Despite injuries and Logan Mankins' seven-game holdout, the Patriots' offensive line put together a strong season.
In fact, the front five played so well that the group earned the 2010 Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award on Friday.
The offensive line surrendered only 25 sacks, fourth best in the NFL, and helped pave the way for the team's first 1,000-yard rusher in six seasons.
Mankins, whose contract situation has been front and center since last off-season, is so well respected throughout the league that he was named to his third Pro Bowl team despite playing only nine games. Left tackle Matt Light was also named to the Pro Bowl and right tackle Sebastian Vollmer was named second-team All Pro.
However, for a group that has prided itself on consistency and for the most part durability, there are big question marks ahead.
Light and Mankins will be free agents, right guard Stephen Neal may be retiring and center Dan Koppen is entering the final year of his contract. Besides Vollmer, the team hasn't done a great job at drafting long-term replacements as of late and the offensive line will certainly be a top need heading into the draft.
Here are five potential prospects the Patriots may look at in the first few rounds.
1. Mike Pouncey, C/G, Florida: The twin brother of Steelers rookie Maurkice Pouncey, Mike opted to return to Gainesville for his senior year and take over his brother's position at center. He struggled with shotgun snaps early in the season and definitely did not play as well as he did as a guard during his sophomore and junior seasons. While he may not be as polished as his brother, he still displays good athleticism and quickness and could start at guard from day one. He possesses good size at 6-foot-4, 310 pounds and has the versatility to play any of the three interior line positions. He is a late first-round to early second-round prospect.
2. Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College: Possessing great height at 6-foot-7 and long arms (35 ¼ inches), the former Eagle has started every game sincehe stepped foot on campus, tying the school record with 53 starts. Castonzo has experience playing both right and left tackle; however, he is probably best suited to play on the left side in the pros because of his average power and strength. At only 305 pounds, he could stand to put on some more weight in order to anchor better but definitely has the experience and upside to be a mainstay on the line. He is one of the top two or three tackle prospects, and should be selected in the later half of the first round.
3. Derek Sherrod, OT, Mississippi State: A well-rounded student-athlete, Sherrod brings smarts and skill both on and off the field. The former Bulldog was named an AP Second Team All-American and the All-SEC first team. Like Castonzo, he has great size at 6-foot-6, 311 pounds with 35.5-inch arms. He is known as a very good pass blocker due to his agility and overall athleticism. He is a late first-round prospect.
4. Stefen Wisniewski, C, Penn State: Like Sherrod, Wisniewski is an excellent student-athlete who has a ton of playing experience. He emerged as a full-time starter in his sophomore year and has played both guard and center during his time at Penn State. He earned AP All-America Second Team honors this past season and is the interior line prospect behind Pouncey. He comes from a strong football background as his uncle, Steve Wisniewski, was an eight-time Pro Bowl guard for the Raiders. While he doesn't have great size (6-foot-3, 305 pounds), he is intelligent, tough and plays with instincts and technique. Those qualities may remind us of current center Dan Koppen and may make Wisniewski a logical replacement. He should go off the board in the beginning of the second round.
5. Danny Watkins, G, Baylor: Looking for an interesting story? Look no further than the former Baylor Bear who at 26, is just scratching the surface of his abilities. Watkins spent time as a firefighter and played hockey in high school. He took over for Jason Smith, the second overall pick in 2009, at left tackle and earned All-Big 12 Second team honors for his play in 2010. While he doesn't have much experience and is the oldest prospect in the draft, he has great upside due to his size (6-foot-4, 312 pounds) and versatility. He is one of the top guard prospects and his best football is still ahead. After a strong Senior Bowl performance, he is making a push to be selected in the second round.

