Award-Winning Author
Mario Tama/Getty Images News/Getty Images
The Celebrity:
Steve Jobs single-handedly invented the arrogant computer douche who wrecks any normal conversation about technology by turning it into a Mac vs. PC debate, defining himself by what brand of machine he uses to watch scat porn. And also Apple. He was also the subject of the greatest Epic Rap Battles of History ever produced:
The Talented Sibling:
Mona Simpson is Steve's sister, and she has a pretty impressive list of awards under her belt, including a Guggenheim Award, a Whiting Book Award, and a literature prize from the American Academy for Arts and Letters.
On top of that, she's an English professor at UCLA, fighting the good fight against criminally stupid Internet word mangling. On top of even that, she's also a professor of literature and language at Bard College. Holy shit. When does she even have time to sit back and admire her boobs? I ... assume that's what women do in their spare time? I don't talk to many women; that's just what I'd do if I were one.
Via Usc.edu
Here she is without her trademark katana. Women always carry swords, right?
In 1986, Simpson wrote an award-winning book titled Anywhere But Here, which was eventually turned into a movie starring Natalie Portman and Susan Sarandon. Here's the crazy part: She didn't even know her brother was Steve Jobs until she was 25 years old. By that point, she had worked her way up from abject poverty to middle class on her own, busting her ass to make it in the writing world, which I can tell you from personal experience is a feat in and of itself.
I would suggest waiting until you're done with this article before you do it, but if you click that last link, you'll see why she's special. It's an emotional piece -- a eulogy for her brother, in fact. I just don't want you all teary eyed while I'm trying to make juvenile jokes about turds or balls. I have my own living to make, and as wonderful a woman as she is, I don't want Mona Simpson ruining my middle school humor.

Look at her -- you know she's just dying to. She hates me, I can feel it.
#4. James Cameron's Brother Is a Genius Engineer
Peter Kramer/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
The Celebrity:
You know who James Cameron is. Terminator, Aliens, Titanic, explosions and asses. He's also apparently a huge, childish dick who loses his temper at the drop of a hat and has been known to confiscate cellphones when they ring on his set, grab a nail gun, and tack those fuckers to the wall.
Actually, now that I think about it, I kind of want to see that.
Ethan Miller/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
"I will shove that so hard into your ass that when you pull it out, it will sound like you just opened a bottle of champagne."
The Talented Sibling:
Mike Cameron is James' younger brother, and he happens to be crazy smart. How smart? Well, for one, he's an aerospace engineer. That alone is enough to net him a spot on this list, but it goes much further than that. And if I wrote for a newspaper, they would fire me in a frenzied rage for not using the word "deeper" instead of "further," because newspapers are stupid.
The crazy, mind-blowing accomplishment by Mike sounds unimpressive at first. He invented a way to film professionally while extremely deep underwater -- 12,600 feet, to be precise. Big deal, right? We've seen plenty of documentaries that explore the ocean floor. National Geographic explores deep water all the time like it ain't shit. They've definitely got him beat in that department ... except for the part where Mike's technology is so far advanced from anything we've ever seen, Jet Propulsion Laboratory wants to use it to explore Europa, a moon of Jupiter thought to have the best chance of supporting oceanic extraterrestrial life.
Via Wikipedia
And if they thaw it out, maybe -- just maybe -- Ewoks.
So what did he do that's so amazing? First, he eliminated the need for thousands of pounds' worth of power cables that fuck up most deep water expeditions, replacing it with a single fiber optic strand smaller than a human hair. Then, he designed a camera robot that is able to squeeze through openings smaller than 2 feet. According to that Wired article above, normal deep sea rovers are six times that size. Then Mike modified the lighting system so it's not filming a bunch of stirred-up sediment and floating fish turds, tweaked the communications problems that plague extreme ocean exploration, and boom: We now have a robotic film crew that is capable of exploring the 30-mile-deep saline oceans of Europa.
I think it's time to live in a world where we refer to James as "Mike Cameron's brother."
Via Wired.com
Then again, that might be the reason he is the way he is.
#3. Leslie Nielsen's Brother Was a Highly Successful Politician
Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty
The Celebrity:
If I have to explain who Leslie Nielsen is, you need to stop what you're doing right now and go watch the Airplane and Naked Gun movies, and the Police Squad! TV show. Call in a sick day to work or school, explaining that you just discovered his body of work. They'll understand. In fact, the only punishment you might receive would be a dock in pay or grades for not having done it sooner. Here's a short compilation of clips from various movies to get you started:
The Talented Sibling:
Erik Nielsen was Leslie's older brother, and he served in the Canadian Parliament for 30 straight years, uninterrupted. He was a staunch, hardass conservative who was often called "Velcro lips" because of his habit of holding back information from his colleagues and the public. Which in itself is pretty damn funny, since his brother was a certifiable comedy genius who didn't seem to hold anything back at all (including busting ass on morning talk shows).
But Erik wasn't just a face in the political crowd. During that big, mean fucker's time, he served as opposition house leader, leader of the opposition (which is evidently ... different?), deputy prime minister, president of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, and minister of national defense. In reading down the list of positions he's held, I'm starting to think that he looked around the room on his first day in office and said, "I can't make up my mind which one I like the most. I think I'll just try them all. Leslie, come over here and fart in this dickhead's face."
Via Harpercrusade
"I'll just stand here and look disappointed."
Eventually, his hardass nature and his refusal to answer questions about important things like politicians fucking the government and its people got his ass flat-out fired. Of course, a dude like that doesn't just fade away into retirement. He took his lumps like a man and settled down with a modest job as chairman of the National Transportation Agency and eventually president of Solar Engineering, Hawaii Inc. and Solar Electric Engineering Distributors of Canada.