Brent Pope: Leinster will need a radical overhaul before semi test with Toulon, but they can win
AFTER Leinster's game on Saturday the crowd reaction at a near capacity Aviva Stadium said it all, Leinster had won, but for some reason the victory was greeted with muted relief rather than joyous celebration.
The Leinster supporters will know that had man of the match Ian Madigan not been so accurate with his trusty boot then Leinster could just have easily lost.
Outscored two tries to none, Bath just needed to be more patient, especially in the last 10 minutes when they laid siege in Leinster's '22' only to come out with just three points.
So Leinster march on to France and will face Toulon in Marseilles, but the general feeling around the ground was that they would have to perform a hell of a lot better just to make it to another final.
Having said that, maybe the pressure will be off Leinster now.
On current form Leinster will not be expected to win against heavyweights Toulon and that may just suit them, as on Saturday it seemed they could have been there all night and still not scored a try.
Of course that had something to do with Bath's aggressive rush defence, but Luke Fitzgerald apart, Leinster just seemed to crab continuously across the field in search of space that was clearly not there.
In the end Leinster went to the boot almost twice as often as Bath did, but like against Glasgow a week earlier the kicks from the home team were either too long or the chase ineffective.
Not that Bath were any great shakes in that department either, continuing to kick long at restarts and pretty lackadaisical under the high ball, in either receiving them or chasing them, often just flinging a hand or arm out in hope rather than expectation.
The otherwise outstanding Bath full-back Anthony Watson, by far the game's mores electric counter-attacker summed up his team's kick-chase game perfectly.
Watson chased a pin-point kick somewhat half-heartedly, and when he should have gone into the air to at least challenge Leinster's Rob Kearney he didn't, instead Watson put his body into Kearney's line and as a result he was yellow-carded by ref Jerome Garces.
As Kearney lay injured Watson could have actually seen red, especially from the same ref that sent Ulster and Ireland's Jarrod Payne for an early shower earlier this season.
The laws in regards players leaping salmon-like into the air to retrieve a high ball must now be reviewed, it will not be long before a player is seriously injured, and with no support players unlike the lineout or the restarts players are now so vulnerable.
Leinster did look more organised, disciplined and structured than Bath, and thanks to Bath's ill-discipline and turnovers Leinster took all their chances, Bath didn't. Leinster still lack a creative spark in the 10, 12, 13 channels, and on couple of occasions especially when Bath were down to 14 players there was plenty of space in behind the Bath defensive line to be exploited. But rather than look up and see the space behind the Bath backs the Leinster backs too often just either buried their heads and ran straight into the opposition, or ran across field with no thought of introducing runners at angles or pace.
Only Fitzgerald looked like he might offer something dynamic, something creative.
As expected Leinster's superior scrum became the dominant feature of the game, especially when Bath replaced Welsh strongman Paul James in the second half, and as a result Bath conceded a lot of penalties and turnovers in this area.
What a luxury it is for Leinster to have somebody like Marty Moore to come off the bench. But to win this competition this year or in the future Leinster need more than just a scrum, they need an X factor, something that Johnny Sexton's much anticipated return and some new off season signings will hopefully bring. They will need a radical makeover before taking on Toulon, but if anyone can do it Leinster can.

THE UK must be ready for attacks by "opportunists", but self-defence drone and military attacks will remain within the law, Attorney General Jeremy Wright said yesterday.
Speaking to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Wright gave the fullest account yet of the government's legal basis for strikes against overseas targets.
Discussing the terror threat from groups like Daesh, he insisted intelligence must prove the existence of an imminent threat to the UK before the military is allowed to act, stating: "For the United Kingdom, our determination to keep our streets and our citizens safe does not diminish the commitment to a rules-based international order the world has come to expect of us.
"However far outside the law our attackers may go, we must defend ourselves and defeat them within the law."
The comments come more than one year after it emerged that an Aberdeen man was amongst two British citizens killed by the government in a drone strike in Syria.
Ruhul Amin, 26, died in an attack targeted at fellow Daesh fighter Reyaad Khan, from Cardiff.
The incident took place near Raqqa in October 2015 and was revealed to Parliament by David Cameron the following month.
It was the first of its kind on a British citizen and was said to have been carried out in an "act of self defence" to prevent a "major event" in the UK.
Then-Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said Westminster would "not hesitate" to repeat the offensive in order to avert potential terror plots aimed at the UK.
Yesterday Wright confirmed this was lawful, stating: "The UK is a world leader in promoting, defending and shaping international law and for the first time we are setting out how we determine whether an attack is imminent.
"We are a long way from being able to see troops massing on the horizon. The frontline has irretrievably altered. Technology has made it easier for terrorists to carry out attacks.
"The law has to keep up with the changing times. The government has a primary duty to protect the lives of its citizens."
However, Wright said defensive action against targets abroad can only be ordered when it can be proven that using local law enforcement would not work, or when the host nation is unable or unwilling to act.
Wright described the decision to take such action as "one of the most serious any government can face", saying all other preventative options must have first been exhausted.
Cameron stated the Raqqa attack had been carried after "meticulous planning". After Amin's death, childhood friend Stephen Marvin revealed he had "absolutely no fear of death".
The international terrorism threat level in the UK has been set at "severe" for more than two years.