COLUMBIA — When college football recruits sign their letters of intent on Wednesday, South Carolina will secure probably its best group of offensive linemen in coach Steve Spurrier's nine recruiting classes.
South Carolina's offensive line commitments for the Class of 2013. All rankings from Rivals.com.Na'Ty Rodgers (6-5, 278) – No. 15 tackle, No. 6 in Maryland, No. 181 nationally *D.J. Park (6-6, 335) – No. 19 tackle, No. 4 in South Carolina, No. 220 nationally Bryce King (6-4, 300) – No. 3 center, No. 5 in South Carolina Alan Knott (6-5, 275) – No. 53 tackle, No. 65 in Georgia J.P. Vonashek (6-6, 255) – No. 54 tackle, No. 61 in Georgia *Enrolled in January and will participate in spring practices.
But will they become productive players? Regardless of how positive a coach spins at his press conference, that is the unanswerable question on every National Signing Day. Recruiting is an inexact science, and perhaps no position is tougher to evaluate than offensive line.
It is obviously critical for any offense that wants to succeed, especially in the Southeastern Conference, where fearsome defensive lines are the norm.
Under Spurrier, USC has had uneven results in offensive line recruiting. Partly because of this, the Gamecocks' offense has sputtered at times. While they finished 11-2 in 2011 and 2012, they ranked 73rd and 84th nationally in yards per game. They allowed 30 sacks in 2011 and 38 last season, No. 85 and 110 nationally.
There are mitigating factors. South Carolina's best offensive player, running back Marcus Lattimore, missed 10 combined games the past two seasons because of knee injuries. And it is shortsighted to blame an offensive line for every sack allowed.
Still, Spurrier made no secret last season about his frustration with his line's inconsistent performances, though the group improved later in the year.
Spurrier has two highly rated linemen in this class — Maryland's Na'Ty Rodgers and Dillon High's D.J. Park, who are rated the No. 15 and 19 tackles by Rivals.com, and the No. 181 and 220 overall recruits. Bryce King, Park's high school teammate, is rated the No. 3 center.
Two of USC's recent top line recruits have worked out reasonably well so far. Goose Creek's Brandon Shell started as a redshirt freshman right tackle last season. He was the No. 4 tackle and No. 66 overall recruit in 2011. A.J. Cann last year was a third-year sophomore in his second season starting at left guard, after being the No. 2 center and No. 182 overall recruit in 2010.
But for every Shell and Cann, there are players like Quintin Richardson, the No. 8 tackle in 2007, who never significantly contributed in three seasons and transferred to lower-division Hampton. Or Tramell Williams, the No. 9 center in 2010, who redshirted that year, then transferred. Or Kevin Young, the No. 20 tackle in 2006, plagued by injuries at USC and never a factor.
USC isn't alone. Just look at Rivals' offensive tackle rankings in 2007. The top three are Josh Oglesby (Wisconsin), Ryan Miller (Colorado) and Matt Romine (Notre Dame). Ever heard of them? Probably not. They had uneventful college careers, for various reasons.
But at No. 6 is Bryan Bulaga (Iowa), a first-round pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2010 — a testament to the riches available if you prove you can play this valuable position as well as everybody thought you could when you were 18 years old.
Size, smarts not guaranteed
That is a substantial "if" for several reasons. Certainly, the high potential for injuries on the line, where collisions are the closest and most frequent, makes it difficult to project long-term success out of high school. There are other factors, such as physical growth, mental acumen and the willingness to embrace a thankless existence of physical punishment.
"Offensive linemen are the hardest guys, I think, to evaluate," said Goose Creek coach Chuck Reedy, a former longtime college assistant coach, including 1978-89 at Clemson. "There are a lot of intangibles that make them more difficult to evaluate than other positions."
Before college assistants worry about whether a kid is smart enough to play offensive line in the SEC, they must consider one thing above all else — size. Few linemen emerge from high school large enough, which is why most redshirt. College coaches have to look at a kid and determine whether he can pack on 30 pounds, keep it on during the season and still move nimbly.
"It's the hardest position to figure because you can't really tell what their developmental process is," said Dillon coach Jackie Hayes. "You'll see a lot of big kids that play, but their coordination is not where it needs to be. Sometimes, you go out on a limb, and hopefully you can develop that."
Shell, who is 6-6, now weighs 330 pounds. In the fall of 2010, as a high school senior, he was 290. Reedy said Shell's frame indicated he could add weight. But high school tackles who are 6-4 and 270 pounds "are the ones that sometimes you have a hard time projecting," Reedy said.
Everyone knows you need more than size to play college offensive line. High schools use about three to four blocking schemes, half as many as colleges, said Hayes. Defensive fronts are more complex and disguised in college, so "you've got to be able to instinctively react to what you're seeing," Reedy said.
College coaches usually gauge a recruit's intelligence by asking about his grades. But Goose Creek and other high schools around the state are now using a computer program that could help recruiters better determine a kid's commitment to learning football. It's called Hudl, and it lets players access their team's film database from home. Coaches can see when players log in, so they know who is putting in extra work.
Telltale sign of potential?
Even if a recruiter knows a lineman is big and watches film, analyzing his games can be difficult. Many high schools, like Goose Creek, still use run-focused offenses that require little pass blocking. The spread offense is becoming more popular at places like Dillon, but because it uses quick passes, a tackle doesn't have to hold off a defensive end for long. And of an elite lineman's hours of game action, many are against defensive linemen who are much lighter.
"You don't get to see them display their skills the way you do skill (position) guys," Reedy said. "A skill player, you're going to see their speed. You're going to see them catch the ball. If it's a defensive guy, you're going to see how loose their hips are, how they backpedal. A quarterback, you can see him throw. A lot of times, the level of competition doesn't factor in with those (skill) guys because the skills they have are the skills they have."
Mike Farrell, Rivals' national recruiting analyst, believes there is one trait that shows up on an offensive lineman's game film, regardless of the system or opponent. And it is a must-have in college — aggression. For that reason, Farrell doesn't find offensive linemen as difficult to analyze as cornerbacks, because they never get thrown at, and quarterbacks, because so much of that position is mental.
Farrell still remembers the film of guard Andre Smith, who went to Alabama and was the sixth overall pick in 2009. Smith had a sloppy-looking body, but Rivals rated him the No. 2 overall recruit in 2006 largely because of what Farrell noticed about Smith's attitude.
"This kid was blocking kids into the first row," Farrell said. "And you're like, 'Oh, my gosh, this kid's an animal. He's going to be super successful. He just wants to put you in the bleachers.' That's the only way you can tell if a kid has it or doesn't: How does he respond to getting popped in the face?
"I don't care who you're playing against. As long as you put him on his butt every play, that shows me something. I think physicality comes out on film pretty quickly, and I think it's the most important factor by far, especially with these freaks on the defensive line. You better be willing to hit that guy as hard as you can."
For that reason, Farrell is hopeful about Rodgers, USC's top-rated tackle for 2013. Yes, Rodgers tends to hold defensive ends, a flaw USC's coaches can fix, Farrell said. But he will come to Columbia with something that is harder to teach, something Farrell saw at a camp when Rodgers was knocked down and had his lip bloodied, only to come back and play angrier than before.
"He's a kid they don't really have to worry about, the first time he gets hit, going home and crying," Farrell said.