Galle, Sri Lanka – a travel guide in pictures
I first visited Sri Lanka a few years ago as a surprise birthday gift when we pretty much toured the whole island. Well not quite, as we skipped what is probably the most beautiful corner – the gorgeous colonial fort town of Galle on the south-western coast. And a UNESCO World Heritage site. Don't ask me why, but I expect it's because I didn't design the itinerary – that's love for you. Anyhow I finally made it to Galle for a mini Christmas break.
Rather than bore you with words, I am trying something different today, so given my best friend is Instagram (my iphone is the only camera I now use), here's FooDiva's pictorial guide to all things dining, drinking and travelling in Galle. Just hover over each image for captions and links to websites.
WEATHER: The best time to visit Galle and the south-western coast of Sri Lanka if you'd like to avoid rain is December to March.
FLY: I flew from Dubai to Colombo, Sri Lanka's capital with Emirates – a four-hour direct flight. It's a two and a half hour drive to Galle on the new motorway. Hotels can organise a private car and driver – expect to pay around US$100 one way.
VISA: Most nationalities require a tourist visa which can be obtained on arrival for US$25 (valid for one month) or apply online in advance here.
SLEEP: I chose to stay at a quirky boutique hotel, The Fort Printers where the food is exceptional, but I also checked out the grand dame, Amangalla (expensive), Galle Fort Hotel (my pick next time for a change of scene) and Deco on 44.
For a taste of Sri Lankan fare closer to home, here are a handful of Dubai restaurant recommendations from a trusted native – Red Box in Al Qusais with a new location in Discovery Gardens opening soon, Chef Lanka in both Karama and Discovery Gardens and Curry Leaf in Bur Dubai. And if you'd rather cook at home, I bought Kumar Pereira's Kumar Family Cookbook with a mix of traditional Sri Lankan dishes and modern comfort food.
So does a picture tell a thousand words? Words or photos, what do you prefer? Or both? Sri Lanka enthusiasts, any other tips to add? Whenever I travel, I use Instagram to give tips on the go, so if not already, feel free to follow @foodiva
A bientôt.

Transport Day 2013 in Warsaw, Poland, is proudly supported by the Quantum Code trading service as a part of the company's climate-related sponsorship program.
The failure of global climate policy to slow the alarming growth of greenhouse gas emissions from transport needs to be addressed by scaling up sustainable transport strategies that simultaneously address health, safety, and economic development while cutting CO2 pollution according to the participants of Transport Day 2013 in Warsaw, Poland.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in his message to Transport Day, called for "new ways of moving goods and people. I have called a Climate Summit in September 2014 to raise political will and catalyse concrete action on all climate-related issues, including sustainable transport".
The Secretary General commented that the $175 billion voluntary commitment of the world's eight largest development banks at Rio+20 "has helped to make sustainable transport a significant feature of discussions on the post-2015 development agenda".

The France international has struggled to find his best form since returning from a broken leg suffered in the final game of last season.
The 29-year-old insists that he is aware that he has not been at the top of his game this term and is intent on improving in the second half of the season.
"I'm going to be honest with myself – [I've not been] at my best," Sagna told Arsenal Player.
"I'm not very happy with myself, but it's football. It's a part where I need to get better. I've been working since last summer but I need to work more because I've been out a long time.
"I didn't really have a pre-season but at a high level you don't have time to breathe. You have a game every three days and have to keep coming. I'm looking forward to coming back to my best."
He added: "It's a bit of everything. When you don't perform as you used to be when you've been injured for so long, you need your confidence back. That's been a bit low recently.
"I'm a professional so I know it can happen, but not for too long. Everyone is waiting for me to perform well so I'm looking forward to doing it."

The objective of this study was to create a land cover map derived from 1 kilometer AVHRR data using all available bands and derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and a full year of data (April 1992-March 1993). This thematic map was resampled to 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 degree grids for ISLSCP II. During this re-processing, the original University of Maryland (UMD) land cover type and fraction maps were adjusted to match the water/land fraction of the ISLSCP II land/water mask. These maps were generated for use by modelers of global biogeochemical cycles and others in need of an internally consistent, global depiction of land cover. This 1km map was also one of the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) at-launch land cover maps. The data set describes the geographic distributions of 13 classes of vegetation cover (plus water and unclassified classes) based on a modified International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) legend. The data set also provides the fraction of each of the 15 classes within the coarser resolution cells. The data set is provided at three spatial resolutions of 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 degrees in latitude and longitude. We refer the reader to the reference below for more information on data processing of the original 1km data set.

Complaint Review: Motor Vehicle Solutions
- Motor Vehicle Solutions
1278 Jungermann Rd. Suite A
St. Peters, Missouri
United States of America
- Phone: 18005271984
- Web:
- Category: Auto Warranty
Motor Vehicle Solutions Enterprise Financial Group, Inc., Michael Ingracia, Tom Schiller Michael falsified and adjusted mileage information I provided to him to make a sale, he no longer is an employee, I was given a new agent, Tom Schiller and after charging me monthly, they denied my cl St. Peters, Missouri
I immediately called and spoke with the agent, Michael Ingracia. He was seemingly thorough about the full warranty protection plan, and I continued to discuss with him the fees, deductible, coverage, and of course if my vehicle qualifies for this plan considering my current mileage. I submitted to him via phone, my VIN#, correct mileage and provided him with info he needed. Upon doing this, he put me on hold and came back stating that I do in fact qualify for the full coverage warranty since I have not had any problems since I purchased the vehicle 2 years before, and more importantly the mileage on my vehicle is below what allows a customer to qualify.
I lost signal on my mobile several times, and he called me back, which at the time I thought he was going above and beyond his duties as a customer representative. Never having been scammed, I didn't think twice about him being persistent in calling me. In fact, I thought it was professional because much like everyone else who has had a call drop with something important, it would be a dream to have the same the customer rep call us back, rather than having to call them back and have to explain everything all over again.
Once he called back, he went through all of the information I provided him and verified it as correct. He informed me that they have several payment options. After discussing them, I made my initial deposit and he then stated that I would receive the informational packet along with my membership card. Which I received within 9 business days, and I called back to let him know I received it.
Months had gone by and I was being charged every month, and having no problem with my vehicle I didn't expect any scam or wrong doing on their part.
As of last August 2010, I had to take my vehicle in for service. I immediately called Michael Ingracia back, and come to find out he was no longer an employee of Motor Vehicle Solutions. I then asked the customer rep what I needed to do, and the MVS representative stated that I had to have my JEEP towed to the dealership at my cost, and they would reimburse me 100% on top of providing me with a "free" rental once everything is approved. I was informed that I would have to fax any documents and /or receipts I would have for any repairs or oil changes I had on the vehicle.
Upon towing my Jeep, I continued to call almost daily to find out when they would send someone to the dealership to "inspect" my vehicle. I grew tired and began calling the dealership and spoke to Chuck, the service manager. After expressing my concerns, Chuck then explained that most companies like Motor Vehicle Solutions tend to only respond if I'm a pain in the a**. Which makes sense considering that all of my calls were never replied to, and so I continued to call and now demanded to speak to someone immediately. I was then told that someone would contact me via phone but, they never did. I even asked who my agent was and they couldn't provide me with a name or extension number.
After a few weeks I received a call from Chuck at the dealership, informing me that Tom Schiller (an agent i never knew I had) had just called him and for me to call his office immediately. I then called Motor Vehicle Solutions and asked for Tom Schiller, and to no surprise I was put on hold after verifying my information, only to be put through a call that was not answered.
My annoyance with being ignored and avoided grew for a variety of reasons, and I was especially bothered by the fact that Motor Vehicle Solutions continued to charge me the monthly fee, all the while doing absolutely nothing. I called every single day, sometimes a couple of times a day and finally received a call from Tom Schiller informing me that I had to further inconvenience myself and fax all of the info back into to them because they have no record of it. The fax number was then verified, and to no surprise I had written down the correct number. For some odd reason, Tom Schiller then gave me another fax number. To avoid any more issues, I then faxed everything to both numbers, and upon receiving the fax he personally called to inform me that everything was in order and that they would finally be sending someone to inspect my vehicle which has been sitting at the dealership.
The insanity of the situation worsened, and nearly 4 months since I initially filed a claim my vehicle was still at the dealership and upon the dealership completing the repairs, I received a notice in the mail stating that my claim was denied. I immediately contacted Motor Vehicle Solutions and was turned away but, not before being told they could issue a refund for the inconvenience. I left numerous voicemails for Tom Schiller on his personal voicemail and he has refused to return my calls.
I continued to call day after day, leaving message after message and it got to the point where the rep from the toll free number told me to stop calling because obviously nobody is going to call me back and I should have realized that after the first 5 messages.
As of now, it is 26MAR2011 my vehicle is still at the dealership with a repair cost of $4,700.00, a cost that Motor Vehicle Solutions refuses to pay for.
It is insane that this company exists, and it's obvious that this sale was intentionally fraudulent. I provided Michael Ingracia with correct information pertaining to mileage and vehicle info, all of which matched my logs for oil changes, either by self or the dealership as well as the Carfax report. It is even more obvious, now more than ever that Michael Ingracia intentionally lied just to make a sale.
They got their money, on top of which they charged me up until I put a stop on their monthly charge once I was denied, and I am now without my vehicle (which I own) as it sits at dealership. To ad insult to injury, they stated that they will no longer charge me the monthly fee. What a joke!