What would happen if you let a bunch of engineers run wild in a biology lab? Underneath the jury-rigged pipets, strewn papers, and linear algebra books, you might find a pack of synthetic biologists.
While synthetic biology is a diverse and complex field, one basic theme runs throughout: Synthetic biologists implement tools and ideas that make biological engineering more like other, more conventional forms of engineering.
Synthetic biology has attracted the attention of electrical engineers and programmers, whose minds recoil at the idea of components whose performance is variable and also difficult to swap into other systems. We are still far from the point when rational designs can go from drawing board to functional in a single fabrication and testing step.
A large portion of synthetic biology research is concerned with making tools. They apply complementary informatics, design, and genetic engineering approaches to the problem of genetic circuits.
The Act Ontology system being developed at UC-Berkeley changes the way we access and view gene functions, with a focus on interactions and circuits. It extends the usefulness of projects such as Gene Ontology (GO) to aggregate and distill the enormous volume of literature.
Also, databases such as the Parts Registry encourage cataloguing such data. Finding enough genetic parts there for a novel function, however, is still a long way away. Tools such as GenoCAD, ProMoT, and others allow user-friendly design of circuits, SynBioSS allows in silico chemical simulation of genetic circuits, and Clotho permits versatile data management.
The software projects are exciting because of what they would permit in the future; wet lab projects are exciting for what they allow now. Labs are working on not only the characterization of basic parts—promoters, repressors, activators, and so on—but also advanced components: bistable switches, scaffolds, and metabolic pathways.
Though this research may seem purely foundational, it is done with numerous industrial uses in mind—these are engineers we're talking about, after all. Protein scaffolding was demonstrated in optimizing the mevalonate pathway, which is three steps in the synthesis of artemisinin, an antimalarial drug.
Something closer to the clinic is the zinc-finger nuclease, an enzyme created by the fusion of zinc finger DNA-binding domains with an endonuclease's cleavage domain. The modularity of zinc fingers allows for predictable customization of the DNA that the nuclease recognizes and cuts, and there are kits for making the process easier.
Such nucleases form the basis for Sangamo's HIV treatment, SB-728-T. It consists of removing T cells and treating them with the nucleases to introduce a deletion in CCR5, creating the same sort of HIV resistance as seen in the patient who was cured through marrow transplants. Sangamo presented positive Phase I results last month and is working on a similar method to treat stem cells.
Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFN) have room for improvement, though; use of other modular DNA-binding proteins called TAL effectors suggests that TAL effector nucleases (TALEN) might be even easier to predict and engineer.
In any case, modular nucleases offer more precision in gene therapy than has previously been possible, reducing the risk of side effects (such as leukemia) and may lead to further applications and treatments. Gene therapy in situ is still considerably more difficult, so don't expect a ZFN or TALEN to repair BRCA genes—yet.
One project that showcases all the principles of synthetic biology is the tumor-killing bacterium. It requires modifications to the base genome, removing the immunogenic capsule and antigens from the bacterium; a sophisticated sensing, guidance, and activation logic system to direct the bacteria to tumors and activate them appropriately; and finally redundant safeguards to ensure the bacteria behave as predicted and dispose of the bacteria after their purpose is served. It is an engineering project at heart and demonstrates both design principles and new genetic parts.
Synthetic biology has the ability to enhance regulation and genetic failsafes. Every measure to prevent these activities makes for a more predictable (and safer) biological therapy. Eventually, it might be bacteria delivering gene repair packages, and the gene repairs might be as varied as treatments for phenylketonuria to cystic fibrosis. Considering all that's been done lately, a world where one can opt-out of genetic diseases doesn't seem so far away.