Accommodation is Great Value
On a global scale, Thailand has got to be one of the cheapest countries for families to visit.
If your children are picky eaters, they'll be fine in Thailand ( and it's incredibly cheap)
It's not just Thai food. Western food is available too. Kids can stay healthy and eat well on simple foods like eggs, fruit, cheese toasties and chips. Thai food isn't always spiked with chilies. There is a 7-11 convenience store every few paces in Thailand, you'll never be far from an emergency yoghurt, juice or Milo. There is Mc Donalds, Starbucks and KFC if your kids need that sort of thing.
In terms of costs, if you stay away from the international tourist restaurants you can get great authentic thai food for less than a dollar per meal! An article in Travel Happy says " a plate of stir fried vegetables (without meat) over rice should cost 25 – 30 THB ($0.83 – $1). Add chicken or pork to the mixture and it might increase to 35 – 40 THB ($1.16 – $1.32) for a plate. Cheapest bowls of Thai noodles can be eaten for 25 – 30 THB ($0.83 – $1) as well."
Getting around Thailand is easy.
The sleeper trains in Thailand are excellent. The carriages are shut at night and there is an attendant on duty, it would be very difficult for anyone without a ticket to just wander through
It's not all drugs and full moon parties.
Thailand has long been a big draw for the gap year kids and there is a big party scene to match. As with the sex trade, if you stay away from the party scene, it won't bother you at all. It's been states that many families actually choose to take their kids to the full moon party on Ko Phangan for the experience in the early evening.
Thailand is beautiful, the Thai people love kids, the history, culture and architecture are amazing and the beaches are superb.
Thailand is an amazing country. Breathtakingly beautiful temples and palaces, rich culture and lovely beaches. The Thais really do love children, they constantly make a fuss of my curly-haired little one. The kids can get fed up with it sometimes, maybe teach them to say no. Always remember when you travel, that most people are just like you, with families that they love, they're usually there to help you, not harm you.Enjoy Thailand!