Teenage lifeguard makes national news
27 January 2014
Teenage lifeguard Lauryn Deverson has made national news after her quick-thinking to save a man's life were caught on CCTV.
Click here for more information on becoming a lifeguard.The 18-year old - who was 17 at the time of the incident - saw a 60-year old man struggling at Fulwood Leisure Centre in Preston and dived in to help him to the side of the pool.
"I was walking up and down and I saw him," Deverson told the Lancashire Evening Post.
"I wondered what he was doing at first so I kept a close eye on him, I noticed her was struggling and took action.
"He was flapping his arms and started to panic. I threw in the torpedo buoy but he couldn't reached it - then I just jumped in.
"The other person on the other side raised the emergency alarm and everybody got to the incident.
"It all happened so quickly, I was in shock afterwards. Instinct just took over."

Gene expression signatures define novel oncogenic pathways in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

|Human T cell leukemias can arise from oncogenes activated by specific chromosomal translocations involving the T cell receptor genes. Here we show that five different T cell oncogenes (HOX11, TAL1, LYL1, LMO1, and LMO2) are often aberrantly expressed in the absence of chromosomal abnormalities. Using oligonucleotide microarrays, we identified several gene expression signatures that were indicative of leukemic arrest at specific stages of normal thymocyte development: LYL1+ signature (pro-T), HOX11+ (early cortical thymocyte), and TAL1+ (late cortical thymocyte). Hierarchical clustering analysis of gene expression signatures grouped samples according to their shared oncogenic pathways and identified HOX11L2 activation as a novel event in T cell leukemogenesis. These findings have clinical importance, since HOX11 activation is significantly associated with a favorable prognosis, while expression of TAL1, LYL1, or, surprisingly, HOX11L2 confers a much worse response to treatment. Our results illustrate the power of gene expression profiles to elucidate transformation pathways relevant to human leukemia.

Woodstock Elementary School Interim Report
School Safety Project
Final Evaluation
SE 47th Avenue - Steele to Woodstock
Final Evaluation
SE 47th Avenue - Steele to Woodstock
The Traffic Calming Program (TCP) began a traffic calming project in the Spring of 1996 to address traffic problems identified along SE 47th Avenue, between Steele and Woodstock, as part of the Woodstock Elementary School Safety Project.
The goal of the project was to enhance street safety for younger pedestrians, and livability for local residents, by reducing the 85th percentile speed of vehicles using SE 47th Avenue closer to the legal maximum speed limit of 25 miles per hour (mph). Speed bumps are the best device for streets like SE 47th Avenue, which are classified as Local Service Streets, are not transit or primary fire response routes and have vehicle volumes between 400 and 1700 vehicles per day. Speed bumps have proven to be effective tools to reduce vehicle speed without impacting access. It is not an intended goal to reduce traffic volume on low-volume Local Service Streets.
SE 47th Avenue serves a single family residence neighborhood and is adjacent to Woodstock Park at its north end. Steele, to the north, and Woodstock, at SE 47th Avenue's south end, are both Neighborhood Collector streets. SE 47th Avenue is relatively flat and straight, with side walks on its west side and curbs on both sides. A portion of the daily traffic on SE 47th Avenue is believed to be cut-through traffic due to a commercial area on Woodstock.
Open House
All residents along SE 47th Avenue were invited to an open house September 19, 1997 to review and comment on the proposed speed bump installation. Twelve people attended the open house. Those who attended expressed approval for the proposed project. There is no petition or voting process for School Safety projects as they are a council mandated activity.
Five 14-foot speed bumps, at 275 to 400 foot spacing, were constructed along the 0.3 mile segment of SE 47th Avenue, Steele to Woodstock, on October 5, 1996 by the Bureau of Maintenance.
Vehicle Speeds
As the graph shows, vehicle speeds, previously concentrated between 23 and 25 mph, have been shifted into the range of 20 to 22 mph. The average 85th percentile vehicle speed before the project was 30.2 mph. Since bump construction the average 85th percentile speed is 22.9 mph and ranges from a low of 19 mph (near the bumps) to a high of 25 mph. Prior to installation of the speed bumps 35-57% of drivers exceeded the posted speed limit of 25 mph and 1-6% exceeded the limit by 10 mph or more. Since bump construction 1-12% of drivers exceed the posted speed limit and 0-0.9% exceed the limit by 10 mph or more.
Traffic Volume
Traffic volumes measured before bump construction averaged 750 vehicles per day (vpd) and varied from 600 to 900 vpd. After bump construction volumes average 530 vpd and range from 350 to 660 vpd. Simultaneously, traffic calming projects were in progress on SE 44th and SE 46th, streets parallel to SE 47th. Traffic volumes measured on SE 46th showed an increase since speed bumps were not yet constructed when the data for SE 47th was collected. SE 45th Avenue has also had a significant increase in traffic volume and will be closely monitored to determine if diversion has occurred.
Traffic Calming on SE 47th Avenue, Steele to Woodstock has successfully reduced the average 85th percentile speed closer to the posted speed, enhancing street safety and livability.