New Jersey—Four Sentenced for Stealing Funds from a Student Government Organization
A former office manager for the New Jersey City University Student Government
Organization, her husband, and two associates were sentenced for embezzling
more than $500,000 from the organization. Between 2007 and 2010, the former
Employee issued more than 200 checks from a Student Government Organization
bank account made payable to her husband and to the other scheme participants,
which they used to purchase goods and services for their own benefit. The former

The former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Circle System
Group were charged with perpetrating a long-running fraud scheme against
schools in New Jersey and other States. Circle System Group was a sports
equipment and reconditioning company that provides services to school districts,
colleges, universities, and professional sports teams nationwide. The two officials
allegedly submitted hundreds of fraudulent invoices and other paperwork to

routinely double-billed schools in an effort to increase Circle System Group sales
and revenue. As a result of the double-billing, Circle System Group allegedly
received more than $970,000.
In July 2009, O'Shea entered a guilty plea admitting that he stole between $400,000 and $1 million from PACS by: (1) using approximately $710,000 in PACS' funds to purchase a building in the name of his purported non-profit business; (2) demanding kickbacks from PACS vendors; (3) submitting for reimbursement at least $40,000 in fraudulent invoices for personal meals, entertainment, home improvements, and gas and telephone bills; (4) having approximately $50,000 worth of home repairs improperly billed to PACS; (5) collecting approximately $34,000 in rent from entities using PACS facilities; and (6) hiring a computer firm in an attempt to destroy computer evidence to obstruct this investigation.

Rutland County Nutrition Coalition
Steve Peters
Every few months I get together with other folks in the Rutland community who are also working to improve food quality and access. This group is the Rutland County Nutrition Coalition and this week in my column in the Rutland Reader, I share a little insight on them. Here is a reposting of that article. I spend a large part of my day thinking about food. What I'll cook, where I'll shop, how I'll grow my favorite vegetables or what restaurant I'll explore are all common thoughts bouncing around inside my head. And while I can do all of those things with a degree of comfort and ease, I'm often reminded that not everyone can.
"So many of our families are two generations away from those who cook," Sue Bassett, coordinator of the Rutland Community Cupboard, stated bleakly at a recent meeting of the Rutland County Nutrition Coalition.
It's a sad, but true fact: today many families, especially those with limited income, are not cooking their own food. It is one of the many concerning topics discussed among the coalition — a group of like-minded folks involved in our community's pressing food issues, especially those of access and nutrition.
If you haven't heard of the group, in which I participate through my work at the Rutland Area Farm and Food Link, I'm not entirely surprised. It exists much in the form of a support and communications network for its members. Organizations such as the Community Cupboard, RAFFL, the Boys and Girls Club, the Southwestern Vermont Council on Aging and Rutland City Public Schools are all represented.
The coalition originated in the mid 1990s with members from UVM Extension, the Vermont Department of Health, the Rutland Regional Medical Center and Rutland County Head Start. These organizations banded together to address the food and nutrition issues they witnessed in their respective corners of the community. At the time, they were known as Community Team Nutrition, but as they've grown, their focus remains the same: to look closely at food access and utilization.
"There wasn't a collective voice speaking to food and nutrition in the community," says Bethany Yon, a nutritionist with the Vermont Department of Health and the coalition's lead member. "Now there is."
If you have heard of the coalition, it's probably through Yon and the television program she hosts on PEGTV — "What's Cookin' Rutland."
When RRMC was looking to create a public television show, Yon helped reinvent "What's Cookin'" to address their desired health concerns. With a focus on local food and nutrition, she cheerfully welcomes other coalition members as guests each month. Her enthusiasm on topics as varied as cleaning out your freezer, making a meal with items from a food shelf and cooking with kids, is engrossing.
Although the coalition doesn't take on or produce its own initiatives — there is no paid staff — it assists its members in doing so. In fact, Everyday Chef, the cooking education program I run at RAFFL, is a direct result of the group's efforts.
Years ago, with the help of the Bowse Health Trust and UVM's Center for Rural Studies, the coalition conducted a survey on Rutland's food barriers, needs, health concerns and where people were doing their food shopping. They wanted to get an idea of people's thoughts about nutrition.
"Everyone always says there just needs to be more classes. But when you hold more classes people just don't come," Yon explains. "We need to go where the people already are."
That's exactly why, when Everyday Chef started up in 2011, it was formed as a traveling educational program. Instead of regularly holding classes at a specified location, we travel throughout Rutland (and beyond) to provide cooking education for those who need or request it.
Over the years, the coalition has helped organize a number of other campaigns. Shopping tours for WIC and Head Start families, establishing cooking curriculum and training for childcare providers, working with Share Our Strength, and distributing bone health information to young girls are just a few.
At a recent meeting, free summer meals for kids, the letter carrier food drive and the farm-to-family coupon distribution schedule were all discussed.
In addition, Jenna Whitson, a child nutrition advocate from Hunger Free Vermont, was a guest presenter who brought to our attention the number of eligible schools in Rutland County that could be taking advantage of funds to serve an after-school meal and snack.
The coalition meets a handful of times a year and is in the process of determining where to direct future attention. New contributors to the group are always welcome.
"We would like to see who else we could bring to the table. It's valuable for people know what other programs exist and for the cross pollination of organizations and ideas," says Yon.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer at a museum there are lots of opportunities to get involved. You could help with meeting and greeting visitors, documenting and caring for collections, publicising events and exhibitions, or with family-friendly and schools activities. Museums are also often looking to recruit people with different background skills to serve as Trustees.
Volunteering in your local museum can be mutually rewarding, providing a chance to share interests and skills, work with the public, enjoy companionship or gain work experience. Anyone working or volunteering in Suffolk museums also has access to a free training programme through SHARE Museums East. A small number of museums may also be able to provide opportunities for people who need support to volunteer.
Please contact the museum directly if you are interested in becoming involved in any of these ways. Or, for more information get in touch with the Association's Secretary: email@example.com

Supercut, Feat. Big Boi, Safaree, Bizzy Bone & More
With no knowledge of who the lyrics belong to, a variety of artists give their unfiltered opinion on other rappers' bars.
Dancehall icon Beenie Man was set to perform in Toronto this weekend for the second night of Drake's OVO Fest 2016, but had to cancel at the last minute thanks to some scary news.
Turns out, he has Zika virus — and that's not all.
Beenie Man took to his Instagram page to apologize to fans for missing the show and explained his current medical concerns. He added that he also contracted Dengue fever — from the same mosquito, no less — and is undergoing blood tests, injections, and pills while he fights the two diseases.
Jah know...dah week ya deal wid me a way!! ⚠ No visa fi mi Canada show (I apologize again to my fans in case you haven't seen the press release) ⚠ Zika Virus hol' mi ⚠ The same Zika mosquito gi mi dengue. 😠 Blood test, injections, pills. Wi a hol firm still. Selassie a guide I n I right through so once mi have life me a give thanks. #Unstoppable
Both Zika and dengue are treatable and rarely fatal, so we're confident Beenie will make a full recovery and find a way to make it up to all the disappointed fans.

No clouds, no wind, and a ridge of high pressure led to record-breaking temperatures in Crescent City on Wednesday and Thursday.
Crescent City saw 80- and 75-degree temperatures on Wednesday, April 30, and Thursday, May 1, respectively, which set new records for those days. Previous high temperature records were 75 degrees for April 30, set in 1958, and 69 degrees for May 1, set in 1993.
High temperature records were also set this week in Eureka, Brookings, Medford and North Bend.
Foggy, cloudy, and rainy conditions will prevail through the weekend in Crescent City, with an 80 percent chance of rain tonight and Sunday. Temperature records probably won't be broken again though, according to Bob Ruehl,
National Weather Service representative. Today and Sunday will see highs in the mid-50s.

Duprees - You Belong To Me lyrics
You Belong To Me by Duprees
The Duprees
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me.
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
But remember when a dream appears
You belong to me.
Ill be so alone without you
Maybe youll be lonesome too---and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
Watch the jungle when its wet with rain
Just remember till youre home again
You belong to me