3rd ward councilman Drummond to seek Council president seat
January 30, 2013
SALEM — Third Ward City Councilman Rick Drummond announced this week he plans to seek the Republican nomination for President of Council, a position currently held by Mickey Cope Weaver....
Weaver would be my choice, she is involved in all aspects of council. she has shown she can do the job in a fair professional way. She is her own person andanswers to no one. Drummond on the other hand is only running because he was asked to do so by his republican chairman, in order to take votes away from Weaver or any democrat opponent. It is only a game for him to do the PARTY BIDDING!!! My choice is Weaver!!
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I agree completely! Shame on Mr. Drunmmond for not being his "own " man!Once again, we see the Republican chairman not being able to let local government alone if it does not suit his agenda.The only reason Mr. Drummond got in office was because no one ran against him.Mr chairman wants Micky out since he got rid of O'Leary and Wolford.I hear Apple may run.Good chioce. Weaver can take his place.Bad credibility move for you,Mr.Drummond
4 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The thing is, the Council Pres. doesn't have a say in council's buisiness unless there's a tie. The pres. is only there to preside over council and make the commitees. There's no way to lean the scale one way or another on the commitees. There's hardly any way to load the commitees to one party or another. Wouldn't that be too obvious?? We know Nestic wants to be the chairman of all the commitees. Maybe Johnson thinks he can get it that way if Drummond is Pres. Drummond can't keep his mouth shut to be the Pres. He always has to put his two cents in, and the Pres. can't do that. Unless he/she is going to vote. So are these folks really there to help the city? Or to work their own agenda??
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
if there promoting their own agenda, they are promoting what Johnson wants. O'Leary was bullied by Johnson, thatswhy she did not run again, she wanted what was right for the people not for Johnson..When she bucked him, hewrote her scathing e-mails, and ubfortunately she decided not to run..Drummond will be no better itwill be about The Republicans and not the citizens..
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Since Mr. Drummond got his seat on council be default since there was no one else running,why not run Nestic or Dickey for council president? At least they beat someone in an election and would at least be credible for such a position.Seems the Chairman just has to get rid of Micky Weaver who has done an outstanding job. Stay tuned!
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
L.M.A.O. Oh come on, don't stop now, you're all on a roll and the pace you are on...you will be in the comic section for sure! Skip to the end of this B.S. and inform us of your theory of how Johnson dupes so many voters into going to the polls and voting for his masterminded agenda! Door to door payoffs? Hypnotics? Maybe he is so powerful he pays off the Utility Department to put mind altering drugs into the water system...I know maybe he sends armed goon squads door to door threatening the voters with violence. Maybe he borrowed Obama's Acorn notes. I heard the Black panthers are looking for some work! Oh I know he is offering cellphones for a vote.
You know you three really are spooky.

Politics at it's best. Hey folks if you put a label on yourself that means you hold to a certain ideology. If you don't want to follow that ideology then you need to take your label off. When people vote for a republican or a democrat that is what they should get. Not some half baked version which is what we get from time to time at all levels of government. I think Mrs. Weaver, like Mr. Wolford did, is doing the right thing by taking off her republican label and considering running as an independent. There is no shame in not agreeing with someone, the shame is when you portray yourself as agreeing with their ideals and you don't.
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I don't know who may run for Pres of Council. At the time that Mr Drummond decided to run, no one was deck Lared and Mrs Weaver was saying she wouldn't run. I didn't want to run and Nestic is an Independent. Cushman was appointed. mr. drummond is a good choice, in my opinion. He is the only one in his whole ward willing and able to set up and do the job. And he is doing the job. He would be a great Pres. He is always prepared and courteous with others even if their opinion was opposing his. He has experience managing and is a very smart guy.

The pair signed an agreement spelling out their goals, including promises to try to avoid courtroom clashes and to keep their children's interests at the forefront, say the papers filed in San Francisco Superior Court.
"We will strive to be honest, cooperative and respectful as we work in this process to achieve the future well being of our families," says the agreement. "We commit ourselves to the collaborative law process and agree to seek a positive way to resolve our differences justly and equitably."
In a television interview, Williams underscored his desire to proceed in a civil manner.
"I'm lucky, you know, with someone like Marsha, and we have amazing kids and it's not a slash and burn," the comedian tells Ellen DeGeneres on a visit to her show Tuesday. "I think a lot of times divorce can be like circumcision with a weed whacker," he continues, "But the idea that it's going with love, I think, is important. And for me it's been ... a good thing."
Responded DeGeneres: "I'm happy that you're happy, and that's the way to do it."
Williams, 56, and Garces, 51, filed for divorce in March after 19 years of marriage citing irreconcilable differences. The couple have two children – Zelda, 18, and Cody, 16.
Recently, Zelda told PEOPLE, "I just want my parents to be happy."

Actually before I made a decision, I compared Apple with other cell phone companies, such as Nokia," he said through a translator. "And the conditions in those factories are worse than the ones of Apple."...Ironcially, Apple appears to be less concerned about factory conditions than its competitors, because of the company's unwillingness to talk with advocacy groups like China Labor Watch and Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehavior.

Join your guides Brady Gaster and Cory Fowler as they talk to the product teams in Redmond as well as the web community.
In this episode, Brady welcomes Yochay Kiriaty onto the show to introduce a great addition to the Windows Azure Web Sites platform—new support to Windows Azure Web Sites for the .NET Framework 4.5. This adds support for asynchronous ASP.NET, enhanced functionality resident in the Entity Framework 5 release (like support for spatial data), and other great features. Yochay also walks through a demonstration of load-testing Windows Azure Web Sites using WCAT, and differentiates the various hosting tiers—free, shared, and reserved. In the demo, you'll gain some insight into the heavy load your sites can achieve, and you'll be better informed about which tier you'll need to use based on the capacity needs for your site.
Oops, something didn't work.
Will this feature (.Net 4.5) be available before WP8 SDK? :)
when will be released. NET 4.5 on Azure Website?
Thanks very much for showing WCAT - that's the main reason I'm downloading this. (The other, like @thiago, is to try to glean some information about the release timeframe across Azure for .NET 4.5 support, such as on Azure Services. Would it be reasonable to say that we're looking at the winter wave for that release? That would be great for my startup! Especially the fully-integrated Windows Identity Foundation.)
Why making a video of something that isn't released yet?
Welcome back to Channel 9 Yochay!
This is great, but when will .NET 4.5 support be available for Azure Cloud Services (Web and Worker Roles)?
Hey guys - I just checked and my site is still not upgrade to .Net 4.5 - in the video you seem to hint the upgrades are underway and your site may have already been upgraded. I got the impression this would have been completed relatively quickly and the video was posted about 4 days ago so I guess I was expecting this stuff would be in the can at this point. Any idea how long the process should take?
Todd (and everyone else who asked) - Web Sites now supports 4.5, so you can dive in and start playing with async, EF spatial, and all other goodies now.
Good day.This is great.
Good stuff.This is great

The School for LiesIn David Ives's freewheeling rewrite of Moliere's The Misanthrope, a disillusioned curmudgeon named Frank resolves to tell the truth to everyone he meets, no matter how disconcerting or offensive they may find it. This being a comedy, however, Frank is diverted from his highminded path by his love for the beautiful Celimene, a bored aristocrat with an equally sharp tongue. The play's virtuosic use of language turns their verbal duel into theatrical fireworks of the highest order. Andrew S. Paul directs.11/22/2012 - 12/15/2012Time: variousLocation: Charity Randall Theatre, 4301 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, PAwebsite
